WOW, never heard of this man, excellent time keeping with the left foot and superb musicality with feel for latin rhythms. Fantastic

Rudy was a tremendous drummer with a lot of power and very good technique. To me, he was like a blending of Max Roach and Art Blakey. He was a student of a good friend of mine, Sam Ulano. Yes, his Rogers sound fantastic here. I think that Buddy Rich was also playing Rogers at the time, and Louie Bellson would be playing them soon thereafter as well. Very hip solo by an excellent drummer.

I mean he reminded me a bit of gene Krupa

I had never heard of him before now and he’s an instant favorite! That’s also the classiest drum kit I’ve ever seen.

I was thinking the same thing. This cat was (is?) good and those vintage Rogers drums in that finish are incredible!

Classy. Beautiful kit too. Power and finesse. Those cymbals sound real splashy.

You can walk cool, talk cool, dress cool, act cool… But you’ll never be as cool as Dizzy!!

Those Rogers sound pretty great! And the drummer wasn't too bad either 😉

magic!

Totally groovy 👉🏼🥁🤎

That was awesome

In the late 60's. I studied with him at Rhythm Associates. Also on staff was Freddie Waits, Joe Chambers and Warren Smith. Rudy would sometimes give me a ride to NJ near my house. Great times.

This footage is a real gem. Thanks! ❤

love it!!

The triplets are mind blowing!

At the time "Roger's drums were the most sought after drums because of their pure sound😊

They were a hardware company like Camco. Rogers did not make shells like Ludwig and Slingerland. Rogers used Jasper shells.

Fuck yeah!!

Is that big black on congas .

What is it call the condition(or inability) I have that makes me see, or hear, all drum solos as only nonsense random noises without a pattern? I'm seriously asking, not joking.

ostinato on the hi and ruds everywhere you want.....simple

If he tuned them any higher, they would fly away.

מתופף גדול

Afrikan war drums

He knocked me out!!!!!! I know it's extremely dumb n unprofessional to compare!!! But I'm sorry this cat is a better soloist than Blakey . Roach Cole. Bellson.. n many more!!!!!
