Endless drums, a revolution that takes the lead role
A Max Roach studio album released on the Atlantic label in 1966. Produced by Arif Mardin.
The drum solos on tracks such as "The Drum Also Waltzes" are particularly praised for their ambitious melodic development of rhythmic patterns, and are the reason why Roach is known for "making the drums function perfectly as a solo instrument." With its superb melodic and well-planned structure, this is a masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of hard bop and post-bop.
