Slick Philly Joe always loved to have the opportunity to switch from sticks to brushes and vice versa. From my own personal experience playing with him, I remember how we musicians would marvel at his ability to make those transitions seamlessly. We would look back at him in astonishment, observing his devilish smile because he knew we had no idea how he made the change. Philly Joe Jones gets my vote as slickest drummer of all time!
