Max Roach- the drum also waltzes solo

[ImaniHekima]

Max made the drums SING.

[DanLetts97]

You can see where Bruford gets his sound.

[stillphil]

@DanLetts97 also where (here on YT look up "John Bonham Moby Dick") John got some ideas from, though he couldn't execute them too well at the beginning of the aforementioned solo.

[LASoeiro]

No words could describe this beauty...

[marlondavis1000]

the waltz of a master

[JohnyVirgil]

Recommended to me by Bill Bruford.

[rhythmatist2013]

@JohnyVirgil Mr. Bruford most certainly knows his drummers! being a master drummer himself.

[Easleytee]

Listen to Jo Jones construct and execute a drum solo. A true Master.

[Easleytee]

Completely overrated as a soloist.

[MrDoctorRocker]

@Easleytee whats that supposed to mean? he is really good

[snooters]

@Easleytee Shouldn't you be looking at Travis Barker and Lars vids. How did you get here?

[rynomite69]

love it. enough said

[LASoeiro]

It is hard to describe with words...

Superlative... What a a great drummer with such a refined taste...

[jesseroman3]

what i like about these old school drummers is that they all sound different, now a days everybody tries to imintate everybody else

[futilityroom]

Had this album when I were a lad...loved it. Hasn`t aged a single day (unlike me!)

[DanLetts97]

This is one of true great solos of al time. I play this everyday cause there is just so much you can do with it and it's just fun to play; it's music on the drums. Learn to play this and you'll stand out in almost any company...I love it. Endless possibilities...thats whats so great about it!

[heru1966]

Max Roach has a way of playing solo that is so MELODIC. Wonderful stuff.

[XanderDrakul]

Sorry, actually i can feel max roch in this one, nice sounds you got man thnx for sharing.

[njdrumguy1]

I met Max at a jazz festival in Stamford CT, late '70's. When he shook my hand, I started to shake. i'll never forget that meeting.

[justindene]

brian blade looks so much like him on that first picture. kinda crazy.

[surfocaster]

Classic. Thanks for the post.

[tyroneasteele]

Roach was so uneven handed, though.

[Asymmatrix]

Max Roach = class.

[MasterChief3624]

Max Roach is not everyone's cup of tea. His style is definitely an acquired taste. But once you acquire said taste, his true genius shows. He is so good.

Him and Buddy Rich <3

[Mikespyke]

jonn bonham uses this for part of his moby dick solo.....pretty amazing. obviously all the people listening to this have good taste in music can you all give me some feedback ona a drum compilaitonm video that i made its on my profile and i really need sommem comments on it thanks!!!

[TheLiesette]

@Mikespyke as well as neil peart.

[speedoflite1]

deep man deep

[134679bg]

John Bonham starts with this in his moby dick solo in the royal albert hall concert. Great solo!

[ryan79ryan]

thats why im lookin this up! neil peart also plays it in all his solos but in a differnt more difficult form. bass hihat hi hat with single stroke rolls varying from 4-16 its pretty hard and for me alot harder then max roaches idea

[darthjoey13]

@ryan79ryan He's playing triplets, and it can be harder like this without straight linear notes like NP does. Because he counts (1)Bass (2)Hi-hat (3)Rest.

[jbatistabr]

Great!!!

Could anyone tell what recording is this?

[bruskisbud0901]

niel peart does a variation on this 3/4 waltz solo in his drum solos.

[CiscoElBozo]

Simply...great!

[theshoe124]

im learning this solo right now, and towards the ends on the hihats , those rolls are 5tuplets.

its beast

[nocturnezero]

Max Roach > God
