      Buddy Rich was a magnificent jazz drummer. He had his own orchestra where he played his proIonged incredible solos. I was just disappointed when he chose to disparage Ringo Starr. The Beatles were a pop/rock band trying to make top 40 hits. Drum solos weren't the priority.

      There one video out there where Buddy gets off his seat and walks around his kit, playing on the cymbal stands and drum hardware and everything else around him, then completes the circle path around his drums and sits back down, never missing a beat the whole time. The man is a master among masters.

    I was a drummer and while many are impressed with Buddy's speed I was always impressed with his accuracy. Look at his handwork under the hi-hat when he does the hi-hat work -- amazing control.
    If you want to sample what 2 legendary drummers listened to (Buddy Rich & Gene Krupa) from the early 1930s listen to both the studio band recording & live version of Chick Webb's drum solo on "Liza." Both are on TH-cam...no images but you can hear the mastery.
    He was a hunchback who had his traps specially manufactured for him. Remember that in his day they didn't have fancy drums like today but listen to the skill this giant had. There weren't many before him.
    He also discovered Ella Fitzgerald.
    It's great that you're open to listening to some vintage superb musicians. It all had to start somewhere. (Listen to the drums on the King Crimson track "21st Century Schizoid Man," from "In the Court of the Crimson King." That drummer is Mike Giles -- he probably started the whole progressive rock style since no one drummed like him in 1969). You don't have to review it -- just enjoy it privately.

    I played snare drum in the Palmetto High School band (State Champion Marching Band three years running). Our band director took the percussion section to see Buddy Rich for a drum clinic in Greenville, SC around 1970. Our first chair drummer, who played in a rock band, asked Rich if he could do rock drum solos. He did a one-handed solo that would be the envy of any rock and roll drummer. We also went to a clinic given by Gene Krupa who was also amazing.

At the concert I attended, he soloed for almost 20 MINUTES on that tune. He started playing professionally in the 1930's and was playing until shortly before his death in 1987.

    You should read his Biography called Traps the Boy Wonder written by his close friend jazz vocalist Mel Torme. In it Mel tells the story of Buddy's life. Buddy parents were vaudeville performers and took Buddy on the road with them. When Buddy was eighteen months old he was sitting on the stage while his parents were rehearsing. The drummer in the band gave Buddy a pair of sticks to amuse himself and Buddy tapped in time with the band. They decided to make him part of the act. Decades later in the 1950's Buddy was interviewed by Modern Drummer magazine and was asked how often he practiced. He answered "Practice? What for? If I've something in my head and I can't get it in 20 minutes, what difference is 3 hours or 3 days gonna make?' They say he never played any song exactly the same way twice. In the 70's he was asked if there were any young, up and coming drummers he liked and he said "Yeah I like that kid from Chicago. Danny what's his name" That was Danny Seraphine he was talking about. If you want a stellar example of Danny's work listen to "Make Me Smile" on Chicago's debut album. When it comes to drumming, next to Buddy, lets face it, we're all playing waffle ball.

Rich was the drummer for The Tommy Dorsey Band during WW2 and there are some great recordings of him at that time with Frank Sinatra. The greatest drum solo I've seen him do was recorded by the BBC in 1969 at a venue called The Talk of the Town . It is his West Side Story Medley and it is staggeringly brilliant.

      Since Buddy passed away, Neil Peart was the GOAT. Now that Neil has passed, who would you say is the living best drummer in the world?

      That’s a really good question, my first thoughts are Billy Cobham , Steve Gadd , Vinnie Colaiuta , Steward Copland , Mike Portnoy , Jeff Campitelli
      Honestly I’m not real familiar with a lot of the young new drummers coming up and there’s probably some spectacular ones that I just don’t know about but really good question to ask. Thanks.

    I do believe that Neil Peart loved Buddy, as he included a clip of him in his own solo... Excellent choice, man!

    If you want to go OLD school, check out Gene Krupa and don't forget Graham Lear from Santana's Moonflower album. He nailed the Soul Sacrifice solo.

    Buddy was 65??? when he played this. It would be exhausting for a man half that age. The best ever, hands down- no pun intended.

    I'm 63, and as a kid if I saw that Buddy would be on Johnny Carson, I'd stay up late EVERY Time to see him. I love Bonham and others, but I think He's the GOAT, bar none.

    I saw Buddy at a club in Upstate New York back in 1978 (I was 16 and got into the club using my cousins drivers license - this is important to the story). An older couple got up and started dancing and Buddy stops and told them "This is a concert. The American Legion hall is down the street." I shout out "Play Brainwashed." and Buddy responds "Shut up kid. I don't do requests." He pauses, squints his eyes and says "How did you get in here kid? You look like your balls haven't dropped yet." The crowd starts laughing. Being insulted by Buddy Rich was the biggest honor of my young life.

    Growing up as a child drummer I wanted two things. Have a Ludwig trap set and play them like Buddy Rich. When Buddy performed on the Johnny Carson Show I always made sure to ask my parents for permission to stay up past my bedtime so I could see my idol.

    All drummers today try to emulate drummers who've had a lot to learn from this. Yet so many years later, Buddy is still lightning fast and highly regarded.

    Loved your reaction. Had the fortunate experience of seeing Buddy Rich perform at The Monterrey Jazz Festival in 1972. He did a drum duel with Elvin Jones if I'm not mistaken. Awesome to watch and hear those guys. There's a video on TH-cam of a young Buddy from 1942 in the movie "Ship Ahoy" where he drums while the dancer Eleanor Powell tap dances and does acrobatics, along with Bert Lahr and Red Skelton singing the song "Tallulah". Very entertaining scene.

  • @nathans3241

    Of all the drummers I've heard in my life, Buddy Rich is the greatest. He comes from the big band era of the 1940's. He can turn a drum kit into a one piece orchestra.

  • @justjack0715
    @justjack0715 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Simply the best there ever was and will ever be. I had the pleasure of seeing him live 3 times in the 70's. His speed, control and agility has never been matched to this day. There's a bevy of close seconds but none compare to this man. Oh, he's probably in his late 50's here and wearing a suit and tie to boot. 😳

  • @827dusty
    @827dusty หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    regardless of generation, Buddy Rich was admired and looked up to by John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) and Niel Peart(Rush) two of the greatest Rock Drummers ever, if not the best. Another great from the past, was Gene Krupa. These guys are icons, just as Bruce Lee is to Kung Fu, or Jimi Hendrix is to guitar playing. Thanks for playing this kind of stuff.

    I saw Buddy live once.
    Also got to see Louie Bellson live. He was great also. Played part of his solo with wooden spoon. Like the kind you would cook with.
    I feel kinda lucky. I mean I’ve seen Sinatra and I’ve seen Eminem live. That’s a crazy range.

    Hehe, one of those times I get to thoroughly enjoy a reaction and your comments after as a musician and fully love it. And I've always liked the reactions and commented but this is one of those that's right up your alley and you ramp up the musician relation to it, which is the way I listen to and identify with anything everything all the time. That was really fun.
    I think I caught him switching out of trad grip a few times, but mostly he stayed there, but man he's just mind-blowing. So many drummers idolize him.
