  • Drums are easy to learn, but they're deffiantly one of the hardest instruments to learn correctly and distinguish yourself from other drummers. I can't count how many kids I've seen all play the same bonham lick over and over, and they aren't bad drummers, their minds are just to narrow. Once you learn how to make the drums a form of expression you start playing them, not just hitting them. This is what jazz drummers do so well. Jazz expands the mind.

  • what i love about jazz and music all together is that u can tell what kind of man they are when they solo. u can tell that Elvin is all about being free and he has no interest in being fake, he plays what is true to him. Roach is the kind of man that wants to make a point. He will elaborate beautifully, but he his always laying down his point (snare snare bass bass snare bass bass) and Blakey is like the old guy telling war stories but about music, his plot and storyline will make you cry

  • Man, Max Roach had the coolest stare. His eyes were just burning through the other guys.

  • Gospel chops back in the day.

  • Wow, at 3:20, Art blakey rocks!!!! That's so amazing!

  • @adamdeawesome1 It's not what he said, he said that all the young drummers are doing the same Bonham-like tricks. I mean Bonham was one of the greatest rock drummers of all time (if not the greatest) but not everyone is able to make a drumkit sound like he did. So don't try to copy and find your very own style, you wille never be Bonham or Elvin Jones or whoever but if you work hard and find your style and your way to play you'll become a good drummer.

  • by saying drummers are narrow minded because they enjoy John Bonham is being narrow minded. I am only 15 and I enjoy every form of drums except heavy metal

  • @hithatrollz you are totally right but are you saying that John Bonham is a bad drummer??

    cuz if you are saying it you are stupid!

  • @hithatrollz man you have the best way of explaining drums i'm gonna use this if it's k when my friend the guitarist says that drums arent an instrument

  • Mom!! hit the tv!!! or fix the damn rabbit ears!!!

  • the most talented drummer at this drum battle is by far no questions is elvin. who had the least impressive solo. Elvin. but what makes elvin so fucking amazing is not his soloing but his playing. on all the records i have with him on drums he rarely takes solos and he's still my favorite drummer from listening to how complex and amazing his swing beat is. blakey and roach and no questions asked masters but sometimes being a good soloer can be over rated

  • @knowgeddy QFT.
