    The fact that, without keeping a pulse with his left foot, he played such complex subdivisions (almost seeming random and completely off beat) while still coming in EXACTLY on beat one astonishes me. And don't even get me started on his dynamics! Truly the best drum solo I've ever seen.

      "how they all came back in at the same time". Certainly, plus the fact that the solo sounds (to me at least) as if it's done away with the song's rhythm and going its own way... However, if you click your fingers along from the beginning (hi-hat is the cue) then you come to realise that the song's rhythm is there all along. So not only they come back at the same time, but back to the song's rhythm. Frankly, as a drummer, if I were able to depart from a rhythm WITHOUT truly breaking that rhythm I would WOW myself as well, and not just once, hahaha.

      @@ThisReckless Because it's not about the notes he hits as much as the notes he doesn't hit - he uses silence as part of the drum solo - and if you count that, he's playing 32nd notes in terms of how it feels as a rhythm. It gets better and better the more you feel it out, it seems like only a meme at first but it's truly a genius drummer at work. Listen to Hussain play Tabla to get a better feel of what I'm talking about. 32nds don't fit into most contemporary western music but Indian music has used it for a long time. When you feel it, you feel it. Most drummers are incapable of feeling out 32nd's that I've listened to. That's why it has a mysterious quality to it, he's accenting the 16th notes slightly off-time but it fits perfectly into the 32nds. Most drummers are just off-time and play sloppy 16ths, this is very clean 32nd's to me using mostly 16th and 8th notes. That's the best way I could describe it. I would also describe it as a polyrhythm using silence. He's so deep in the pocket that you lose him unless you can feel it out. Indian Solfege is VERY useful for this.

    I understand the meme but when we think of Mingus’ sound. Richmond was a huge part of it.

    Holy zilch! Don’t know who he is--he looks crazy--he’s a drum killer--and I love it!!! Thanks!

    Meaningful, short and to the point. What every drum solo should be.

    Hell yeahhhh! Mingus on bass, then Dannie Richmond on drums followed by Eric Dolphy on sax is some of the greatest jazz ever.

      It’s completely in time, just very syncopated, and generally jazz musicians are very good at reading each other’s solos.

    sad thing is that the uploader probably meant the title as an ironic joke at the man's expense. This solo didn't blow me away, it is seriously impressive. The drag between the down beats is un real. Never skips a beat, and waits to the absolute last second before he would get off time. This video should be renamed The Best Drag Solo Ever. It is insane how nimble and precise this man is.

    Other guy: How much dynamics are you gonna use in this solo?
    This guy: I paid for the whole dinamic range, therefore I must use the whole dinamic range.

    Bass: nice
    Drums: like a piece of sh*t
    Sax: playing in a hurry
    Piano: inaudible
    The best band I've heard 😍💓

    As the story goes, several women in the audience experienced spontaneous ovulation as a result of that solo.

    This kind of solo is a lost art. You give just a piece of what you can do. This is a braggadocios display of timekeeping and technical skill
