as neil Peart said "there was Buddy, then there was everyone else" stunning
Everybody forgets Gene Krupa
@@billviola7884nobody who knows drumming forgets gene Krupa. However, Krupa supposedly mentioned that nobody was as good as buddy rich. Nuff said
And Neil was SO right!
And everyone who knows gene Krupa knows buddy was the best
It was called the impossible drum solo because the entire time he played this solo he was having a full fledged heart attach . He left the stage and was rushed right to the emergency room . He survived and went on to play for a number of more years . Buddy Rich was a master musician and a force of nature .
He was actually having a heart attack during this solo and kept going! That's insane!
And thats what makes it the “impossible” solo lol crazy
Was looking for this comment. His daughter confirmed this. He knew something was wrong (but fuck it he was ready to die on stage LOL) and so did his daughter as he was leaving the kit.
Now i know why I can't play this....my health is great! Crazy stuff
U can't literally see when it starts happening. Watch his face.
His drum beats literally took the place of his actual heart beats for a moment up there, and he walked off the stage... and it was that level of performance. Holy shit
I went to see him in a small hotel in Dayton Ohio in the mid 70's. There were maybe 50-60 people there. I had a chance to talk to him and as a drummer myself he was very gracious. We talked drumming and you will note that his left hand held the stick farther forward, at times past mid stick. He handed me a stick and showed me why and refined the pressure points in my left hand grip. He respect novice drummers. It is a major memory of mine.
His single stroke roll has never ever been matched and the end of this solo makes that evident.He is the GOAT
Amazing player Dave! 🙌
Buddy is the GOAT but is El Estepario Siberiano as fast?
@@iconoclastic12007yup he got that one hand roll down and the feet. He is the one of the best
There is no GOAT drummer. Buddy Rich is one of the greatest for sure but determining the greatest is impossible. The fact is Rich could never do the things that Neil Peart or Danny Carey do/did with their massive drum kits. Rich never demonstrated that he could do odd time signatures. There are many great drummers with none being the greatest. I remember jazz people in the 60s looked down at his showmanship and considered Max Roach better.
The best part? Buddy had a mild heart attack in the middle. That's why you see him grimacing in the middle, and why he looks so wasted at the end. Of course, he was playing an outdoor gig in Central America, wearing a full tuxedo in the heat and humidity. His daughter Cathy Rich has told the story before.
You might be badass, but you'll never be "Buddy Rich finishing a drum solo and then the rest of the tune, then walking out to the lip of the stage and taking a bow, all while having a heart attack" badass.
By the way, guys, this is the very end of Buddy's famous "West Side Story Suite." Treat yo'self and check out the entire piece sometime.
50% of heart attacks are silent (no symptoms). The rest range from mild left arm pain to intolerable agony.
@@patrickbrennan2864 Great. Which means I probably have had ten mild ones....
@@trafalgerdavis7839
Uh-oh....
Heartbreak?
Greasy hamburgers?
@@patrickbrennan2864 All of the above.
Seriously? That is incredible.
The drummer for the Carpenters, Cubby, O'Brian once said this:"Karen Carpenter was a more accomplished player than most people realized. No less a figure than Buddy Rich considered her to be a superior player. “I remember one time when Karen and I went to see Buddy’s band,” says Cubby O’Brien. “I knew Buddy fairly well, so before the show I took her backstage to meet him. I said ‘Buddy, this is Karen Carpenter.’ He said, ‘Karen Carpenter, do you know that you’re one of my favorite drummers?” As tough as Buddy could be on drummers sometimes, he always respected someone who played the instrument well.”
The Carpenters are one of my favorite acts of all time. Thanks for this Cheryl
Karen Carpenter was a gifted drummer/percussionist and most drummers know it. There are some videos of her that are completely out of this world.
Thank you for this post. I remember seeing her solo on a tv show back in the early ‘70’s and being blown away, but I was perhaps 9 or 10 at the time and I’d forgotten about it.
Karen was a good drummer but not anywhere near 200,000 other drummers who were around during her lifetime. There is video of her playing....it's just okay. She got TV exposure that others didn't, nothing more.
Wow awesome 🙂
The drummer's drummer! The speed of his hands and the control. GOAT!
One of the best solos I've ever seen.
You hear all the hype about him and you think “yeah, whatever” and then you actually see him play and you’re picking your jaw up off the floor. That left hand….🤯 Always a great time on your channel. I’d love to see you react to some Joe Morello too please.
Not to mention: I see a lot of people in the years since his death waving him away as "too bombastic," that "he wouldn't get away with that in anybody else's band." First of all, if you say that, you never saw him play a ballad like "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life" on brushes with his band. You haven't heard his trio work from the 40s and 50s with Lester Young. And you definitely forgot the fact that he was the drummer on the classic album "Ella And Louis," joining the Oscar Peterson Trio to accompany them on absolute classics like "Cheek To Cheek."
Name a drumming thing from loud to quiet, from simple to complex, and Buddy could do it better than anyone. Period.
I'm late to his youtube channel so I have to catch up an watch his reacts videos. But you rt his left hand was no Dame joke. More talent in one hand then 90% of drummers in today's world. An ill bet the house mortgage cars everything on its very hard to duplicate buddy rich.
@@joeday4293 Absolutely Joe, I was lucky enough to meet my hero at Ronnie's Scots and in Cheltenham, shook his hand and I've not wash it since,😃😃 that was in 1974 & 1982, The best the very best.👍
And Buddy Rich is the only performer I've watched these clips of, that could keep me 100% captivated with just his snare drum.
Thank you SO much! I loved seeing him on Carson and elsewhere.
Hes a legend. Pure, undeniably, positively a legend.
I always loved Buddy Rich. I never missed him on Johnny Carson. He always had Johnny in stitches with his outspokenness. He gave his opinions very plainly. He was one of John Bonham’s idols too.
I enjoyed him on the Tonight Show as well. I remember him having a quick wit.
Saw him twice. Sat right on the side of his drum kit. 2 feet. The greatest EVER.
The guy was not human! The skill and speed displayed here is off all charts!
Indeed William!
There is a video of Buddy on a sound stage by himself doing a solo for like 12 minutes that is freaking mind blowing!!! I wish I knew the name of it.
All his solos are completely nuts
"What were you doing when you were 4"
I could pick my nose with with either my right or left index finger..winning!!
I could eat dirt
honestly this is just one of his normal every day solos. He has a bunch more on CZcams that blow even this one away. He will always be known as the Greatest of his time by far and every Amazing drummer now will tell you that they learned so much from him and his techniques and that helped them become some of greatest drummers now
The speed of his hands, single or both, is ridiculous. Blazing
Such skill! What a legend!
If your a real drummer you can really understand what he's doing is insane, just makes you laugh 😂
Yup it’s madness 🤣👌
You can see what Neil learned from him …Amazing ..
Just read he had an heart attack during this solo... Are you kidding me.. Legend
He had a minor stroke is all, went to the hospital after this performance and was later released being okay.
Respectfully, no stroke is minor.
😮
RIP the drumming King of Kings Buddy Rich. What a talent he had. Not just his speed but his timing. He makes those drums talk.
100% Ray!!!
I make my drums talk too. They just don't say much.
Gene Krupa & Buddy Rich the original drum Gods... Max Roach was pretty insane too!
I’ve seen lots of videos of Buddy Rich and had the immense pleasure of seeing him live twice at Disneyland, of all places, in Los Angeles. Unforgettable! However, I had not seen this particular video before! Spectacular! And I can’t imagine having to be that physical in a freaking suit!
Chills, every time i see this guy. As a former wannabe drummer seeing the mechanics and precision of Buddys hands is a testament his greatness. He will always be remembered. I remember watching him on the Johnny Carson show as a youngster. RIP Mr. Rich..
You should check out Buddy Rich vs Ed Shaughnessy. In a drum battle on the tonight show with Johnny Carson.. Phenomenal drumming from both drummers. If you never seen it your missing a treat.
I've done it Alan!
When Neil Peart was asked to play at a Buddy Rich tribute he went to one of Buddy’s students to learn traditional grip since he always played matching. Even the greats can learn new things.
He studied with Freddy Gruber.
I can't believe he was having a heart attack during this drum solo f****** Legend
IMO Buddy had the best drum sound. So natural and real. I love his tuning.
He is absolutely the greatest ever!
I love how many myths came up with this guy. "he never practiced a day in his life" "he can't read music" but no denying dude was an absolute freak, i'd argue the best drummer ever
Those two are true, he never practiced...he DID rehearse with the bands in which he played but he never spent extra time practicing. And I DO believe he didn't read music.
He never practiced. His practice was with the band. Not a myth. There a few things he would do in preparation, but, he just was very instinctive. He did practice Karate
He could NOT read music, never practiced aside from with the band and near the end of this solo had a heart attack and still finished the song. 100 percent truth from his daughter who was there. There will never be another Buddy.
@@tombaker6082 I found out recently he also had a killer heart attack way back in 1959. Was never supposed to play the drums again.
The GOAT of this time and forever!🥁
Never ever get bored of this.. The master at work.. Holy shit.. Love it when a drummer goes in the zone.. Brill upload... 🥁
"Andew" on the "play button" there, haha.
Insane drum solo though, and with traditional grip.
what also made him unique is he always performed in a Tux that alone had to make it even harder. Have you watch him a Jerry Lewis do dueling drums?
Saw him live on stage with his orchestra in 1973 at my High School gym...Awesome...He even autograph my cast that i had on my ankle at the time..
Thank you for the video on Buddy Rich and you're very warm comments about him he was one of the greatest
Buddy rich and Neil peart will forever be the greatest drummer’s ever. You should also react to the west side story drum solo by buddy rich in 1974. The 1974 drum solo and The Hague drum solo was my favorites in my opinion👍👍.
Oh wow. Good call!
Dude was freakishly amazing.
Watched him on TV back in 50s, mesmurized by his energy....
I have watched countless of drum videos, and in my eyes Buddy will always be number one. Maybe some drummers can approach his ability or equal it, but I find it impossible for any other human on earth to surpass what he did. He will always be my favorite drummer. My preferred genre is Classic rock with my favorite band of Led Zeppelin. I don't even like jazz, so this says a lot. Rolling Stone has the audacity in placing him at number 15 behind RIigo Star at 14 with Bonham and Keith Moon as one and two. That is criminal in my book!
He’s the goat of drums! He is a legend!
Truly incredible
Neil Peart did a solo album called Burning For Buddy. Its so incredibly good.
Yeah, others have already pointed it out. The "impossible" part was the heart attack he had in the middle of it, and kept slaying the kit.
He had a minor stroke is all, went to the hospital after this performance and was later released being okay.
Excited to have joined in on the live chat for the first time.👍👍
Seeing Buddy Rich on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson as a small child inspired me to start playing drums in the school band at 8 years old. I was not a natural talent, but I loved to play, and that is the important part in the end.
wow 😎 never thought I'd like him or be blown away BUT I AM👍 Great video n review Andrew. Like where your channel is going! Keep it up❣️
I wonder if this is the performance Buddy suffered a heart attack mid solo, but finished anyways. All I remember is it was in 1982.
One thing I’m not sure many people realize, is that buddy came from a different era where they played all the time with rarely had any time off, unlike Rockstars today. He was constantly touring the states, North America, for that fact and Europe, till he died.
Love drums, great channel and comments, love it to listen to you :)
I was amazed at how old he was playing at that level. I remember watching hing him as a kid, especially on Johnny Carson's show.
Phenomenal freak of a player!
I've seen Buddy Rich at least 5 times , usually at Disneyland and Marineland in the 70's all thanks to my grandma , thank you Nana !!
Wow. AWESOME
That's why every drummer worth his or her salt names him as their inspiration!!
Amazing!! Such a legend!!
Hi Andrew, Neal from Massachusetts here! I started taking drum lessons at 6 y/o (mostly because I was destroying all my mother's brushes and pans! 😂) followed by the addition of piano lessons a couple years later and I took a total of ~8 years of lessons on both drums and piano. I continue to play music on a regular basis, but I've just played keyboards for the last ~3 decades. I was a huge fan of Buddy Rich and his jazz contemporary, Louis Bellson, when I was a kid (along with some rock drummers like Danny Seraphine, Phil Collins and Bobby Colomby). My parents took me to see Buddy play live with his big band 2 or 3 times when I was between 10 and 12 in the mid 70's. I got to experience a little of Buddy's "temperamental" attitude when my father brought me outside to try to meet him as he was smoking and talking to another guy between sets. My father introduced himself and said something to the effect of "This is my son, Neal. He's a drummer and he'd love to meet you". Buddy turned toward me with an annoyed look on his face, said "Hi" and shook my hand for about a half second and then turned around and started talking to the other guy again. My infatuation with Buddy quickly faded after that encounter. I met Louis Bellson (superb drummer/writer/arranger and the first person to use double bass drums) a couple years later when he was playing a show with his wife, Pearl Bailey, at a local music theater where I was volunteering as an usher. I watched their soundcheck (the only person in the seats) and after they finished, he walked up the aisle next to me and I said "Hi, Mr. Bellson, my name is Neal and I'm a drummer. I have one of your albums and I love your playing". As a total contrast to Buddy's reaction, Louis whipped around, grabbed my hand and with a big smile on his face, said "Hi Neal, it's great to meet you. Keep on drumming"!
That guy is insanely quick.
Truly amazing
Awsome and it was so enjoyable ability. We're blessed.
Buddy and Gene Krupa did an album together back in the day. It might have been called “Drum Battle” or something close. Amazing stuff!
Just wanted to say a quick thank you for your content. Thanks for barely ever pausing the videos; really like that. I have passed on subscribing and/or watching other reactionary CZcamsrs, because of way too much pausing. Thanks again. I enjoy your vids
It is always good to see the old grandmasters at work. More please.
One of Buddy's greatest skills wasn't necessarily his technical skill, but his creativity with the technical. Phrasing, dynamics, variety. His solos made sense in the same way a horn's solo makes sense in context of the Chord progression. One section leads to another in a logical sense.
Contrast this with many other drummers who are essentially doing solos like Animal on the Muppets
makes my eyes water he's so great
What a great icon of the percussion world. Amazing stuff. Couldn't help but imagine a looney tunes character falling down a ridiculously long flight of stairs through that entire video.
Those young people and their drums. :)
Buddy Rich = Master Commander of the Aliens.
What the hell!!!
I am one that needs a talking to....thank you for opening my ears and eyes to this!!
He was said to be Jim Hendrix of drumming, he was a young dude during the 50`s and 60`s. He and Gene Krupa.
Seen him live a few times and yes he is amazing.
Buddy Rich is the man. Many of the greats got there influence from him including Ginger Baker who always considered himself as a jazz drummer as opposed to a rock drummer. Although I consider myself as a metal drummer, alot of my speed comes from playing jazz in my younger years
HI MT GREAT VID MT AWESOME MY TOP 4 DRUMMERS BUDDY RICH, GEAN CRUPPER JOHN BONNAM AND JIM MARSHALL, AND YOU.
HE NEVER MAKES A MISTAKE!!!
I've heard and seen this solo on dvd but then it was called" the West side story solo" or somthing like that... It is " impossible" but to me it's his famous drumoutro to the bands fantastic West side story medley...
Thank you so much for this video!🙂👍
Viva Chile! Nice hoodie mate
🇨🇱 🙌
I like that he kicked serious ass wearing a suit and tie. Lots of similarities with Yoyoka. They both play by ear, began about the same age and come from performing arts families.
Thankfully Yoyoka is being taught how to be a good person. One big difference.
@@helenlig323 Yup. Her family seems to be supporting her in a very good way.
Buddy rich could give a drum machine a run for its money
You've got a giant pair on you for using that michael buffer clip. he's sued children. also, love the channel! you're a legend.
This is the solo where he actually had a heart attack while playing
Crazy town!
Dude's left hand was like a machine!!!
4:05 amazing!!
🙌
I love his high hat trick
My Dad had all of his and Gene Kruppa’s records so I grew up listening to them!
Great to hear!
What a f*****g beast!!!!
love the OG standard grip
There Are Great Drummers and Then There Is Buddy The Greatest. Pete sr
Legend Georgiana!
Best ever!
OG blast beat!!!
He's from an other time. Back then, each lesson started with at least 5mn of the basics and music was learned right from the first years. That's how you become that good several decades later.
There is a video somewhere of a solo of Buddy, where he does his decrescendo roll down to the point where he is just bouncing the tips off of each other and it's a paradiddle roll. It's really faint but you can make it out. He brings the sticks up to his face and the intensity of his concentration is astounding. Then he walks it back to the snare and brings it back up to the full-blown deal. There is only one Buddy Rich, there will never be another. sorry so wordy.
The definition of Virtuoso
Possibly the best drum solo ever especially since he's wearing a suit!
The artistry Buddy had was something else
Buddy Rich is a staple for every drummer I know.
LEGEND!
Seen him as a young kid, was amazing to watch.
Buddy Rich is like a fine wine he just got better with age at that one point that it was just his wrists that were going back and forth on the snare did you see how fast that was going was only his wrists and his fingers incredible how could you even begin to copy this drum solo Buddy Rich is the greatest drummer if not he is one of the greatest drummers ever there are a lot of really really good drummers but I would put Buddy Rich at number one amazing
Legend! Also my parents are from Chile
