Nice to see Harold Jones still going strong. Many(many) years ago when I was taking lessons my drum teacher recommended the Count Basie album 'Basie Straight Ahead' as a definitive example of how to play big band drums,Harold Jones being the drummer.Forty odd years later that still holds good, and the big band I play in are still playing a couple of charts from it Thanks Harold you're still the man!
PLAY THEM !! 💥
Damn that hi hat pull rod could be used as a cell tower antenna. Make a great lightening rod too.

Love this guy.. No nonsense, straight up truth and experience by one of the best..
Rhythmista no nonsense? He starts to play them 2 minuets into the video.
Great hats and a cool Cat
this man gave more lessons in a video about zildjian new beat hihats than any teacher
What a informative video thanks
+Fabian Fierros I totally agree. This was an enjoyable video. I also got a kick out of how little he played the hi hats he was supposed to be demoing
You're right, a really cool video. Recorded with Sinatra, Peterson, Ellington, Hancock, the list goes on!
Great hats, great drummer, great insight.
oh, nice explanation of that screw under. thanks Harold. The elders always have good information. :)
I want more chicken lol
did art blakey have a crazy steep angle on his hats?
Old school..
Stop talking.
