  • What brand is the? I've been looking everywhere for that stack stand holding the crash over the china.. Can anyone help me? hardware

  • @charlessavarese That stand was sort of a homemade affair. It was the top part of an older stand with a skinny top rod (similar to a Ludwig 1400) holding the top cymbal and the china was held in place by a cowbell U clamp holding a washer and felt in place. I set these drums up and tore them down several times for Louie and that is the way that stand was rigged. You need a bottom section that will take a 5/8ths inch tube and then that holds the 3/8ths top rod that will fit through the cym. hole.

  • he's a jazz drummer? i can't imagine jazz with double bass....

  • @spudsmagicvideos

    Louie INVENTED the double bass drum set back in the 40's...so he I guess he earned the right to play it on whatever style of music he liked.

  • @KRO222 dude i'm sure he did and i'm sure he can, calm down man! i never said i had anything against him, jeez!

  • I'm not mad , just thought maybe you weren't aware of that fact. Lots of Jazz guys have used double bass drums...just not in the way that Lars and other guys do it nowadays.

  • Congrats for the pics...I met him a few times,late 70's...what a nice man he was ,to everyone I heard also.He an Buddy{who I saw 18-20 times also} really set the bar for excellence in the art of jazz drumming,Its a blessing to see these great artists even today.Should be a rule to anyone wanting to play drums...you need to see how it should be done .

  • @KRO222 Thanks. I may have to go to a machine shop with the parts and have it made. There are many stack stands on the market, but none the 16" that I need.

  • @KRO222 Ed Shaughnessy comes to mind also.

  • the inspiration to all metal kits around the world

  • @KRO222 i would like to see a vid someone is playing jazz double bass do you know one? =)

  • @spudsmagicvideos a lot of rock drumming techniques come from jazz because the advent of the drumset centered around jazz.... even the rimshot is a jazz technique.... double bass was used in jazz for when double strokes needed to be played on bass drum and also in soloing...

  • wow....who woulda thunk it. Here I am, a 15 year old boy, who loves jazz. I'm just glad that I didn't get drawn into liking Travis Barker. Louie Bellson was the greatest jazz drummer I've ever heard! Hey, BTW God, I'll trade you Lady Gaga and Justin Beiber for Louie back!

  • @KRO222 i dun think there were any other genre's pf music back then

  • They are definitely the best example We could have ever had.
