This is fantastic, I never knew Bellson ever played with Duke.

I believe the title of this tune is "Skin Deep". The drum heads in those days were calf skin, and as a drummer, I can tell you they were a pain, humidity killed them, and they split all too often!

Great clip! If you've got any more just post them!

and I always find it fascinating to listen to those big, double-headed, wide-open 24" bass drums. You can really hear them around the minute mark. This is the Bonham sound. This is what totally Bonzo was aiming for. Drums are good.

You mean, of course, that Technical Death Metal is on a level with this.
What's the title of this number?
Duke & The Orchestra was the greatest.
