- This amazing, intensely musical solo was a bona fide "game changer" for me as a young drummer. After watching Buddy play it, there were no more questions about who is my favorite drummer or who is the greatest drummer. Buddy was The Man. Period!
What age would you say Buddy Rich was when he was at his peak his talent stretches decades but there's got to be the one moment that even impressed himself. His moment
Perfect percussion. Perfect rhythm, tempo, control, scales. People don't understand how hard it is to play 1/2 notes with one foot, 1/8th with other. 1/4 notes with one hand and 128ths with other. Most people can't pat their head and rub their stomach. Absolute control
His left hand is absolutely insane.
Hurts my neck to watch this! Badass solo.
His control was terrifying , what an absolute master
you can see that years of dedication and very strict effort has given him the freedom of a child with the focus of a lazer. Breath taking
Just shows you don't have to beat the living daylights out of a kit to get the best out of it. What a genius! Wish I'd had a chance to see him live.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. There's Buddy Rich, and then there's everyone else. I swear he was from another planet. Neil Peart may have been "the professor on the drum kit", but Buddy Rich was "the mad scientist on the drum kit". Johnny Carson - a half-decent drummer in his own right - loved Buddy and had him on The Tonight Show as often as he could. As a kid growing up during the 1960s/1970s, my folks were gracious enough to allow me to stay up late on a school night to catch Buddy and one of his solos whenever he was scheduled to appear. I'll forever be grateful for that. 😄👍✌🇺🇸
The apprentice takes the easy and makes it look difficult while the master takes the impossible and makes it look easy!
It doesn't matter how many drums you have in your kit, it's how you play the ones you've got.
When I was in the 8th grade and was at Disney Land the marching band that goes around the park someone in the band recognized him and they put their drums on the ground and he was Phenomenal I didn't know who he was at the time until I read a article about him in Guitar Magazine several years later.Truly once in a lifetime experience. Also the same night the Stray Cats played at Disney Land. A memory I will never forget. He is a Legendary Percussionist. I'm 55 now I will never forget that.
Buddy had an unlimited bag of ideas to pull from and he was able to connect those ideas with transitions that kept things flowing.
This is what today's drum solos lack. RHYTHMIC solo
"It ain't bragging when you're the best." ~BR
He makes it all look so easy, so effortless, so graceful. Never slips. Never kinks. Never fail to bring it back to a theme. Loved watching him on Carson. He was always in his own world.
I was Buddy Rich’s agents secretary and was proud to set up his gigs. He was such a nice man, I miss him, I’m sure everyone who knew him misses him too. West Side Story was the greatest play on Broadway!
The coolest dude behind a drum kit ever. Nobody and nothing compares to him
Blows my mind what Buddy can do with 5 drums a hi hat, a ride and 2 crash cymbals! Amazing!!
BUDDY RICH is one of the greatest drummers of all time his drum solos are simply mind blowing and jaw dropping
When a simple drum kit meets incredible complex ability.
