  • I just tried to play metal drum solo with brushes!It sounds really...jazzy.

  • Okay with all the shit calling that guy out about Travis Barker, I'm sure Travis Barker could easily do this if he really wanted to.So saying that Travis Barker sucks is very much uncalled for. He's a quality drummer, maybe not the best, but definitely up there

  • @XxFadingxSoulxX i agree with you i really dont think theres such thing as a "sucky" drummer as long you play and love it, then your a drummer. although i do think that there can be overrated drummers haha

  • Thanks, Joe.

  • loved jms brushwork when he knits with the bass player listen to the drive he gets,spent an evening with this drum giant learnt a lot from him,we all miss him.a what a super guy to talk to. gordon clarke plymouth england

  • Goosebumps, anyone?

  • Think I just got out of an elevator

  • wow are you kidding me 4against1 ive seen you trolling many drum legend videos saying that Barker is better...please go away you troll, get a life and seriously fuck off you annoying pathetic waste of air...

  • Thank you! I just bought a snare drum yesterday and your video has got me started. xx

  • @4against1 oh and before i forget "those weird looking fan things" are called brushes, 

  • @4against1 firstly learn to spell secondly learn about styles other than travis barker playing fast isn't everything and a lot of drummers including jojo mayer use joe's techniques you want a good drummer you've got one of the best on this video

  • how is everyone not getting 4against1's obvious sarcasm...

  • @4against can't tell if trolling or just stupid

  • Joe was great with brushes- but check out Philly Joe Jones- can't even figure out what is going on there- amazing stuff

  • i actually think that travis barker has more haters than fans..

  • My current drum teacher was taught by this awesome guy.

  • @jazzbutterworth hey, same here! haha

  • So glad they got this before he passed away , he seems a bit frustrated with brush lessons , but hey NBD he was a legend in drumming , RIP J.M.

  • hes has a i dont give a fuck face XD

  • What excellent HH work! Try and splash your hats with that kind of control, kids!

  • That intro was the beginning of As I Am by Dream Theater!

  • the perect grandpa:D:D:D

  • Joe is as smooth as silk and firm as the earth. "Earth".

  • @mrperryjthomas JOE MORELLO RULES! (...Rich lacks 'finesse' in his spirit) Some folk don't get that 'hearing' and 'listening' are two different things. You HEAR Rich, you LISTEN to Morello!

  • How could anyone dislike this video? Even if you don't get it, have respect for one of the "true" masters.

  • Krupa and Rich were teen faves when I started getting into jazz forty years ago. Then I discovered the Dave Brubeck Quartet. Joe Morello was THE force behind Brubeck,for whom none of his different time signature pieces would have been as fully realized as they were. The sublimity of drummers like Morello,Max Roach,Ed

    Thigpen,Elvin Jones,etc.,is lost because some people hear a drummer,but they're not LISTENING to the drummer! I give Buddy points for making the drums popular,

    but there is more.

  • Joe Morello is one of the greatest drummers on brushes AND sticks who ever lived.

    Shame he doesn't get as noticed or gets as many accolades as Rich does. For my money,Morello and Bellson are far superior to the loud banging of Buddy Rich and his crowd.

  • @mrperryjthomas I agree, yet drummers like Ed Thigpen maintain that at least technically Buddy Rich was the greatest (see the book on Oscar Peterson: 'The Will To Swing' by Gene Lees).

  • @mrperryjthomas... Oh dear god, finally I get to know someone who really understands the true essence of this kind of drumming and managed to keep himself away from all of those Buddy Rich's cock suckers out there whom don't realize that he was NOT the best drummer of all time, first of all because there's NO ONE who could fit such a tittle, and second beacuse he was just a freakin loud banger on drums; no dynamics, no tasty grooves... no musicallity, just a bunch of loud notes

  • I remeber once that I showed one of buddy rich's videos to a group of friends whom I used to play with (professional musicians... all of them), and we all were watching the video and thinking to ourselves something like "what the fuck is this guy doing?, it's just a bunch of notes without any musical context goin' on in there"... and man, I wont deny that buddy had a hell of a hand-technique but... what the fuck is technique worth of if there's no music goin' on?. That's my point...

  • the world became a bit less bright the day Joe died

  • does anyone know what kind of batter head he was using on that snare in this video? I want one!

  • To all of you Travis Barker ass kissers; this is what you call REAL drumming.

  • @MrTamaguy There are no comments on this page saying that travis barker is great, so stfu about him "not being a good drummer" your the only whos even mentioned him.

  • @goodnamepending Be quiet, little boy. Did I say Travis Barker was not a good drummer? Learn how to ready for content.  You should be doing your homework, you little twerp. By the way, it should be "You're the only one who has mentioned him." Jackass.

  • Joe Morello. Was one of the best people alive.

  • joe was one badass motherfucker

  • what kind of music is this? jazz?

  • @vlaiden05 yes

  • Anyone what song is this ? I mean name ?

  • Such incredible touch and feel. Consumate professional drumming. RIP Mr. Morello.

  • we should all hale this late and great legend, thumbs up to joe morello!! The true master of the drum set !!!

  • luv. his. setup.

  • smooooooooooooth.....

  • My favorite drummer!

  • ai nao concordo buddy rich é o melhor

    estamos precisando de bateristas assim

  • Rip Joe morello . simply the best of the best.  you are a true god in the jazz world.

  • 3:12 where did this guy come from?

  • @calv0n That's Steve Smith, one of the best drummers ever (along with Joe) and I think this part is presented almost like an interview.

  • he looks like a sea turtle, but a sea turtle who's smooth as fuck

  • he looks like a sea turtle

  • So remember, When playing the drums you have to add your personality to it when playing. They must be an extension of your body.

  • a true chef, all the burners going and never forgetting to stir the pot.

  • Brushes are sort of a lost art these days. This is awesome.

  • I'm a metal drummer and fcking love this.

  • those cymbals look tasty :{

  • RIP

  • man he's gotten old, still looks like he's havin a hell of a time tho

  • Joe was a crazy drummer. He doesn't get the respect he deserved. I saw his Take 5 (from 1961,Ralph Gleason show) and he just killed it! The thing about it is Joe had poor vision. He felt the rhythm. A great that people need to show some love for. His sound just makes me melt.

    He passed a few weeks ago and no one even mentioned it.

    Joe-Mo: Not your average Joe!

  • Can't believe there are haters on Joe Morello. Go back to school kids !

  • @4against1, your kidding right? please tell me your kidding...

  • @4against1 He could beat travis barker easily... even though hes dead. So to sum it up, travis barker's playing style is not even comparable to a dead guy. God forsaken that Joe should have died anyway since he was a landmark of drumming history.

  • @4against1 This has GOT to be a joke! Pull up your diapers, kid, and go home to mommy!

  • @dhoosee Dang you now i gotta go find his comment lol

  • @4against1 Shut up, hipster 4 year old. Compared to Travis Barker..This guy invented drumming, whereas Barker simply drew a drum set on a piece of paper.

  • @4against1 Travis barker isn't even the best modern drummer, Brann Dailor, John Dolmayan and Tommas Haake are all better by far, also, the take 5 solo is far superior to anything travis barker has done, he can't even fucking improvise.

  • @4against1 You mad? Barker sucks, i used to love him when i started off but he just plays simple 4/4 fast I think Lars Ulrich is better than him and thats quite bad seeing as he never practices.

  • @4against1 "Lol at this dude in shade", for your information this guy's been legally blind all his life.

  • @4against1 Find out how to spell and Travis whats-his name is shit. The "fan things" are brushes and this is real drumming.

  • @4against1 how many replies have you received about this lol. but anyway yeah you suck for thinking travis barker is good at all because if you and travis had anywhere near the intelligence of a dog you'd know those are called brushes and i'm pretty sure he's blind and you suck at spelling. you don't know anything about music so... shut up.

  • Joe Morello had a lot of class, both personally and professionally. May we all be so fortunate.

  • Trust Steve Smith to be there :P

  • Rest in Peace Joe...you will be missed!

  • Thank God for Joe Morello! Hope we all get to play 'til we die...

  • Dear Joe, You are in heaven now, thank you for all your years playing the drums.

    Rest is Peace.

    Regards Karel from Holland

  • This dude has been around a long time

  • joe freakin rocks! \m/

  • God bless you Joe thanks for everthing you given us !

  • did anybody else go "OOO Steve Smith"

  • holy crap its yoda!

  • @drummer9042

    FUCK YOU

  • @thealecchannel why?

  • Two raters tommed when they should have snared.

    RIP Mr. Morello.

  • RIP Joe Morello. Such an amazing musician.

  • Comment removed

  • @KarelStuiv lmao rust? nice typo haha

  • I remember that a friend of mine was really inspired by his music and I thought that he was an amazing drummer just by watching one of his creative solos. R.I.P. Joe.

  • Joe you really new how to swing....RIP

  • freaking glasses

  • R.I.P Joe just heard of you today, and watched many of you videos, you are truelly one of the greats

  • R.I.P Joe... You will be missed by many...

  • R.I.P. Joe. One of the greats!

  • Smooth. R. I. P. Joe

  • I'm not the drummer in the family theory and nuances of the technique are well over my head. I just discovered this man from a link someone posted on "The Amazing Era Of The L.A. Session Men" containing a solo where Joe starts out with just his hands then moves to sticks. The control he has is quite impressive no matter what he's doing or what he's doing it with. Love that thing he's got happening there 3:00-3:03; takes NO time at all to get me moving to that groove!!

  • @JonP1961

    That should have been "family, so the theory"

  • masterful!!!!

  • You will be missed, Joe!

  • Keep swinging Joe as Sam Ulano would say...my mentor!

  • Rest In Peace Great Master

  • Grande Mestre, FERA!!!!!!

  • The intro sounds like As I Am - Dream Theater... lol

  • @bluestripedtiger That's because it is. lol

  • sure knows to handle the hi hat too

  • If Steve Smith is asking him questions.... You'd better shut up and listen!

  • @TheDusterB

    Gold!

  • Thank you for keeping the bursh art alive. Its not often now-a-days that we dine at a club with soft music being played live for everyone to enjoy it.

    I would like to ask what that snare head is though? I saw your evens tom heads but I dont see remo crown nor any logo on the snare head. i am just curious.

  • In the beginning of the video, "As i Am" from Dream Theater 0.0

  • this is so boring. im sorry i know his brilliant, but just this video has noooooooo action what so ever.

  • Truly a seasoned professional...

  • I hope im still rockin out when im his age. this is awesome man, a living legend just lost in the groove, thats what its all about, live it love it!

  • Great!!!!  :-))

  • i took drum lessons when i was thirteen...i hated it because i wanted to drum to rock but my drum teacher was a jazz drummer so he made me hold sticks differently and read music i hated every second of it until he took me to see his buddy play...after dave brubeck concert was over we went back stage and played on joes drums and the he showed us how it was done...moral of the story is sometimes your parents know what there talking about

  • can someone tell me what is he doin on 1:08 to 1:10...it sound like a triplet....

    thank you.

  • @teamsleepnine sounds like a triplet with the accent on the last note. one-trip-LET. but in context, it was...

    one-trip-LET. one-trip-let. one-trip-LET. one-trip-let.

  • left leg sync with high hat... no sense:0

  • @bibbybobjo he's doing a rocking motion with his left foot, so when the hi hat is closed, his knee raises, when it opens, it lowers. his heel matches the beat and the ball of his foot comes down on 2 and 4

  • 1:36 Joe's making some good Kat Soup; stir it well Joe, I don't want any BIG lumps. Small lumps is better than no lumps.

  • i love jazz drummers..

  • Ive met this amazing man and had a 2 hour Intensive drum lesson from him when I was on Holiday in Manhattan in 2008..........incredible musician,Great Man.......and One Helluva Drummer,Joe Morello is arguably one of the best ever!!!

  • waoa this is fucking amazing master of masters

  • that snare sounds amazing

  • the snare sound!!!!

  • cool cat

  • Thanks Joe! Too many of today's drummers don't know how to play with brushes--and these ones you are using here, sound so much better than those 'stick brushes' in wide use today.

  • Genio'

  • I love his comment at the end, he's nailed it. We're not drum loops, we're musicians, and we all bring something different to the table.

  • brootal vest

  • Love this guy whith Hank Garland on Jazz Winds From A New Direction the talent all thies guys have RIP Hank Garland

  • @knightriderz71 You are so right! By the way, that Hank Garland album has been REISSUED onto a 2-CD set called "MOVE! The Guitar Artistry Of Hank Garland" on the Euphoria Jazz label #178 This 2 CD set contains the complete Columbia Records Sessions 1959-1960. There are 3 of Hank's albums on these CDs and the sound is superb, and the booklet contains fabulous liner notes and photos. Joe is also portrayed in the Hank bio film "Crazy"...but the language in this film is just awful.

  • That's wonderful!

  • Love this little Sonor Hilite kit!

  • damn hes so old now and still lacing tracks. hes so swinging an affluent its ridiculous.

  • A true artist...

  • Saw a fella playing with brushes when I was around three or four, and loved them ever since ....

  • The Sonors sound better than the DWs he uses IMO

  • for some reason i think this guy smokes mad pot =]

  • @terrypercussion24 could be he, is blind after all, i think glaucoma is what got him blind , doctors prescribe medicinal marihuana to this disease, but not sure. i smoke what dont have sight problems or prescriptions.

  • @terrypercussion24 hah dude i was just thinking the same thing before i read ur comment , stoners can always spot out other stoners :D

  • @terrypercussion24

    It's called aging.

    Amazing, huh?

  • He looks like HItchcock playing drums.

  • @terrypercussion24 ofcourse he does! they all did

  • @terrypercussion24 this guy????? you r a moron. dont you know who this is....dumbass..

  • @terrypercussion24 hahahahah.. I was eating and the first comment i looked at was yours.. and right when i looked at the vid at like the 23 second range i bursted out laughing and choking on my food

  • @terrypercussion24 probably the glasses. RIP Joe.

  • @terrypercussion24, I could smoke all Jamaica just to play like him...

  • I want to hear him play the theme to Everybody Loves Raymond.

  • Joe is a tasty player, love his touch

  • I took from Joe when I was 13. Later I did two sets with the actual father of Rock & Roll Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup (just us) in a small club and the sound was better blended with one guitar and his voice to use brushes on some songs... Suddenly during one he looked at me and nodded for a solo.. Well, I was pretty good with the brushes and rhythm, but wasn't expecting a 5 minute solo then, the first time I played with Arthur. But it was fine, and still am sad the recorder I brought malfunctioned.

  • This is funny , going from looking at metal drumming with the double kick

    then going to see this .  Im not dissing this , because it is another way of playing and I respect that , but it is pretty funny . ahahahah (:

  • @AussieGunn This is funny. Reading such a moronic comment. ahahaha

  • @hetamoses

    Agreed and i'm an aussie

    we have morons here too!

  • @AussieGunn Hey Aussie..pop into the music store,... hire out a set of brushes and maybe give it a go....never know, you might like a change in pace to the world Jazz...cheers ...

  • Now I'm not a drummer, but the thought of moving wire brushes over drum skins doesn't make much sense. Wouldn't they harm the drum skins? Also Morello is an amazing drummer.

  • Comment removed

  • @tnad5212 the drum heads are coated so that the brushes will make a better sound and it also helps to protect the actual head

  • his left hand reminds me of a super mellow cooking show, wisking away at some sort of low calorie desert. lol

    i guess the circle left hand makes it constant, instead of the back and fourth, where you can hear the stop when you change direction..... lets try it

  • Omg, extreme smooth left hand.

  • I love playing with brushes, but never get the feel right like the pros do.Mr Morello is amazing at making all he dose look easy. I really wish I was half as good as him.

  • Idolo !!!

  • does anyone happen to know why a lot of jazz drummers play brushes with the snares off? Morello's not the first I've seen to do this.

  • @jeffkahl He's actually got the snares on; notice how snare snap sound when he's explaining the left hand accent. However a lot of drummers do play snares off. One advantage is that you get rid of snare buzz, which is much more noticeable on quiet tunes. It also gives a softer sound; it's not so 'attacky'. It's the same deal with mallets. As Morello says it's all completely a personal choice. Experimentation is the key.

  • i can't believe what i am seeing-- he is playing with his snares running side to side, no perpendiculer to his body!!!! holy toledo, batman.

    no puedo creer lo que estoy viendo-- su entorchada esta colocado izq. a der, y no perpendicular a su cuerpo. rayos-x!!!!!

  • the brushes, for me, the best to play in something sophisticated in the battery ... stylish .... glamor ..... and inspiration ..

  • las escobillas, para mi, lo mejor para tocar algo sofisticado en la en bateria... con estilo.... glamour..... y con inspiracion..

  • Joe Morello - a living legend! I like the feel he conveys with those brushes.
