CLOSING IN ON CHRISTMAS JAZZ STYLE

I came across this video.. From following someone on the Facebook and they had this video linked.. The drummer has a crazy ass way to play.. A showmanship way...  Kinda a joke yes but he still keeps the beat..

Kind of along the same lines this drummer has a showmanship all his own as well.. I can't fault these drummers that play this way.. It sure is a workout.. Hurts my arms to watch it...

The title of this video caused a bit of a stir on Youtube.. "The greatest female drummer in the world"  really??  Well she is good but how someone gets the title as the greatest in the world is beyond me.. And she is good, no doubt..

That brings us to Hannah Ford, a drummer I just have started to hear about.. In the jazz genre as with most extremely good drummers they start in jazz or end up there.. Jazz is where most really good drummers are judged, it is the art form that counts the most..

Hannah at the  @guitar clinic Atlanta..  Just an amazing bit of drumming here..

I just had to add this last one, after the events of this past Friday this song seems to always pop into my mind when things like that happen..

 Please clean your plate dear
The Lord above can see you
Don't you know people are starving in Korea

Alcohol and razor blades and poison and needles
Kindergarten people, they use them, they need them

The over-indulgent machines were their children
There wasn't a way down on Earth here to cool them
'Cause they looked just like humans
At Kresge's and Woolworth's
But decadent brains were at work to destroy
Brats in batallions were ruling the streets
Saying generation landslide
Closed the gap between them

And I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies
Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies

Militant mothers hiding in their basements
Using pots and pans as thier shields and their helmets

Molotov milk bottles heaved from pink high chairs
While Mother's Lib burned birth certificate papers
Dad gets his allowance from his sonny the dealer
Who's pubic to the world but involved in high finance

Sister's out till five doing banker's son's hours
But she owns a Maserati that's a gift from his father

Stopped at full speed at one hundred miles per hour

The Colgate invisible shield finally got 'em

But I laughed to myself at the men and the ladies

Who never conceived of us billion dollar babies
