Here's an awesome throwback performance by Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers with a solo from 1959. This is from the piece, "No Problem." Notice Art playing match grip! And what's with the crazy polyrhythm at the beginning? What's the math on that??? The players include Lee Morgan (t), Wayne Shorter (ts), Walter Davis Jr (p), Jymie Merritt (b). Did you ever see art perform in person? See more fun, inspiring interviews and drumming/percussion videos of many genres from over 130 countries around

Hey Drum Family! Do you like watching vintage drum solos and/or "drum battles"? You have got to check out this cool footage from 1968 featuring Elvin Jones and Art Blakey on the same stage. Have you ever "jammed" with another drummer or done any gigs with you and another drummer playing together? I have played gigs with percussionists and it is always fun and interesting but I have never played on stage with another drum kit drummer.
