Now THAT'S a musical drum solo. dynamics, feel and suberbly arranged. Not just boring speed & chops.
I'm so sick of speed and chops and patterns 🤢🤢
Plenty of jazz drummers effed around with trying to play with a rock feel but Tony knocked it out of the park. He could play jazz and rock probably better and more tasteful
than anybody and died WAY too young!!!! Mitch Mitchell of the original Jimi Hendrix Experience also had a great feel for both but it is NOT a long list of drummers that had both!! Thanks for this fabulous video!!!
I love the drums
If the power goes out
You can still play your drums
There’s no electronics
That can go funny
On your drums
You can rely on your drums
They will support you
You only get out
What you put in
To your drums
one of the Greatest...
Rewrite that. The greatest. unless you can demonstrate otherwise.
Well… I can’t pick just one.
But he’s in my top 5 (in which there are 15 or so!)😊😜😎
@@yonickyg9719 😝if you have a top 5, then there must be a no.1. No?
@@lorrinacloss7644so hard to speak in absolutes.
TW rules No doubt!!!
Such an inspiration.
The Joy of Flying!
Tony was always composing. His solos are almost symphonic in the use of dynamics and volume. My all time favourite drummer. Chris Dave isnt far behind but he lacks Tonys all round musicality.
In the top 5 drummers ever!
You're kidding. Surely!!!? Name me just one above.
This Tony Williams solo is fascinating because I can hear Tony being influenced by Ginger Baker and I can hear Terry Bozzio being influenced by Tony Williams.
Colaiuta was definitely influenced
It goes like this: Alan Dawson (becomes Tony’s teacher) > jazz Tony > Ginger (influenced by Tony, Elvin & Roach) > rock Tony (influenced by cream etc) > Terry Bozzio
Love how he switches between trade and match grip. Although im not sure why he does it
Try both. Traditional Is great for rudiments and hand speed. Matched is great to get extra power. I change based on genre I play.
Brilliance 🤘🏻🫨
Dynamics
The best, ever! Whenever I see a top ten rock drummer list, I always laugh. Especially when Tony is never mentioned. He may have been classed as a jazz drummer. But, he could hit those drums harder and with more technique than any rock drummer that's ever been. Every drummer should aspire to be somewhere near Tony. Truly unbeaten, and never rivalled, so far. I don't care what anybody else thinks otherwise. They're just wrong!
i like how open you are to other view points.... lol its all just opinion. there is no best. cant be...its a shame he passed so young, as we know the best was yet to come...
@@yonickyg9719 no opinion necessary. Just a fact, if you know the intricacies of his playing.
What really makes me sick is the name Ginger Baker popping up all the time.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎵🎵🎵🎵
sounds like a river running away
Left handed?
I don't think so
No. He's a right handed player. Though he could do equal both hands.
Take Tony over Buddy Rich all day every day forever.
Over everybody that ever was. That's a fact, not just my opinion.
his drum tech must've been fired. Them drums moving all over the place..lol
That's just Tony's relentless power, the most dynamic drummer ever
That Gretsch tom mount was one of the worst back then, even though their drums were one of, if not the best. Rogers was really the only company with reasonably sturdy & adjustable hardware in 1972.
@@marcrogers1051That’s why you would see other gray drummers like Mitch Mitchell , John Boham and others with Rogers tom mounts and bass drum spurs on their Ludwig or Gretsch kits.
@@philipnestor5034 Keith Moon used them on his Premier kits as well.
@@casanovafrankenstein8538along with Elvin Jones! He also made these drums move hahaha
Billy Cobham's Fibes in the background.
yup. Elgar Chesbro's Space Ship for sure,
Still have my Fibes!
Wish they still made Fibes. I wonder if they'll make a comeback like Rogers and Slingerland.
@@colin6768 Fibes has been resurrected more than once since the heyday.
I thought that's who's drums that belong to now to me Billy Cobham was the best drummer of the seventies hands down nobody could touch him not even Tony Williams I'm just being honest and I like Tony Williams but he is no Billy Cobham that's for sure
