Não aparece nos créditos, mas nas fotos está também o Olavo na guitarra

Thank you so much for posting this...i only wish I'd seen this in music school, this is like browsing through the most awesome drumming library ever, I love it! Again, thank you!

This put a big smile on my face

smooth nice light touch that thigpen has ...all were / are great , would love to see the styles these guys had come back for a while ... oh well as they say ... Those Were The Days My Friends !

two words come to mind ... THE BEST ! ................ nothing else to say

Awesome

Blakey is like 2 good drummers going at once ... Love Heaths melodic phrasing

Nice job Rui Azul !!

I think it's funny to see people snob it up over music and in particular musicians. Whenever I see them together, especially from different generations, they almost always appreciate each others talent and work. Even across genres, great rock musicians like country music, country guys like big band, but UA-cam commenters all seem to know better, and get a kick out of bashing guys (and gals) whose talent they could never hope to match.

and .... the world was already modern!!!

Thanks to the vidio gods. I love watching the oldmasters. The inspiration I get is priceless. And my kindred spirit. Highly honored at the House of Spirits. Our Prayer Temple; "Chick Web". And he is my hero. His pain is now as much as mine. Honors my Brother. See you soon. But I ain't ready! I still got lots of Drumming to do.

Sid Catlett--Holy Smokes!

Muito bom! Só é pena não se encontrar em lado nenhum o lado B - Colar de Imitação, que não se fica atrás deste tema.

Beat your drums, not your wives

Thnx. I really enjoyed.

Este Baixo está demais, quem é o Eduardo Silva? Nunca ouvi falar dele...

I'm glad this is called great drummers. I never buy into this greatest propaganda. Sure it's cool to have a preference but they're all great and each brings on a unique style. Great post.

awesome! thanks for sharing

I love Louie bellson

The source ! thank you ! ! !

Rich, klook and Hayes are best here!

Have you noticed that the very best drummers seem to jazz musicians not country western...

It's not simply the posting, but all the work envolved in the searching, download it, editing, mounting the video.slided shows, inserting the drummers names, and back then there was a 10 minute limitation, and, I'm a saxophone player, my friends... Well, I 've allways loved rhythm, and had a special bond with my drummers, so... But the guys that disliked pherhaps don't even realize the effort and commitment that is necessary to do a work like these video collection... It's so much easier to click a "baaahhh", I dislike the video 'cause it has not Billy Cobham in it !!! Well, Cobham doesn't appear because I don't like his drumming... But I don't go on clicking 'dislikes' on his videos, understand?? So, be happy, and constructive fellows, please...

These guys had no antetypes, no tradition, they INVENTED drum set playing, they were the beginning of all that, what makes them even greater.

Thanks...

So many great drummers. So humbling to watch these people. Thanks for assembling this footage. There were some included here that I've never seen before and was absolutely floored! Great job. I hope you can finish this series.

Everyone here is amazing. Papa Jo has an extra "snap" that's hard to define. Amazing work.

Amazing job on this Thank you for putting in the time and effort for jazz lovers to enjoy this There is footage of Harold Land now ua-cam.com/video/GZ4MTjBOe5M/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/4J6c0g2CyzM/v-deo.html

listen to these brothers they got that pocket always that African thing just swings right through, i mean the brothers always the best drummers, buddy rich, gene kruper, bohanan nice but not as versatile as the brothers

Blakey rules

I really 'love' the 15 guys that gave this compilation a "down finger", and I was thinkin' that probably they prefer: a) Rock, Hard-rock or Heavy Metal drummers, and, for those, I just remember that: Charlie Watts - Rolling Stones - had a Jazz Big Band ; Ginger Baker - The Cream - had a very Jazz oriented band, "Ginger Baker's Airforce"; A drummer from a very Hard band - Mettalica, Aerosmith, Uriah Heep, Def Leppard, or some other group in that kind of musical aesthetics (please note that I'm not making any kind of criticism or judgement of value), declared in a TV interview that « I'm only playing this kind of music because it pays far better that the Music I love, JAZZ» - It's a fact that most drummers of any kind of Music agree that the better and more creative percussionists and drummers are the Jazz ones - and that analysis also extends to almost other instrumentists ... b) Fusion, Rock Jazz, Crossover and similar drummers - I remember that there´s also very good or even exellent drummers, there, like (à la batterie : Tony 'Williames' - il est trés jeune, il a seulement dix-sept ans ... [ in: 'Miles Davis in Paris' ] ); Peter Erskine and any other Weather Report drummer; Billy Cobham; and so on.. - I just didn't make any other episodes of 'Greatest Drummers' because I'm busy recording my third CD and drawing my new Comics album ... and ... sorry for that matter! c) that I'd never put a hand on UA-cam... d) that I'll would never existed at all... e) that they had cliked in the ok finger, or 'up finger' (no, not that finger you're thinkin about !!), instead otherwise... f) always cliking in the down finger or saying "Booooo!" to anything that any other guy does, just because, YES, just because THEY ARE NEGATIVE GUYS !! Try to be happy, at least, ok??

When drummers state that "John Bonham was the greatest drummer ever", I laugh, and say, "Papa Jo Jones, my friends...Papa Jo Jones."

No one here , worrying about double bass drum pedal speed, like these days.

Great share, my friend‼️ Appreciate this so very, very much‼️ Cheers‼️ Sam :-)

One of my music teachers nicknamed me Cozy Cole whenever he saw me practising :)

Most just used a basic 4 piece kit and sounded great. It shows you don't need the big ,massive kits a lot of drummers use today. Great to see the old kits and brands.

Does anyone know where the first video with a bunch of drummers is from? I remember seeing it several years ago on daily motion but it was much longer and in colour. I believe it was either a short film or a scene from a movie. I remember the scene was a sort of prison for drummers or something like that. I've been searching for it for a couple of years, the short clip from this video is all I could find. If anyone knows where or what this video is I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

No Billy Cobham?

I'd like to see more of the opening clip. It would be great to see that show.

É deveras impressionante a semelhança que eu noto nas expressões faciais e corporais de SONNY PAYNE, aos 6':26''; 6':28''; 6':33'' e 6':41/42'', com as que o baterista português PEDRO TAVEIRA (infelizmente já falecido - mas é possível pesquisar e visualizá-lo no UA-cam) fazia, nos mesmos tipos de BREAKS e PARADIDLES seguidos de 'pratada' no 'ride', seguidamente agarrado com a mão (ou com a baqueta posta pela face inferior do cymbal, a empurrá-o para cima) para que parasse de (res)soar prolongadamente... Era uma festa para os sentidos 'ouvê-lo a tocar...

THANK YOU SO SO SOOOOOO MUCH FOR ACTUALLY POSTING A VIDEO ON THE GREATS NOT KEITH MOON AND JOHN BONHAM ECT!!!

All the great drummers used, or are using, the traditional grip, I detest seeing the match grip being used, to me it is a sloppy, easy way of playing drums and the so called drummers who teach it should be ashamed to take their pupils' money. By the way I was fortunate to see, many years ago Sonny Payne in the Harry James orchestra, lovely memories.

Some great footage here I've never seen before :-)

I have concentrated on fiddle for the last 40 years after starting in music as a drummer. This is wonderful...thanks!!

Note the musicality of these players; non of them playing at a 1,000,000,000 MPH either ....

GREAT stuff!!!
