Louie Bellson (Remembered)

Uploaded by grousserr on Jun 12, 2009
Not much to say, other than enjoy this little snippet from Drummerworld, of a great man and a great drummer/writer, who recently passed! For those of you up and coming drummers who don't know, Louie was the pioneer of the double bass setup. NOTE - Any foul remarks or comparisons, will be deleted! Look for other clips of him, it will be worth your while. Miss-ya Louie!

A true gentlemen musican ............I had the luck of a photo taken with one of louies kits in the Zildjian factory 1997, I recon Louie will be swinging away up there with Gean and Buddy.

I live in the town right across the river from where Louie is from and got to play with him at his birthday celebrations they have for him a couple times. One of the greatest experiences of my life that I'll remember as long as I live. GREAT musician.

@mcguillicutty1234 He is playing a open double stroke roll, and splits each double between tom and snare.

The original pioneer of the double bass technique. I met Mr.Belson several times between 1978 and 1982. My fater introduced me to him the first time at Lake Buena Vista Fl. He was all talent and nothing but class!

Looks like the old style drum thrown (seat). Check old vids of the drum greats, you'll see the same type.

Very nice of you to post this. From one who knew him well for more than 30 years, your kind remarks about the life and legacy of this truly great man are much appreciated. His memory will forever remain in the hearts of all those whose lives he touched and inspired.

I had the privilege of meeting Louie numerous times during the 70's and 80's. He was the nicest person that I've met...ever. And the most musical drummer of them all. A true genius. RIP Louie!!!!

How fortunate you were to have met, and talked with him! He's resting fairly near to my home in Illinois, so we're gonna go and pay him our Sincere respects. What a guy huh, he'll be sorely missed!
