Max Roach on Hollywood Tronic drums, Senza Rete RAI TV

[@applejuice5635]

I'm very amused by the expressions on the house drummer's face. He had the best seat in the house!

[@richardstardust2355]

Imagine you've go to play after Max is finished

[@lensmith189]

John Bonham dedicated solos to Max Roach. I can see why. What a great drummer.

[@LuigiLaVerghetta-mu6kg]

The house Drummer that you can see behind Max in this TV show was Emilio De Biase, a very talented Italian (Neapolitan) drummer, unfortunately passed away too young. He was a big friend of Tullio De Piscopo, one of the greatest Italian drummers.

[@ModernOak]

Wow! Very cool info 🤓 thanks for sharing

[@herberthallum2078]

One of the all time greats.

[@Cinemagoer_64]

He played with so much color and so silky smooth he was really beautiful!

[@Craigo-xg5mc]

I love the enthusiasm of the band. They’re so happy to play with him!

Max Roach really had the touch. A sound like no other!

[@riccardobertarello3722]

A differenza di altri batteristi supertecnici, Roach era pure un mirabile compositore. La tecnica di Max Roach era sempre al servizio di una squisita musicalità. Semplicemente il più completo drummer di tutti i tempi !!

[@hollywood-drums]

diciamo che allora i supertecnici erano un numero minore di quelli fioriti negli '80. inoltre in roach era presente una tensione sociale e politica che sfociava in un artista all around

[@rudigerpodlaha7799]

I don't speak or write Italian, but I understand your comment (I studied French and Latin at school decades ago. Maybe I'll take Italian courses when I retire. I consider it a very lovely language). I don't know if anyone can be called the best or the most complete. I admire Joe Morello, Elvin Jones - or f.i. Terry Lyne Carrington, Vinnie Colaiuta or Brian Blade. But Max was always my favorite drummer, for whatever reason. I liked his strength, his determination, his musicality, his lyrical style. And his political convictions in the fight for equality. Many times I sang his song 'Mendacity' to myself after listening to politicians or business bosses. I saw him live in Germany four times. Each time it was an enlightenment. I saw him chatting happily with a big band drummer who was proud to play alongside with him. I've seen him getting enraged when a minor jazzman's name was written larger than his on a poster simply because 'Max Roach Double Quartet' was such a long name and they chose smaller letters to make it fit, or when his trumpeter slightly missed the cue. These were different aspects of his passionate personality. And he was truly able to convey the passion for rhythm and for music in general to his audience like no other.

Fabulous Drummer! R.ip Max Roach(1924-2007)

[@silent_gamer0817]

Such a remarkable musician, one of the all time greats

[@arame29]

Max with a big band! Dynamite

[@SheltonHull]

Max gave it to them, and Italy was there for it. That was great!

[@striker_1120]

I love that the camera does this epic zoom thing when he rolls on the snare

[@jeffgoates4844]

That’s simply BS!

[@bonhzeppelin55]

Thanks for posting this! Bloody Hell! from 4:17 on John Bonham copped that part of his solo from Max! As much as I love Bonzo, Max was better on this solo's motifs. That said John was The King of the Triplet, and Doubles on a single bass drum pedal. Cheers!

[@DDandrums]

It's called "The drum also waltzes". Bill Burford did a great version.

[@gioachinolorelli5138]

Grande Roach, ma vogliamo anche parlare dello Swing pazzesco che Pino Calvi riesce ad ottenere da quella magnifica orchestra?

[@aldobagnonitheconnection9472]

Sarà utile ricordare che la composizione che Roach suona con l'orchestra è sua, e si intitola It's time. Alla fine, Roach suona anche una delle sue composizioni per batteria sola, The drum also waltzes. Grazie Luca per aver postato questo video davvero notevole

[@wilhamcobly3805]

Sì, è così! Dall'omonimo album che ho praticamente consumato!

Thank you for sharing this! Grande

[@luiszuluaga6575]

Wow, I’ve never seen this performance of his.

[@raulmontanari4387]

Ho riso tantissimo - di allegria! Tenero il lapsus di Morandi nel chiamare Roach in scena ma il buon Gianni sembrava un po' emozionato e questo non è così strano dato che era tutt'altro che un analfabeta musicale, nonostante il misterioso accenno finale alla "batteria elettronica". Il pubblico è di bocca buona e applaude soprattutto i passaggi superveloci che non erano, in realtà, il trademark di questo immenso batterista. Va bene anche così. Egregio il lavoro dell'orchestra, come è stato giustamente notato nei commenti. Per quanto riguarda l'influenza sui drummer del rock, oltre a quella evidente su Bonham si nota anche quella su Carl Palmer, che forse è stato il più completo di tutti. Grazie, Luca!

[@basiebasie-iw3qz]

E come non dimenticare l'eccentrico Buddy Rich... Sonny Payne che con le bacchette sembrava un giocoliere... Rufus Speedy Jones che portava l'Orchestra di Count Basie al decollo... Jo Jones... il raffinato Sam Woodyard di Duke Ellington e gli ultimi che ci hanno lasciato: Butch Miles e Duffy Jackson che con la mole di Bud Spencer si muoveva alla batteria come fosse un fuscello... erano incredibilmente bravi! Se non dei geni!

still love his drumming!!

All that fantastic playing on a standard four piece kit with a hi hat and two cymbals.

Fantastic !

[@thomasgiering8091]

A great arrangement of "It's Time" and a version of "The Drum Also Waltzes" with a lot of Max' trademark licks in it. Cool footage!!

[@rudigerpodlaha7799]

'It's Time' and 'The Drum also Waltzes', as far as I know. Timeless greats. The first piece is about my age. I hope I look half as fresh as the music sounds.

[@carloseugeniocarlos4287]

I think John Bonham inspiring on Max when he did it Moby Dick!

[@smythe555]

It's one of Max's famous phrases. Bonham was influenced by all the Jazz drummers.

[@bonhzeppelin55]

@@smythe555 Didn't know Bonzo was influenced by Max as his parents loved and listened to a lot of Gene Krupa. I also think John was influenced by Joe Morello's barehanded solos. Cheers!

I look at the student of the big sid, This was the time when a number of musical jazz moles expressed the opinion that Max Roach had surpassed Bernard Rich.

[@marcellomentasimonsennico5670]

The tunes are: 1- "It's Time"; 2- "Speak, Brother, Speak".

[@federiconardi3134]

Immenso Max Roach. Rara apparizione in TV italiana. Presentazione semi gaffe del giovane Morandi, commento di chiusura da espulsione per Morandi...batteria elettronica? Inascoltabile. Ero bimbo e ricordo perfettamente quella frase che mi stupì e non capii se non anni dopo quando Max mi apri la passione per il jazz. Morandi proprio non aveva conoscenza adatta

[@hollywood-drums]

però batteria elettronica era giusto :)

[@federiconardi3134]

@@hollywood-drums erano applicati dei trigger per amplificare il suono delle pelli e il suono dai fusti di sostegno . Roach non ha mai suonato batterie elettroniche e tantomeno quella non lo era

[@hollywood-drums]

@@federiconardi3134 so bene come funzionavano le Tronic. Trigger è un po' improprio dal punto di vista tecnico, ma concettualmente giusto. Le Tronic erano cmq batterie elettroniche (sai cosa distingue elettrico da elettronico?). E al 90 % Roach non le ha mai suonate in un disco

Those look like A Zildjian: I can't see any hammering on the bottom. But it's tough to say for sure. They could also have been borrowed or loaned for the show, though, in which case they could be UFIP or Paiste, though unlikely.
