On the original video at about 4:29 when he makes a face ( grimace) is when he was having a heart attack. Here is about 8:00. He finished the solo took a bow, then went to the hospital.
That's complete nonsense, how could you possibly know when he was having a heart attack, if at all? He made grimaces and weirs face contortions in every drum solo he ever played.
@@oliverpearson1577 His daughter, Cathy confirmed in an interview, that Buddy was taken immediately to the hospital and they found that he did have a heart attack during this show.
@@oliverpearson1577 Simply google something like "Buddy Rich heart attack during solo" and there are plenty of verifiable sources that discuss this specific situation and give factual corroboration - they further clarify that this performance was actually late 1982 (and so he did not have his first heart attack in 1983, as is sometimes erroneously reported). For further reading, please refer to "Buddy Rich: One of a Kind (The Making of the World's Greatest Drummer)" by Pelle Berglund, which is considered the authoritative biography on Buddy and which also mentions this episode (as related by Rich's daughter, Cathy)...
I'm a 65 year old drum teacher at School of Rock. No matter how many times I've seen this video, I am stunned at the speed and precision he plays with. I could only dream about being able to play at that level on my best day. Let alone while having a heart attack. Every drummer knows why this solo is called impossible.
I use to play the drums back in the day. And I also have seen this video numerous times & it also amazes me each time I've seen it. To me Buddy Rich was the best drummer ever. And I was never really big on the big band stuff, but I loved to watch him play. I used to see him on Johnny Carson , always great .
Just showed this to a student at SOR yesterday!! all drummers have that implicit knowledge, that there is Buddy, then everyone else. This is also what I like drums to sound like, and i think how they should be mic'd. he makes the drums sing, and every drum has such a beautiful range... simply the best.
I was luck to see him perform several times, including a final time at the Chicago Jazz Festival in 1985. Each time it was like magic. He was incredible. To call him the best is an understatement. Thank goodness for all of the clips of him available on TH-cam, including all those great appearances on The Tonight Show.
A couple of other guys who seem to get forgotten from that era are Joe Morello and Louie Bellson. Both spectacular players who could easily hold their own with the likes of anyone - including Buddy.
I’m a 61 year old professional drummer and drum teacher and I had the privilege of seeing Buddy in 1980 in London. He continues to inspire me through his speed and artistry; yes he was having a heart attack here. His artistry is unmatched to this day
I'm 73 but back when I was in my late 20's Buddy came and played at a local theater in my small home town of Chatham,Ontario...it was one of the most spectacular live shows I've ever seen...the band was about 12 or 13 guys and they were just smokin' !!
I felt I could have had a cardiac arrest, I was so breathlessly glued to the screen, as I am any chance I can see the great artist at play. He was most generous for such a legend. I saw him play at a local festival in the park here in Charlotte, where people were sitting, walking, and up on nearby Hippie Hill, toking and smooching. I went through a drummer phase, and knew enough not to miss him...and Lord, was I ever rewarded! You saw him! You can land planes on those lips, but his wife only lands kisses. And good for her! Drummers need more love. So thanks again for this American treasure. He is a force of Nature. A thunderstorm. He's just hurling lightning.
This performance is so spectacular! I have watched this several times in the last few years but it never ceases to amaze me. I had never seen this enhanced version and it is bueatiful. Buddy Rich has been an inspiration to countless drumers. He was one of Neil Peart's major influences. You really need to react to Neil Peart playing "Cotton Tail" with the Buddy Rich Band at a tribute concert for Buddy Rich. Neil helped with that tribute and has also put together a tribute album to celebrate Buddy's life and influence on the drumming world called "Burning With Buddy". Neil does an amazing solo in the middle of "Cotton Tail". Neil incorporated so many differnt styles in his playing and actually took lessions in the 1990s because he was always striving to improve. During Neil's solo performance you can see some of the band members that toured extensively with Buddy smiling at what Neil is playing and I am sure they saw the strong influence. There is a lot of Jazz and Big Band influence in Rush's music.
Many years ago mt wife and me would go to Disneyland just to see Buddy play. He would perform at the Carnation Plaza with a small band. What a gift that was.
I am 53, and I remember Buddy Rich being on television shows (variety shows and the tonight show, and such) and playing and he was so prevelant back then that this seemed like a normal thing.
I saw this tour in Long Beach Ca. It was amazing to see 2 living legends in the same show. The voice wasn’t there the whole time this was in the mid 80’s. But when it was it was FANTASTIC. R.I.P.
In 1980, my university jazz club put on a Buddy Rich gig in the UK. We had to make sure there was a pot of fresh tea during the break. His big solos at the end of each set were unbelievable and his band really had to be on their toes as he would shout the page number of each piece, give the band an intro , and heaven help any band member who wasn't on the right page after four bars. Total legend.
65 years old. With an undiagnosed brain tumour. Suffers a heart-attack mid-performance…and he plays like that…wearing a full tux! Buddy was the best to ever do it!
That is true dedication to one's craft. I first saw Buddy Rich on an episode of The Tonight Show and was blown away. It's no surprise that he was an inspiration to a whole generation of drummers today. We probably won't see his like again anytime soon.
Hey Nick, I started playing drums at 6 y/o (in the 70’s) and I was a huge fan of Buddy Rich and his contemporary, Louis Bellson (equally talented drummer, arranger and the first person to play double bass drums). My parents brought me to see him play live twice near our home in Massachusetts when I was a kid. When I saw him playing at a small jazz club in Beverly MA, he went outside to smoke during a break and my father asked if I wanted to go meet him. Of course I said yes and when we went outside, my father introduced himself to Buddy and said that I was his son Neal and that I was a drummer and a big fan. Buddy, looking annoyed and uninterested, shook my hand hand quickly and said hello and then went back to talking to his friend (if you’ve heard stories about how much of an a-hole he was, it makes perfect sense). A couple years later, I met Louis Bellson and he was the complete opposite…when I said I was a big fan, a drummer and that I had one of his records, he shook my hand and said “That’s great, man, keep on drumming”.
I believe the heart attack actually happened about around the 2 minute time stamp during the solo. He continued on in his 3 piece suit, until he felt the solo was finished.
This music is from "West side story"...awesome performance! This man literally played his Heart out...Ty Nick for sharing this demonstration of awesomeness!
From one Dave to another, thank you. I've seen this video numerous times & it's always amazing each time. But i didn't know about the heart attack, that's just crazy. Nick, i said in the comments yesterday for Roundabout's marathon that i used to play the drums back in the day & Keith Moon was in my top three rock drummers. Neil Peart & John Bonham were the othe two of course. But imo, Buddy Rich was the best. I used to catch him on Johnny Carson & he would just blow me away. I'm not even into the big band stuff that much, but man, i love to watch him play. Thanks again Dave & Nick
Wow! I grew up seeing Buddy Rich on TV from time to time. I was studying classical piano and was ignorant, arrogant, and naïve: I thought drummers were people who weren't smart enough to read music. Sixty years later, I am watching this video and am blown away by the mastery! I could NEVER have played drums, let alone with this level of nuance, precision, and velocity. Glad I second-guessed myself tonight and clicked "play" for a video I would normally have skipped.
I'm a drummer, and to prepare for college, I took piano lessons. My teacher had 4 pianos at home, and his daughter was constantly practicing (she was preparing to perform Rach 1 and 2). We were just going to cover harmony, so they weren't firm piano lessons. He later told me that he had the most fun on our lessons, because drummers hear the nuance of the notes that remain.. I had more emphasis on the moment I took my fingers off the keys.. and i understood silence. I love the drumset as an instrument, it has nuance, it has power, range.. it can transform the intention of a song, and more importantly, it is a conduit.. like any other instrument. I can hear differences and identify drummers, as clear as Liszt v. Satie. if you want to, listen to musicians talk about drummers. especially Ringo, Keith Moon, John Bonham, Vinny Colauita.. Look at the more piece inclined like Terry Bozzio, or Bill Bruford, Carl Palmer.. (You would appreciate Emerson, Lake and Palmers version of Pictures at an Exhibition.. but my favorite is Ginastera's tocatta, from their Brain Salad Surgery album.) I am so glad you stopped to see this, and am thankful for the kindness you showed the instrument i love..
A few things get lost when we watch him on video or on record even... is just how powerful and dynamic a drummer he really was. He can generate a tremendous amount of power.
The 'other' master drummer from that time was Louis Belson, he and Buddy were really at the top of their game. There is a drum battle between them on Johnny Carson Show, it is mind boggling! Check it out.
The Buddy Rich Orchestra is still going strong. Buddy's daughter (Cathy) is in charge of Buddy's legacy and fortunately she married a very talented drummer (Greg Potter). They live in Chicago and regularly play there....as well as Los Angeles, London etc. I think u guys are in Canada...if you are inspired....go see the BRO! To hear these charts live, with a full orchestra is not only a treat...but also a chance to see this music before it fades away into obscurity.
Drum virtuosos are not percussionists but musicians. For them, the drums are a musical instrument (not simple rhythm or tempo boxes) in their own right, just like a piano or a guitar. This is how we recognize the greats. BUDDY RICH, BILL BRUFORD, IAN PAICE, NEIL PEART, JOHN BONHAM, DAVE GROHL (to name just a few) make “music” with their drums. Thanks.
Whenever Buddy was asked about reading music he would answer, "I don't read music", not, I can't read music. Before he had his own band he played for other bands; he would have had to be able to read.
Though it everybody says it Buddy did go a a teacher to learn to read . There is also a story he got some lessons of Joe Morello . But as Tommy Igoe suggests reading as a tool but students “ you’re not Buddy Rich “ 🤣
Saw Buddy Rich with the Buddy Rich Big Band at the Valley Forge Music Fair in 1983 I believe. Sarah Vaugh was the second set Tony Bennet was the third set. Both the second set and third set utilized Buddy Rich's Big Band without Buddy Rich. Ed Shaughnessy (Doc Severinsen Big Band) was the sit in drummer. Carl Palmer was friends with Buddy.
Throwing this out. There's another video on TH-cam. He's younger and not having a heart attack. Buddy Rich-Live at the Hague. And it's even more unreal. Also, Buddy had a drum battle with Animal. My first exposure to him, but my dad was a big fan
Nick, did you know that Neil Peart is the drummer they asked to do a tribute concert to Buddy Rich? Part of the reason is because Neil was the only drummer who could match Buddy Rich's speed and precision. Look it up on TH-cam. In the concert Neil also added his own signature of course, but really captured the essence. Like I said, no other drummer was able to check all the boxes needed. There are fast rock drummers and such out there, but Neil was the only one who could do multiple genres (especially jazz) and really understood Buddy Rich as well.

Great request Dave!
Buddy was a monster and legendary drummer he set the bar very high. Great piece of music and drum showcase. Very enjoyable.
Nice to see Buddy Rich getting some love. Gen Krupa was another one of the greats.

I saw him in the spring of 85 in Madison Wisconsin opening for Maynard Ferguson.

Timing 👌 😃
Born to do this.

Not only was Buddy talented but he had talent around him. I got to see him live around 1980. He was amazing.

Buddy Rich was a mentor to Danny Seraphine, Chicago’s first drummer.

The Godfather of drumming. The OG. So good. Nice choice Dave and reaction Nick. A1 stuff👍Adrian Belew doesn't read music either and he's pretty good.
Saw Buddy Rich with the Buddy Rich Big Band at the Valley Forge Music Fair in 1983 I believe.
Sarah Vaugh was the second set
Tony Bennet was the third set.
Both the second set and third set utilized Buddy Rich's Big Band without Buddy Rich. Ed Shaughnessy (Doc Severinsen Big Band) was the sit in drummer.
Carl Palmer was friends with Buddy.
When you watch this and Neil at Frankfurt you can see how much Neil emulated Buddy

There' are videos when Buddy is even older than this and are far superior to the Hague concert.
@javlohudzlin4829 hey thanks. I'll look for those too.
Playing in that heat, in a full tuxedo incredible at aged 65/
An inspiration for so many drummers, including me! I'll have to introduce you to Max Roach as well. Little bit of rivalry between Buddy and Max.
These great drummers, sometimes they don't seem human. The speed but even more, the stamina

They had other drummers perform at tribute concerts before and after Neil. NOTHING to do with matching Buddy's speed and precision.
Aprendiendo un poco aunque no caso una del idioma 👍💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
I believe Buddy was Neil Peart's idol, and now I just heard you say it : )
65 years old. Crazy.
a great ! Neal Peart's fav !
With Buddy, it was hard to tell because he constantly made face while he played.
Mind you, the guy is doing this in a suit
One of the best drummer of all time. Phil Collins was huge fan.
Carl Palmer puede tocar todo eso. Grande Buddy,.
Carl Palmer
neil peart buddy rich tribute-Buddy was Neil's hero and said he always had perfect timing!
My favorite drummer of all time and Gene Krupa was his rival..watch a video of their drum off
Don't forget Max Roach!
@@greybeard2280 I have Max Roach records!
And in a suit with bowtie! How he wasn't dripping in sweat is beyond me.

THE "TEACHER" OF CARL PALMER?!
Easy to go about his crazy chops listen to him swing . Musicality 😎.
Thanks a lot for doing this in english. The argentinian music deserves to be known in the world.

The top rock drummers can’t do this. Neil Peart couldn’t do this. Danny Carey can’t do this.
Why is this called the impossible ,we all studied this ,to bad you were not there ...
West side story?
I am a nobody drummer before this😮😢
Listen to Heat Above by Greta Van Fleet if you haven’t already, and do a reaction video.
He didn't start until he was 33
modern day Samson didnt practice never took lessons or read music I worked with guys from his band that told me all he first hand accounts of the GOAT Buddy Rich
Is it any wonder that he's Neil Peart's hero.
Neal Peart was highly influenced by Rich! He was probably the GOAT!!
And hes 60+ years old here in bad health
Guess who Neil Peart looked up to
The great Buddy Rich was 2nd to absolutely no one, he was and always will be the goat of all drummers, bottom line.
Except for Gene Kruppa
Buddy wouldn't play every genre...Buddy hated country music. Hated it!
@@Dave-hb7lx The country music on his radar isn't like the new country that followed Billy Ray Cyrus. It was CUNTREE. (That, is almost obscene thar) It was hillbilly music to Buddy.
Anyhooo there is a Johnny Carson show where he drops that bomb. On the YT time machine. Circa 1974 or there abouts. It did create a kerfuffle soon after.
