THE greatest drummer to ever walk planet earth...Bernard "Buddy" Rich
Amen to that, after 37 years from his passing he in mine is THE greatest drummer ever, bar none.
The only one the Greatest Drummer who ever lived and played amazing every time 👍👍👍💗🤙
Have you ever seen the left hand perform with that precision..? Simply amazing..!!
How Buddy rich became the worlds greatest drummer is certainly not addressed here. The quest for that answer goes far deeper. The last thing on buddy’s mind when he soloed was technique. He just expressed himself fully. Imagine that he actually couldn’t really explain his own playing. He just played his ass off every night. Equal to his solos was how he played with a band . His musicality. That was his true genius.
you're absolutely right that technique was not on his mind. That's the point of working on great technique in the first place ... to not have to think about it. And Buddy certainly had it.
....Buddy stated,when asked on a talk show in the 70's about what he thought when soloing...."The melody...ALWAYS..."...
Saw him 18 times. He was GOD
I saw him eighteen times also
Buddy was from another planet!!! Cant even comprehend that precision, speed and powe
THE G.O.A.T.
He was beyond COLLASOSLL
Hi ..I appreciate your comments on buddy.. I have a couple dozen of Buddy's albums.. are you interested?
And the most amazing thing about the clip you keep showing of his Concert For The Americas solo? He was having a heart attack during the solo! His daughter was there and wrote about how she noticed he did not look right and was gasping for breath and she had an ambulance ready for him when he came off stage and collapsed.
honestly I forgot which clip that was! I didn't realize it was this one, or I probably would have made sure to mention it. Maybe there are some other Buddy clips I should analyze?
very well concieved informative video- ... I love listening to the breakdowns on technique- here- exactly..." Fluidity " awesome advice on practicing ...I agree whole-heartedly - " incredible ' spark ' he puts into his playing " precise beyond measure- and the Passion ~! My goodness! You feel. like you've been touched by an angel when you listen to Buddy Rich. The way I see it, both Jazz and Rock got a major 'Fast Track ' 'DNA sonic injection in the '50's and '60's from Buddy's Pioneering time signatures, styles and tempo shifts /etc. I hear Buddy Rich influences across the board of ALL genres- ...Ginger Baker , Keith Moon- and countless others
Ah so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you!!
Buddy still influences me today. Check out the Boston Pops PBS performance. This was the first time I saw him and it blew me away.
I will definitely check it out!
Right around 6-minute mark I believe those triplets are what is referred to as a flam tap Triplett.. I also saw him about 18 times ..mostly at Disneyland in the mid 70's
THAT LEFT HAND!!!!!!!!!!!
You know, something that rarely gets mentioned unless we're talking ergonomics is the whole body physicality of the player.
Buddy "whips" and "flings" his sticks with a kind of casual abandon, an attitude of 'oh yeah, and that tom gets a hit too' look.
Manu Katche said a long time ago he likened his playing to dancing (and had a couple years of ballet under his belt at the time).
Philly Jo was clearly thinking of what was happening between the hits, and that smile!
Peart had a way of eyeballing the next cymbal he was going to hit, and was such a power hitter, then picked up Gruberstyle and started dancing a bit more.
Terry Bozzio WAS the Devil in Zappa's band, and had 360 degree swivels for shoulder blades.
Great video!
glad you dug the video, and you are so right!
It's really the movement IN BETWEEN the notes, that makes the difference. I say that all the time, and it's a huge part of what I teach. You gave so many fantastic examples of that exact principle. Thanks for watching bud!
@@DimitriFantini Anytime. I am currently practicing your singles lesson to the menu music loop of Dead By Daylight.
Plodding tempo. 🙂🤘
IT'S CALLED TECHNIQUE---EXAMPLE: OPEN UP STICKCONTROL & ACCENTS & REBOUNDS, PLUS IMAGINATION, & WORK YOUR ASS OFF
Thank you for your time and effort for this video. Amazing!!! The greatest drummer to ever draw breath explained in an articulate manner. Brilliant!!! I learned even more about Buddy today. He was like Shakespeare creating a brilliant poem each and every time.
thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
DUDE! Such a great video.... your editor is really good 😉😉
On the buzzes thing, I like the whipping cream motion he is doing. Not up and down but in to out. Definitely helps with the smoothness and blend.
those buzz motions are so key!
Keep em coming
thanks Omar!!! I will!
Wow the quality of this video is fantastic. Great job man.
thank you so much my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it
THE fastest left hand in the history of music.
pretty insane!
not to mention the one where hes outside on the frank sinatra show he pulls all of that out whilst having a heart attack right after the show he collapsed and was flown to ann arbor michigan where he underwent the quad bypass this was the last show prior to that major operation six weeks to thew day hes in london opening ronnie scotts
Quite apart from his speed and smoothness, I just think he actually gets a better sound out of his kit. Plus the numerous rim shots help. Then there's the rhythms that he infuses, which are like no-one elses.
There have been a lot of great drummers, many with traits that others can't match. But for me, its Buddy number one and daylight second. Then comes a lot of really, really, really great virtuosos.
I think you are absolutely correct ... for example he really had his snare and snare wires dialed in to make his playing sound amazing!! With a different sound, his snare would not at all have that special Buddy magic ...
i would subscribe but the language
Ian Paice!
You can try and copy what Buddy is playing all you want. Do you SOUND like Buddy? No. You don’t. Nice video, though.
Not sure I claimed to sound like, or attempt to sound like Buddy. Glad you enjoyed the video!
