  • Good job chipstern...yo are right on! Max turned the drum set into an instrument that does not need to only keep beat...he creates his own melodies...hell, his own symphonies! ediot6969 is on the money also...the dude under him is f*ckin stupid!

  • The dude under me. Ur fucking stupid.

  • I never enjoyed Roach as a soloist. His playing here is sloppy, frenetic and musically disjointed. If you listen to most of his solos (apart from playing with Clifford Brown) his tempos and groove is patently the same. Listen to a true Master...Jo Jones.

  • I agree with chipstern. Max was a true master.

  • Boy oh boy, talk about casting pearls before swine.

    Max Roach is the king of drummers, and this is NOT A SOLO: it is a COMPOSITION, with themes and motifs, textural and melodic shifts, dynamic variations.

    Too long, at four plus minutes? What is this, the attention defecit disorder club? Not CLEAN enough? How about the intellectual dimension, treating the drum set not as an excuse for a virtuosos floor routines but as a MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.

  • @Ihy744ppp "For Big Sid" IS better I think, but this is good to me, too. But I LOVE Big Sid!

  • @ZackPomerleau I like For Big Sid though:-)

  • Respond to this video...  Drum drops?

  • @Ihy744ppp Well, luckily there is PLENTY of music with him NOT alone :)

  • @ZackPomerleau I do understand, that's the problem, maybe if the solo's where shorter, more basic plus with a band, I don't know..
