There is an even better Take5 drum solo where the video opens where he starts the drums with his bare hands. And when he played with his bare hands, it fitted in with the music score perfectly. Then he uses an all out assault using traditional grip. You have got t see that one also!

So sweet, Quincy. DBQ was fantastic and Morello driving those different time signatures was sublime. All us drum nerds were fascinated with something other than matching band straight time by the time we hit 7th or 8th grade in the mid-1960s. A neighbor and fellow school drummer used to work on playing different time signatures for hours with Time Out. These guys were the fusion of their era, the Weather Report of the 1960s. I got the chance to see Brubeck in concert with his sons sometime in the mid-1970s. They hit Take Five to open the second set and after a few bars Paul Desmond appeared unannounced from behind the main drape to play with them. The audience roared for a few seconds and then fell silent to listen. It was incredible and near to the last time Desmond played.

Had a brief but wonderful chat after a clinic and he signed my MD cover with him on it. Have watched and analyzed this video many times. Always amazed at how Joe grabs your attention with his solo, then it ends and you wonder how he got to where it’s at. Masterful!!!

With "traditional" grip. Wasn't it more created for military marching drumming? If you look at the angle of the snare drum back during the Revolutionary War. The snare drum was a 16x16. Also angled along side the soldiers left leg. With quite a angle to hit the drum. That being said, to make it comfortable for the left hand to strike the drum......hence "traditional" grip. Placing the stick with two fingers over the stick, palm of hand now almost facing up. It allows for a better strike on the head. That grip then carried over to the "Jazz kit." Regardless of the grip......Joe was an absolute BEAST!!! 🤘🏻💪🏻🥁🥁❤️🥁🥁💪🏻🤘🏻

Where certain emphasis and accents lie, more subtle dynamics, or in this example how Morello kept the the pulse the same when Dave Brubeck went into his rhythmic improvisation so there was something to work off of and not confuse the improvisation- Keep it up! thank you! - Happy King Day -

Ned from Spain. Thanks Quincy for this. I love his hi hat patterns mostly clicking on 1 and 3 but not strictly, his switching to the lighter cymbal for the chorus at 4:01 and starting his solo with the butt end of the sticks. He keeps that right foot hammering out five to the bar to keep him grounded. I saw another clip where his build up to end his solo was a mix of 2 double paradiddles and 2 single paradiddles and then I think he went to fast singles with crashes on the accents. Always amazing to watch Joe and see where Rock legends like John Bonham got their inspiration.

Nice overview, Quincy & thanks for your analysis. I like your comment about grips, traditional vs. matched -"you should use the grip that you feel most comfortable with". So true. A couple of my fellow drummers and I were having this same debate over 60 years ago. I think it makes little if any difference which grip one uses, while many use both at different times. It may depend entirely on what they're playing. I started with "traditional" primarily (and I believe most older marching snare drummers start this way), because of the position of the drum hanging off a single strap, banging your left leg as you marched along. You had to reach over the left side of the drum with your left hand. Modern marching band drummers don't have that kind of challenge or fun.

Wow I missed this video when originally out. It's fantastic! I've listened to Take 5 5 million times and I never knew this iconic song was written by Desmond! Couple of questions: why do you suppose the band played it so much faster live? And why didn't the band vamp while Joe soloed in the live version? So much different. Lastly, from what I've learned Joe was blind and died poor. Charlie Watts helped Joe and his family financially by purchasing some of his drums and gear. Also, Zildjian produced a recreation of the Joe Morello Take 5 Ride (sold exclusively through Memphis Drum shop,)and it's a lovely cymbal, really captures that sound. In the studio version of Take 5 I think Joe's ride was the only cymbal used, no hats even!. Thanks Quincy! I'll be watching this one over a few times. Cheers!

Awesome nuggets you share here Chucky! I'm guessing the live version is faster because that's what bands usually do live in any genre. I think it has something to do with the excitement of the live situation and also they're much more comfortable with the groove by the time they played it live so they prolly naturally wanted to put a little extra edge on it. Thanks for chiming in, no matter how delayed it was:)
