That is an amazing clip. This has to be the first (and only...??) time the speed bag has been used during a hollywood musical bit. At least it's the first one I've ever seen. To my ears the bag beat was not really synced to the beat of the music but I imagine at the time it was the visual image of Joe Louis hitting the bag in a movie. On the other hand the Tap Dancing was fantastic. In my next life I want to learn to do that.
Great find, Juxt.Keep 'em coming!Speed Bag

As for the tap dancing. Simply amazing. As a kid, I would stay up late on weekends and watch all those old B&W musicals. Ditto, Alan... I would love to come back in another life and tap dance — AND play drums!

Using any or all of those styles dancing between various speed bags would be an awesome display of foot and hand dancing. That would be a demo worthy of America's got talent. The mix of dance moves and baggin' would be unheard of. Imagine someone doing the charleston steps or clogging while hitting the speed bag. It cracks me up thinking about that, or dual baggers, hitting in sync, then bustin' loose to a dual charleston step, then back to baggin. The crowd would go nuts.

Just simple basic rhythm, straight time punching - and MsDeville steps starts throwing a few dharleston steps, Nova looks at her and joins in, they step back do some pairs charleston, They come over to me, I look at them, scratch my head and break into so other dance style, then they join in, we change bags and go back to punching.
There's a lot of ways this could play out but it could be hilarious as well as show case rhythm, dancing, bagging, and throw props to all era's of music and dance. But the bag is present during all of it.
It would take a better dancer than me to pull this off, but I heard MsDeville can really cut a rug and Nova may have helped Mr Wiggles hone his moves.
I'm just sayin.....Speed Bag

Originally posted by Speedbag View PostYou gotta admit, a couple of two or three people punch drumming to some big band tunes, then stepping back to do solo and pairs charleston, then back to the bags, would be a scream...

Okay, I'll start workin' on some Charlston footwork...

You know, Alan, it would be kinda fun to incorporate some dancing with the punching of the bag.
There's no speed-bagging in this clip, but he does execute a great elbow punch at :38.
And, here's one with Eleanor Powell and Astaire...
Whadda ya say we transform Donnie's Real Gymm into a punch-drumming/tap-dancing stage next summer! We could do something really spectacular on that spiral staircase, don't ya think...

Uh oh! Who's been telling you stories about my dancing abilities, Alan? Has Trainer Raul been secretly releasing my video "outtakes"?! I usually leave my dancing segments on the cutting-room floor .

NO, trainer Raul has not been telling on you. I got my info from another source.

You can't tell me that a speed bag wouldn't be killer in this mix.
