Elvin jones

any elvin jones fans out there?

 

Top Musician. Practically peerless on the drums
Best work with John Coltrane below

 

elvin jones is a genius!!! A true drumming master

i love his skeleton afro-cuban drum patterns in the afro-cuban rhythms book

 

some of his solo work..is really good

 

i agree with sniffmagikmarkrs

 

He's an incredible, inventive jazz drummer...definitely one of the greatest...A Love Supreme is an awesome album...

 

"you gotta be willing to die for a motherfucker"

 

he's the 'one' for me... nobody can do it like elvin

watching his hands doesn't reveal much useful info, they seem to be going all over the place.... they move like pendulums... he hardly plays a note on the beat, its all fluttering around it, yet you can always feel the pulse.

a true god of the skins and my hero, cool as a cucumber
