Topic: Some New Orleans drumming

[Pan]

I don't know too much about NO jazz, but this video I came up on a jazz forum sounds excellent.

This guy makes the rock drummers, who have two bassdrums and umpteen tom-toms and cymbals and whatnot, look plain ridiculous 
It's incredible too, how the piano player manages almost to sound like a banjo, behind the trumpet solo.

What fun and they were all enjoying it.

Every now and then I do an entire gig using even less kit, just snare and one choke cymba doing very similar early stuff. It really makes you think if every chorus is to sound fresh and not a boring repeat.
