The Slingerland days. Got to see Louie live many times and he never failed to dazzle and amaze. Swinging. Gifted. And genuinely one of the nicest guys to ever grace this earth. Have his actual Dynasonic snare which was meticulously restored. Cherish it.
Love this drummer, and a gentleman.
My high school physics teacher was a drummer in his day. He said he remembered when they released Duke Ellington's record with Louie's song, Skin Deep. The first drum solo recorded with two bass drums. My teacher told me that at the time, nobody knew there were two bass drums and guys were "almost breaking their ankles trying to play the bass drum that fast with one foot." I always thought that was funny. My drum instructor knew Louie pretty well, and always said he was the sweetest guy you'd ever meet.
Thanks for sharing that, Tony. I met Louie my senior year in high school at a Drumset competition. He choose me as the winner and I was able to perform with him that evening He was so nice and encouraging. Thanks!
Agree. One of the nicest humble guys. What a technician. Skin Deep his first classic.
Great analysis of Louie's playing. He was a great player with showmanship quality and a true gentleman. What makes your videos stand out is your enthusiasm and knowledge of the history behind these great players. Any serious drum player really needs to watch your videos. You're a real pro and we appreciate your efforts...thank you again!!
Not only a great player but his Modern Reading Text in 4/4 is a MUST read for every muso, no matter what you play.
I love louie' s playing style and musicality..."the musical drummer".
Perfect timing!!❤👌..thx
Yes absolutely!!
Never really watched mr bellson before. Wow wow wow definitely up there with buddy
He's my favorite drummer of all time. When I was a young lad learning drums, he frustrated and enchanted me constantly!
I always loved Louie's playing. To me, he was more musical and exciting than Rich.
@@billyjoeboomboom for BR you meant maybe ......
@@billyjoeboomboom 😁 funny ! there would be some true .....
I agree 100%
I agree
Dude rocked .
Paved the way for us all .
Louie was definitely one of the best drummers ever. He was a great instructor helping millions with his video series including myself. Great person indeed. Super commentary Garey and it's nice to see your enjoyment watching and relating your knowledge. You have a fine history here and are obviously a real talent yourself.
beautiful player Mr L Bellson👌
Much joy GAREY.wishing you the best.these video are go to must see.
Like you I also had the privilege to meet Louie. During High School, my drum teacher was Louie's brother Henry, who taught at a music store in the L.A. area owned by Mel Zelnick and Terry Gibbs. Louie gave more than one impromptu drum lesson to this undeserving drummer. I even got to meet his then-wife, the equally talented singer Pearl Bailey. Years later I met Louie at a drum seminar put on by a local music store and we got a chance to talk about drumming and about his brother. It was an honor knowing the man!
You are fortunate. He was such a big inspiration to me. Thanks for your comment :-)
I saw Louie and Billy Cobham 1973 with the Pepperdine college big band.. with four drummers also... I met him in 1972 and 1991.. a very nice classy guy.
Great stuff!
Keep em' coming Gary.
Great! I love seeing your joy at experiencing these fantastic drummers....thanks....
thnx for your drum vids,just discovered them.
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
my favorite old time drummer. so much class and temperaments.. my idol. nice Garey 👌
Great backstory .
Love your connection . Love your passion & joy in teaching - it translates well over this venue .
Also raised in the Big Band context (Stan Kenton with Peter Erskine et al) .
...From a fellow Washington stater (Skagit county) !
Just awesome !!!
Somehow I missed this video. Excellent analysis here as always. I really miss Bellson. Very influential on my own drumming. I met Buddy Rich and afterward wished I hadn't. Not a pleasant encounter. I saw Bellson in concert a few times but never met him. My loss. :-(
Great story too!
"Everything's Coming Up Roses"
Back in the early 90's he gave a drum clinic at Dynamic Percussion in Manchester Conn. I got there very early and the owner said..Ronnie, I have to get Louis at the airport..can you set up his kit? I said, "SURE" and was tickled pink. He designed some special sticks & mallets. I'm told he had 3 kits...1 for the East coast...1 for the West...and 1 in Chicago. The clinic was great & he's such a warm human being. His brother plays drums also.
Nicely done.
Garey...if you haven't checked out Louie playing with Oscar Peterson..you need to hear him, bassist John Heard and of course Mr. Peterson on the "Live in London" recording on Pablo Records. His playing on "Sweet Georgia Brown" is mind blowing.
even thomas lang "doublebass" today ... louie bellson " doublebass" is still the great one !
Count Basey once called Louie the best big band rummer alive. It wasn't well known, but he read, wrote and arranged music.
Bellson, Rich, Krupa, Morello. I wish I could go back in time for just a little while
I would like to see one on Elvin Jones, I’m not a drummer but there seems to be a lot of confusion about him. One guy will praise him and another thinks he’s horrible.
Elvin approach is abstract .
Its out of drumming
Its like modal register sometimes like Atonal saxophone and guitar etc... for atmosphere , out tempo thing
Raw stuff
But in other hand he was very clean and Articulate , melodic .
He is like another instrument instead of just drums .
Like piano , he interact with the phrasing of ochestra .
The first double bass lick is in fact a quad but with the ride hand only
I ripped off that
Nobody does in metal , especially of my generation
Im 26
One of his signature stuff is doing this with a hit hat on left hand on each stroke timing .
It looks something very cool executed and very Fast , and looks weird haha ..
Should've done his solo from classic solos volume 2. he's way more creative in that video .
Louie is one of my all time favourites , fact is that I prefer him before Buddy Rich

Hi Garey,
Live your enthusiasm and reactions. Please please check out clive bunker and Barrie Barlowe, they are drastically underrated
Barriemore is coming this week. Can you send me a link for Clive bunker please? Thanks!
@@DrumsetArtistry dharma for one, is the solo he's most famous for. The best version is on the album living in the past, but there's a pretty good version from the Isle of Wight festival.
'Dharma for one' part 2.
Im useless at sending links 🙈. Apologies 😂😂
Not much footage but how about a video of Robert Wyatt a pioneer in British rock...from a jazz influence.
Really appreciate ur videos reaction and professional analysis. I think u should consider reacting to Marcus Gilmore and Virgil Donati . ✌
Yes. Please send me some links. Thanks!

Louis was destined to remain in the shadow of Buddy though he seemed to be more refined, musical, and especially , humble.
Yes ! One of the greats ! Btw that one you reviewed of buddy rich last week was not his best solo .The one from 1970 is better .
LOVED Louie! I was fortunate enough to see him several times with his big band at Donte's Jazz Club which was literally about 350 feet from our house. Besides being enormously talented and masterful in his playing, he was a true gentleman and kindness, humility and grace just radiated from him. He was also a true musician who had a commanding understanding of music theory and not just drums. He composed and arranged hundreds of pieces. I got a chance to attend a three-day clinic he did with Billy Cobham back in the late 70's and he was a terrific and generous teacher as well. Lots of people mention more showy, egotistical soloists who are more famous. But Louie could do all the flashy, fast and showy stuff AND serve a song where some others just used the song as a vehicle to show off and step all over the piece in the process. Completely irreplaceable and original!
Louie, like Buddy Rich..........never seems to put a stick wrong............wb
Do you think ian paice was influence by Louie?
Probably.
Yes , Ian paice met him and mention it as well as his inspiration
Please check out Neil Peart and the buddy rich big band drum solo. I'd love to see ur reaction bc nobody has reacted to it on RUclips before and it makes me sad :(
@Stork Legs yea but those people are idiots he did a great job as Neil peart not buddy
@Stork Legs I just said he did a great job that's all
@Stork Legs Rush fan here since I was a kid (40 years). I really respect Neil but as I have watched more drummers over the years I realized he doesn't have swing or groove. But he has an incredible work ethic.
Please send me a link. Thanks!
@@DrumsetArtistry here u go! ruclips.net/video/T0gYHLkY4qA/видео.html
Drummers write the best swing music...
Thank you Garey for the great video and the wonderful story. Please consider doing a video breakdown of Yoyoka. She is a 10 year old drummer from Japan who has some impressive chops. Here is one from when she was 7. ruclips.net/video/YZ_wEW8tI9U/видео.html
Will do.
Maybe a Butch Miles one day
Please send me a link. Thanks!
nice video, you should react to jojo mayer
VC ESTÁ DEVENDO A ANÁLISE DE RUFUS SPEEDY JONES, O MAIS RÁPIDO DO MUNDO!
it would be useful if this alleged Maestro performed phrasing, exercises and feelings directly on the drums. not to tell but to explain technically and substantially.
wow.. looks like I just got deleted, for having a sense of humor..ok
Great video but you scare me with your pounding on your chest.
Tries to play Louie on his chest, idiot, stop doing that!
Louie had some skills and was a great guy. But every one of his solos sounded the same. And they were always too long.
