Re: Recognition
Agility grows with the amount of demand playing from a long duration. One great example is the long version of The Experience playing Voo-Doo Chile (The Long Version). Which is more of a jam session.
Style of drumming being able to mix rock & jazz, for example, with different tempo and still keep the timing in place. Latin Jazz is a great example of this style. "Larry Harlow" for example. He was know as El Judio Maravilloso (The Marvelous Jew from Puerto Rico.
All this goes back from the "King Biscuit Flower Hour" to Louie Bellson and Jim Chapin. It's like Gen Krupa combined with Mitch Mitchell. One could do long solo's but the other one played better jazz. I almost forgot about Charlie Parker who orchestrated lost of the old swing and jazz bands.
Breaking all the rules of drumming to get it done and get it done so it sounds right. Not just playing combination's of rudiments. |
