The Return of the Joe Farnsworth vs. Kenny Washington Drum Battle



Drummers Joe Farnsworth and Kenny Washington recently returned to New York City's Smoke Jazz Club to engage in yet another "percussion discussion" of epic proportions. Recalling the classic drum battles of past (most notably the infamous Gretsch Drum Night at Birdland featuring Art Blakey, Philly Joe Jones, Elvin Jones and Charli Persip, among many others) these two drummers celebrate the brotherhood of drumming while also engaging in a little friendly competition as well.

Fortunately for us one patron who was sitting at the bar was keen enough to capture several angles of footage of these two Master drummers in action. Enjoy!
