Drum solos normally very tiresome. That was cool though. Also reminds me- want to try and locate The Sammie Davis Jr Show on dvd and see what it was all about. Loved that cat.
Awesome! Even before I clicked 'play', I was thinking of Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa. I think Ed Shaughnessy could also have been included in the same class.
If I remember correctly, Johnny Carson played drums some, and was mentored by Rich and Shaughnessy.
Even cooler that the video featured Sammy Davis Jr.
