For all, who didn't know him before: long time he was the drummer of the Dutch Swing College Band, but founded also his own jazz-band. A legend in Holland. Many dutch drummers, who are still busy - for example Pierre van der Linden (Focus), were teached by him. I saw him several times. Only amazing and a drummer with an individual style!
There is so much talk about Buddy Rich, Neil Part, Vinnie Coluita etc etc...but my oh my..then we Have Huub l, who IMO clearly just broke took things to a whole other level. The emotion and finesse at which he articulates the dynamics and feel as he expresses himselfnwith his uncanny ability is 2nd to none and upon me coming across this video, at which I've never even heard of Huub, has just blown mind and again in my most humble opinion, the most underatted drummerbof all time. Simply put..this solo is fricken smoking!!! ❤❤👏👏 RIP Huub!!
Huub, after this solo you are for me the number one of the jazz drummers , followed by Buddy Rich and Charlie Antollini. Greetings from a Heavy Metal fan to heaven from Germany : - )
Heavily modified traditional grip, left stance and the stick is caught between the middle finger and forefinger, and the result is amazing. Very very difficult staging. Nowadays, only a few of the best drummers could handle this to some degree! The technique, speed and pace and precision are at a unique level.
WHAT A DRUMMER!! I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THE TEMPO AND RHYTHM AS IF OTHER MUSICIANS WERE PLAYING ALONG WITIH HIM. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD OF THIS MAN AND HIS MUSIC. HE WAS SO GOOD. I REALLY ENJOYED LISTENING TO HIM. I AM SORRY HE IS NO LONGER WITH US. WITH GRATITUDE FOR HIS STUDYING SO LONG AND HARD TO BE ABLE TO PLAY LIKE THIS! SYLVIA - FL 5/17/21
I'm almost ashamed to say I've never heard of this guy! :( however, that being said, I am most humbled to have come across this amazing musician! He is extraordinary, unique, and masterful. His eloquent style is beyond compare! A true joy to watch, as I have watched this video over a dozen times already! I am truly sadden to know he is no longer with us, but I will mention and post this video on my channel for all to marvel! I will try to incorporate a little of your style into my solos as homage to you. Thank Mr. Janssen! Thank you for sharing your an amazing moments with us (although posted by someone else :) )
Barry, I agree with you. Where has this guy been all my life? He is absolutely amazing and that's putting it lightly. Super clean and the technique, style, and feel makes for one monster combination and enjoyable viewing as well as listening. I will certainly be searching for more vids of his. Thanks for your comments they are spot on.
So clean. So, so clean. Each note was so well defined. A true lesson in hand technique. Make you go back and work on stick control or just working on very clean singles and doubles.
Grandios! Als Schlagzeuger bin ich immer wieder beeindruckt von der hohen Kunst des Schlagzeugspielens, die diesen bemerkenswerten Drummer auszeichneten und die in diesem Video auch für nachfolgende Drummer erlebbar bleibt.
Wow!! Now THAT is old school showmanship. His dexterity, facial expressions, control, flair, are utterly amazing. Nice single stick roll on the snare! (No cheating by skipping it off the rim!!)
Vergeet nooit hoe hij vroeger in ons Café binnenkwam. Hij had altijd z’n stokken in z’n binnenzak. Mijn moeder was een nicht van hem en dan zei hij “Doortje mag ik drummer” en natuurlijk deed hij dat. Tafels, stoelen en alles kwam te voorschijn. Ik heb m’n hele leven fijne herinneringen aan hem. Zal hem nooit vergeten. ❤️
Für mich einer der Besten. Habe ihn oft live mit der Dutch Swing College Band erleben dürfen. War immer ein Hochgenuss. Danke für die tolle Zeit, die ich bei euren Konzerten immer hatte.
I am blown away...first time i see a solo from that crazy holland drumming god. I thoug i saw all the great drummers ....buddy rich, charlie antolini, thpmas lang, vinnie colaiuto and many more..... now i realized, huub belongs to the top drummers of all time too
Wow!!! I never heard of this fine musician, but what an Amazing performance!!! Those drums are finely tuned. Whatever you want, this guy will give it to you in Spades!!!
The Netherlands best drummer ever!!! Saw him once in Eindhoven (must have been around 95' ) , he played there with his band, it was an amazing experience to witness his greatness on the instrument.
Hola die Waldfee! 👍Da stimmt alles. Phänomenaler Klang des Schlagzeugs, super Technik und musikalisch 🥁Tolle Tricks. Ich kannte ihn bis jetzt nicht. Again what learned.
Senza parole...aggiungere commenti ci si imbatte in qualche ingiustizia...straordinario questo asssssolo...gagliardo espressione viva...davvero eccellente...👌😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😊🙄🙄🤔🤔😍❤️❤️
Melodically intelligent ! Skill level among the highest. Totally loose with power and independence. Just an awesome display of ability and talent. Study hard and practice practice practice. RIP MIster in the big band in the sky.
Buddy Rich is probably one of the most overrated drummers in the business. Janssen and Charly Antolini are much better than Rich. At least in my opinion
Wow, John Cleese on drums? What a class act. Love how he feels into what he's playing. All that left/right mirroring, a truly ambidextrous player too. Mr Clean as well. I think the only unintentional stick hit came at 10:36!
Very great playing here, he seems to sit very high over the drum kit, playing downward more than most drummers, also his arm movement is very exaggerated but gets incredible speed anyway. Love watching him play, great skill along with showmanship.
One of the best drummers ever lived

Many times when he had free time from the swing college band he played in my father's place together with his friend Jan gorissen I adored him
My dad was a trumpet player and played with Huub. My first drumkit came from him.
There is so much talk about Buddy Rich, Neil Part, Vinnie Coluita etc etc...but my oh my..then we Have Huub l, who IMO clearly just broke took things to a whole other level.

Never heard of this dude but man his rolls are phenominal
Stick control is everything. The dude isn’t even tired nor sweating and he’s wearing a tie, long sleeve and a suit!
Absolutely remarkable control. Superhuman technique, and feel.
The man was absolutely brilliant. Phenomenal speed AND control.
Heavily modified traditional grip, left stance and the stick is caught between the middle finger and forefinger, and the result is amazing. Very very difficult staging. Nowadays, only a few of the best drummers could handle this to some degree! The technique, speed and pace and precision are at a unique level.
HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS MAN!!!! He sounds like a heavier Rich with a little more edge. I love him
I love drummers from the older generation because they play music when they solo... they don't just play chops...
Awesome 👌
Them toms be tuned to ACTUAL pitches! Not just randomness. They're melodic in what they bring forth; not just rhythmic. It's amazing!
WHAT A DRUMMER!! I CAN ACTUALLY HEAR THE TEMPO AND RHYTHM AS IF OTHER MUSICIANS WERE PLAYING ALONG WITIH HIM. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EVER HEARD OF THIS MAN AND HIS MUSIC. HE WAS SO GOOD.

Charly Antolini and Hubb. my two favorite drummers
Music is the universal language and he spoke it fluently!!!..Rest well friend!!!
I have been fortunate to see Huub perform on many occasions. Brilliant drummer and super nice guy.
I'm almost ashamed to say I've never heard of this guy! :( however, that being said, I am most humbled to have come across this amazing musician! He is extraordinary, unique, and masterful.

I can't believe I'm just now learning about this guy.
Me too. He’s amazing!!
I can’t either! Great!
I have known him since 1968
Amazing!!! For me one of the very best! His precision and Sound!! So sad that he passed away...i didn't knew that! R.I.P.
I love the little tom in the middle
Hubby was King of the snare solos. Amazing zinger who taught us OLD ROCKERS what a solo should sound like!!
phenomenal technique with the sticks, one of the most competent drummers.
So clean. So, so clean. Each note was so well defined. A true lesson in hand technique. Make you go back and work on stick control or just working on very clean singles and doubles.
I think this is the best drumming i’ve ever seen
I love this dude's palying and those Premeier drums! Wow
Grandios!
Als Schlagzeuger bin ich immer wieder beeindruckt von der hohen Kunst des Schlagzeugspielens, die diesen bemerkenswerten Drummer auszeichneten und die in diesem Video auch für nachfolgende Drummer erlebbar bleibt.
What can you say after that?
A true master of drums...
Wow!! Now THAT is old school showmanship. His dexterity, facial expressions, control, flair, are utterly amazing. Nice single stick roll on the snare! (No cheating by skipping it off the rim!!)
Was für ein super Drummer und ein echtes schow Talent. Wow.
I stumbled on this because the drum gods must love me.
Technique, musicality, showmanship on full display.
Smiled thru the whole thing.
poetry. Man those drums sing. No muffling at all. Hub you are on after Buddy. Hub. Hold my beer.

IF I COULD DRUM LIKE THAT I WOULD BE THE HAPPIEST GUY ON THE PLANET -WHY DONT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS MASTER !!
Such clarity and power in his strokes. What a musician
Never new of this guy until now, what a treasure he was. This was just amazing!!
Again Huub Janssen with rubberhands and very great man to met. 👍
So Remarkable!!!
If he had 20 more drums in front of him he would be even 20 times more happier!!
He is a Master of his ART
What a talent! He was amazing. He’s like dutch Louie Bellson. I love his sound. Those drums sound phenomenal. RIP Huub
fenomenal stisk control, impresive drummer
What a style and showmanship. He has everything.
Indeed he did
Für mich einer der Besten. Habe ihn oft live mit der Dutch Swing College Band erleben dürfen. War immer ein Hochgenuss. Danke für die tolle Zeit, die ich bei euren Konzerten immer hatte.
Some Gene Krupa thrown in also - Have not seen to many left from that era - wonderful spirit in his performance. WO😁Weeee
Wow...never heard of this drummer, but now I won't forget...
The best drummer I have ever seen
Wow!!.. he can make that drums SING!!!... peace & love from Guadalajara, México 16-enero2021 ✌🏻😎
De acuerdo!!! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥
If playing fast is the goal this guy is the champion!
Perfect combination of technical skill and showmanship
I am blown away...first time i see a solo from that crazy holland drumming god. I thoug i saw all the great drummers ....buddy rich, charlie antolini, thpmas lang, vinnie colaiuto and many more..... now i realized, huub belongs to the top drummers of all time too
Wow!!! I never heard of this fine musician, but what an Amazing performance!!! Those drums are finely tuned. Whatever you want, this guy will give it to you in Spades!!!
Rest in peace Legend
herb Jensen without a doubt one of the greatest drummers of all time the man is unbelievable
The Netherlands best drummer ever!!! Saw him once in Eindhoven (must have been around 95' ) , he played there with his band, it was an amazing experience to witness his greatness on the instrument.
Lots of precision, Moeller, Podemski and old-school Krupa showmanship right there!! Kudos Huub!!
Incredible Technique
The number of views ought to be squared to give this master _trommelaar_ due credit.
One of my favorite drummers although I never heard of him until a couple of years ago
Hola die Waldfee! 👍Da stimmt alles. Phänomenaler Klang des Schlagzeugs, super Technik und musikalisch 🥁Tolle Tricks. Ich kannte ihn bis jetzt nicht. Again what learned.
Master of the drum set! Even Buddy’s technique is surpassed. Amazed!
Don't ever need to compare any two goats. They are what the are.
One of the best drummers of all time
To be able to drum like that is a blessing!
incredible player...never heard of him before but he is awesome...fantastic...
Can't believe I'm just find out about this Gentlemen now. Amazing, absolutely amazing.
Full of craftmanship, skil, power and fun👍🏾.
Never heard of him before, but he is the John Bonham of jazz drumming mixed with Peter Sellers. I loved it.
Bloody amazing! And MAN, those toms are singing!!
Phenomenal! Buddy’s “ideas” and coordination were unsurpassed. This guy is close.
Damn those drums sound good. Every hit sounds so clean and crisp.
What a drummer and showman! Drums are well tuned too. Why hasn't this got in my feed before?
I am awestruck with his solo. A true showman and master of his craft.
Glad I found this. amazing musician with a lifetime of study & instruction. A lot to learn from Mr. Janssen.
Haven't seen this for sometime but WOW... it is absolutely brilliant IMO!!!!
Senza parole...aggiungere commenti ci si imbatte in qualche ingiustizia...straordinario questo asssssolo...gagliardo espressione viva...davvero eccellente...👌😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😊🙄🙄🤔🤔😍❤️❤️
Melodically intelligent ! Skill level among the highest. Totally loose with power and independence. Just an awesome display of ability and talent. Study hard and practice practice practice. RIP MIster in the big band in the sky.
traditional grip with the right hand... you do not see this often. great soloing!!!
Great control, great articulation, when he starts wailing you hear every note.
OUTSTANDING performance never a big sound out of little drum and a lefty Beautiful
That’s the best Mouler technique I have ever seen ! Fantastic .
This guy is fantastic!
I love this guy!
One of the most organic solo's I've ever seen.
70 people who gave thumbs down are obviously genetically modified!
Those people are probably tone deaf, and if they play drums at all, very likely play with their feet.
Phenomenal player; so inspired. Inspires me to practice!! R.I.P.
Now...dats a drum solo...!!!!....incredible.!!
Wow! Cobham meets Krupa.
Amazing!!! 👏 When i close my eyes, i thought it was Buddy's snare.
RIP GREAT DRUMMER
Thank you for sharing this incredible talent with the world
CLEEEAN. OH MY OH MY.... So clean play that even my ears drums are clean 💯💯🔥 absolute fire
Forget it...he leaves everyone else for dead. This cat is unbfknbleavable!!!!!
Great solo, technical mastery and entertaining as well. 👍🏻🥁
Dam never heard this man till now- better late than never.
What a monster! Crazy technique!
Looks like John Cleese, plays like Buddy Rich. Underrated!
Yes & a talented opera singer too!!
It's funny how Rich never referred to Jansen as to someone he was impressed with... Sour grapes me thinks!!!
Buddy Rich is probably one of the most overrated drummers in the business. Janssen and Charly Antolini are much better than Rich. At least in my opinion
Yeah and when he was younger with the beard he looked like Stanley Kubrick
Yes, absolutely underrated
Dude has feel and soul. Wow. I love these the suggested videos I've never seen.
Great technique,the solo is very well constructed
Amazing Great Power and Control very impressive 👏 👏👏
Wow, John Cleese on drums? What a class act. Love how he feels into what he's playing. All that left/right mirroring, a truly ambidextrous player too. Mr Clean as well. I think the only unintentional stick hit came at 10:36!
Very great playing here, he seems to sit very high over the drum kit, playing downward more than most drummers, also his arm movement is very exaggerated but gets incredible speed anyway. Love watching him play, great skill along with showmanship.
Exaggerated arm movements?
That's showmanship.
Yes it goes beyond Tommy Lee's stick twirling.
Huub, a drummers drummer god bless
Unglaublich! Was für eine Verdichtungskunst. Schlagzeug ist ein herrliches Instrument.
He's a master at rudiments...wow.
Great solo. he's got those cymbals clamped down tight.
