From the 1989 HISTORY OF JAZZ DRUMS radio broadcasts, legendary jazz drummer Mel Lewis discusses jazz drummers, their techniques/styles, gear, their bands, etc.
I listened, learned and was fascinated to hear Mel's first hand/candid perspectives.

Drummers discussed includ Buddy Rich, Roy Hanes, Tiny Kahn, Dave Tough (there were more but I couldn't find any on YT yet).

The link below is about Buddy Rich--the other drummer segments mentioned above can be found in the YT margins.

Interesting video. I'd really like to know more about Chick Webb and then go back further to Dixieland jazz in New Orleans with Papa Jack Laine, Tony Sbarbaro, etc.
