      Speed, dynamics and volume control. Papa Jo could draw you in, like he was whispering a secret to you. He always leaves me wanting more.
      I would much rather watch a master like him, Joe Morello or Gene Krupa, than a drummer who just attacks, like Buddy Rich.

      @chipstern1 Месяц назад

      Bought my first kit at Frank's in 1975. Slingerland kit with Paiste cymbals. Only had $400 cash on me. They trusted ne for the remaining $100. The hi-hats, coincidentally, were Paiste Formula 602 Sound Edge hats, which I still use to this day. Hanging out with Jo at his crib on East 64th street, I got to check out his hats, which were old A. Zildjians, a thin 13" Top and a Paperthin bottom, maybe 12-3/4", anyway, slightly smaller than the top cymbal. Felt blessed that my first hi-hats, also fairly light, were very much in a Jo Jones mode...Jo used to say, "I was never a player, I was always a listener, and look who I got to listen to." As such, my limitations being manifest, I always aspired to be a good listener on the drum kit.

    @jonwalter6317 6 месяцев назад +6

    Amazing. Papa had extreme skills, but what a demonstration of not needing to cram as many notes as possible into each measure. Quality, not quantity. And with only a single cymbal and hi-hat. Can't imagine that Papa would ever lower himself to getting a reaction from an audience by playing a double pedal bass drum roll.
