The kind of drum battle that leaves the stage smoking—absolute greatness. Elvin Jones vs. Art Blakey vs. Max Roach
@SVG__Collection 😮 those inert drums. Anyone could play anything on them! But then these three masters step up and each reveal such singular minds, through obsessively honed techniques. Thanks for finding this! But what is it from?
@SVG__Collection The old jazz drum battles were excellent. Grew up listening to an old album of a battle between Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich.
@SVG__Collection This is pure drumming genius. Three greats together. Wonder if #SteveWhite another drummer I admire has ever seen this.
@SVG__Collection My dad named me Elvin Jon. I took him to Elvin Jones last UK appearance at Ronnie Scott's Birmingham as my dad commenced his Parkinsons journey. X
@SVG__Collection Love it! There have been so many great drum battles over the years.
@SVG__Collection The ultimate drum showdown.
@SVG__Collection Where did this come from? Not knowing what each looks like, did they play in that order? Jones- Blakey- Roach. Fantastic!
@SVG__Collection I remember watching this! I think Blakey stood out to me
