Wow, I liken this video to God explaining, an then showing how the Sun, Earth, Moon, and the stars were created, this man was a drummer extraordinaire, there are/were not many who have been better, if at all, R.I.P. Elvin Jones (1927 - 2004)...

A rare moment of magic caught on camera!

not complicated?? excuse me? like trying to count rain drops hiiting the windscreen! sounds totally cool, but yeah - way beyond my four beat with shmuck rolls :)

Look up the definition of cool in the dictionary and you'll see a picture of Elvin Jones. The coolest mofo to walk the earth.

this music makes him live! :)

And there are guys who think John Bonham was original, despite doing nothing but playing stuff those legends palyefd 10 years before.
Ringo Starr, THAT'S a talented rock drummer, doing what nobody else did.
creating fills so weird in their perfection that nobody else would ever come up with them.

As far as Elvin versus Buddy....well I read a story somewhere about this.......Louie Bellson and Buddy both going to see Elvin play with Coltrane......these guys all admired each other equally......I think this whole "who is the best" thing is silly in music...maybe in sports......where there is a winner and a loser.....personally I don't think music works that way......there is room for everyone.......Elvin, Buddy.....both amazing drummers...both totally different. I saw Elvin in Boston a lot.

@herrickwappler I love both Elvin's and Buddy's playing, and I prefer Elvin's playing to Buddy's. However, even if I didn't like Elvin's playing, I sure as hell wouldn't rip on him because of that, so don't go ripping on Buddy just because some fool is too ignorant to recognize Elvin's great playing while praising Buddy's. Elvin and Buddy have both played with countless great jazz musicians, and neither Elvin nor Buddy would have been doing that if they didn't have exceptional skills.
