Thanks a lot! Will check it out! Out of curiosity, you mentioned Tony Williams being in your top 6. Would you please be kind enough to share who the other 5 are? Thank you!
+Aditya Tyagi To answer your question, my top 6 drum influences are: Tony Williams, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Roy Haynes, Philly Joe Jones, and Buddy Rich. Then Max Roach, Jimmy Cobb and Bernard Purdie.
***** So glad you rediscovered the music I created with Weather Report. It never hurts to have another listen or two after many years, you never know what you'll discover. Enjoy!! www.tenaciousrecords.com/Purchase_Music.html
Wowza!..& with Mt. Fuji in the background? this an argument for having at least a part of a far away vacation (from the USA here) structured with a tour plan..just, amazing...& i love how universal a language music is. :-)
Tony Williams really doesn't need any comparison with Bonhams or Riches. So bored that these two guys always pop up. Ok, they were good, but there has been lots of great drummers before and since. And Mr Williams is a giant by his own skills.
Very true. Tony doesn't really compare well with either of them. Unlike Bonham, e its fundamentally a jazz drummer, and everything he plays comes from that world of Max, and Art and Philly Joe that he grew up around (and all the other wonderful drummers of that tradition, MANY of them. Bonham is an English Rock club drummer. A very different world. And Buddy Rich's is also from a completely different background from Tony's: the world of the stage show and the first generation of great big bands, influenced by Jo Jones and Chick Webb and the showbnd drummers who developed a lot of stick technique. All three were wonderful drummers who made their own worlds, beautifully imaginative drummers and dedicated musicians, but they don't compare well to each other in any interesting way.
John Bonham was really made great because of FM radio. There were plenty of cats out there that played far better at that time, they just never made it to FM radio.
I dunno watchign this solo...my mans was blast beating, heavy. I don't know he couldn't put down anything bonham could, maybe even better. Though could bonham match the dynamics of tony, I dunno I almost doubt it. Really it's all taste people are talking when they say their fav...rarely are they objectively looking at the "greatest of all time" and that might continue to grow the same as time does. There are wild dudes now a days but they all listened to someone. cheers
fuckin hate those directors, that have the cameraman shooting the drummers face' makes no sense!..so many great musicians were shot so poorly over the yrs... a great drummer like tony...go figure....
That'd so true !! And that's one of the reason that buddy rich left hand technique was a big mystery for a long time !! Even we know the technique now we still want to watch him playing !! There is some legends that i can listen to them playing all day !! But i can't see what his really doing around the drum set and it pisses me offfff
yeah' that shit drives me crazy man!..happens all the time, in so many concerts...ya'd think, these ppl would know how to shoot great musicians by now!..funny thing, when we do hit on a good vid' we're almost in shack, they didn't screw it up!!
ManelFogo Maybe but probably not. Double time and back beat and it’s a thrash beat, double time a thrash beat and it’s a blast beat! That’s how it came about according to Pete Sandoval, who really defined the blast beat and perfected it.
Wonder why he decided to use controlled sound heads for jazz and a 5 piece almost like he wanted to play rock but his dad told him rock is for the musicians who give up on jazz
I doubt Tony would call himself a jazz drummer. He developed a style that could cross into any genre- jazz, fusion, rock, even metal. A force of nature. I think the control sounds were more durable, but more importantly they had a certain characteristic that Tony liked. They have the resonance of a single ply head but a solid stick attack. Haven’t heard drums like Tony’s before.

Ah, how can you NOT like Tony Williams??? One of the GREATS!!!
Man, I miss Tony Williams, who was and still is one of my top 6 drum heroes. RIP Tony
+Alphonse Mouzon You're pretty impressive yourself sir!
Thank you so much Aditya. www.tenaciousrecords.com/Purchase_Music.html

My old teacher taught my a few tricks from this solo. Thank you Mr. Williams. ❤️
I always love the way Tony played
It makes me feel wonderful ✨️
Tony Williams kinda thicc
I heard Tony Williams when he was in "Lifetime" in a small club in Hollywood. I was sitting about 10 feet away. I could not believe his speed.
Superband Hancock, Hubbard, Williams, Henderson, Carter!
With all that sweat, he earned his pay that day. 😊❤
Tony, I miss you.... RIP
Tony is the best ever
They make it look so effortless
that footwork....
Greatness. He always had great sounding kits too.
He had a unique thing with the Remo control sound heads on top and bottom.Also the large 2B drumsticks....
Tony's just remarkable man...damn he could swing
the younger death/speed metal drummers should watch these guys. They could learn a thing or 2. He was great.
Look up Gar Samuelson and Chris Poland. Jazz players recruited into Megadeth in the 80’s. Interesting transition.
You should check out Sean Reinert, fusion jazz drummer gone death metal!
creativity at the speed of thought!
His Gretch!!! Sands so Great!!!
he sat so high up! and those black dots are unusual for as jazz cat!
MAGNIFICAL MAGICIAN DRUMS
big fan of Tony
MAGNIFICAL
Wowza!..& with Mt. Fuji in the background? this an argument for having at least a part of a far away vacation (from the USA here) structured with a tour plan..just, amazing...& i love how universal a language music is. :-)
Wow, he played blast beats before they were cool :p
He would've been great at metal, no doubt.
you have no idea........
Blast beats are cool?
tony williams kind of invented blast beats.
Allan Dawson (Tony 's teacher at Berclee School of Boston) say to me : TONY IS MAGNIFICAL !
Damn, Tony had a heavy foot! Miss him.
Herbie's "Eye of the Hurricane"
those K's sound so special!!!
Special K's!
LOL
Black hoops look cool on the drum kit.
I didn't even know they made hoops in any other finish than chrome back then! Crazy!
Impressive ❤
Wow! super;
❤️❤️❤️
Indeed magnificent!
#OdedFriedGaon #OdedMusic
Me Gusta !
😍😍😍😍😍
you know a drummer is good when they leave their mouth open during a solo xD
meaning they're relaxed?
Or awful lol
Anyways, joke aside, this solo is sick. I really liked his stuff with Allan Holdsworth.
good
He was the Bonham of jazz.
whatever
and buddy rich the father of both
Claudio Coloma Who gives a fuck dude? Buddy Rich was not the best, there is no best drummer, period.
bollocks,he was his own man..and musician for that matter,Miles Davis was so fond of him,and rightly so, 'cause he was truly special.
just like Maradonna is the Bjørn Borg of football...
I bet Tony used to sweat even when tying his shoelaces

Bill Burr
Song name please?
I fucking know this song what is it called?
what is this tune called?
+My grand piano Pretty sure it's Eye of the Hurricane, 2nd track from Herbie Hancock's album, "Maiden Voyage".
Wow, where is this, Japan?
Ferdinand Wang yes
This live broadcasting is "Mt. FUJI JAZZ FESTIVAL"
Ah, okay, thank you. Arigato!

he tried to play "blast beats" at 2:00 XD
they say blast beat was inspired by one of tonys patterns!

High On Summer I'm sure he went through single ply heads too often. He was a very poweful drummer

Because it gave a solid boxed sound . Open up .Top N bottom
That is not Tony Williams. Tony is a drummer, not a pianist.
I never understood the fascination with him.
Most so called Drumboys do Not understand Musical structure nor Drumming .Fact.
@@dynasticlight1073 Tony just doesn’t impress me. Bottom line: if it doesn’t sound good, who cares about a “blushda” ?
