- Louie Bellson sits in. Joe demonstrates odd time signatures, left hand technique & buzz roll, brushes, waltz rhythms, latin rhythms, more. Joe and Louie trade fours.

He was the best. Krupa was the pioneer. Rich was the showman. Joe was the most melodic and rhythmic. Absolute master of all times. I never stop listening to the original Dave Brubeck Quartet.
Shelly Manne.
i agree, iv always felt morello was the best, he is the thinking mans drummer
Philip Miller.
His hand technique was absolutely impeccable. *IMPECCABLE.*
Many people think it's Buddy, but Joe was the best - in the world of Jazz.
Listening to John Bonham made me a fan of Joe Morello
"I used to be able to do it when I was like 22, but sorry, I'm 27 so...". A classy gentleman with amazing talent, a great sense of humor, and humility.
When I began to study percussion, Joe became one of my drumming heroes. In my twenties I was lucky enough to be able to study with Joe, and I studied with him for almost thirteen years. Joe was always kind and I'll always cherish the stories he shared about being on the road, in the studio, or crossing paths with other greats. Not only was he a master, but he was a great human being. He is missed. Thanks for sharing thus clip.
He is a real nice guy and such talent in the drumming world. He seems eager to share is knowledge.............I like that in a drummer. RIP Joe. I miss you.
I'd like to shake your hand
What a very lucky guy. Like meeting Mickey Mantle.
Joe is one of the all time greats. I know people know him, but I still think he doesn't get the credit he deserves. Still inspiring people to this day, Thanks Joe!!!
One of the best drummers to ever live!!
100%
2 of the very best here..
Joe and Louie...
Real talk
Master at work, sorry to see that these guys are gone.
Whoever got lucky enough to attend this should be forever grateful what an awesome display of two legends
Joe Morello: considered by many, including myself, to be the GREATEST drummer ever.
People rave about Buddy, but I'd rather listen to Joe - technique and musicality perfectly combined.
I love this man like a brother. One of my biggest honors was Joe taking the time to call me on the phone, around the same time (1990-92 thereabouts). Like Gene & Louie, he was one of the kindest and most generous people God ever blessed us with.
What a priceless video; he’s gone but will never be forgotten...
I see a lot of guys here who have studied with Joe, those of us who didn't are EXTREMELY jealous of all of you, myself included. :-) I hope, if you have students of your own, that you pass on what you've learned from him, not just the technical aspect of drumming but also the humor and graciousness of life that he exhibited.
In addition to all that talent, he shows modesty, humility and only positive remarks about other drummers. He would be the guy I would love to share a few beers with and just laugh while enjoying his company.
It always comes back To “Stick Control” & “Syncopation”
What a privilege to see two masters together. Both incredible players AND really nice, friendly, and helpful drummers. Talk about the greatest generation!
Such mutual respect...
When I heard Take Five for the 1st time in my life on the radio in my car..back in the 90's.(tough i didn't like jazz @the time..)..I was blown away,..cranked up the volume and immediately wanted to know ,the name of the song and especially who that drummer was...now I know..R.I.P. great master..Mr.Joe Morello..
I know just what you mean. From the first few bars you can tell a storm is coming your way.
One of THE best as far as I'm concerned... my favorite drummer!
This takes me back to my studies with Joe in the mid 80's. He used to crack me up all the time to the point where I had to often ask him to stop just so I could demonstrate that I actually practiced the previous lesson. Joe passed in 2011 while I was in San Francisco training for a new job . Sadly I could not attend the funeral and was very bummed by that fact. An extremely warm generous human being and master musician. I miss him very much.
The master.. my first inspiration.. the beautiful man.. Death can't touch this.. Joe is alive and well in the minds of millions.
What a hip sense of humor. Very funny guy. So influential to many drummers. A real pioneer.
Went to one of Joe's clinics when I was in7th or8th grade circa mid 60s I could not believe how smooth how fast I am now almost 70 still play still Im.pressed
Such beautiful touch - He had great hand , superb dexterity
A drumming genus and a great person.
I was fortunate enough to have studied underneath this gentleman at Glenn Webber school of percussion in East Orange, New Jersey. When I was a touring drummer, I was able to have my schedule book a few lessons a year with Joe and he was such a great human being, as well as teacher, and said it straight out, didn’t hold anything back, and always gave an honest opinion
My very first jazz album was "Dave Brubeck's Greatest Hits" a CBS record. Ths was way back in
1968.Definetely Joe became my
hero to this day. I'm an active drummer for almost 54 years straight.
One of the greatest...Take 5 drumming is special
The brotherhood between Joe & Louie is fantastic here!! This is a great video!

This is gold! Thank you for posting!
I love his tight shirt lol. Joe was just a really classy guy.
So great and yet so humble, such a great man.
Legend. Master. Amazing.
I'd love to sit down for an afternoon, have a cup of tea with him and just listen to all his stories. Not just what he has to say, but the wonderful way that he expresses himself. He and Bernard Purdie are like the drumming grandfathers I never had...
I'm just passing this along cause I think it might offer some insight to what Joe means when he refers to Thematically. I got this from the Wikipedia article on Joe. Joe started on Violin at the age of 6. He had his Debut at age 9, playing the Mendelsohn Violin concerto with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which he reprised at age ten. He then saw Heifetz in concert and knew that he could never attain that level of playing so he switched to Drums. The fact that he could start at 6 (which is consider "Late") and then play the Mendelsohn three years later with a World Class Symphony, and then get called back (so it wasn't just a fluke) is quite phenomenal in my mind.
Look what a class act he is, the center of attention, when he gladly brings attention to Louie Bellson instead. How much could be learned from this alone? We have mostly lost this kind of instant, real, true graciousness. From another era, and we need it back. When we have it back, we will no longer tolerate a president who mocks the disabled, that's for certain. Not for an instant.

Are you on a Higher level of Conciousnes?...or just a Reprobate to mis-interpret what the President meant?.//Left to his own devices...DJT could probably keep pretty good time, et al!
This is amazing! Thank you so much!
Thank you SO much for uploading this!!! Molto grazie!!
Thanks so much John for publishing this video. I enjoyed it very much, love Joe Morello
he was extraordinary
Thank you for posting this gem.
love this video, found a new interest in joes musicial abilities. my first knowledge of this genius.
wow thanks for posting. I really enjoyed to see Joe Morello. One of the Great Drummers of all time. love his sense of humor and such a nice person. Missed . Never forgotten. R.I.P Joe
I assist to a Drum Clinic with him and had a great performance !
What an awesome and humble guy!!
I'm glad I had the opportunity to study with Joe. I smiled the whole way through this video. He was fun just to hangout with.
42:05 cracked me up. Joe was a wonderfully funny man. i had the privilege of an hour's lesson with him in the mid noughties. As well as him turning my drumming ideas around, he made me laugh so hard with his humour and accurate impressions. His Freddie Gruber was spot on!
Joe was not a big FRED GRUBER fan but so what Joe Murillo was not perfect either
Thanks for posting recording this Joe Morello clinic with the human side shining bright...loved the Loue Bellson improve with Joe Morello.God bless you for this video share
Wow!!!!! What a great drum clinic this is, informative and fun, what a cool guy.
great video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, John! As an old fan of Joe's (since the mid-'50's), this was (is) great to see. Though I quit playing many years ago, he was my "idol" and greatest influence.
I love the humility between the two!
I met Louis Bellson when I was 18 years old in Denver, Colorado. He was playing (with Matt Catingub) at The Moulin Rouge. I approached Mr Bellson on the set break and, and after telling him that I was a drummer and a great fan he explains that he is trying out a new Zildjian Ping Ride and he asks me how it sounds! I was stunned for a few seconds when I realized he was staring at me waiting for my reply: he actually wanted to know what I thought! A lesson in class and civility... how a super star conducts themselves... He was so humble and charming ... What a blessing he was, and continues to be in spirit and on record, to the world of music.
Beautiful both. RIP
A magical moment was when Joe quickly tested his snare drum at the Royal Festival Hall, London just before the Dave Brubeck group walked on stage.That snare drum sounded out of this world. Britain soon found out about his drum mastery after that concert.
Sometimes I love the TUBE. Soo much
Stumbled on this one
Probably cause I checked him out of few times last month
THIS IS SO GREAT
You made my day with this upload
Thnx a lot
Joe made it so easy for me to understand hand mechanics in drumming.
He said it's not easy finding a good teacher, I unfortunately missed him in NJ as a student, he passed but thankfully CZcams videos are an archive of knowledge of the teachers like Joe Morello.
He did shout out a lot of drummers...Check em out.
Such a nice guy and a great drummer. I'm so happy I got to meet Louis , buddy rich, Tony williams,. Buddy Rich. Tony Williams took his arm and put it around me and said practice and you'll be like me someday. Buddy Rich gave me passes to his second show in a high school. Louie bellson let me sit on is drum set. Just class act drummers. Thank you so much all of you for your inspiration.Rock longo facebook
28:00 "Oh I can't do that one handed thing." *does one handed thing* "Oh that's no big deal." xD
Genius drummer
What they called a left hand "buzz roll" is a gift from God that kicks in when he is caught up in a groove. Its not something mechanical as some were assuming... Something that could be produced by demand of another. I think it was something possibly sacred to Joe, and he did not want to exploit it. Joe was a born again Christian. Many do not know that.
Priceless...
A true nice humble great soul 😘 thank you for your wonderful life
Excellent post!! Thanks
Joe was so funny and humble.
Thank you for posting this incredible video with my favourite to jazz drummers, and my favourite of all time, Joe Morello. I walked out of a Buddy Rich concert, but I would have loved to have seen Joe Morello play live.
I have to ask why in the world would you walk out of a Buddy Rich concert?
@@tonyr2360: yeah, really what an idiot! Guess he probably couldn’t take it the intensity, some people can’t it, upsets their snowflake like view of the world
Every good musician has his/her own era for being " THE BEST"
He is why I started playing drums.
i always new of Joe in my younger years as a drummer to study but it was all about rock in the 70's that took alot of drummers away to grow more but when i started to think about odd time signatures and practice TAKE FIVE was it and it was all about Joe from there on in
Great drummer !!!!!!!!
Joe's the Man!
wow....some many ideas to practice for///well..years. but that thing with the hi hat underneath is a revelation of worlds hitherto unseen.
Love the sound of that kit. It always surprised me that Joe always played with a 22 inch Bass Drum.
Do you know anything about his allegro silver snare drum circa 1998 ? Thanks
A great man.
Joe Morello is a legend. Master drummer.

The best jazz drummer by far for me and that includes Buddy Rich. Also it is no surprise that Joe Morello is the one drummer who bridges trad jazz with rock and punk. No other drummer has this wide ranging effect. Many people think there is jazz and there is rock with no overlap well Joe Morello is the intersection as I hear the style of Joe Morello in rock such as John Bonham in heavy metal from Bill Ward and in punk through drummers like Brooks Wackerman. To top it off unlike Buddy Rich a nice chap too. Anyone who disagrees go and listen to Buddy Rich's bus tapes. I think Joe Morello is the biggest influence in drumming due to its breadth.
misfit I've said before that Buddy had the speed and power and all but I think Joe, who had splendid technique as well, used it in a much more musical/ melodic way. Thus, I'd have to say that Joe is my personal favorite of all time and someone I could dig much more musically speaking than just someone who could simply play impossibly fast. This is absolutely no disrespect to Buddy as I'm a fan of his as well and still listen to him to this day.
Eric Meade I agree. Buddy certainly had the speed but when it comes to power I would say Elvin Jones is or was the most powerful jazz drummer to whom I have listened.
He was John Bonham's influence. Watch Joe's 1962 drum solo Take Five
Mark Stevens I definitely do not disagree and I know the solo well and definitely shades of Moby Dick so Bonham's influence from Joe shines through and the other drummer John borrowed heavily from was Carmine Appice.
You sound like "CURRENT" high school stage band drummer. You have no idea on John's or Carmine's history!
I feel like I heard him say "Louie would back me up" a lot. Does Joe even need that?? For gosh sick he's an amazing drummer... so humble
Be sure to listen to Joe's solo on CASTILIAN DRUMS... on the DAVE BRUBECK AT CARNEGIE HALL CD. Arguably the best drum solo ever. His genius (and sense of humor) are evident in every stroke. Others (e.g., Buddy) may have been flashier, faster, etc... but none better at making music on a drum set.
Indeed one the best drum solos ever. I still really like to hear "Far More Drums" on "Time Further Out" album as well.
It's amazing, I LOVE the dramatic range of it, very quiet to loud back and forth. Most drum solos are 100% every second and don't have the up and down and in and out dynamics of that Carnegie Hall version.
He seems like a real cool guy
Drums sound sweet
Спасибо за видео очень интересно.
I came for the drum technique; I stayed for Joe’s comedy (and of course his drumming).....what a wonderfully funny man.
Awesome 54 minutes maate🤙🙏🤝🦘🇦🇺🍻😎👍
And who was Charlie Watts idol? Joe Morello. There were so many great drummers you've never known or heard. Louie Bellson, Shellie Mann, Art Blakey, Max Roach, Phillie Jo Jones, Roy Haines. Still, Joe was the best.
I met louie at a clinic and seen him at other clinics
Hear three hits and you know it's Joe... like three notes and you know it's Wes.
good ear :D
With Louie Bellson, oh shit!
TOO smooth 😎
Great stuff...my drum teacher took some lessons from Joe and Alan Dawson. You say it right bodywise.
Soul Morella, so Morello, just cannot give up, Dave Brubeck just would not fire this man, his drumming was so Morello!
I met him years ago.
Thank you so much this was in DC??!!
that rolex on Mr Morello's wrist must have been very well wound indeed! I bet that one really was perpetual after years of being literally in the groove with him.
Oh yeah Joe he was like 19 when Paul told Dave it was either him or me. Dave told him well I guess I'll be seeing you. Yeah John Bonham used to lay down at night praying to God he'd wake up his Joe. Fantastic
I can see where John Bonham studied Joes work, I can see so much of Joe in Bonhams work.
Was lucky enough to have had a bit of a relationship w joe and his wife i met joe at a ludwig drum symposium butch miles was there and the best was when butch and joe did a great " drum battle" i recorded it but sadly the tape was stolen in a grab and run robbery so i never had a chance to hear it back wtf.. but yeah joe asked me for a cig, we both lit up in the fn school and talked drums for hours great fun. Id do anything to relive all of that jard to take that both are gone now..that sucks so badly i mean, i loved that style of playing and i dont think theres anyone else playing like that any more..i still do but i no longer have drummers like joe to get inspired by anymore i doubt im alone in that thinking
I heard quite a lot of people were taught privately by Joe morello what a privilege that would have been
Saw him in Halifax with Casey. WOW. Far out and time further out.
Proud to say Ted Reed my drum instructor.
Right from the get-go you know a master is at work...his hands give it away immediately!
For a moment, on first hearing it, I thought the voice at 06:10 was Adam Nussbaum?
