That melody is sweet

Legend, what I would give to had met him, introduced myself and shake his hand.

Just watch Blakey muting the cymbal with his left hand at 1:24. You could see his sensitivity on playing the drums or, just music.

I can see why Bill Bruford is a fan of this guy, hes got some serious chops!

sounds like dogshit combined with catpiss.

Incomparable. He was not only a genius on the drums, but a mentor to so many talented players. The Messengers were a jazz University of the highest calibre. I was fortunate to hear him live many times. Never disappoints. Roll on Arthur, roll on.

"Son, don't try and read all the music; take some and leave some. And when you get in trouble...ROLL!" -Chick Webb to Art Blakey
To me Art Blakey's buzz roll is the best. Its just a solid wall of sound that creates a vacuum in your brain and melts your endocrine system.

warning, extreme exposure to Art Blakey's buzz roll might cause the following symptoms: loss of hearing capability (Blakey's fans know about this), lack of bone marrow, extreme feeling of being a sucky drummer, loss of the ability to listen to non-jazz messengers jazz, extreme euphoria, spandex-phobia, changes in drumming style to hope to achieve a perfect buzz roll, a non-ceasant buzz ring in your ears, lack of the ability to listen to shitty music, jazz adiction, inscrutable feeling of joy...
