Glad you're motivated. To me it's just chaotic doubles' date=' triples, and some foot thrown in.[/quote']

 

Agreed, but when you watch it all the way through, you will see where he speeds it up, plays inside the open hats, on the bell, on the bottom cymbal and even uses the stand at some point, I didn't say it was perfect, just was very creative, especially when you consider it's JUST the high hats, no other drums. I just liked it because it was different, outside the norm and not the same "Chick-Sound" or "Slurpy" hats we mostly hear. ;-)

True. Mostly what it is, is Buddy Rich, Louie Bellson and asstd others already had that routine patented as early as the 40s and 50s. Being known soloists, their sticking was clean and precise and more often than not, in perfect swing time. Not to demean anybody good enough for Ellington mind you. Just saying, when it's chops, it better be hot.
