GREAT DRUMMERS part 1

This is the first part of a line-up of live footage samples from the greatest drummers that brought great rhythm joy to everybody's life. It's basically centered on Jazz, but not exclusively, and with a chronological display, wherever it was possible, due to the existance of filmed material. The modern drumset was completed and received the designation of "jazz drums" by the 20's, when the hi-hat pedal system and its pair of cymbals (opposed to each other) was invented. Not only the 'Hi-Hat' name, but also the french designation for that mechanism, "Charleston", also shows a clear reference to the period of the 'roaring twenties', when the drums achieved its actual configuration, and are used in Pop, Rock, Soul, Rhythm'n Blues, Blues, and many musical styles, besides Jazz.
