    One of the very very few drummers that Buddy Rich admired! Carl is a legend!

    Carl's ability to accelerate his rolls in short bursts has always been super impressive.

    I've listened to Carl my whole adult life, met him a few times, and really know his stuff, technique, etc. He is the only drummer I have ever heard who is better at age 60 than when he was in his 20s and 30s. That's really hard when drumming is so physical. He's not just an inspiration as a drummer--he is an inspiration as a person. I love the guy.

      You need to listen to some of buddy riches solos, he played a lot faster than Carl and he was 67 years old then , but I do agree, not many drummers can play as fast as Carl can at 60 😊👍

    For cryin' out loud. Who could criticize this drum solo. For sure, there are many other great drummers who have played fantastic solos. But this is an amazing fucking solo, regardless of age. If it was a 20 year old it would still be great. There are things in this solo that are unreal. Just fucking enjoy it.

  • @newvultraz

    That Palmer can still play this fast and this hard at 64 means that his technique (maybe not his tempo) has to be absolutely spot-on. All drummers should take notes.

      In the mid 70s, ELP played a very agressive, live version of Tarkus. Tarkus is a song that off the studio album I never liked. The live album "Welcome Back my friends......." caught this mid 70s performance of Tarkus and it's a BEAST of a song. I would say there are no three humans that you could put together who could do what they did. Carl Palmer is hitting and sustaining speeds of around 500 bpm on the hi-hat, with one hand, and in the middle of the song where Keith is playing that weird hand held synth and he's creating a very loud and once again very aggressive sounds with that device, Carl is going around the drum kit, close to 1000 bpm. Because of how loud the synth is during that part, it's hard to hear what Carl is doing. I wish the audio team would have captured that whole concert better, because when I think of "Greatest Show, in heaven hell and Earth", I think of that version of Tarkus. The drumming is amazing, the keyboard playing is out of this world, and Greg's vocals and very melodic guitar solos along with his bass playing are all just amazing.

      With ELP, he HAD to be among the most versatile of percussionists. Their material, between Keith's speed keyboard, Keith's constrained keyboard, and Greg's ballads, needed every style of drumming imaginable.

      No, and statistically, your comment is just as ridiculous as the other type. Maybe h works against you..... and Carl.
      His tempo is horrible.
      He overplays.
      He plays like a high school band drummer on cocaine.
      His ego is slightly off
      He has the stamina of a lion
      And fit ELP in its place in history. I watched him from behind, and on stage several
      times. He was inspeitational ..but that best list and the numbers and criteria .. no way.

    That's why he's Carl Palmer! Amazing musician/performer. He give's his all. It's more than enough.

    I don't care what people say about other drummers. You can judge them different ways. Carl Palmer has been making 5 minute drum solos since the mid 1970s, and I listen intently to them every time I hear them. He is the ONLY drummer that does this to me, so regardless of style or any other way a person might judge a drummer, to me he is no. 1 at the drum solo, and has been for 50 years.

    One of the great regrets of my life that I never saw ELP live!

      Mine, too! But I was fortunate enough to see Carl & ELP Legacy band in March 2018 and OMGosh...he is SOOOO amazing!!! He had just turned 68 the week before but hasn't slowed down...still plays his heart out & with such incredible energy and speed!!! He's the BEST! And his 2 guitarists are incredible, too.
