Sometimes you see something and it’s too good to believe.

This is great! I met Louis Bellson in 1985 at a concert in Denver. On the set break I introduced myself to him as a drummer in high school and the first thing he says is, "I just picked up this new Ping Ride for my ride cymbal. How does it sound out there?" I was stunned that this drumming god was asking my opinion about one of his cymbals! He was an amazing gentleman who taught us much just by the way he carried himself.

Hi. Can you please tell what ecact tool are we talking about? On Ebay i mean.

Are those 26" bass drums

Réalisation superbe ! Il est monté de1 ou 2 octaves en mélodie , et reste magnifiquement esthétique , et symphonique...Bravo ...quel boulot ?

Not to be negative, but...as good as he is, if you've seen one Bellson solo, you've seen them all.

Sheer magic - beats from the womb of the world 🌍

Such a iconic drum kit.a piece of history.🥁

Thanks you saved my ....

WILD!

I could listen to Louie all damn day and more.

Now the big questio how much was the total? Is perfect

Great song and Performance but could you put my Boy Kevin a little closer to the front !!!!😁

Amazing, not a hair out of place.🥁

Metal born in 1955

Louie was better than Buddy

One of the all time greats He was never afraid to create music on the drumset. A true master. RIP

Three days prior to this concert, they played at Raytown South High School in Raytown, Missouri. Great memories and an amazing performance.

Love your lug choice!

Force of nature here folks. Miss & love you Louie, Edward Kennedy Ellington and all these phenomenal musicians!

sounds frantic and manic

The loveliest thing about this is that he plays so gently under the band so that the dynamics don't get lost. And still swings like a true cat. Those kids must have felt pretty lucky that day.

A proud son of East Boston, and we are proud to have had him

Great tune but the video is nasty. Click bait.

Flawless musicianship, technique and style. Mr. Louie Bellson - a drumming legend in a class by himself. ❤️

That Remo kits sounds incredible

What brand kit is that? It's actually a very modern design for the 50's. Shallow toms. I can't see the tom mounts, but it doesn't look like they are consolette type.

I love the shallow toms. My hyper drive kit is based on the shallow tom sound and punctuation.

Hey KRO222! You're a lifesaver. Thank you from Honolulu, Hawaii!

I love when Louie gets on a roll, his face develops a mind of its own.😮😂

Are most awesome display of talent excellent show

I'd bet Tommy Aldridge idolized Louie Bellson.

has horribly out of control overtines for my liking.

Well said conversation from a true musician. A well-respected virtuoso talent.

Every heavy-metal drummer in the world should appreciate this guy, because without him, we would’ve never known about it….. and the amazing fact is this was done long before chain driven pedals…. I started drumming and 1977. I was seven my first pedal was a leather strap pedal. In 87 I went to DW chain driven.. just a little nostalgia, for anybody can understand that era… or underestimates the advantages of today’s gear…

like a fine tuned engene .

Ray Nance's amazing singing, blowing and fiddling are found on many Ellington records and here we see the dancing and clowning Duke's audiences enjoyed as well.

Amazing ❤

I stand behind Humes and Berg drum bags, as I use the Galaxy series on my toms. I use the Humes and Berg Seeker bag on my snare drums and Bass drums. I am 5’11” tall and don’t have any issues with the handle strap length, so, may I suggest that you consider taking your bag to a leather/shoe repair shop. Have them shorten up your straps and problem solved, no more dragging your bags on the ground.

Better video and better sound without idiotic sound overlays: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qppid6WiptyUn3k.html

Excellent document on the underrated Jimmy Vincent? Female sax player in the band, know her name?

This drums awesome. Them countersunk screws and washers really great idea. 😊 happy drumming❤

Hey! Thanks for this. Any chance I’d be able to buy a handful of these from you? Your attention to detail is 💯

Thank you so much! Last week I put my Peugeot 308 key in my friends 2006 Boxster and spent a week in total agitation as everyone put the fear of God into me because the car is a Porsche. I finally plucked up the courage to put my one and only Peugeot key back in and it worked. I am so eternally grateful. I can’t thank you enough for posting this video. Sandi from the UK
