For reference: Johnny was a decent amateur drummer and worshipped Buddy Rich. They were friends busting each other's chops here.
I read that Buddy gave Johnny one of his drum kits.
They were roommates at one point.
How do you even know that and how do i find friends who knows these things @tsarbomba1
@@J35Y1 Read a couple of Buddy's biographies. When they were both starting out they were roommates.
Buddy was a fantastic player (and he absolutely knew it) .
I was lucky enough to have seen Buddy once with his band at University of Maryland. He's the goat .
Thankyou J. Carson Estate/Cathy Rich for putting this out on Y.T. It is the finest quality! I know there would be a market for a DVD(s) of Buddy's appearances on the Tonight Show. Drummers worldwide would be forever grateful. Their friendship is fun to see again in these amazing shows.
Buddy an inspiration. But Neil Peart was 1000%, a better percussionist.

I’m guessing you’re deaf.
I've been wanting that collection for a long as I can remember. I wish someone would put it out!
@@HappyArchaeology-mm4ngDifferent kinds of drumming at different times, different music. Can you really compare?
@coldwinter5710 Of course. What is your exact argument? So I can answer clearly. Tooti died recently. One of the best blues drummers of all time. Buddy Rich one of my first to watch. As a learning percussionist. I became more than just a drummer. I won't list every type of instrument, I have played. Make your point. Just for clarification. If you wish. Your opinion seems cloudy.
What a freak of nature. I know what’s coming but blows me away every time
Johnny's amazing generosity by allowing Buddy to solo that long, you would never see that today on network television.
It’s crazy how controlled and fake so many things are now…
I've been following Buddy since 1970 when I was 17. I don't remember ever seeing this clip. Brought tears to my eyes 😅. He was/is the biggest influence to my drumming career.
Who do you drum for sir if you don't mind me asking
What a Beast of a drummer WoW
🕯. Anniversary of Buddy Rich's death,
April 2, 1987 (age 69)
~ he toured/performed to the end.
Buddy Rich was a force unlike any other
Hands down the greatest drummer of all time. Gone but never forgotten
Amazing but John Bonham will have a word
@@jeffgolladay5813 yeah...no he won't
Senri Kawaguchi is better than Rich ever was.
@@Richard-wh9wm in your opinion
@@imandan1966 😂😂😂
He was amazing 👏
Burned those drums,
What a beast.
The king of drummers. An absolute genius.
I saw a buddy almost 20 times from 73 to 80... Unbelievably awesome
Freakin mindboggling what this guy can do with a drum kit.
I can’t fathom ANYONE to ever live on planet earth could be this good. AMAZING.
I was born about 15 years too late. In the mid 50’s. Big band and great musicians died in the 70’s. I miss these late night shows and the true talent that was in them.
I am the same age, but Buddy was my God father. I grew up with all those guys around all the time. True, their hey day6 was past, but Buddy did his best to stay up and stay hip. I know all the stories of Buddy. Ignore them. He was a warm, wonderful cat who showed me so much and laughed all the time. Watch Harry James Orchestra play "Green Onions" to see Buddy and my dad, Red Kelly on bass, play together.

What a great story! I bet you didn't even know it was a big deal because you were so young.
Cool story " Mr. Eightbars ". I'm in my sixties so I watched Carson all the time. I began playing drums in 1973, subsequently whenEVER the worlds greatest drummer was on , I didn't miss. This guy is UNBELIEVEABLE. Would have loved to have met this musical Giant.....You're a fortunate individual...Long May You Run....!

Says he's born in the wrong age... my friend, you're not born in the 90s like me. There was plenty of good music and entertainment still being made way into your adulthood, while I was born during the fall of television and the music industry. The grass is always greener.
ok, think about drumming fifty yrs ago and it's buddy. fifty years before that in the roaring twenties they were only just starting to use the drum kit like they do currently. wow, this is still fresh today. timeless
Greatest Drummer ever! You can be cocky, BUT, can you back it up? Buddy backed it up and THEN SOME! These videos are Priceless, Thank you.
Agree. Best ever.
@@joelhoulette3244 Joel, I watch drum videos all the time. What amazes me about Buddy( besides his impeccable precision and technique) is that Many times( especially on Carson) he would display his blazing precise artistry, DRESSED IN A SUIT A TIE!!!!!!!! Not this particular video, but I have yet to see ANYONE play as blazing amazing with precise tactical skill and artistic FLAIR, confined and restricted in a SUIT AND TIE. If that exists, someone, Please direct me to it!!!! It doesn't exist, which is just another reason why Sir Buddy blows them all away!
@@docschweitz7606Look for a video called Joe Morello The Great Solo.
@@docschweitz7606Louie Bellson!!!!
@@sticktrik ok Mr Stick, educate me please. I openly confess I know nothing about Louie Bellson. I am curious!!! Are there any videos of I can check out. I love to learn. Serious.
Absolutely amazing..
To know beyond all doubt that anything is the best of its kind is rare. Buddy Rich is rarer still.
To see this man walk up to those drums cold and play at that level is amazing.....Most of those Tonite Show videos were shot when Buddy was in his later years. Imagine him 20, or 30 years younger! He took no drum lessons,, couldnt read a note,,.by all accounts, never practiced, he said, "you get better by playing,. not practicing," had a photographic memory, a genius I Q of drumming..and an Amazing GOD GIVEN TALENT!
Who needs a Band when You got Buddy Rich👍🏾🤠🤳
I had a once in a lifetime experience in 1984 when Buddy toured in Sweden and I got to see him perform and meeting him afterwards for a handshake and he kindly signed an LP I fortunately brought to the concert!
I'm a woodwind guy and started playing big band jazz in the mid 70s in highschool. I am so lucky to have seen Buddy several times. I saw all the guys still touring, Stan Kenton, Maynard, Basie, Woody and more. We played charts from them all. I lost my entire collection of albums a few years ago in a fire, but with streaming I'm thrilled to have access to all I had and more. Thanks for posting!
Okay, he’s not Virgil Donati, or Thomas Lang, or a lot of other phenomenal modern drummers… and there’s STILL an argument to be made that he’s the GOAT. He was phenomenal. Some of his techniques and his speed still rival anything that any of the best modern drummers are doing.
I never get tired of watching Buddy play. Fantastic.
An absolute legend.....
My dad used to play jazz in this era and played with a few of the greats around London. He said he couldn’t believe what he saw when he saw Buddy Rich.
Just astounding talent!
The Prince of Darkness. LOL
😂
unreal, one of the most incredible drum solo's you will ever see...thanks for reposting this clip
Johnny was always bringing the great bringer of the talent! Buddy Rich, WOW!! Look at him attack those skins!! Go, MAN, GO!! Thanks Johnny Estate for the memories.
Happy Birthday Buddy Rich!! Saw you live just a few years before passing in NYC at Lincoln Center
I can play like that in my sleep...cause that's when I'm dreaming
Dynamite! Buddy Rich was the greatest natural drummer in the history of the world. I did think around the time this aired, Buddy was under an endorsement contract with Ludwig. So, I'm not sure why the show got him Slingerland Drums to play. Maybe I'm wrong on the timing and Buddy was in between endorsements. But man those Slingerlands sound crisp as fresh lettuce! We miss you dearly Buddy & Johnny & Ed.

🥁 🔥
Neil Peart
Neil Peart also said Buddy Rich was the greatest drummer of all time.
@johnmaid3161
Peart wouldn't say Peart was the best...
LOL
Only a narcissistic would say that.
Buddy is fast with only a 5 piece set, Peart is amazing on a 30 piece set.
Huge difference.
First of all, they didn't have 30 piece kits back then. If they did, Rich would've been even better. I saw Rush live 7 times. Peart was very talented, but wasn't in the same league as Rich.
@@johnmaid3161
Opinion, not a fact.
The best drummer. EVER.
It’s a weird thing… Buddy rich is a phenomenon. A guy whose life Spans the history of jazz from just after it’s beginning until the mid-1980s and who is gifted (mainly from starting in infancy) with chops no one could touch. It’s so important to get these clips out in the public domain as much as possible because buddy’s playing will speak to young drummers for generations to come. Having good clear copies of these things is very important. For the furtherance of music education. Either way, thanks again… And looking forward to the next find.
Pin this comment!
Saw him live twice, he will never be beaten.😊
Buddy was in raring to burn form..uncle Ed told me he was afire that night ..even after surgery..that's one tough Marine ..semper fi
He really was a Phenom! Like an alien with special powers. He and Carson were really good together in banter as well. I loved the videos of him and Shaughnessy playing together. I really don't think there will ever be anyone comparable. Guys have tried, and there are some great talents out there, but with Buddy it's one in an infinite number. ♾️
The GOAT. 🥁
He was the nicest guy. When he played at Disneyland at I think it was called Carnation Garden during the summer. Early 70s.
He’d sit on his drum chair and talked to me and a friend about music. All this during breaks.
Although I wasn’t a musician he still knew I loved a variety of music and loved talking to us.
We were about 17 at the time. I think he just enjoyed hearing our youthful perspective on the state of music.
Great old memory.
I've seen him perform in different videos and on The Tonight Show when I was a little kid, and I am still awed.
Buddy Rich was my idol when i went the Cleveland Institute of Music 🎶
Always amazing, and such a fun person to be around.
The greatest drummer ever
Neil Peart
Amazing drum solo!!!
Look - seeing ANY Buddy Rich is a YES for me
Did I hear removal of two disks and a week later what we just saw ! One tough son of a gun .
Sooooooo much music in that amazing drummer!🥁 🎉😎👏🏻👊🏻🙏🏻👏🏻✌🏻
i think i actually saw this episode. i for sure remember seeing him on johnny at least once and this very well coulda been it. thanks for posting.
only a drummer can appreciate his left hand
Possibly the only drummer I have ever seen do a one handed roll and keep it going
He always sounded best on Slingerlands
There’s no one drummer 🥁 out there today , that’s as good as he was , just amazing timing ⏱️
Watching him play on Johnny Carson when I was kid was the reason I wanted to play the drums.
In June of 1968, as a 15 year old professional guitar player in-training, I found myself sitting backstage at Ceaser's Palace in Las Vegas, in Buddy's dressing room. He was more than friendly and courteous as I was already a fan and enthralled with his drumming. I still have the autograph from that evening framed on my wall. Buddy was THE best and THE hippest. And ALL drummers should be required to hold the left hand stick properly! I miss Buddy, Johnny and all of the founding fathers of our culture.
Buddy Rich is the World's Greatest Drummer there ever was, is now, and forever shall be!
Freaking Awesome.... Grew up on Zepplin..Early Scorpions..Who...etc... but the big band sound is Incredible !!!
The GOAT we bow down
I remember when I first saw Buddy as a young boy. Went into the kitchen,, layed out some pots and pans and started drumming. I'm 63 now and still playing.
Hands down the greatest ever.
⚜️🎶🎭 A Brooklyn Boy - we shook hands at ‘Disneyland 🥁🤪🍻Rip !!!🌷🎺
I had never seen this one, thank you for posting it..
Was Angie Dickinson on this Carson video some fifty years ago in Burbank?!?
Smokin hot
Magic
Saw Buddy and his band at the Imperial Room in the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. Amazing!
The Master Buddy Traps Rich
I’ve Seen Him at
Disney Land in
The 1970’s at The Carnation Theatre
Up Close
Just a Amazing
Drummer 🥁
Thank You Buddy
Buddy Rich and Ronnie Tut both brilliant.
The G.O.A.T of drums.
Buddy Rich became better as he aged. Amazing drum solo, I believe he didn't respect rock drummers but he was perceptive enough to embrace the form and keep an eye on the competition, so to speak. His hand speed and dexterity even considering today's era is amazing.
Those who say Buddy wasn't musical need to have their ears checked. He was as musical as they come, AND blessed with prodigious technique. Killer combination.
He was the best. Loved him Carmine Appice
And I got to hang out with him on his bus after a show once...I still can't believe it.
I first saw Buddy Rich in a drum battle with Animal on The Muppet Show.
Buddy won.
Just looked that battle up against Animal... thanks for that! Indeed, Buddy won.
I remember that 🤣🥁🤜💥
@@kl9307 The drum part for 'Animal' in The Muppets was played by the late Ronnie Verrell, who Buddy admired greatly...
Awesome
I was in jazz band in the earl 70s in high school
Johnny Carson band. Buddy rich
Many others
Went to a jazz band competition in Burbank. Studios
Omg. A wake up call on how good they were
Buddy Rich best drummer ever......Besides Animal....... of course.
I had the pleasure of watching Buddy perform in his home in the Lake Tahoe area.
The occasion was my friends wedding reception, which, along with the small wedding, was conducted in his home.
He was an amazing mechanic on the skins.
The best, in my opinion.
WowI knew he was good but I never actually watched him play till now. Kudos Mr Rich👍🏾🤠🤳
Met him...saw him play live...he's the best drummer ever!
Johnny's comb over cracks me up.
only worse one was rickles
Comb-over means baldness, Johnny Carson always had a full head of hair. I think you meant he had it combed to the side.
@@keithbeck2300No I'm talking about the big white streak thats going across his head from the other side.
He was actually pretty bald when he died@@keithbeck2300
@@J.B24 Doesn't matter. Carson had hair on top of his head. That's not a comb-over. Rickles and van Patten had the most ridiculous comb-overs.
A lot of Rock Stars consider Buddy Rich to be the GOAT 🐐 he even influenced the great Keith Moon 🌚
Neil Peart is/was also a student of Buddy.
The Best. Period.
The best of the best
2:54 “we did one in Erie, Pennsylvania”
Carson was the absolute best! And Buddy Rich wow incredible just the best drummer on the planet in his era
He was amazing, up there without all the assistance!
Imagine the era of musicians at that time. Buddy Rich on drums, Roy Clark on guitar (or anything with strings), Liberace on piano, Dizzy Gillespie on horns, and Jaco Pastorius on bass. What a great band that would be.
Buddy is the absolute best!!!
A rare treat.
Buddy played at my high school...(Mills High) in Millbrae CA...some teacher muat have known him ? He was very alive to say the least ! 😊
Forgot to mention the year he played at my high school..1978 or 1979..Mills High School Millbrae CA
Stunning as always but I must say, having studied his discography for the last 50+ years, that album he was promoting was not his or the band's best work. That's an opinion most of his fans have expressed as well. There's some amazing big band and small group recordings of his that are well worth listening to even if your not into drums or Buddy. Truly great music both live and in studio.
Saw him live in Nashville - there are no words other than BR was and will always be the G.O.A.T!!!!!
Wow! What a great footage!
Both were "masters of their matters", obviously!
And they seemed to like each other genuinely!
May they R.I.P./*\
✌️🤠💥🌟🌀🎉
"Here he is, the King of Darkness, Buddy Rich.". Apparently Johnny's heard the temper tantrum tape.
The best! No one can touch him!
Let me get this straight.
So if Buddy Rich was John the Baptist, then that would make Neil Peart,...well you know. 😉
I don’t know how the heck he did all that playing wearing long sleeve shirts and sweaters all the time
Sweet baby Jesus! Impossible!
