A young drummer perfectly recreates a solo that is almost 70 years old. What better compliment in this short-lived world for one of jazz's greatest drummers?

[@crushingbelial]

Great feel - max roach made it look easy and so do you. That isn't easy.

[@alfiolainidrums4988]

Haha thank you for your message! I can assure you that it wasn't as easy as it looks now, I put quite some practice into that haha

[@liamwatson5125]

Max Roach made the drums talk!

[@mgrdibbs]

Excellent, relaxed playing.

[@alfiolainidrums4988]

Thanks a lot! Being rexaled is key to be groovy

[@jaakkot9661]

Fantastic playing and a fantastic sounding kit!

[@alfiolainidrums4988]

Thank you so much!!

[@manuelpeters446]

I love how clean and precise this is

[@alfiolainidrums4988]

Thanks man! I had to spend some time on those triplets rolls to have them finally clean haha

[@manuelpeters446]

@@alfiolainidrums4988 that sounds tough. How do you practice them? Do you play them ridiculously slow with a metronome at first?

[@alfiolainidrums4988]

@@manuelpeters446 yes you have to go through that. That way, your body start integrating the movement and the phrases so you don't need to think about every note anymore.

[@manuelpeters446]

@@alfiolainidrums4988 do triplet rolls have two rebounds?

[@alfiolainidrums4988]

@@manuelpeters446 The sticking you are using depends on the sound you want to have. At 0:32, the triplets are based on a 6 stroke roll wich is RLLRRL and at 0:45, i'm doing only single stroke roll
