Thanks so much for this series with Jeff Hamilton. I'm 62 yrs old and never stop learning. I could listen and learn from him all day long. Thanks again

Indeed, Jeff's become one of those masters himself. Love this informal, honest type of interview.

Immensely inspiring! I've been fortunate to work with Jeff, and see him at several clinics and performances. He's probably the most knowledgeable person about big band drumming on the planet.

Awesome video. The power of an upbeat and very positive attitude is everything. Sprinkle in some humility and love if history and it’s over the top.

Great series and Jeff is one of the very best drummers ever. I was lucky enough to see him perform with Woody Herman in the 70´s and with LA4 in my little hometown, Linköping, Sweden! Since i play drums myself, or at least try to, Jeff has been a major influence for me in trying to play drums and especially with the brushes.

Love what Jeff is saying about having the word lucky! H also mentions a few unsung heroes very worthy of note,Matt Wilson and sonny igoe. Great players. I met and heard Matt Wilson a few years back at BIRDLAND and he is a great player!

An insightful and meaningful interview, capturing fascinating technical history, along with touching sentiments. I guess, come to think about it, that summs up JH and it shines though every beat.

Right around 3:05 Jeff refers to a drummer by the name of Jon Bonolan - I'm not sure if that's right. Does anyone have any more info on this guy?

Practice your rudiments until they flow from one to another and then just play singles doubles and flams!
