R.I.P. Louie Bellson
Posted by isecore on 28th May 2009
I just found out that Louie Bellson kicked the bucket back in February. He was 84 years old, so it wasn’t exactly a surprise. I was a fan of his drumming, and wrote an article about him juxtaposing him to another favorite drummer of mine (Pete Sandoval of Morbid Angel) back before I rebooted my blog.
So, I hope Louie is drumming in heaven. Preferably doing drum-battles with Buddy Rich and handing Buddys ass to him.
Enjoy this incredibly tight and fluid solo by Louie from when he was on Johnny Carsons show some twenty years ago.
