Can't say I'm all knowledgeable about drumming, but I have heard a few and Buddy Rich is the best - even at an older age he still could outplay anybody, not just speed but the flexibility to move anywhere at anytime around his kit incorporating wherever he went into the whole flow - live. No retakes, fill-ins, over-dubs. Just jaw dropping amazing.
Lol he's good but not the best. He plays what i like to call "How crazy and fast can i make this sound" Tell him to play like Virgil Donati and i'll give him props. May i also throw in that everyone has their own style and genre of playing. Buddy rich reminds me of D-Mile. LOL!
DJ GINGER jo jo Mayer is also a groove master. Benny Greb is awesome. But Buddy Rich was so far ahead of his time, it's mind blowing. Let's not forget Tony Royster. Jr, or Gavin Harrison.
Might be "serious talent" but Rich was an arrogant douchebag, might have been a great drummer, but there are plenty better these days than he was, and without Krupa there would have been no Buddy Rich. Rich, like I said was a great drummer, but was fully up himself and put many of his peers "off side" with his nasty attitude , not only to his own musicians at times, but to others around him.
+Brian Sloth What does any of that have to do with the content of this video? He was a flawed human being just like everybody else. Who gives a shit? It doesn't make him any less of great drummer.
Hilarant and brilliant scene!!! Buddy Rich was a real genius, a magician on drums. Gene Krupa defined him as "the greatest drummer ever to have drawn breath" And Jerry Lewis is a real hero of our lives who gave us joy and fantasy, and is not a bad drummer at all. Thanks for postin'.
Wow... Who knew that Jerry Lewis was able to play the drums... When my own grandfather was just about to die... i gave him an harmonica... and he played till he was exhausted... He told me that he had practiced at night sitting on a bench in order not to freeze to death... He was new at the railroad back then... and he did not want to waste money by sleeping inside the station... I had no idea he could play an instrument... Thank you for sharing that story grandpa!
Why are there not people like Buddy and Jerry, people with REAL talent rather than reality tv show Z list dropouts prominent on T.V nowadays? This scene is so brilliant it depresses me how bad the worlds entertainment has got. Sure yiu can find people with talent like this if you look but they dont get the credit they deserve.
MtMarshi I think it has mostly to do with money and society. We have been conditioned to like less. And less comes cheaper but still makes a lot of money for those of interest therein. We have had a talent less scheme that just keeps growing with only a few that slip through on occasion. I often wish I could get in a time machine and leave lol.
+MtMarshi There are so many great drummers today, they are more than likely not just your style of music if you prefer Buddy Rich's style of playing.. But there is Danny Carey, Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, Charly Antolini, and many many more...
+MtMarshi don't do that to yourself fellow human. this kind of music is only heard in low key music clubs nowa days.. the world is backwards when it comes to talent.. shame, but its still well liked by those who have the taste for it ..
WAS BUDDY RICH HUMAN? NO ONE COMES CLOSE TO HIM ON THE DRUMS IN ANY STYLE THEN AND NOW. INCREDIBLE! IT MAKES ME WANT TO QUIT PLAYING!. NO ONE CAN BE THAT GOOD. ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING!!!
When I hear kids get in arguments about who is the worlds greatest drummer none of them know who the fuck Buddy Rich is. Buddy is the best drummer I've ever seen.
"When I hear kids get in arguments about who is the worlds greatest drummer none of them know who the fuck Buddy Rich is. Buddy is the best drummer I've ever seen." Too right, Jeffrey.
I took up drumming when I was 12 and graduated at 14 with a diploma and I watched buddy one day play his skins and he plays them as if it was music by it self not just with the beat for the band but the beat for his own music of sound and he thought the same as me in this field of drumming if you can under stand he is the music now that's drumming and you tune your skins in the key of E with a tuning fork like I was told in class by a professor of music to me .
+camelCase Entertainment I have to agree with you and I always loved his style and his comedic sense....I love the man till this day...Such an artist...Never will there be his equal!!!
Buddy Rich used to stop by Berklee College of Music every so often when he was in Boston. He used to get new musicians for his band at Berklee in the early 70's. I got a new trumpet lesson teacher by happenstance from his band in 1972 or so. His name is Jeffrey Stout, and taught me a heck of a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!
What I love about this is the camera just settles on Rich, with a couple of zoom-ins. Nowadays, with this generation's 'm33jah st00dNts' they'd put 10 different cameras on him, cut and edit a thousand different avante garde angles, put a different angle a beat, put a thousand rainbow lights everywhere, spraying colour around like a vomitorium, leaving a hodge-podge of confusing footage, enough to give you an epileptic fit, an aneurysm and diabetes at the same time. A helpful hint to today's budding directors... Study this footage. All the action is happening with Buddy Rich, he is absolutely captivating. No more input from you is needed. Let true talent shine.
+Htheorphanarian Hilarious! Yes you are right. Directors do it with dancers too - yeah lets focus on the face while the feet are doing all the work. Or in concerts - wicked bass solo but no, let's all look at the insipid lead singer. Fools. Just keep it simple.
Absolutely agree with you, Htheorphanarian. It seems since the late 1980s the rule has been you can't show anything for more than 3 seconds before you switch to a new image. Very often 3 seconds seems like an extended clip. I think it has to do with the minimal attention span that film students began pandering to. It was passed off as 'artistic' back then, but it feels more like marketing than art for obvious reasons.
Excellent video. Shows what a skilled and learned drummer can do. A lot of the drummers today just focus on fast incomprehensible beats to do as fast a possible to make it sound amazing. Buddy actually had some kind of rhythm through sections of his solo's. You can hear the transitions between the regular 4/4 time and onward. Pure Genius.
This is Hilarious! Buddy Rich inspired me to become a drummer back in 1962. in my 52 years as a drummer in Navy Drum & Bugle Corp, marching band and from rock to Bach, in my opinion, there has been no other drummer that could match the technique and speed any better than Buddy Rich. Even today he still sets the standard.
I had the pleasure of seeing buddy Rich live at the Naval training center in Bainbridge Maryland back around 1971. He put on a phenomenal show. Unfortunately there were only about 20 of us in the theater. He was not a happy man but he pounded those drums into submission. I guess many of my fellow sailors in that age group didn't appreciate his music. It was an amazing concert. Truly among the greats of his generation.
MtMarshi, I'm with you. This is amazing! Had no idea Jerry Lewis played drums and my first time seeing Buddy Rich play. WOW!! He has to be the absolute best ever. I'm old enough to remember variety shows like this and there's just not much of anything that compares these day. Mostly mind numbing rubbish to fill 24 hrs for the hundreds of cable networks out there. Sadly, we've truly been dumbed down.
Cool vid, J.S.! Never knew 'ol Jerry L could play. Here's a story my pops told me about Buddy: Around 1939 at the U.T Buddy was supposed to play but showed badly hung-over, so bad he could barely stand. Pops and some other freshmen held him and took him to a cold shower. That did the trick and he gave a good performance!
Jaw droppingly Good - Buddy Rich's Figure Eight is a Home Theatre tester piece..sing sing sing too...and in this video with my all time favourite Jerry Lewis !!
no disrespect to the guys on the plastic buckets or the girls on the drums, but THESE are the real professionals. fair enough also these are grown men with years of experience, training and performing. though the kids should watch these kinds of videos and learn form them. wonder if any director in any music school ever has heard of Rich or Lewis?
Soy argentino jerry lewis si q era un loquillo amo todas sus películas. Gran comediante en la historia del cine y tv... No me canso de verlo.. Mi papá era súper fans de este gran actor..
wonder what Rock Band he would have played in had he been a 70's drummer...you can see where Carl Palmer got his patterns from
7 лет назад
Keith Moon was probably the closest thing to a Buddy Rich in real Rock of the 70's.. Keith was similar but more erratic. Moon and Rich are my 2 favorite drummers.
I think you have the year wrong. This is from an episode of the Colgate Comedy Hour. That ran from 1950 to 1955. Also, Jerry mentions Dean, and Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis broke up as a team in July of 1956. Update: This 1st aired Sunday June 5th 1955.
Buddy was one of my mentors at a distance along with Neil Peart of Rush, and John Bonham among others. All in reality you can do to emulate them is to bring something new to the kit every time you sit down to play. Which is all I've ever done over the past 40+ years since I first decided I wanted to play.
This would have been from the 5 Jun. 1955 episode of the The Colgate Comedy Hour, which Jerry & Dean starred. Personality conflicts broke up the comedy duo in 1957 so it couldn't have been from 1965.
Buddy was the greatest drummer of all time. His influence is still heard today, every time a drummer plays a drum. I, for one, still listen to Buddy and hear his influences in my own playing. Buddy Rocks!
+DaleNE8r I wish I had the patience to make multiple youtube accounts just to down vote this more. Stop trying to take attention from a video by saying you are watching it recently. No one fucking cares.
This episode of the Colgate Comedy Hour was actually broadcast on June 5, 1955 back when Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis were still together. You can hear Jerry mention Dean at the beginning of the clip. Buddy was only 37 at the time and had almost 32 years of drumming history left to go. Real drumming talent from any era will freely admit that this guy was an amazing, unique master of his craft.
boy you just get a little taste of what jerry lewis can actually do on drums, too bad we couldn't hear more. I think few people realize how multi-talented he was, almost sammy davis-ish.
Rich was always larger than life in every appearance, as well as, every performance. He does show briefly in this performance that he could work the hi-hat like no other. To this day, I haven't seen many drummers that could work the hi-hat like he could! RIP Buddy!!!
i completly agree, as i am too a metal drummer and i come to videos like this one and watch where the original best drummer came from. even in video for joey jordison, mike portnoy and such, im giving this guy credit. id proudly shake your hand for what you have said.
recordguy4321 - So what you're saying is they didn't influence young rock musicians (as the best drummers in the world at their time) to be inducted like early blues musicians did?
Well in fact early rock and roll late 40's did spring quite a bit from jazz pioneers like Johnny Otis, and Louie Jordan. But let's face it Buddy Rich hated rock and roll except jazz-rock drummers... he couldnt stand backbeat players like Ringo or Charlie watts and that's a known fact.. That's why there is a jazz hall of fame. I love Buddy Rich too, probably the greatest all around drummer of all time.
This would explain why Jerry's son Gary Lewis was the drummer and lead singer in Gary Lewis and the Playboys in the 60s. obviously Gary learned drums from his father and probably from Buddy Rich as well.

Can't say I'm all knowledgeable about drumming, but I have heard a few and Buddy Rich is the best - even at an older age he still could outplay anybody, not just speed but the flexibility to move anywhere at anytime around his kit incorporating wherever he went into the whole flow - live. No retakes, fill-ins, over-dubs. Just jaw dropping amazing.
Then you my friend have never heard Benny Greb drum.
Lol he's good but not the best. He plays what i like to call "How crazy and fast can i make this sound" Tell him to play like Virgil Donati and i'll give him props. May i also throw in that everyone has their own style and genre of playing. Buddy rich reminds me of D-Mile. LOL!
Benny greb is the groove master, he is not a speed player at all
DJ GINGER I was referring to buddy rich.
DJ GINGER jo jo Mayer is also a groove master. Benny Greb is awesome. But Buddy Rich was so far ahead of his time, it's mind blowing. Let's not forget Tony Royster. Jr, or Gavin Harrison.
Split screen on live TV. Yep...that was a huge innovation.
Awesome clip. Thanks for sharing.
Even in todays standard of drumming this is incredibly bad ass
Today's drummers idolized Buddy Rich. He was one of an elite set of drummers from days gone by at the top of the game.
This is better than standards today
This is beyond yesterday, today, and tomorrow's standards. Buddy Rich is timeless.
A Master Drummer and a Master Comic a perfect match for a lot of funny chaos.
The good old days when talent actually meant some thing.
I usually hate drum solos unless they are real short. This is an exception.
Didn't realize how talented Jerry was, I just finished seeing jitterbug dance routine, he was incredible.
It requires a lot of talent to be the fool you know, it's just not an act, he was a trained fool.
Jerry Lewis is one of the last Bigg and talented stars!
See the original Nutty Professor.
Everyone from that era had talent unlike today
Seriously!?!? 215 "people" downvoted this so far?!?!? I can't help but feel sorry for them. This is some serious talent
Lady Gaga fans for sure.
Might be "serious talent" but Rich was an arrogant douchebag, might have been a great drummer, but there are plenty better these days than he was, and without Krupa there would have been no Buddy Rich.

unquestionably the finest/fastest drum solo I've ever hear or witnessed. I just wish I could purchase a legitimate copy for myself
So many of the older entertainers were multi-talented song and dance men who did comedy and other things. I always wanted to be a one man band.
WAS BUDDY RICH HUMAN? NO ONE COMES CLOSE TO HIM ON THE DRUMS IN ANY STYLE THEN AND NOW. INCREDIBLE! IT MAKES ME WANT TO QUIT PLAYING!. NO ONE CAN BE THAT GOOD. ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING!!!

I must admit I did not know Jerry Lewis could drum. I'm impressed.

Yes--of course, makes sense. His son Gary--was the talented drummer for Gary and the Playboys.

Buddy Rich never suffered fools, but, he loved Jerry Lewis and they had a mutual admiration for one another...........
buddy always amazes me
Brilliant !!! Thankyou for the opportunity to watch this!
Oh man..Jerry Lewis was amazing. You can see so many comedic elements from his performances in today's comedy.

Twerking should be illegal
I can't think of any other drummer except Buddy that I can watch over and over again and his solos never get boring or old
the best drummer vs the best comedian!

his son is pretty good too ........... gary lewis and the playboys
he did nothing.

Thst was much earlier than 1965, Jerry mentions Dean Martin as part of the show and in 1965 they weren't talking to each other publicly atleast.
buddy rich is the single most influential drummer of all time, every drummer that came after him does something created by him.
R.i.p. Jerry, thank you.

Soy argentino jerry lewis si q era un loquillo amo todas sus películas. Gran comediante en la historia del cine y tv... No me canso de verlo.. Mi papá era súper fans de este gran actor..
Buddy Rich was probably THE best jazz drummer of all time at least by 2016. I think he came out of his mom with drumsticks in his hands!!
Absolute legends, they can play!
Now I realise Chad Smith and Will Ferrel did the exact same thing.
Except Chad ain't got shit on Buddy.
Gene Krupa.can.
srvrip41 John Bonham can!
Buddy Rich and Animal or Dave Grohl and Animal? It's been done heaps of times with dueling drummers ;)
Thanks Buddy, you are one of a kind likely NEVER to be repeated unfortunately ! ! !

Am I the only one who thinks of Lars when jerry plays lol
nope. his drums are more bassier than lars
+Alex Pindell love lars!
Well, that is high praise indeed. I will look him up and give him a listen. Thanks.
Buddy Rich was like a sober Keith Moon. Amazing talent!
Waaaa... That guy is just the best. When you listen the music from now and that, you think the talent disappeared...
Have a listen to Thomas Lang! Personal favourite drummer. Talent definitely doesn't disappear, I feel it just changes :)
With all of the old blues artists in The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, why are Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich not in there?
Ah maybe because the didnt play ROCK AND ROLL. Rock and Roll came out of Blues gospel and country not JAZZ!!
