Philly Joe Jones Drum Transcription - No Room for Squares

[@bobbysands6923]

I know this over a decade ago, but since then there has been a lot of well-deserved Philly Joe love going around. Glad to see it. He is not talked about enough. Great sounding drums and cymbals...vintage cymbals...I think those heads are vintage as well...:)

[@mollybloom4200]

I love it that young musicians are still hearing this stuff!

[@VoodooDewey69]

It's great to see that there's young drummers out there that still respect the traditional form of jazz drumming and swing ,it took a lot of effort to study and transcribe this music .Philly Joe was definitely one of the slickest drummers in the history of jazz I appreciate the efforts that you have taken for Philly Joe was also very special to me he was my friend and I was fortunate enough to live with him for 6 months Philadelphia in the 80s keep Philly Joe's spirit and music alive for generations to come ,again great job.

[@kenneth7197]

Fantastic!

[@mikestevens5512]

It illustrates what the best jazz comping genius Philly was.

[@PJTheCurryGod]

seriously man. when i got into bop drumming, i thought i wanted to be elvin but really i wanna be smooth like Philly then develop my own style

[@Michael-Philip]

The drum heads from 1959.

[@mickdrummer15]

Man this is so killin'! You even tuned the kit to match Philly's sound. That snare is spot on!! Kudos my friend.

[@TurgutAlpBekoglu]

Thanks for sharing..

[@musopaul5407]

Great playing! Really swings.

[@madarm4401]

cant believe someone disliked this, great effort man you were really on point and yes the trading is brilliant, what an incredible drummer philly joe was.

[@Jazzleadsheets0]

The drum heads probably are 50 years old, (haha) and they are not my drums. My drums have much newer heads. The kit belongs to Don Sickler, and they live at his studio in NYC. There are vintage Slingerland's that were givin to him by T.S. Monk (Thelonious Monk's son and a great drummer). They are definitely worn down, but they have been played by almost every great jazz drummer in the last 30 years, too many to name, so at least in the worn out heads lives some tradition...

[@angelgroover]

Beautiful playing by Evan, thank you, loved watching him.

[@MegaLJ3]

Great job. I'm glad to see the younger generation keeping this style of music alive.You did an excellent presentation.

[@mickdrummer15]

You emulated Philly's sound very effectively. Even the snare sounds pretty much identical :)

[@stevesmith4673]

Damn, you play great! Your sound and feel is so (for lack of a better phrase) authentic and hip! Outstanding!

[@Jazzleadsheets0]

Thanks for all of the positive feedback everyone! I realize there are alot of questions here so I'm going to go through and answer some of them. By the way, a new one is coming up as we speak. Thanks,-Evan

[@Forte911]

[@spigots8]

Well done.great performance

[@rtblues]

Hey, great job on this Epic track. I really am impressed by this drummer, his attention to detail, timing and feel. Wow, jazz does have a future! Great playing man!

[@peterwhitford3819]

Great work!

[@paintsaint10]

[@longfade]

Freaking killing it.

[@dinospumoni663]

Damn you have great accuracy, the wear on the heads is centered and grouped really tightly.

[@hmsrevenge]

this is awesome

[@2utheo]

[@clarkewi]

Love it.

[@richiehenrydrums]

[@Jazzleadsheets0]

Thanks man, been slacking a bit, but more to come!

[@roberto3582]

very good job man.

[@stylerprofyler]

I'm right there with you, bro.

[@howycwap]

He likes the sound that is all that is important. He does not care about what some guy on the youtube comments says about his dirty drumheads. Its his opinion that matters

[@cpomp99]

this is very nice my man!

[@Jazzleadsheets0]

on the side column there is a box to check that says "PJJ Drum Transcription" that one is the drum solo, the other's are just lead sheets.

[@edmarplays]

Nice, nice, nice!

[@Jazzleadsheets0]

20" Bosphorus (super thin, 2 riviets), 18" Spizzichino (2 rivets), 13" old A's

[@xeno9th]

[@dubhayden]

[@Jazzleadsheets0]

Old World, New Imports - Hank Mobley coming up soon!

[@kfujimotojp]

Cool !!

[@impolitikful]

NICE

[@rhs102857]

What's that sweet ride you're using? Great job!

[@JamesMinerTattoo]

Im sorry but I don't see where the transcripts are on the website. excellent playing! I want to learn this.

[@clarkewi]

Gorgeous playing. I just purchased a book called "The Philly Joe Jones Solo Book" and am having difficulty with the transcriptions. Can I hire you to do that? If so what would you charge. Cheers.

[@dilemastronautaandresjimen8714]

excellent JOb Bro!

[@luiszuluaga6575]

Swingin’ 😸👍🏼🥁

[@scobian80]

nice!

[@humbledrumah]

really nice playing brotha, where did you learn to traditional grip with the ring finger/pinky involved...? to each his/her own...i was just curious. peace~

[@richardgification]

SHIT THAT WAS OUTSTANDING.

[@MrLizard95]

great job. how many grams and size is the ride cymbal?

[@Etwizzy99]

I sense sarcasm in this post, correct me if I'm wrong. But the heads and the "tin can" drum sound are as much about a musical drum tone as they are about the feel of the stick on the head. Perhaps you prefer the rounded, dead sound of heavily muted drum heads and the elementary stylings of (most) modern pop and rock drummers. To each his own.

[@XWiseXGuy]

This was good and all, but would it kill you to get new heads?

[@Raphaelzis]

why? they sound great, no matter how they look.

[@Jazzleadsheets0]

They are all REMO Weather King Diplomat Batter - but are probably 40+ years old

[@OwrKeeng]

Holy fuck, I wish this was free.

[@Mike-qy9zf]

Fun fact: The only way to achieve this sound is never ever change your drum heads.

[@samm1809]

Do you have any issue with the heads staying in tune when they get that old?

[@letebaguere]

holy fucking shit this is awesome

[@LixinQin]

awesome! how did you record your drums?

[@ei3170]

Philly

[@realcucus]

supperb

[@davidmartin6959]

its calfskin ?

[@sebasmontreux]

Hi jazz leadsheets, i had a problem trying to buy this transcription... there's an error order, my transaction has been declined because i don't know what is the coupon code!! Help me!

[@CANIMALEDETTI]

Excuse me, what kind of cymbals are there?

[@mmmmmdonut]

dig, dig, DIG!!!

[@zenbooter]

these are giants who play polished chrome time

[@Johnnycdrums]

Subbed. And I didn't even check your page, yet.

[@jazclarinetist]

Dude, this is badddddd!

[@paradidd]

Jason Briggs you just don't get it..

[@intrepidpooch]

Agreed, that guy is clueless.

[@JohnDoe-hq1hk]

It's ok to change your drum heads sometimes

[@mariorossipuzza]

+Pickles do you think it sounds awful? i don't

[@JohnDoe-hq1hk]

they don't sound awful OR great to me, but they do look ancient and filthy.

[@yimmkins9016]

+Josh Smith HA! yea clean them atleast. Sounds great though!!

[@Apacolyptic]

+Josh Smith they do look that way, and I LOVE IT

[@rtblues]

And you missed the point entirely. Go clean your own drums, this dude in the video be jamming!

[@raisstudioproduction6988]

Что с пластиками???(((

[@Jazzleadsheets0]

Yeah, they are much harder to tune when they're old, but because they are more 'dead' sounding the tuning doesn't seem to matter as much as with a brand new head

[@Jazzleadsheets0]

In my opinion, vintage drums sound better...but not vintage heads. They wear out and no longer carry as full a sound. A couple people who knew Philly Joe and saw him have told me that he put a new snare drum head on every time he played.

[@caniplaydrumsforyou]

No chance Philly did that

[@mysticgeneie4668]

How ignorant.

[@久良岐野次郎]

左手が三連符には速く、８分音符には遅いという、難しいテンポ。

[@DouglasShibata1]

lol

[@ForTrav516]

think ya need some new heads there bud

[@Etwizzy99]

So why do people drive classic cars?

[@JoKKats]

Totally disagree..music is in everyone's soul and heart,,not in sheet music..

[@benjamindady4366]

Jo K. Kats idiot

[@JoKKats]

@@benjamindady4366 fuck you..i have the right to express myself..

[@davidromeo3088]

@@JoKKats I agree with you on that statement. I don't agree with playing transcriptions unless i wrote them myself, because sheet music can't capture everything that's happening in their musical statements. Doing it myself allows me hear every note played and understand the importance of every dynamic and sound that goes with it. But if you aren't going to transcribe and play along to what you like then you'll never develop as strong as the greats.

[@greatjblnut]

Probably a Travis Barker fan...

[@Michael-iv7rd]

Sounds stiff. Like hes playing written music. Not from the soul

[@Chris-vr8cd]

bro just change your heads already

[@canalrandom7912]

No, that's what gives this specific vintage sound

[@ForTrav516]

why do you cut your hair, or brouch your teeth, or go to the docter? it's all apart of healthy drums, aswell as enhancing, or not- enhancing the sound of to drum itself
