The Lord of the Drums.

What is the date of this concert recital?

Just wondering, what year was this filmed?

Thomas Lang.

what kind of ride is that? it crashes like a china

10:47 groove and feel is so dope

6:49 aye that song! i always love referencing it in the jam sessions 😂

Memories...

Max was to bebop drumming what Hendrix was to Stratocasters. The grooves here illustrate that better than anything else I could imagine. He was a virtual encyclopedia of coolness on the drums.

👏🏾👏🏾

最高です。

Forever a legend. Every drummer should respect this guy's work. Not only was he technically proficient but he played with soul.

This is fantastic!! just like him. Awesome!!

TRULY INSPIRATIONAL.

You can hear where Bonham got his ideas from.

I don't think anyone even to this day understood the depth of Max Roach.

Very nice!!

I saw the Max Roach quartet when I was about 20 and learning drums. I sat a few feet away. I asked him to adopt me but he refused. I mean, c'mon. Max was the Max. For those just discovering Jazz, check out the "greatest Jazz concert" at Massey Hall.

Nice! Working on this now. BTW, I had that same Rolling Stones poster in my room as a kid. Emotional Rescue was the first record I ever bought.

Ok, now I know where Bonham took this lick for his solo in Royal Albert Hall)

Great job guys! Sounds great....🍻

I saw him about 6 times. Met him after one show when he was so kind and gracious to all the young musicians wanting to meet him. A total giant.

9:49

Just one more detail of Max's drums shown here, and that it appears that his Ludwig Supraphonic snare drum has a die-cast top rim. I think this may be because Max endorsed Gretsch Drums for a long time before switching to Ludwig. I think Max may have preferred that particular tone he got from using Gretsch drums and the fact all their snares and tom-toms featured die-cast rims (hoops).

In regard to my previous comments below, I neglected to mention that Yamaha made a very similar, almost identical tympani type floor tom. I remember seeing it featured in one of their catalogs, circa the early 1980s. It was only offered in the 14 x 14 size and was shown in a natural wood finish, made from birch I think. It is a very rare and collectible drum.

I remember when this concert/ clinic was available on VHS tape, thru Modern Drummer magazine and maybe Downbeat too. I also very distinctly remember seeing articles and discussion on the "tympani" 14 X 14 floor tom used by Max during this era. It was made by an Italian drum maker called Hollywood Drums at the time. It featured a foot pedal that could change the pitch of the drum, as seen in the concert video. You can see Max's right foot moving up and down and changing the pitch. Very cool drum and just another color of Max's palette of sounds and tones. I was inspired by Max Roach more than any modern drummer I can think of. I can't read music, but I clearly heard and understood the various polyrhythms he demonstrated here. Max was the drummer who "changed things" more than anyone. You can hear the beats and patterns that inspired Elvin and Tony here. What a gift this video is to all the younger drummers coming up who need to hear where so many modern beats and drum breaks came from.

THis guy, he was probably on of the best musicians ever

wow1

Sounds great!

Veramente complimenti! Bravissimo!!!!!

This COULD be on July 1, 1982 at the New York Sheraton Forum Room. Part of the Kool (Newport) Jazz Festival. A ticket cost a whopping $7.50. I was there.

Nice work, I want to buy this Joerg Eckel book too, it seems amazing !

This is amazing, thank you !! We need MUSICIANS like Max Roach today..(musicians, not only good drummers) ! :-)

Feel like sammus aran going trhoug corneria!

Q: WHEN was this taped? I went to a Max Roach solo concert which was very similar in the late 70s at a midtown hotel in NYC - audience of only about 125 people, and also part of the Kool Jazz Festival. Any other info would be appreciated (by the way, his Special Guest was Papa Jo Jones - at that time relegated to a wheelchair).

This is amazing footage!! Thank you so much ❤ In my opinion max is the most briiliant bebop drummer!!

Not sure why I've only just come across this, but that's MY Dad on the drums 🤘
