@@elident7828 And let's not forget Gene Krupa! That said, I've seen Buddy Rich playing kits twice the size that he used in this show. He had no problem with playing big kits. However, it makes no difference if someone plays a solo like that on a 14-piece kit or a 5-piece kit. The drummer uses what he needs at the time he's playing and disregards the drums he doesn't need. How many drums are in the set at the time doesn't make any difference and certainly doesn't imply how well the drummer plays, one way or the other. In other words, I fail to see the point behind the comment posted by LS-ki9ft. I've had 10 to 15-piece kits most of my adult life and I personally like my drum set to cover those octave ranges. But I knew I didn't need them all and unless I had a specific solo or song in mind, I only actually used about half of them. FWIW
amen. He is FUNNY on the mike douglas show talking about er I will say country music .. Look for it. And his impossible drum solo is crazy. Best drummer ever. I love Bonham for best rock drummer. Again no 100 piece drum set.
@@richpaul8132For show. My Father was a Big band drummer for YEARS and work with some Great People over the years. My Dad Destroyed Gene Krupa 1 Night at a Club called the “Latin Casino” in a Drumming contest. My Dad won, Krupa refused to shake my Fathers hand and My Dad NEVER Forgot that because Gene Krupa was 1 of My Dad’s HEROS so to speak. Besides Buddy Rich there was another Small name Drummer “Irv Cottler” was 1 of the BEST Drummers as Buddy Rich Being the BEST. My Father always used Bass, Snare (1962 Rogers Dyna Sonic), 2 Tom Toms (Floor & Rack), Hi-Hat (1 set), Crash Cymbal & 1 Ride. As the MOST drummers said anything else is a “Overkill” and for Show.
exactly- ..Buddy joked about it- ..but you could tell he took notice of the tempo and roll precision of Johnny's pen- ...most likely Buddy gave Johnny a few free lessons at various Hollywood parties while they were ' shooting the breeze '
In fact, as a drummer myself, I thought Carson did a great job and kept very good timing with that left-hand roll. I think BR may have been a little surprised by the fact that JC was that good! FWIW
Touche`! The '60s was even better -- though the truly significant jazz artists of the day (Mingus, Trans, Miles) were ignored...their music was too esoteric and progressive for the times. Horace, Brubeck and Cannonball fared better.
Buddy was like a machine here. OK, so some people criticise him for being arrogant, but it isn't arrogance for arrogance sake. Buddy was a perfectionist, he always gave his all and he expected nothing less of the people he worked with. He didn't do what he did for the money, or the fame, he did it because he loved jazz music and wanted to share his passion and educate others. Buddy was a rare beast. Sadly missed, never forgotten, never bettered.
Buddy's expression at 1:50 says it all. Digging the sax playing, then using it to fuel his own creativity. As a kid I used to think BR was just a show-off; now I see what a pure musician he was.
Buddy Rich's precision was amazing. No stroke compromised the next, everything arrived on time. What stands out for me in this performance is the phrasing. It's all fireworks and dazzle, but he didn't ignore dynamics. A master.
A drummer myself, used to go see Buddy and his band a lot the last ten years of his life - at the Bottom Line in New York. I started noticing something at each show. Half the audience would nod their heads up and down to the music. Then there was a whole group that would just shake their heads, back and forth. Those were all the drummers.

They were very respectful of one another. I remember watching one of these tonight shows when Johnny asked Buddy "Outside of yourself, who are the top 5 drummers?" Buddy's list included Ed Shaunessey, Louis Belson, Danny Serafin, Danny D'Imperio, and I forgot the last one. Maybe Max Roach I don't remember. Been trying to find that on YT.
@@figgybass I see Max Roach on Buddy's list when he would mention drummers. Also he mentioned Steve Gadd. But the drummer on two occasions Buddy said was the daddy of them all was Chick Webb. Chick Webb died way back. Maybe late 1930's so I'm not familiar with Webb.
The guys in that band were the best in LA. More often than not, they wouldn’t even have a rehearsal. They were site reading the chart on live television. Monsters.
It's so sad how dumbed down music has become today fuck me id rather kill myself than write a song on a computer, fantastic musicians here from an era LONG gone, you young 'musicians' ought to be ashamed of yourselves my God
@@garyunsworth726 settle down man. I'd love to see anyone in this video try to play Bleed by Meshuggah. Buddy was one of the best but he wouldn't get past the first bar I bet. Talent comes in many forms, not just the ones you like.
@Thomas Evans Hi Thomas, I thought anything added here as a link to somewhere else might have something to do with Either Big Band or Buddy or something even relatively close. So then it is ok to use the fame and visibility of someone with a lot of it, to leach onto it and promote easy listening music that is much different, or perhaps some brand of tooth paste or hairbrushes, or whatever. Ok, I think I understand.
No doubt in my opinion that irrespective of musical genre, Buddy was the greatest man ever to sit behind a kit. Sure, there are some top notch drummers out there but Buddy always played with his heart and soul.
I see these videos of the worlds greatest drummers and, at times Buddy is not even mentioned… BLASPHEMY!!!! In the 60’s and beyond I truly idolized this guys drumming ability. Never missed a beat. Flawless talent.
When I was around 13 years old my Dad took me to see Buddy. I could not believe what I witnessed Buddy do to a set of Drums. Most of the audience there were Drummers. Even at my young age I could tell nobody in the house even thought about touching the Drums in his presence. Buddy Rich did inspire all Drummers in the world. I saw him do some weird stuff during his live performances. One time I he actually "Flipped Off" his audience and told the crowd they were being too F'n Loud! "Shut up or I am packing up and leaving". I saw some very unusual behavior from such a unbelievably gifted artist. Great Drumming inspiration yes, totally unprofessional business/public/performance "Live" example for others. Like a Bipolar person on Steroids. Weird stuff for sure. I still will always be Thankful I got to see BR perform 3 times live as a kid.
Porfle Popnecker yeah, now they play stupid fucking games all night like egg Russian roulette and box of lies for fucks sake. All Fallon does is play cute little games all night with his guests. What happened to grown adults having mature intelligent conversation?
What a beast. It amazes me the way he drove a song forward; it sounds like he’s single-handedly pushing the entire band up the hill, but never loses that relaxed back channel swing thing.
People debate that. Like what if some of these guys from the 60's and 70's had double bass kits. It's certainly interesting to think about. My personal opinion though, Buddy played off the snare tons of rudiments and variations of them. I think he would of stuck to the traditional 4 piece like you see here. These days however I think most serious players have at least an 7 or 8 piece kit. Not all of them!!!!There's still alot of guys like Buddy out there. Very old school.
@Peter Miller Everybody knows Bohnam was influenced by Buddy. He played off the snare drum and had the same 4 piece kit Buddy played. Ginger played a double bass kit but wasn't considered to be one of the greats mainly because he played a double bass kit at a time when that was considered cheating somehow. Carmine is definately up there and so is his brother Vinny. Carmine played a double bass kit and Vinny didn't. Buddy and those old heads refused to play a double bass kit. I would love to see Buddy's reaction to a hi-hat with the extended pedal for double bass on one bass drum. DW 5520. He would probably hate it.
Buddy was simply incredible. Not only an amazing soloist, but he couldn't read music, yet cut every part of every arrangement perfectly. His memory and perfect sense of time were "perfect."
John Z Agreed. A masterclass. It wasn’t that he couldn’t read music, it was just that - when asked about this - he responded “Well, er, I never needed to”. I respect that. Great post👍🏻
Dave Weckl is on another level not to mention young prodigies like Senri Kawaguchi. Buddy Rich is one of the top legendary drummers of all time, but there are others.
Listen real close everyone... THIS is talented musicians ! No electronics, synthesizers, or Auto-tune. The men you see, are making the music you hear, when you hear it. Nice !
The Tonight Show band was so amazing!!! When you hear Buddy's band or anyone's band you hear guys that have rehearsed and performed those song endlessly. But when you hear The Tonight Show band you hear guys that have probably only run through the arrangements a handful of times, at best - and most likely only once or twice, and sometimes not at all, I assume. Some complex arrangements too! Loved it then, and it's even more impressive today!
Buddy! My first Idol. I was so lucky to have had parents that treated me a dozen times to his Detroit area appearances. What joy and inspiration it continues to bring me today. He was a tough leader, but a gentle man when I met him at 16...
From a time when celebrities had talent and respected others. I love how the band stops playing waits during the drum solo and kicks right back in at the exact time they got the count. Awesome.
I grew up amid the whirlwind of the "British Invasion" - beginning with the Beatles in 1964 - and exploding worldwide during the 1970s. Talented rock drummers like John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) and Ian Pace (Deep Purple) achieved worldwide fame and stardom, dazzling crowds wherever they went. And what did these top-flight drummers all share in common.......the near unanimous consensus placing Buddy Rich at the top of the list of the world's best drummers!
I saw Buddy in the 80's Live. I had front row and watched in amazement as this older gentlemen came out in green golf slacks and a white golf shirt, Immediately threw the sheet music and started to play. The band went into a frenzy, turning pages to get to the right song, and BAM everybody fell in right behind Buddy. WOW. I was in total amazement all night long. To see the master himself, I considered it an honor. Oh by the way his sticks were a blur from the beginning , I learned nothing but respect that night.
The more I learn my way around the drums, the more I'm in awe by Buddy Rich's talent. Buddy really was lightyears ahead of everyone else. More raw talent than anyone else will ever possess.
Great memory. Thanks for sharing. I had to use two butter knives on an ottoman/hassock/whatever. It's fun to think of how many great stories like ours Buddy started writing.
Johnny always had an eye for THE REAL talent. truly amazing how he lasted 30 years on the Tonite Show, and 40 years on TV. Buddy and Johnny were long time friends. they were both (of course) a little crazy, .. especially Buddy.
Buddy killed it here..as he ALWAYS did... Johnny Carson was blown away as was the band, and even beautiful Angie Dickinson. Watch as he is walking back to the couch....Carson, as a hobbyist drummer knew and appreciated the skill the man had ..Buddy was simply in another universe of musicians and live in their own category such as Jaco Pastorius.
I've watched Buddy get his left hand under his right for the crossovers a thousand times...and it still floors me. Lighting. And that is not even close to the best part of his playing.
Guy, I was a guest on the Tonight Show in October, 1979 and had ten minutes with David Letterman Guest Hosting for Johnny and with Doc as the Co-Host. Both David and Doc were so nice to me. Here is the Interview part of the Show..............I blow into Doc's hands and get a "toot"...............4:00 in on the video.............th-cam.com/video/ztT9owljuL4/w-d-xo.html Here I perform, "What kind of fool am I" th-cam.com/video/8j8vQ0r_joo/w-d-xo.html Wishing you all the best!
There were always a few guests where I'd make a special effort to stay up and watch Carson - Buddy Rich was at the top of the list. Thanks for the upload!
It’s not gone. It’s still here. We just have access to so much more media that we have to search a little harder for it. To be fair: Buddy’s style was always 1940s ‘big band jazz’, so this would have been considered antiquated at the time this show aired. The audience would have rather had KC & The Sunshine Band come out than Buddy Rich
@@RatKing59 The audience seemed extremely appreciative of Buddy Rich. Just listen to that applause. They all knew his musical genre. The 70's audiences appreciated ALL styles of music and had eclectic tastes. Your statements are misinformed to say the least. Ever Notice Carson's house orchestra and Doc Severinsen? They played LOTS of 40's music. Get a clue. Carson retired at the TOP. The Tonight Show Orchestra with Doc Severinsen was a main part of the show.
Please don't laugh at me but this is the first video I've ever seen of Buddy Rich. I had heard his name and knew he was a great drummer. I just had no idea how great. This was nothing short of amazing. Possible the best drummer I've ever seen.
That was so fun to watch. Desi really played well and kept right up with Buddy which 75% of drummers could not do. It was also entertaining, which is the whole purpose of playing music.
Buddy Rich did with such a small kit what modern day drummers require every cymbal and every drum on the planet to do. What he achieved will never be equalled! The man was quite simply a legend, and will always be a legend. If ppl don't like what they see in this video then quite simply they just don't really understand the true art of what Buddy Rich was all about.
Johnny could actually play, and well. Buddy wasn't much of a human being, but he was a MASTER at his craft. Definitely one of the foundation stones in the drumming world.
When I started playing drums in 1964 Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa were my inspiration for continuing to play drums and still today I admire Buddy's drumming and have coined some of his techniques into my drumming skills that I use when drumming for rock bands, jazz bands, and progressive fusion bands.
My story exactly. Except I began playing in 1963 at age 9. Krupa and Rich were my drum heroes. But I only had records. And the occaisional TV appearance to see how they were playing. What I would've given for a TH-cam then!
The Best of the very Best of the very best, right there.. Be humble and honoured to witness this Godly talent that you do not, nor will ever possess,nor will you possess in a 1000 life times for ever and ever Amen.
Buddy proves time and time again that you don't need a 100-piece drum kit to perform musical perfection.
Joe Morello did it with 4 drums (bass, snare and two toms) plus high hats and one or two cymbals for years.
Also Bernard “ Pretty “ Purdie !
@@elident7828 And let's not forget Gene Krupa! That said, I've seen Buddy Rich playing kits twice the size that he used in this show. He had no problem with playing big kits. However, it makes no difference if someone plays a solo like that on a 14-piece kit or a 5-piece kit.

Sounds familiar.
Buddy’s not hidden behind a massive amount of drums, cymbals and microphones, like many of today’s drummers.
Yet still blows them away..
Today’s drummers have progressed far beyond Buddy in both creativity and technique.

buddy was one of a kind. the world will never see the likes of this man ever again
32 years after his death, still unequaled.
So awesome!! The best!!
RIP Ed Shaughnessy and B. Rich. Both incredible drummers - although, Ed sat this one out.
And he's applauding along with the rest of the band.
Eddie great as well though only one Buddy for us guys that remember that era
They were very respectful of one another. I remember watching one of these tonight shows when Johnny asked Buddy "Outside of yourself, who are the top 5 drummers?" Buddy's list included Ed Shaunessey, Louis Belson, Danny Serafin, Danny D'Imperio, and I forgot the last one. Maybe Max Roach I don't remember. Been trying to find that on YT.
@@figgybass I see Max Roach on Buddy's list when he would mention drummers. Also he mentioned Steve Gadd. But the drummer on two occasions Buddy said was the daddy of them all was Chick Webb. Chick Webb died way back. Maybe late 1930's so I'm not familiar with Webb.
@@boblackey1 Chick Webb., mentioned in the movie Taxi Driver👍
Actual musicians who could play actual instruments and make actual music.
The guys in that band were the best in LA. More often than not, they wouldn’t even have a rehearsal. They were site reading the chart on live television. Monsters.
It's so sad how dumbed down music has become today fuck me id rather kill myself than write a song on a computer, fantastic musicians here from an era LONG gone, you young 'musicians' ought to be ashamed of yourselves my God
@@garyunsworth726 settle down man. I'd love to see anyone in this video try to play Bleed by Meshuggah. Buddy was one of the best but he wouldn't get past the first bar I bet. Talent comes in many forms, not just the ones you like.
@Thomas Evans Hi Thomas, I thought anything added here as a link to somewhere else might have something to do with Either Big Band or Buddy or something even relatively close. So then it is ok to use the fame and visibility of someone with a lot of it, to leach onto it and promote easy listening music that is much different, or perhaps some brand of tooth paste or hairbrushes, or whatever. Ok, I think I understand.
No doubt in my opinion that irrespective of musical genre, Buddy was the greatest man ever to sit behind a kit. Sure, there are some top notch drummers out there but Buddy always played with his heart and soul.
We are so lucky to have TH-cam and be able to experience the GOATS back in their day.
The bands on the nightly shows like this were incredible. Carson and Letterman's bands were just some of the best around.
That saxophonist ain’t no slouch either! Mr. Rich was amazing!
One of the greatest members of the NBC Orchestra, Ernie Watts.
If the younger guys only knew how incredible it is just to see Buddy and Ed Shaughnessy in the same frame...Legendary
Keith Showell Indeed!!
I remember seeing it "live" with my dad.... Incredible!!!!
Mark Paddy he was fast with his hands period. not particularly creative.
I agree. he was great. these new rock band drummers need to watch him
@@markpaddy3280 cant argue with that!!! 😀
I grew up awe-inspired by Buddy Rich's genius. He's the reason I took up the piano.
Going flat out; on the high wire without a net every time he played. Fearless.
I see these videos of the worlds greatest drummers and, at times Buddy is not even mentioned… BLASPHEMY!!!!
In the 60’s and beyond I truly idolized this guys drumming ability. Never missed a beat. Flawless talent.
Does that not just floor you? I played for fifty years and still hold Buddy as the finest drummer in history. Keith Carlock is a close second.
greatest and best are not always the same. Buddy was amazing but not necessarily innovative.
When I was around 13 years old my Dad took me to see Buddy. I could not believe what I witnessed Buddy do to a set of Drums. Most of the audience there were Drummers. Even at my young age I could tell nobody in the house even thought about touching the Drums in his presence. Buddy Rich did inspire all Drummers in the world. I saw him do some weird stuff during his live performances. One time I he actually "Flipped Off" his audience and told the crowd they were being too F'n Loud! "Shut up or I am packing up and leaving". I saw some very unusual behavior from such a unbelievably gifted artist. Great Drumming inspiration yes, totally unprofessional business/public/performance "Live" example for others. Like a Bipolar person on Steroids. Weird stuff for sure. I still will always be Thankful I got to see BR perform 3 times live as a kid.
Nobody played like Buddy! RIP
Back when these talk shows were done by sophisticated adults.
Porfle Popnecker yeah, now they play stupid fucking games all night like egg Russian roulette and box of lies for fucks sake. All Fallon does is play cute little games all night with his guests. What happened to grown adults having mature intelligent conversation?
Long gone in this day & age!!!
Porfle Popnecker So true
Dan Letts you know, every Samsung has a toggle on the back on.the right behind the screen as you come up, in the corner.
Push it. (Then it goes off :)
Nothing but political hacks now
The greatest period.
What a beast. It amazes me the way he drove a song forward; it sounds like he’s single-handedly pushing the entire band up the hill, but never loses that relaxed back channel swing thing.
Drummers like Buddy Rich come around every so...okay...like never. We'll never see another like this cat. RIP Buddy Rich. You still da man!
Imagine if he had a massive kit like neil peart did. Probably would have sounded like a genuine thunderstorm.
Nonsense! He sounding like thunder with a 4 piece.
If anything, Buddy powerfully demonstrated over decades that it is not how many drums you have, it is how well you play the ones you have that counts.
People debate that.
Like what if some of these guys from the 60's and 70's had double bass kits. It's certainly interesting to think about. My personal opinion though, Buddy played off the snare tons of rudiments and variations of them. I think he would of stuck to the traditional 4 piece like you see here. These days however I think most serious players have at least an 7 or 8 piece kit. Not all of them!!!!There's still alot of guys like Buddy out there. Very old school.
Great snare drummer..that's all folks
@Peter Miller Everybody knows Bohnam was influenced by Buddy.
He played off the snare drum and had the same 4 piece kit Buddy played. Ginger played a double bass kit but wasn't considered to be one of the greats mainly because he played a double bass kit at a time when that was considered cheating somehow. Carmine is definately up there and so is his brother Vinny.
Carmine played a double bass kit and Vinny didn't. Buddy and those old heads refused to play a double bass kit. I would love to see Buddy's reaction to a hi-hat with the extended pedal for double bass on one bass drum. DW 5520.
He would probably hate it.
I swear it looks like his eyes are always closed when he plays. magnificent
Buddy Rich..."THE greatest drummer to have ever drawn breath."
~~~ Gene Krupa ~~~
The faster the better? Musical perfection? Actual Music? All the comments are positive but there are people who hate 'showing off'. I do.
That's show business 👏
Buddy was simply incredible. Not only an amazing soloist, but he couldn't read music, yet cut every part of every arrangement perfectly. His memory and perfect sense of time were "perfect."
John Z Agreed. A masterclass. It wasn’t that he couldn’t read music, it was just that - when asked about this - he responded “Well, er, I never needed to”. I respect that. Great post👍🏻
he was a jerk
@@bryceanderson9267 Yes he was, but he finally mellowed out a few years before he passed.
He was stellar but technically he sped up in the first time through the B Section, just saying.
Carson got personal drum lessons from Buddy at Carson's home. What a thrill that would be.
Buddy is the greatest drummer ever and here he shows us why
Next to John Bonham .
Dave Weckl is on another level not to mention young prodigies like Senri Kawaguchi. Buddy Rich is one of the top legendary drummers of all time, but there are others.
Listen real close everyone... THIS is talented musicians ! No electronics, synthesizers, or Auto-tune. The men you see, are making the music you hear, when you hear it. Nice !
Buddy Rich is the best Drummer that ever lived. I am 33.
Not even the best drummer of his generation
The Tonight Show band was so amazing!!! When you hear Buddy's band or anyone's band you hear guys that have rehearsed and performed those song endlessly. But when you hear The Tonight Show band you hear guys that have probably only run through the arrangements a handful of times, at best - and most likely only once or twice, and sometimes not at all, I assume. Some complex arrangements too! Loved it then, and it's even more impressive today!
The artistry of studio musicians. No one can do what they do off the cuff like that. All these guys are musicians musicians.
Buddy! My first Idol. I was so lucky to have had parents that treated me a dozen times to his Detroit area appearances. What joy and inspiration it continues to bring me today. He was a tough leader, but a gentle man when I met him at 16...
Nobody can cover Buddy! Goat
I always thought John Bohnam was the best drummer ever. And then I found this guy. Thanks TH-cam !
Now you know...
I love Bonham but he got his influences and many licks from Buddy, Morello, Roach and Mouzan.
I miss the real tonight show band ...they were amazing
Sim One Right? We’ve gone from that to “Hey hey hey hey hey” Sad.
From a time when celebrities had talent and respected others.
I love how the band stops playing waits during the drum solo and kicks right back in at the exact time they got the count. Awesome.
A lot of guys could play up to Buddy, but his left hand is from another dimension!
THE BEST DRUMMER EVER! RIP BUDDY.........
I grew up amid the whirlwind of the "British Invasion" - beginning with the Beatles in 1964 - and exploding worldwide during the 1970s. Talented rock drummers like John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) and Ian Pace (Deep Purple) achieved worldwide fame and stardom, dazzling crowds wherever they went. And what did these top-flight drummers all share in common.......the near unanimous consensus placing Buddy Rich at the top of the list of the world's best drummers!
I've watched him mesmerized ALL my life (68 yrs so far)..and till the day I day, I'll never be bored watching him drum."
I saw Buddy in the 80's Live. I had front row and watched in amazement as this older gentlemen came out in green golf slacks and a white golf shirt, Immediately threw the sheet music and started to play. The band went into a frenzy, turning pages to get to the right song, and BAM everybody fell in right behind Buddy. WOW. I was in total amazement all night long. To see the master himself, I considered it an honor. Oh by the way his sticks were a blur from the beginning , I learned nothing but respect that night.
Never have i seen more natural drummer, a gift to drums!... Even Angie Dickinson was impressed.
The more I learn my way around the drums, the more I'm in awe by Buddy Rich's talent.
Buddy really was lightyears ahead of everyone else. More raw talent than anyone else will ever possess.
Custom tom mount that was never offered to the public. Ed had them too! Hercules tilter and bass drum mount on tom. Sure miss Johnny, Buddy and Ed.
When you watch this as a "Drummer" - there are No Words to say about this man, other than Just Incredible.
That was a good one. I used to stay up WAY late to watch Johnny Carson.
Perfect snare sound...no snare will ever top the Ludwig Supraphonic !!!
Man that snare sounds heavenly
drum set especially the snare sounded superb.
No one played like Buddy Rich. My first drum book was,of course, Buddy Rich & a stinken drum pad,.a good memory, really...
Great memory. Thanks for sharing. I had to use two butter knives on an ottoman/hassock/whatever. It's fun to think of how many great stories like ours Buddy started writing.
Johnny always had an eye for THE REAL talent. truly amazing how he lasted 30 years on the Tonite Show, and 40 years on TV.
Buddy and Johnny were long time friends. they were both (of course) a little crazy, .. especially Buddy.
btw, for the record: to be THAT intense on the drums takes A LOT of interior aggression. ... aside from all the talent and hard work.
Buddy killed it here..as he ALWAYS did... Johnny Carson was blown away as was the band, and even beautiful Angie Dickinson. Watch as he is walking back to the couch....Carson, as a hobbyist drummer knew and appreciated the skill the man had ..Buddy was simply in another universe of musicians and live in their own category such as Jaco Pastorius.
I've watched Buddy get his left hand under his right for the crossovers a thousand times...and it still floors me. Lighting. And that is not even close to the best part of his playing.
THE BEST...NO ONE WILL EVER TOP HIM..PERIOD!!!👍
What a treat it was to hear that band five nights a week.
man Buddy's snare tone is absolutely amazing... very tight and punchy like today's extreme metal snare tones..
Big Swing Face at his absolute best ever! RIP buddy you are the best period!
I met Doc back in the late 70s and I asked him which musical guest impressed him the most. He said Buddy Rich. That tells you something.
Yet, Doc is quoted as saying Shaughnessy was the better drummer.
Guy, I was a guest on the Tonight Show in October, 1979 and had ten minutes with David Letterman Guest Hosting for Johnny and with Doc as the Co-Host. Both David and Doc were so nice to me. Here is the Interview part of the Show..............I blow into Doc's hands and get a "toot"...............4:00 in on the video.............th-cam.com/video/ztT9owljuL4/w-d-xo.html Here I perform, "What kind of fool am I" th-cam.com/video/8j8vQ0r_joo/w-d-xo.html Wishing you all the best!
There were always a few guests where I'd make a special effort to stay up and watch Carson - Buddy Rich was at the top of the list.
Thanks for the upload!
Johhny Carson with Buddy Rich on. Aw man, life was good.
How I miss the Johnny Carson show....
So do millions of others.
I'm pretty sure that dude is a Machine. WOW. The Best.
For big band okay but not the most musical .
One of the best tonight show appearce by buddy rich drum king RIP buddy
This was so good it made me cry. I wouldn't have cried in the 70's. I cried now because this level of entertainment is long gone.
It’s not gone. It’s still here. We just have access to so much more media that we have to search a little harder for it.
To be fair: Buddy’s style was always 1940s ‘big band jazz’, so this would have been considered antiquated at the time this show aired. The audience would have rather had KC & The Sunshine Band come out than Buddy Rich
@@RatKing59 The audience seemed extremely appreciative of Buddy Rich. Just listen to that applause. They all knew his musical genre. The 70's audiences appreciated ALL styles of music and had eclectic tastes. Your statements are misinformed to say the least. Ever Notice Carson's house orchestra and Doc Severinsen?
They played LOTS of 40's music. Get a clue. Carson retired at the TOP. The Tonight Show Orchestra with Doc Severinsen was a main part of the show.
Johnny at his best !! He loved Buddy and admired his talent so much ! and I think Buddy admired Johnny's talent as well. Of course .
Best drummer ever, simple as that!
Please don't laugh at me but this is the first video I've ever seen of Buddy Rich. I had heard his name and knew he was a great drummer. I just had no idea how great. This was nothing short of amazing. Possible the best drummer I've ever seen.
Good observation. And good conclusion!
Look how he keeps the hi hat going up and down, never changing the tempo, amazing, like a machine.
Buddy Rich poppin’ corn with his right hand like nobody’s business.
No one comped like him.
Buddy and Johnny seemed like good friends.
Oh yes, they absolutely were very good friends!!
That was so fun to watch. Desi really played well and kept right up with Buddy which 75% of drummers could not do. It was also entertaining, which is the whole purpose of playing music.
What i wouldn't do for just 1 drum lesson from this man, gives me chills every time i listen just fantastic RIP Mr.Rich
God damn.....this never gets old....hold my beer anyone.
Buddy Rich did with such a small kit what modern day drummers require every cymbal and every drum on the planet to do.
What he achieved will never be equalled!
The man was quite simply a legend, and will always be a legend.
If ppl don't like what they see in this video then quite simply they just don't really understand the true art of what Buddy Rich was all about.
They never should have taken the camera off that man Buddy Rich - his masterful drumming is too good. 💥 🏆 💯
God, I miss this show. We never knew how good we had it in those days.
I saw him live!
Johnny could actually play, and well. Buddy wasn't much of a human being, but he was a MASTER at his craft. Definitely one of the foundation stones in the drumming world.
Wow, that bass line, the sax, the drum, everything was so good
When I started playing drums in 1964 Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa were my inspiration for continuing to play drums and still today I admire Buddy's drumming and have coined some of his techniques into my drumming skills that I use when drumming for rock bands, jazz bands, and progressive fusion bands.
My story exactly. Except I began playing in 1963 at age 9. Krupa and Rich were my drum heroes. But I only had records. And the occaisional TV appearance to see how they were playing. What I would've given for a TH-cam then!
Buddy stands/sits alone at the top, but Ed Shaughnessy was right up there with the best of the rest.
Its not just about Buddy's awesome chops, but about everything going on around him. What an amazing composition for the entire band. WOW!!!!!!!!!!
I have only one thing I posses that I can give Buddy Rich, total and utter respect. RIP Buddy.
I saw Buddy Rich at the Russellville Ballroom in Michigan in the late 70's. I will never forget that night.
Saw him at Mr. Kelly's on Rush St. in Chicago, Feb. 1973. He seemed pissed and was very arrogant . No drum solo either.
The Best of the very Best of the very best, right there..
Be humble and honoured to witness this Godly talent that you do not, nor will ever possess,nor will you possess in a 1000 life times for ever and ever Amen.
I left a slice of that son of a gun hairdryer for all of us to feel old ha
johnnyfoto that was pretty cool to see. Thank you for that!
Old? Why I still have sideburns.
Pre-asbestos scare?
I still have that hair dryer.
I had one of those dryers WAY back when.
It lasted for maybe 7-8 years, before the motor finally gave out.
