    I Believe he was 67 at that time, already 4 heart attacks triple by pass, hernia, parkensons back operation, and once broke his arm and played one handed that very night, He is the greatest drummer ever ,

      Whoa! He held a black belt in karate, from which he fractured his right hand. However, I would appreciate it if you would cite the source (s) of your purported biographical information about the highly esteemed Mr. Rich, who, by the way, was a Marine during World War II. (In my humble opinion, he was *one* of the great drummers of the Twentieth Century, but to assert that he was unequivocally the * greatest* drummer during his decades of performing is an exaggeration. Drummers such as Louis Bellson, Joe Morello, Max Roach, et al. were arguably on par with Buddy, who benefitted greatly from performing innumerable times on Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show." Anyone who disagrees with me should watch the videos of the aforementioned drummers. ( Count Bassie considered Louis Bellson to be the world's greatest musician/drummer, but Louis never declared just how good he was. ) Interestingly, he and Buddy were close friends who had much respect for each other. So, in conclusion, Buddy Rich was not in a class all by himself, except for one difference from his peers: He had a matchless amount of energy, of drive, which enabled him to perform at a superhuman level well into his sixties. His death was a significant loss to the world of great Twentieth Century drummers.

However eary on he asked me who my favoute drummer was GEne kruper said I.GEne made solo drumming famouse the came RIck (they played togethet and were life long friends and admirered one another So did all the other drummers and they learned things from one another,but of all. Those drummers they all will point to RIch as the best of them. Anyway you should study him and your favorites ,Rich was well loved by all those guys had a wicked sense of humor was humble at times but also knew how good he was,which did not stop him from truly admirering other drummers .IF you wish keep looking at buddy rich video and you will find everything mentioned of what IAlready said Stephen

    I was lucky to see Buddy Rich in concert at Wolftrap in Virginia when I was about 10 years old. I was too young to really understand the music I was hearing, but not too young to recognize the excellence. I will never forget it. Without knowing, it lead me to my love of drumming.....John Bonham, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon. Neil Pert, and on and on. Going back to the years when Buddy Rich was in his prime, I would also recommend Gene Krupa........Sing Sing Sing.......and of course, Big Noise from Winetka. 😎

I Dare you to keep working when you think you are having a stroke ? Some people commit themselves to their craft no matter what ! If you are a performer then your craft is to perform ! If you are leading a band , like he was that night , you do what ever it takes ! Also , his performance that night proved that he is the greatest drummer of all time , with or without a HEART ATTACK ! People want to discount him on the basis that he is only famous for the Heart Attack video . Watch his videos and you will quickly learn just how good this man was !

I think the Hague solo is far better and more impressive. I was lucky enough to see him live in 1968. I met him too and got his autograph. My dad had played briefly with Tommy Dorsey during WWII.

    Buddy Rich born in 1917. He’s one year younger than my mother. The solo was recorded and filmed in 1974 that means he was 57 years old. It is sad he never had a childhood. His birth was painful because he was playing drums when he was born.
    What is Rich had a habit of growling when he played. You don’t hear him in this, but I’m sure he was growling.

    Buddy was born in 1918 to vaudeville parents and passed away one year after the 1986 recording. As a child, he was the second highest paid performer in the world after Jackie Coogan. It is believed that he was having a heart attack during the show. He actually had a brain tumor which caused his death. I'm a super fan of BR and have seen him in person in the 70's.

    He was born in 1914. That looks like it was in the 80s. He started drumming at age 2 - yes, 2 - played in big bands, then had his own, which I’m guessing that was his band. Sounded like the end of West Side Story. Someone said in the comments he actually suffered a heart attack during that performance. If true, may be able to date it that way! There are tons of videos on TH-cam. Many wonderful performances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. One of my favs is a performance with Mel Torme on the Merv Griffin Show which was an afternoon talk show. You do know who Mel Torme is, don’t you? It’s unbelievable to me the limited lives some musicians have. How could you have never seen Buddy Rich? You need to travel back in time some and expand your universe!

    Basically you can grab the high hat with your left hand opening and closing it, and if you have a stick in your hand of course when you close it, it makes a tap. The difference with Buddy is that he’s just faster than anybody else who ever lived.
