Every drummer has his/her own style/ flavour, saying any is better than the other is like saying music is not about expression of the soul or feel. Buddy couldn't make the drums sing like krupa could, krupa couldn't thrash out what buddy did. Just like red doesn't look like green or apples do not taste like strawberries. each have their very own special qualities.

this man is or was, the definition, with the peers prior like Rich and Krupa, of precision. Just the tip of the ice-burg... as percussion, JoJo , can't forget him... but he's later.

An incredible drummer, who i very nearly met in 82/83 when he was in the uk on tour with Oscar Peterson and Pearl Bailey, he visited a relation to his tour manager in OUR VILLAGE, i was at my GRANDMOTHERS could'nt beleive it, however he left me some sticks and a Slingerland practice pad which i still use today, a truly exceptional musician.........

Drummers back then knew that a drum solo must be treated as a work of art and that it must include the visual experience (if it's filmed). Drummers now are just a bunch of constipated fast-kicking robots! With some exceptions, of course.

Awesome solo by Louie. I love that he pulled out the brushes.

Louis kicking some VERY major ass here on this one.
Splendid ~
does the drum to his left have a pedal to adjust the pitch?
i like the way he spins the roto toms to get a higher pitch...
his snare work and cymbal use is awesome..
i will definately try to incorporate more of this style in my solos
amazing

Yes,it has a pedal.These drums were made by Remo& called Roto Toms, & Louie featured them alot when they were being promoted by Remo.One great example is an Album which features him playing on a complete set of Roto Toms .The Album title is Louie Bellson's 7 from 1976 Check it out.
