@dtegg91 Interesting comment. Solo drums are rarely nice to hear anyway. Drummers become self indulgent quickly. Exceptions are Chico Hamilton's "The 3 faces of Chico" and a few others like Max Roach's "Drums also waltz" or Joe Morello's "Far more drums".

Phew! What a work out. All three of these cats are phenomenal!!!! I see this as three generations in the evolution of this music; bop, post bop/modern and post modern/free. Happily for me, I like all three.
-
Pure excellence from all three, love it.
-
I enjoy all three styles, none a favorite over the other.

BLAST BEAT!!!!!
These guys were at the frontier of modern drumming. If anyone showed up on the scene today playing like Art Blakey, they'd probably get criticized that they have no dynamics and no groove, or that there are "too many fills."
It's sad to say, but drummers are beginning to lose the "feeling" of drums, and it's being replaced by this technical garbage.
This instrument is about feel, not about how fast you can playing your inverse swiss army triplets.
