    I started out as a self-taught rock drummer in a garage band in the mid-60's. Then I heard this song. My life was changed forever. I found an excellent jazz drummer with a style very similar to Joe Morello's which was light, flowing and very powerful. I am still practicing. I could listen to this forever while I can only take 5 minutes of Buddy Rich. Joe's playing is perfection. In all of his videos, he is a true gentleman who is always modest. Rest in peace, Joe. You still live in my heart.

      Thank you for calling my attention to Joe Morello's drumming. I am desperately old but _Time Out_ was _the_ album to have when we were seniors in high school and college if you were hip. Like you, I could loop this for hours on end!

      Same experience as you. I'm 75. Picked a new silver sparkle Slingerland kit in 1976 and still play light rock, jazz, swing. Have been offered 5-6 thousand dollars as my kit is mint....chrome is perfect and the wrap is tight with NO fade, yellowing or ginger ale. A little of Buddy goes a long way.

    Joe Morello might look like a baby-faced accountant, but his drum solo on "Take Five" is the coolest, yet most elegant drum solo in the history of jazz 🎶. I also like the way Brubeck turns and and actually watches Morello play.

      The "accountant" look wasn't really a choice. That uniform was mandatory at the time. If you didn't dress accordingly, you didn't work. Some places still require this. My first tuxedo was given to me by a sax player. I still have tuxedos and suits in my closet, just in case.

      Everything I've ever heard or read about Joe says that Joe was the perfect gentleman in all ways. He was never condescending to a student and was always complimentary to fellow musicians. Unfortunately, I heard the opposite about Buddy Rich but that is another story.
      My favorite drummer of all time is Joe Morello and my favorite living drummer is Jeff Hamilton, also a gentleman.

The hardest part of the tune is the drum solo sections because the figures run over the bar lines.

    Listening to Joe Morello play so comfortably and fluidly in 5/4, and then hearing his call and response from the snare to the tom...it's just amazing, and I can't help but think the great jazz/rock drummer Ginger Baker learned significantly from hearing him. I wish I could have met Joe. I did have the honor of meeting Dave Brubeck, and telling him how much he influenced my own piano playing, with his rhythmic left/right hand syncopation.

    above all the other renditions. But while it sets the benchmark, this piece of music permeates the music world and so many other great
    outfits have benefited by having it in their play list. I think that adds to the value of the successful acceptance of this great masterpiece.

IBecause of Joe, I went from a music illiterate and very loud garage band rock drummer to an educated smooth and low volume jazz drummer. Joe has always been my idol. Yes, I still like to listen to classic rock but I only play smooth jazz, pop and classic soul. Watching and/or listening to Take Five is like meditating.

I'm not comparing Peart to Morelo, just making the observation that Neil Peart is about the only drummer from the rock genre that could play like Joe Morello because Peart was a thinking man's drummer.
