Wow.....he lives on my heart...I have been playing for so long and I checked the Rich, Krupas...etc.
Sonny and Papa Jo are my favorites at this phase of life....certain joy in their faces...vibe....can't just hear, you see it in there face....so wonderful to see this....it's not cocky either...like babies!
God bless em both!

One of the best big band drummers of all time. His dad was great too.

Rich "overrated"? Sorry, not by a long shot.
(We haven't yet been given enough adjectives in our language to do that.)

i,m getting tired and to the point insulted of this word OLD SCHOOL this the class and art of drumming "period" and being teaching and still teaching all over the world in any music school
-
that man is so cool! i want to play drums like him!
-
@rrdrums110 AMEN thats the point !
-
i agree with you, except that that air has nothing to do with grip.
-
@lordritchie haha i hope you are kidding

@Bonzotriplets1 Bonzo wasn't even in the same league as this cat. Sonny was the MAN

That bass drum is the tits.
This is definitely another old school cat that knew how to play. So many so called hot new young drummers can't even breathe the same air. They won't go yhrough the pain of the traditional grip and lose out on all the extra technique this grip offers + speed. Not to mention the creativity

I have seen this band, with Sonny Payne in 1956, I was only 20 at that time, what a night in Sweden with Basie Band Live!
Never forget it!
Thank´s for sharing my memories!
