Woww ❤️ Beautiful drumming!!

Your drumming and your percussion expression amaze me special request from me to you as one of your fans please play some buddy rich drumming for please dedicate it to boom thank you

Not really a fan of that sound. I thought what Ernest was playing did not fit the scene. No doubt that they can play but the finished product was lacking any melody even considering buddy’s drive. It went into oblivion. Buddy did his best to drive the song but it ended up being over driven to a dead end. Still I wish I had buddy’s chops. Thanks for posting.

Vier habens kapiert! 🙂

Buddy never actually played with anyone…….they all had to play with him

Love it ,Funjy man 😂😂

❤️☀️,. sweeties,..

Buddy really embarrassed himself here. This might be the worst thing I’ve ever seen him do. You realize just how limited he actually was and how repetitive he was. A one trick pony really.

Killer stuff, man!! 🤘🥁🤘

Basically a drum solo with some other music in between.

Man who speaks too much say nothing.

Buddy Rich had very good technique, but his grotesque exhibitionism and bad temper made him a real pain in the ass, difficult for musicians to bear.

dang what a bunch of noise. I wish he hadn't have done this. Really hard to listen too, and nothing funky or fusion about it. Kind of sad really.

Парень на басе терминатор!👍Соло Бадди здесь бесмыссленно,ничего выдающегося он не сыграл,а композицию испортил в этом жанре.Хотелось бы больше послушать бас и клавишные и именно в стиле фью́жн.Это я,как барабанщик мыслю.🤗

Every Buddy Rich video on RUclips has him playing a drum solo. The music seems to be incidental. He's obviously technically brilliant, but the music is not very interesting. There were a lot of great fusion drummers around this time. They had chops but also, played with a groove, and served the music. Billy Cobham, Alphonse Mouzon, and Lenny White were my favorites.

That's not funk he sounds like a bad Tony Williams. No way you can keep a groove with a band when it's all about you. The guy can play drums but he can't do everything that's how the ego makes you delusional. Real fusion would've rocked his world with some hard-core humility that he definitely needed

Actually hard to believe there was once a place for highly technical instrumental music on network television...

Hmmmm.... that's not his cut of tea....and three good musicians don't make nessecarily a good band...or performance....

Buddy sounds like shit on this. Big Band was his forte’

Close your eyes and listen . Appears so much more difficult to understand what buddy is playing

Buddy prided himself on being able to do anything better than anybody. Here he's playing the fashionable genre of the time. But it's really just Buddy doing what he does. The surroundings may have been a bit more modern for the time, but it essentially became just a new rhythm for him to solo over.

Buddy is showing off his virtuosity but it adds nothing to the song that they are playing. He just needlessly overpowered the other two guys.

Finally, some interesting music he’s playing to

Drums should be background, not forefront. No matter how good the player, he should be underneath and driving it, not on top and smothering it.

Can't wait for the long lost "Buddy Plays Country" videos to get re-discovered.

Buddy plays jazz-rock! This is a real find.That is probably Ernest Vantrease, longtime pianist for Ray Charles, on Fender Rhodes.

Huh…if it looks like a Fender Rhodes piano, and it sounds like a Fender Rhodes piano, I would say it is a Fender Rhodes piano, with vibrato.

I have a recording of Buddy doing the West Side Story suite where he breaks into funk. It's hideous. This isn't any better. I'm a HUGE Buddy fan, and would make an argument he was the best drummer ever. But grooving on a funk tune? Eh. Solo was great, but with the band? Nope. Not my thing.

So there actually was a period when he only had two people to yell at?

I loved it when Buddy played funk.

should stick to talk back shows..... enough about meeee...lets talk about meeeeeee.....

Buddy is too much on top of everything with his rudimental machine gun fury. He never developed that loose time feel , ghost note, behind the beat groove found in soul, funk etc. The African inspired polyrhythms were a bit beyond his be-bop, on the one chops. He's trying to be hip here but it just doesn't work. Herbie Hancock would never have hired Buddy. It's possible his style would have worked in the fusion or prog rock idioms. So much of that music was very tightly orchestrated with drumming that was very demanding in complex time signatures but also very forward placed syncopation.

To be honest, I find the other two players more interesting in this context.

Buddy and Jaco would have been amazing!! Both grossly overplaying together. 😂

Go ahead, tell HIM to “stay in the pocket..” 😅😅😅😅🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 He can’t: he has CHOPS! Sorry, Ringo…

Any one wonder why jazz is never on mainstream tv anymore? Here’s your answer.

When Keith Moon died, Buddy Rich should have joined "The Who".

This is my 3rd comment, but I just realized something. Buddy was very critical of some other Genres of Music, especially Country. On the other hand, he must have thought enough about Funk Drumming to want to want to do his own take on it. He must have been at least a little familiar with James Browns Drummers Clyde Stubblefield and John Starks, and Herbie Hancocks Drummer Mike Clark. Thanks.

Who plays the organ/piano?!

The bass player knows what he is doing - the pianist is on the right track, too. The drummer is obviously an amazing player… but clearly not quite on the same page. It is difficult to criticise Buddy Rich without people getting upset, but this just demonstrates to me that he was a virtuoso in his chosen style of big band drumming. Not so much at other styles.

I never heard this before, never knew Buddy got into Fusion. This is good !!! Will look for more of this. Thanks !

Buddy is funky

Very good!

Hmmm, the only thing I’ve seen him do I didn’t like. He only had one style, and this ain’t it. And this just further reinforces to me, Zildjian cymbals sound like utter shit and always have.

Wow! Never knew Carson had any fusion on. Buddy Rich Hell Yeah but Fusion? WOW!

Gadd should have taught him how to swing and groove simultaneously.

Engineer didn't seem to think that the bass was important 😂

Buddy plays well . But not with notes . Very bad . Improvis. That what the boy just must by learning. Written robert van Zanten. Best drummer of the world

You are one heck of a drummer digging your style my new drumming hero

Although this isn’t a prime example of fusion, it gives me clearer insight than lots of other fusion into how jazz drumming informs fusion drumming, maybe because it's on the more jazzy side.
