Apparently this week is 'drum solo' week on the Letterman show. I'll probably sleep through the Neil Peart night, but I'll definitely be watching Roy Haynes on Wednesday night, 6/8/11. The man is 86 years old and still an extremely vital player, based on some very recent concert video I have seen. Check it out, if you get the chance. |

I saw Roy play in Boston about 2 years ago and he was stiill kicking the ass of his bandmates who were all in their 20s and 30s. He is a national treasure for sure! - D. |

It's bad enough trying to understand the mindset of a jazz drummer. But how many times do I have to watch a guy in complete mystery about what he is doing to produce that particular sound, only to discover that the tracking is a fraction of a second off so, in fact, what I am seeing isn't! http://www.drummerworld.com/Videos/royhayneschick2.html |

Man, seeing that clip refreshes my regret at not having bought a 20" K ride back in 1994 when I bought a set of K's that I still have (10" splash, 16" medium crash, 18" medium thin crash, 20" ride, 14" hats). A flat ride was not even in my thinking at the time.  This clip was from 1996, only a couple of years after I bought mine, but I'll bet I would have liked an 18" or a 20" from this same era, like the one Roy Haynes is using here. Zildjian offers one now, but K's are different now than they were then. I tried both a 20"K flat and a 20" K Constantinople flat back in November 2010 (on my way to Kelly's), and neither one really wanted to go home with me. Don't know if I was just spoiled by the Diril I had just gotten before hitting the road. Goki has an 18" K Custom flat that I bought in 2001, and sometimes still miss, but I'm glad that he has it.

He's very glad too, Cliff... There's something extra tasty about Flat rides. Sure, You don't have the bell and You're limited to sound options (and music styles), BUT the way it swings - is a step ahead of ordinary rides... Great video Greg - thanks for sharing... |

Awesome clip! I agree about the flat ride as well, they are great if you can find a good one! |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgyEg01M ... r_embedded I've watched the clips of Anton Fig and Sheila E. (can't believe I just typed her name); pretty boring by contrast with Haynes. Ninety-how-old?

He is 86, according to his bio. Yup, the boy does definitely have a future in the business.
