DESCRIPTION:
This is the famous song Caravan that so many jazz drummers have done in the past. Drummers like Gene Krupa,Buddy Rich,Louie Bellson,Art Blakey,Max Roach,Mel Lewis,Jo Jones,Jeff Hamilton,Shelly Manne,Sonny Payne and so many others have done this song in their own way. So I wanted to to pay tribute to all of these great jazz drummers who I have learned from all of my life. This is from a concert I did for the Sarasota Jazz Club with my Quartet. Starting the song on piano is my very good friend Tony Castellano Jr. The one and only Franco Marino is on tenor sax. My main man on bass is Bruce Wallace. On this concert I decided to use my 1968 Slingerland Modern Jazz Outfit No.9N like in the Slingerland 1968 catalog. This has the 14x20 inch bass drum,8x12 tom,14x14 floor,and I used the 1976 Slingerland TDR 10 lug snare drum. These drums has the 3 ply shell with the solid maple reenforcing hoops. One of my favorite drumsets to play on for jazz.because it has a great open sound which is so clear to hear. For more info about me,go to kenloomer.com.
