65 years old. Several heart attacks, two discs removed, an undiagnosed brain tumor, and obviously in great pain. You can see Buddy shaking it off once the sticks are in his hands - letting the music take over. He doesn't hold anything back.
Steve, that is so old school! I am not tough like that, but that's the way my father was too! Buddy didn't dare disappoint when it was his turn to deliver! :)
When Buddy smiled at the audience at the end, that showed that all the pain is worth going through. They don't make them like they used to, that's for sure!
What a fucking legend. This is Neil Peart's "drum god" - and Neil Peart stands in very high regard for me. 🙂 Buddy Rich has an actual heart attack during this solo in 1982, at the "Concert for the Americas" in the Dominican Republic. But he just goes on, for us mortals it will look like breaking a sweat. For him it was potentially existential in the physiological nature. But his ART drove him forth. This man - a true maestro and artist - placed ART ahead of his own personal health.
*@Jayden Holt* in his defense, the late great Neil Pert, of Rush, yes he had an enormous drum kit. But to his credit, he knew how to use every piece of it, and implemented it into his sound. Further, he was no stranger to trimming its size back down when he didn't need those pieces. It was added and subtracted as necessary. But on your base point, YES!!! I completely agree with you! The huge majority of my favorite drum solos are done on tiny kits. Two that come to mind immediately is on Fats Waller's 1943 recording of "Aint Misbehavin" and Lionel Hampton's drum solo on "I Know that You Know" with the Benny Goodman Quartet. Yes, Lionel Hampton also played drums too, and was even quite good at it :)
Sure showed all those people that keep saying "You need 17 toms to do a killer drum solo." My drum teacher said it to me the other day - "Your playing is good, but honestly you need 17 toms to do a killer drum solo."
@@budahbaba7856 Terry Bozzio is the same way with his crazy huge drum kits. 8 hours to assemble.... ridiculously maddening , but he utilizes every piece.
I used to think that Buddy's left hand was achievable with enough practice. After 50 years of playing drums, I can attest that it's not. Buddy Rich was the greatest natural drummer in the history of the world.
It is definitely possible with enough practice. This drummer Greyson did this exact drum solo on the Drumeo channel, and he’s fairly young. It’s about pushing yourself to the limits.
@@yunarukami14 well I’m not denying that. Of course he is. I’m saying that there are other exceptionally talented drummers who can achieve what Buddy did. I’m not saying that all drummers or even most drummer can, I’m just saying that it is possible.
On 6:44 don’t be fooled seriously!!!😲😲😲 That is almost impossible for any drummer around the world to have so much speed and accuracy with the single stroke roll on the snare drum. This really must had took Buddy for years to get this 100% spot on.
I watched this solo hundreds of times, analysing his hands, trying to figure out how they moved so effortlessly. Led me down the path of figuring out the gladstone technique, I became obsessed with it. Nailed fingers but never nailed the wrists, due to quitting drums. Need to pickup my sticks, never too late
I second that. I also have been obssessed with Buddy for a long time. I even posted a snare practice inspired by him (called "Buddy Rich-inspired snare practice"). He was the greatest ever.
have you gone through stick control? i'm pretty sure that most drummers can get really good if they just practice stick control enough, with the hands and feet. i don't use double bass drum, so when i do it with my feet i do the bass drum and high hat, and i'm surprised at how fast i'm gaining more control and being able to what i want to while feeling relaxed but still playing fast. just gotta practice the right way and long enough, and it'll come to you. never give up.
After 2 heart attacks, disc removals and during an undiagnosed brain tumor. That is insane TALENT beyond measure and proof that this current generation (save for a handful of promising individuals) is utter GARBAGE in terms of quality.
I remember sitting up all night to record this live on my vcr tape player. Still to this day one of the greatest drum solos by one of the greatest drummers ever in any genre!!!
I never really watched any of his drumming but knew he was called one of the greatest. This video clearly shows me that he is the greatest drummer of all time. No other drummer has anything like this I can find this is unreal

All i can say is OMG & WOW I can only think that to be in the presence of Buddy in the same room the entertainment value was off THE RICHTER SCALE. He died quite young at nearly 70 but what a fulfilled life he had. To be at that level I could only imagine he was so hard to work with professionally and to be married to him would have been hell i expect. At 4.34 into this i could not believe what i was seeing. He was using his left hand to play part of the drum set. I do not know what this part is called but i had to look twice. I first knew of Buddy was when he appeared as one of the guests on the BBC1 Parkinson show at the start of 1987. The other guests were Roy Castle, Kenny Everett and Sammy Davis Jr. The wonderful Roy was a great entertainer and musician. He played the trumpet and other instruments and i loved watching him as a kid on TV in the 70's - the show Record Breakers comes to mind. The wonderful Sammy was a great entertainer and musician. He could play the drums as well. I loved Sammy singing Mr. Bojangles The wonderful Kenny - well Kenny was just Kenny Not long after appearing on Parkinson Buddy died in April 1987. These 4 entertainers appeared on Parkinson but 5 years earlier in 1982
I appreciate that you have something good to say for every one. No one ever sang like Sammy, when he did Mr Bo Jangles! That song is pure magic! The first time i heard Buddy Righ, it was on a recording that they did back in the early 1950's where Buddy Rich & Gene Krupa would duel: foregone conclusion. Gene was a great drummer too, but he just did not have as assertive, commanding a style as Buddy Rich. The audience was always going to go for him, and Krupa did not claim to be his equal: producers set that up. Similarly, the album featured trumpet duels between Roy Eldritch & Dizzy Gillespie. Roy is my personal favorite on trumpet, but his slower, lyrical style is not going to compete with Dizzy's tack-hammer efficiency! Again, a foregone conclusion who the audience perceives as the winner in a contest :)

translate in google, i am from Nederland. Hij heeft min of meer de toekomst bepaald, voor veel drummers onder ons, onder andere Dave Weckl, natuurlijk meerdere drummers. Buddy heeft een grote invloed gehad, nog steeds in de huidige drum wereld.
Jeez, I,ve always loved drums, & drumming, & i have heard so many drummers, but Rich, he's just "Off the scale" incredible, no drummer come near him, he's got it all.
This video is high quality thank you for upgrading the quality of this video I fell in love with this Video! 🤍, Buddy Rich is a very talented and cool Drummer and no one can replace him 🏴☠️.
Buddy ALWAYS brought out the very best his band had to offer the world. He did suffer a heart attack during this performance but he REFUSED to let anyone know untill he finished the show. God bless you MR RICH.
Nice, really nice of you to share this, which was also a quality Buddy Rich had. I was his secretary that set up his gigs in the late 50’s to early 60’s. He was a great gentleman, a great sense of humor and is very much missed. Did you ever join the free classes he gave for young drummers? He would go to different colleges and jam with the kids. Well I got tears in my eyes so keep on drummin.
A Drummer dies and goes to heaven. Beyond the Pearly gates, he hears drumming better than no other. Immediately, he recognises it and asks the angel Gabriel “is that Buddy Rich?” the angle replies “No, its just god, but he thinks he’s Buddy Rich”
I've had trouble watching videos of this event. It was 80 plus degrees with very high humidity. Buddy's in the tux and sweating his ass off and then at one point has a heart attack, or severe chest pains immediately prior to the heart attack, which may have taken place after he walked off stage and almost collapsed into his daughter's arms. Note the grimace at the 6:19 mark. His heart attack prompted quadruple bypass surgery.
I always thought it started there too, but I think it even started earlier than that, I just noticed that at :25 or so you can see he's short of breath.
@@sgtpepper1138 He was on the Tonight Show with Carson not long after undergoing quadruple bypass the following year. Told Johnny that he was experiencing shortness of breath and sweating a lot more than usual and that's what prompted the follow-up leading to the surgery. He told JC he went back to work eight weeks after the surgery. Here's the video ruclips.net/video/XhMo8gu_qoU/видео.html
Goddamn the man can make the same component make multiple different sounds. If you didn’t see him doing this you would be wrong to think he’s playing on a much larger set.
Even though Buddy Rich played better than everyone else, it was a well known fact that he rarely practised his playing, so it makes it all the more astonishing that he still played so well.I have seen him using the matched grip, but it wasn't for long as he didn't look happy or comfortable playing that way, & he'd go back to using traditional grip during the same tune.
65 years old. Several heart attacks, two discs removed, an undiagnosed brain tumor, and obviously in great pain. You can see Buddy shaking it off once the sticks are in his hands - letting the music take over. He doesn't hold anything back.
The guy was a legend among all drummers, and as one myself he’s pretty much my idol.
Steve, that is so old school! I am not tough like that, but that's the way my father was too! Buddy didn't dare disappoint when it was his turn to deliver! :)

This guy is the proof you don’t need 17 toms to do a killer drum solo.
There's no need to proove that...
You don't even need one. I saw a guy kill it with nothing but a bass drum, snare and hi-hat.

Buddy Rich was willing die right on that stage with his drums.What a great sacrifice for something he love to do.
I can agree to that Brother.
Remember, the WHOLE time he is holding traditional style.
What a legend.
I'd imagine most drummers of his era started with that style.
@@possibly8180 then comes the late 60s & early 70s
He surely NEVER played match. In fact Rich made a statement and that was......
“If you play match you’re not playing correctly”.
@@williamMikmaq222 unfortunately there’s a few videos of him playing match, one notably during the solo for Caravan in about ‘65 I believe
And half the time he’s having a heart attack! Fucking insane he still played through it
I’m not even a drummer but I come back and watch this at least once a year. Fucking prodigy.. looks so effortless and swift.
I get chills every time I watch this. That left hand. He seems so clean and precise.
He IS clean and precise man
Buddy had a hand like a hummingbirds wing. Immortal.
All that craziness while in a tuxedo. Well done.
Really really beautiful job, not just the video quality, but the audio sync is perfect! Feel free to do every BR video you can!!
Yeah please
"This music is perfection" (my 7 yo daughter asked me to write this... I'm proud of her).

That really fast part at 6:49. Slow it to 1/2 speed. Looks like hummingbird wings and just as much in proper synch. Incredible.

Note the grimace at the 6:19 mark. His heart attack prompted quadruple bypass surgery.
I always thought it started there too, but I think it even started earlier than that, I just noticed that at :25 or so you can see he's short of breath.
@@sgtpepper1138 Certainly having to be buttoned up to the collar in that tux didn't help any.
@@sgtpepper1138 He was on the Tonight Show with Carson not long after undergoing quadruple bypass the following year. Told Johnny that he was experiencing shortness of breath and sweating a lot more than usual and that's what prompted the follow-up leading to the surgery. He told JC he went back to work eight weeks after the surgery. Here's the video ruclips.net/video/XhMo8gu_qoU/видео.html
Goddamn the man can make the same component make multiple different sounds. If you didn’t see him doing this you would be wrong to think he’s playing on a much larger set.
Hey you got to play so fast and technical like that to be famous.
Ringo Star: Hey hold my tea!
WOW GREAT CLARITY!!¡!!!!!!
Brabo demais!
You know you played the greatest drum solo when you have a heart attack and have to rush to the hospital afterwards.
LOVE HIM!

Even though Buddy Rich played better than everyone else, it was a well known fact that he rarely practised his playing, so it makes it all the more astonishing that he still played so well.I have seen him using the matched grip, but it wasn't for long as he didn't look happy or comfortable playing that way, & he'd go back to using traditional grip during the same tune.
El mejor baterista del Mundo!! Gracias DIOS por darnos un rato a Buddy Rich!!
why am I crying?? this is so powerful!!🥲
Spoke to him on the house phone at the Lord Nelson Hotel in Halifax. God with drum sticks.
To think these days modern drummers need computers and clickers and every gimmick under the sun to acheive a 1/8 of what Buddy did with his own body.
Now even more difficult to watch. 💔
But also amazing. :)
É o Maestro com baquetas!!!
Buddy is so good he started to catch fire 2:26
