    I think it's funny to see people snob it up over music and in particular musicians. Whenever I see them together, especially from different generations, they almost always appreciate each others talent and work. Even across genres, great rock musicians like country music, country guys like big band, but KZread commenters all seem to know better, and get a kick out of bashing guys (and gals) whose talent they could never hope to match.

    The official name of the drum kit is "JAZZ DRUMS", so, it makes perfectly sense. The drums were develloped during Jazz golden eras, so... And it´s still going, remember Frank Zappa frase : "Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny " eheheh

    It's not simply the posting, but all the work envolved in the searching, download it, editing, mounting the video.slided shows, inserting the drummers names, and back then there was a 10 minute limitation, and, I'm a saxophone player, my friends... Well, I 've allways loved rhythm, and had a special bond with my drummers, so... But the guys that disliked pherhaps don't even realize the effort and commitment that is necessary to do a work like these video collection... It's so much easier to click a "baaahhh", I dislike the video 'cause it has not Billy Cobham in it !!! Well, Cobham doesn't appear because I don't like his drumming... But I don't go on clicking 'dislikes' on his videos, understand?? So, be happy, and constructive fellows, please...

    I really 'love' the 15 guys that gave this compilation a "down finger", and I was thinkin' that probably they prefer: a) Rock, Hard-rock or Heavy Metal drummers, and, for those, I just remember that: Charlie Watts - Rolling Stones - had a Jazz Big Band ; Ginger Baker - The Cream - had a very Jazz oriented band, "Ginger Baker's Airforce"; A drummer from a very Hard band - Mettalica, Aerosmith, Uriah Heep, Def Leppard, or some other group in that kind of musical aesthetics (please note that I'm not making any kind of criticism or judgement of value), declared in a TV interview that « I'm only playing this kind of music because it pays far better that the Music I love, JAZZ» - It's a fact that most drummers of any kind of Music agree that the better and more creative percussionists and drummers are the Jazz ones - and that analysis also extends to almost other instrumentists ... b) Fusion, Rock Jazz, Crossover and similar drummers - I remember that there´s also very good or even exellent drummers, there, like (à la batterie : Tony 'Williames' - il est trés jeune, il a seulement dix-sept ans ... [ in: 'Miles Davis in Paris' ] ); Peter Erskine and any other Weather Report drummer; Billy Cobham; and so on.. - I just didn't make any other episodes of 'Greatest Drummers' because I'm busy recording my third CD and drawing my new Comics album ... and ... sorry for that matter! c) that I'd never put a hand on KZread... d) that I'll would never existed at all... e) that they had cliked in the ok finger, or 'up finger' (no, not that finger you're thinkin about !!), instead otherwise... f) always cliking in the down finger or saying "Booooo!" to anything that any other guy does, just because, YES, just because THEY ARE NEGATIVE GUYS !! Try to be happy, at least, ok??

    When I hear "Moon was the best...or Buddy or Bonzo or whatever" I smile and thank every drummer from Ringo thru Joe Morello, Carl Palmer, Stewart Copeland and Vinnie that I heard and stole a bit from to make up "me". Drumming is an art, not a science or a competition. Is Rembrandt better than Leonardo?

    Does anyone know where the first video with a bunch of drummers is from? I remember seeing it several years ago on daily motion but it was much longer and in colour. I believe it was either a short film or a scene from a movie. I remember the scene was a sort of prison for drummers or something like that. I've been searching for it for a couple of years, the short clip from this video is all I could find. If anyone knows where or what this video is I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

    All the great drummers used, or are using, the traditional grip, I detest seeing the match grip being used, to me it is a sloppy, easy way of playing drums and the so called drummers who teach it should be ashamed to take their pupils' money. By the way I was fortunate to see, many years ago Sonny Payne in the Harry James orchestra, lovely memories.
