Amazing. Roy is 92 now and going strong. Love him on “Out of the afternoon” with Tommy Flanagan and Roland Kirk. I’m 70 so let’s hope lm still vigorous at 92.

Roy's still going strong and playing dates now at age 93. Not many people left who played with Bird!

I’ve been listening to Roy since I was a baby. My mother was playing his music and now I can’t live without it. Roy is beyond! It’s nothing like being in a front row seat at the Blue Note listening to Roy Haynes.

I've been playing drums for many years and my style is fairly different. How these types of jazz drummers decide when to follow the band and when to play against, it's fucking amazing. This guy is so good.

nobody plays like roy, he's totally unique. not a rudimental drummer at all.

The coolest drummer on the planet! So hip! He plays that flat-top ride and gets a very distinctive sound. I only got to see him live once but I will never forget it.

I too saw him one time only and greatness was on the docket.

Like a (jazz) rock star! Man, the guy plays better than most people who are more than half his age! Excellent performance.

I had the privilege of seeing him at Blue Note in NYC last November. Still an amazing player!

Great! What a legend!

What a master. He really knows how to coax the good sounds out of his cymbals.

Happy 91st Roy!!

This is some serious business.

Still one of the best!

awesome Roy Haynes!!

The thing about him, is that he makes something so intricate, and difficult, and he makes it sound so easy to do! Awesome solo. Definitely a different direction, unlike te other drum solos.

Roy Haynes should get a heck of a lot more time than 3 minutes on Letterman. The guy is a living legend but then again I guess we are lucky he got that these days. It's a shame as there should be some sort of movie made about Roy with all the people he has played with and being one of the greatest to ever play the drums.

I am a drummer and drumming instructor. How do you teach what Roy Haynes did here? The way he played with and also against the band! His magnificent feel and bounce. In his early years, Roy played mostly traditional grip, but like so many of the veterans, he switched over to matched grip. What a sensational drummer.

So looking forward to seeing him perform at the Birdland next week.

still love it!!

kudos to the late show! recently, john batiste featured him again...iconic with the drums

Yeah Roy Yeah!!!!

A living legend

Amazing! When late night t.v. took chances!!

"Summer Nights"…standard by Harry Warren I think (not sure). Great to hear from you Greg!

The eight note on the kick at 1:16 is the greatest thing ever!! 😊💪🏽

Happy Birthday Roy Haynes born on March 13, 1925. He is an American jazz drummer. He is among the most recorded drummers in jazz. In a career lasting over 75 years, he is considered a father of modern jazz drumming. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Haynes

those triplets at @2:24....are Roy giving Father Time the middle finger

Genios! Excelente!!!!

THE LEGEND .....

Genius

🙌🏾🙌🏾

The One

@ Mr. Bejerano, you said : ""Summer Nights"…standard by Harry Warren I think (not sure)" I`m sure, it IS "Summer Night" ! (..without "s"..) Lettermann mentioned your next Album "Roy-Alty" (2011). "Summer Night" is not on Roy-Alty. Milestones is on Roy-Alty, but above it`s not Milestones. But "Summer Night" is also performend by Keith Jarrett Trio, Miles Davis, Flora Purim, Shelly Manne, Chick Corea, .. a.s.o. .., ..so, M. Bejerano, you are definetly in best company !!

2:39 - 2:43. holy shit!

It's like Letterman doesn't even know who he's talking about

it's Kenny Aronoff!!

Can't remember the name of this song, but isn't it by Miles Davis, Martin?

I think it's an original that sounds similar to another tune...

Nice drums! Are they yours?

Not too bad for being almost 90 at the time

It's so weird to see the drummer in the front.

Stole those sunglasses from a trumpet player...

Such unnatural technique! Holding the sticks by their ends... Can any drummers tell me if he was self-taught? So elegantly in-the-pocket though.

Roy was self taught.

That’s not the point so. It’s all a conscious decision of feel and sound. Including how he holds his sticks. And he got formal training from James ‘Reese’ Europe’s Band. That is some old school drumming.

It's called "Matched Grip" and it's fairly common

Nearly as good as Charlie watts
