Roy Haynes Drum Solo 1973

[Streamline09]

I've heard Max, Buddy, Art, Tony, Louie, Tain, Kobie....etc., but I can't believe I'm only now realizing the mastery of Roy Haynes. Fantastic mind...and still going strong at 86! Get his new "Roy-alty" CD. Thanks.

[bcwdrums]

Great playing,......

[Fendermrr]

Man that high hat sounds good.

[SiCmetalfan]

roy haynes most certainly knows the rudiments, and this video is fine proof of that

[valentynesuite]

every time i heard haynes i heard what is a superior mind on the rhythm; not gym, not circus!! JUST MUSIC

[valentynesuite]

a pure musical genius

[rebusd]

(living) proof that you don't necessarily need rudiments up the wazoo to be musical.

Maybe if I keep playing for another twenty years I'll get that good, lol

[rebusd]

wow

[rebusd]

wow.

[ackeiswetter]

[NouveauNick]

Oh snap.  Just...wow. Totally different, totally hip, totally legit.

[rrdrums110]

This guy is king of quick rebound in his sticking. I don't know anybody that pulls off the drum as fast

[zedavod]

Freaking crazy!

[DylanHowe]

[slimtothejim]

I love "Legends of Jazz Drumming." I don't know how to upload vids from vcr tapes though. If i could, I would. Like the Joe Morello Take Five solo. If you can, please upload it.

Thank you So Much For posting this!!!!!!

[PiselMaiden]

Roy is still a great drummer!

[eskimoposh]

Wow, first to comment on this brilliant piece of footage!

I had the pure pleasure of seeing Roy live about 9 years ago and I'll never forget how different he was from any other drummer i have seen live. Not only did he make the rest of the band shake their heads in disbelief for 2 hours, but he also kept the crowd on their toes by jumping off his stool every 2 minutes, yelling " Daaaaamn!!!!"

God bless Roy for not only being a master, but for playing with his heart and not his head.

[jayscott49]

So brilliant, saw him with Gary Burton in 68 or so, and he's still playing and awesome as ever! Talk about your roll models.

[drummerob92]

roy haynes is the most amazing cat!

[Thomlistentoslayer]

he does deserve more credit

[flejolost]

che tocco! è il migliore in assoluto

[memzehni]

...about 17.000 views and no one comment??? About one of the greatest drummers ever??!!

[crazy8sdrums]

Amazing! Roy is my favorite drummer of all time... not Buddy, not Neil, Not Lars, not Herb, not all these other amazing drummers that I love to listen to, but Roy. Roy is the MAN!

[Pluvio]

beautiful

[jujutay]

Thanks for posting this. I never heard much later Roy Haynes - the guy is brilliant. That is some seriously sophisticated shit!

[Mikejizzle510]

his ride cymbal technique is off the chain!!!

[aselmerius]

What a drummer! Nice to have Jack DeJohnette's statement here. Great!

[Bodofinglok]

Masterful.

[darthinvader69]

One of the most under rated masters of this instrument

[mattcissy]

Awesome. For the uninitiated, check out Roy's playing on the Andrew Hill albums 'Black Fire' and 'Smokestack'.

[hurting]

f yeah I love the way he tuned his drums

[gilmur]

termina de tocar y la pone seguro jajaja

[tettestagg]

Man...The greatest drummer in history!!

Dave Weckl, watch and learn!

[Bodofinglok]

This is prime.

Thanks a ton.

[ackeiswetter]

He has the touch

[Plastrondrummer]

Still amazing today at 82 Years Old

[fcossavella]

where did you get this?

[fcossavella]

wow

[DougDinsdale]

I remember seeing him for the one time and thought that he looked like he was skiing through his solos - like Jean-Claude Killy on some Giant Slalom course. His feet and hands were so nimble.

Another time I saw him, he did this fill. So surprising and powerful, as if some mini explosion/possesion came out of him. People gasped. Even he was surprised. Enough that he paused playing for a moment and said, "Damn!"

[DrummerEH]

I can't wait to see Roy latter this year!

[fcossavella]

Where did you get this???????????
