@NerfLad Thank you.

@lenniethedogsparty Search the cymbalholic forums. There's been much discussion on that ride there.

@martinlentini Wynton is great and all that, but some of the things that man says are fucking ridiculous...
-
So awesome.
-
@anthrax1218 lol, i was just thinking that

Tony was a freak! Love this guy!

@sonsoflegends After Miles, Tony got into Cream and Zeppelin. He got a 24" kick and played some very "Bonham-esque" grooves on the Holdsworth Lifetime records. Influence is abounds. Bonham was also influenced by Tony. Imagine that!

@SebCo77 I think it's a brush he has in his left hand, isn't it?

@Beatpoet19 Thanks.

3 months ago @Asymmatrix "elements of a rock drummer"? Your kidding right! Any of the drummer TW listened to or learned from was not a rock drummer is any sense of the word.

@sonsoflegends :
'In 1965, he had a great idea. "Miles," he said. "Why don't we open for the Beatles?" Miles said something like "What??!!" Williams had a Beatles poster on his wall.'

I read on a book from Wynton Marsalis: Jazz: how music can change your life...in some part he describes that Tony Williams`s dind`t have too much swing, and used these new techniques to compensate... I don´t know, he`s pretty amazing for the style. I insist... DOES ANYWONE KNOW WHAT RIDE IS HE USING?

@martinlentini TW could swing his ass off when he wanted to! Just check the slower tunes of these Miles clips. On faster tunes, he did often have an aggressive push that feels different from his predecessors.
Re: cymbal - on this tour he used rental equipment, not his own drums and cymbals. In the studio he used a medium 22" Istanbul K.Zildjian, in this clip it could be anything - whatever it is, it's too washy for his playing style! Also, check out the broken stick on the left. Wonder why.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
thats not what I have in my mind when I hear "up tempo".Basically thats slow.

Well then, call it medium-up. Quarter note 270 isn't slow, though.
For a faster tempo, watch the Walkin' clip from the same concert - the view on TW made me choose this clip. Btw, that Walkin' clip is around 320. Still not the fastest ever, but who cares? It's the energy that makes those clips extraordinary.
