Drumming in the now – Maynard Ferguson, Give it One

Check out this video from youtube. The track is Maynard Ferguson’s “Give it One”. I don’t know the drummer’s name at the moment – but if anyone does, please let me know!

If you’re not a drummer, chances are you’ve probably never had the chance to watch a truly great drummer in action.

World class drumming is an artform unto itself, and this drummer is living, and drumming in the now – 100% relaxed, easy, calm, confident, controlled, and the results…well, just watch the video

…and here is a live version of the same song, at a higher tempo just for fun
