Gene Krupa was another great drummer during the big band era! Buddy maintained his popularity all through the seventies appearing on variety shows and the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
That was so fun to watch. Buddy Rich was a fantastic drummer! You are right, he influenced a lot of the rock drummers that came after. I am also a big fan of Jerry Lewis & have a lot of his movies. My favorite is "The Nutty Professor" & he actually sings in that one. I also remember watching the old Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin movies. Jerry acted like a goof-ball but he actually was a very talented musician who could play the drums & other instruments & could sing.
Jerry Lewis pioneered many film first as he was an independent producer. Jerry is considered a comedic genius by the French. I was a fan of Jerry's as a kid and watched so many of his films. I turned my daughter a Gen Z into a Jerry Lewis fan too. Buddy Rich was great too. Jerry is a multi talented musician, conductor, director, singer, producer and excellent at playing the fool.
Yes, Jerry Lewis was a musician as well as a comedian & actor. very talented, all the way around. And, he had a son, Gary Lewis, who was an early rock star. Check out the song, 'This Diamond Ring', by Gary Lewis & the Playboys.
Great reaction, two things, first: yes, Jerry Lewis, huge comedian and actor, played drums too - not at Buddy Rich's level, obviously - and Buddy Rich had his big band for many years, from 1966 until his death. in 1987, but before that he played with many of the best in the genre like Artie Shaw, Lionel Hampton, Tommy Dorsey, Charlie Parker, Art Tatum, Lester Young. He died in 1987 due to a heart attack; His heart had been giving him serious problems since 1953 but he never wanted to stop playing despite medical advice.
Buddy is for me one of the greatest drummer's in history somewhat opinionated Jerry one of the most intelligent comedians somewhat underated. Together a bit of magic.
I saw Buddy's big band at the Felt Forum in NYC in the '70s. You should check out his recordings... 'Kilimanjaro Cookout', 'West Side Story Medley', 'Time Check' and many others. He also had a jazz club in NYC where his band and others played. I saw Maynard Ferguson there. Someone else you should check out.
I have the DVD ("Classic Drum Solos and Drum Battles") from which that video was taken. My favorite solos on the DVD are from Sonny Payne, Joe Morello's "Take Five" solo, Ed Shaughnessy/Buddy Rich drum battle (Ed was the Tonight Show drummer) and Rufus "Speedy" Jones!!!
Classic, classic, classic of very talented artists. Jerry Lewis was everything, singer, actor, dancer musician and also irritating. God, yes, drummers were all influenced by Buddy Rich and started as a Big Band drummer.
Harri, please pay tribute to Meat Loaf by reacting to his “masterpiece” song For Crying Out Loud. Jim Steinman, who was Meat’s songwriter (and who himself died recently) referred to the song as “my masterpiece”. RIP “Meat” a true giant of music. I am proud to say I saw him once live in concert. 🙏🏻
@@andreaschmall5560 Didn't say it did. But from all accounts, he was a terrible person to work with and work for. I used to think more highly of him before I discovered the true person he was. Bill Cosby was a great comedian but knowing what we know now, doesn't it diminish your view of him?
#HarriBest Reactions ,I know John Bonham drummer in Led Zep idolised Buddy,don't forget that was only ten years after WWII. I'LL subscribe you're roughly the same age as me and from the same country!🏴
Jerry Lewis' son Gary Lewis also played drums with Gary Lewis & The Playboys in the 60s and I saw him play live and he eventually moved to guitar but he did play drums for several of his hits. Count Me In, and others..
You should check out Buddy Rich vs Animal drum battle!! Gene Krupa, what i've been told, said "chanses that the world will ever se anyone like Buddy Rich again is zero"!
Hi Harri please react to the songs by Gary Lewis And The Playboys : This Diamond Ring, Evertbody Loves A Clown, She's Just My Style, Sure Gonna Miss Her, Count Me In, Green Grass, Save Your Heart For Me,............many. Thank you so much!
Jerry like a lot of entertainers probably can indeed play and like others sing e.g. multi talented. We just don't get to see their talents since their careers limit them due to the context of the genre they are in. Almost ALL of the Marvel MCU Avengers actors can sing and dance and probably some play instruments. (Scarlett Johannson and Robert Downey Jr. Both have recorded music albums.)
Details... You might notice that Buddy's bass drum pedal broke at about 2/3rds of the way through his solo, and he barely even flinched... of course. :)
Gene Krupa was the greatest Drummer. He was a BIG Name long before Buddy You need to find the drum battle between Gene and Buddy for a really awesome show.
Jerry Lewis toyed with drums but he obviously kept his kit accessible in his home since his son Gary Lewis was a drummer and had his own very successful rock band called Gary Lewis and the Playboys. But if you want to see Buddy really compete against one of the best check out this vid with the great Gene Krupa and Sammy Davis as frosting on the cake. th-cam.com/video/HsLmg4tfO1U/w-d-xo.html
Buddy Rich could make most other percussionists, esp "classic" rock drummers, sound like crap, with a few exceptions like Keith Moon...still...Keith couldn't do what Rich just did...incidentally Rich taught a few lessons to Jerry's son Gary Lewis when he would visit the Lewis household when Gary was a kid. Thus, Gary formed a band, played drums and broke through with his band Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Regarding Gene Krupa: A professor who played bass for his band at one time, I took a post college seminar class from him. In regards to your "loop" remark, the professor said Krupa listened and approached music in that the phrase isn't 16 bars, it's the whole song, no, songs are one continuous phrase, no, music is one continuous phrase. I suspect Buddy Rich had the same approach. We are so trapped in the containment of compartments measured by songs, divided by doors that are advertiser commercials, rather than the larger scope of music as one continuous phrase. Which is why many cannot sit though a symphony as they are listening for the hook line of a song that never comes, and have short term compartments in their brain trained by commercial play list radio, and become impatient with the length of the composition. Same for Jazz. Or perhaps the length of my paragraph just now, lol. To be honest I cannot sit through an opera...and I am a musician. It's one continuous musical soap opera to me...🤣
Jerry Lewis is doing pretty well! I felt that when the band came in, Rich was really hogging the stage. All flash and no groove. Could he lay down a pocket?

I loved the amazing skill of Buddy Rich and, as always, the goofy comedy of the legendary Jerry Lewis. Great fun to observe! 🌺✌️
Hi Harri, Buddy was truly a master! I can't watch him and not think of the Great Neil Peart... 2 men who will never be forgotten. - Brooklyn Mike
THAT LOOK YOU GAVE AT THE END
😂
That’s how we all feel after watching that.
Jerry's son "Gary" was a drummer and singer. He was in the band Gary Lewis and the Playboys." They had a big hit with 'This Diamond Ring.'
Buddy Rich really was amazing! Jerry was a great entertainer & yes he played 🥁 Trumpet, Guitar, Piano too
Yes, Jerry Lewis was a musician as well as a comedian & actor. very talented, all the way around. And, he had a son, Gary Lewis, who was an early rock star. Check out the song, 'This Diamond Ring', by Gary Lewis & the Playboys.
Buddy was my dad's favorite. Man could he play those drums!
Buddy Rich is the G.O.A.T. If you ever get the chance, check out his Impossible drum solo. He actually had a heart attack during the performance. ✌
I was just going to say that.

Buddy was a monster on the drums. Probably the fastest sticks ever.
Gene Krupa was also one of the great drummers from that era.
Such great music fun!
Buddy Rich was one of the best ! Loved the split screen...lol !! Jerry was such a clown! Thanks Harri🤣😅😆
Classic, classic, classic of very talented artists. Jerry Lewis was everything, singer, actor, dancer musician and also irritating. God, yes, drummers were all influenced by Buddy Rich and started as a Big Band drummer.
Neil Peart, the drummer from Rush was influenced by Buddy Rich.
I used to love when he sit in with the Tonight Show band and need do drum battles with Ed Shaughnessy. You should look those up. Love the channel!
Harri, please pay tribute to Meat Loaf by reacting to his “masterpiece” song For Crying Out Loud.
Jim Steinman, who was Meat’s songwriter (and who himself died recently) referred to the song as “my masterpiece”.
RIP “Meat” a true giant of music. I am proud to say I saw him once live in concert. 🙏🏻
Jerry Lewis's son was a musician -- Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
Jerry Lewis wasn’t only funny but a great musician and dancer ☮️💜
He was also known to be a nasty, miserable sob.
@@abc456f Didn't affect his talent.
@@andreaschmall5560 Didn't say it did. But from all accounts, he was a terrible person to work with and work for. I used to think more highly of him before I discovered the true person he was. Bill Cosby was a great comedian but knowing what we know now, doesn't it diminish your view of him?
@@andreaschmall5560 I was about to say that. In fact, it probably was the reason why he was so good. All that anger he took out on the drums.
Buddy Rich had a left hand like a machine gun.
I've always said that was like his secret weapon, that left hand. I think he could do a double stroke roll with just his left hand. Unreal.
Jerry's son Gary had a band Gary Lewis and the Playboys. This Diamond Ring
He to me is the GOAT of drummers ..what he did with what he had .. Neil is second but Buddy is number 1
Phil Collins placed Buddy Rich at the top of his best 5 drummers ever. You might know the others (and no he did not include himself).
Watch Buddy Rich Impossible Drum Solo. He has a mini heart attack and keeps going
#HarriBest Reactions ,I know John Bonham drummer in Led Zep idolised Buddy,don't forget that was only ten years after WWII. I'LL subscribe you're roughly the same age as me and from the same country!🏴

To think that Rock n' Roll was just barely starting in 1955... 😎
Amazing, Gene Krupa was a good drummer too.
Jerry could really play the drums.
You should check out Buddy Rich vs Animal drum battle!! Gene Krupa, what i've been told, said "chanses that the world will ever se anyone like Buddy Rich again is zero"!
Watch Johnny Carson when he was o the show
Time for another tribute, Meat Loaf has passed away. I recommend reacting to 'Heaven Can Wait' if you haven't already heard it.
Sammy Davis Jr! Fantastic drummer!
Hi Harri please react to the songs by Gary Lewis And The Playboys : This Diamond Ring, Evertbody Loves A Clown, She's Just My Style, Sure Gonna Miss Her, Count Me In, Green Grass, Save Your Heart For Me,............many. Thank you so much!
Buddy Rich! Great Durmer. Jerry Lewis yeah! His oldest son Gary had s Great Band Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
Jerry like a lot of entertainers probably can indeed play and like others sing e.g. multi talented. We just don't get to see their talents since their careers limit them due to the context of the genre they are in.

Check out the drum off between Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich if you think this was good.
YOU CAN WATCH FREE AT UTUBE "Gene Krupa & Buddy Rich Famous Drum Battle." THESE WERE THE TWO MOST FAMOUS DRUMMERS OF THEIR TIME.
Check out INNA GODDA D'A VIDA drum solo
Is there a Gene Krupa vs Buddy Rich - smackdown?
Needs more cow bell lol. I’m joking
Details... You might notice that Buddy's bass drum pedal broke at about 2/3rds of the way through his solo, and he barely even flinched... of course. :)
You should listen to Chick Webb, he is the best drummer. Ella Fitzgerald began her career singing with him. St Louis Blues is a good one by them.
picked up the sticks at2 and by 4 was playing on Broadway
Is that where John Bonham learned Moby Dick? 🤔
Have you done Moby Dick live?
It's a must!
no doubt ..even modern day drummers say buddy was the king f them all on the kit
Gene Krupa was the greatest Drummer. He was a BIG Name long before Buddy
You need to find the drum battle between Gene and Buddy for a really awesome show.

absolutely...just give him some Quaaludes...😂
It’s too bad the sound quality wasn’t great given how old the technology was back then.
Can you react to some Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comedy skits?
Gene Krupa slightly predates him.
Jerry Lewis is just playing around pretending he's good and can compete with Rich
