Check out the "Conti Candoli" thread. Stan Levy was an amazing drummer too. I sat looking up at the stage at the Lighthouse jazz club in Hermosa Beach on many a night as a teenager back in the 50's watching Stan's feet and hands work his drum set. Simply amazing drumming. 

Morello had an amazing touch and Desmond an amazing sound.  What a band!

Take 5 is played in the unusual 5/4 time signature, which is difficult to do well, as bdp24 says. Here's an interesting experiment which transforms the song Take 5 into Take 4 (4/4 time) as well as Take 3 (3/4) time.

^^^ Proving that Paul Desmond sounds great at all times. :>)

I attended a drum clinic hosted by Joe Morello, and he was so cool. He played and and spoke about Take 5 with a very good combo.
