I remember seeing him for the one time and thought that he looked like he was skiing through his solos - like Jean-Claude Killy on some Giant Slalom course. His feet and hands were so nimble. Another time I saw him, he did this fill. So surprising and powerful, as if some mini explosion/possesion came out of him. People gasped. Even he was surprised. Enough that he paused playing for a moment and said, "Damn!"
Amazing! Roy is my favorite drummer of all time... not Buddy, not Neil, Not Lars, not Herb, not all these other amazing drummers that I love to listen to, but Roy. Roy is the MAN!
I love "Legends of Jazz Drumming." I don't know how to upload vids from vcr tapes though. If i could, I would. Like the Joe Morello Take Five solo. If you can, please upload it. Thank you So Much For posting this!!!!!!
(living) proof that you don't necessarily need rudiments up the wazoo to be musical. Maybe if I keep playing for another twenty years I'll get that good, lol
every time i heard haynes i heard what is a superior mind on the rhythm; not gym, not circus!! JUST MUSIC
Still amazing today at 82 Years Old
this solo will remain forever in history of drums
Outstanding...that's the real deal...go Mr. Haynes....
