Louie Bellson at Drummers World – mid 1980s
One of the nicest guys in the business, Louie Bellson gracing Drummers World with his presence was an honor. The pioneer of double bass drumming, he had remarkable hands as well as feet. His recording of “Skin Deep” with Duke Ellington will always remain a classic lesson in drumming. In addition, his books on reading and odd times are studied by all intrumentalists and remain very relevant.
