Max Roach, Shelly Manne, Dannie Richmond, and Frankie Dunlop were truly " individuals" as drummers .

Got to Love Max. The Melodic drummer. The Tone Man. His drumming is like listening to a great piano man trumpet man. You name it Melody and more Melody that is Max.

At the beginning, he is actually playing "Mop Mop" on his drums.

[@VanoidGaming]

Oh that makes sense why it is called for big sid because big sid was Coleman Hawkins’ drummer

And at the very end.

@@musopaul5407 Yeah, I think he just starts creating after that, but uses the 2 quarter note "mop mop" as a sort of motif throughout, ending phrases with it.
