Buddy Rich is pure precision, speed and aggression. Gene Krupa is smooth, classy and melodious. And the legendary Sammy Davis is all of this--the consummate entertainer who can sing, dance, everything. And all of this is pure joy.
Very true, considering he never practiced, he just sat down & got up when he was happy with his work & he played great took great charge of his orchestra. On here you see him off his drums going from musician to musician, keeping the orchestra swinging. A natural.
I was born in 1953. Over the last 20 yrs. realized what a fabulous singer, entertainer, actor Sammy Davis Jr. was ... his life in the end was heart breaking but gave it his all! I've heard Buddy Rich & Gene Krupa over the years but have never seen such an incredible Duo complimenting each other on the drums along with the one of the greatest entertainers Sammy Davis Jr. ... this Video puts a smile and a "spring" in your step! **May God Bless & rest their Souls**
Man o' man, what a collection of talent! Sammy is one of the most extraordinary people to ever grace show business: an fine actor, wonderful musician, professional comedian and great dancer. Gene, ever the showman and innovator, and a wonderful drummer to boot, brought the drums into the modern era by bringing the kit from a background pace keeping instrument to a featured component of the big band. Buddy is flat out the most talented drummer of the 20th century. His timing, technical prowess, speed and ability to lead a top notch big band are and will forever be nonpareil.
I am so lucky I grew up with big band music playing in my house. I loved Krupa's playing from the time of was probably 5 years old listening to Benny Goodman albums my dad always had playing. I'm 57 now. Also, Count Basie, the Duke, Dorseys.
Buddy Rich was like a creature from another planet? he had otherworldly speed blazing blinding speed and flash. But Although Gene could not match his speed. Which I’m sure they were both doing plenty of. There is some thing about Gene Krupa he was melodic a joy to listen to he played from his heart and soul I loved it. Where at times buddy was like a robot just blazing away.Gene could swing man could he swing!
The first time I saw Buddy Rich was in 1954 at the old Trianon ballroom in Seattle. He was playing with Harry James at the time .. I was standing right at the bandstand and could not believe his uncanny performance. The next time was with Jazz at The Philharmonic that fall. The other drummer was none other than Gene Krupa with the JAYP that evening. I followed Buddy all the way up to his death. I have many LPs, CDs and DVDs. He still remains to be the greatest drummer of all time. There are many good drummers but he still stands at the top.
Wow! This is the kind of show I will never get tired of watching because these are the greatest drummers ever lived not the mention the one and only Sammy Davis, Jr. They're all amazingly wonderful musical artists! Bravo! thumbs up all the way!! to heaven!!
Well, don't listen to modern music that does that. That is your fault. There are plenty today that don't. But you all need your cliches, sitting in your arm chair.
The talent in the drumming department has multiplied tenfold thanks to the rudiments Buddy Rich has imparted upon the drumming community. Gene was outgunned in this show, and I think he knew it
Yes there is incredible talent in drumming today like you wouldnt believe, however the swing, excitement and tightness that those legends achieved still cant quite be matched imo but they were focused on only a few styles of playing and were masters at them whereas todays pro drummers cover a lot more genres and have to be expert at all of them, including double kick etc so there is a bit of trade off but on a technical level todays drummers are on a completely different level than the past but that is taking nothing away from the drummers of the past.
It's like Buddy was saying, "Look what I can do!" and Gene was saying, "Listen to this!". Big difference. Buddy may have been better but Gene always made me smile and watch him over again and again.
Wiw. Just wow. Gene Krupa. Buddy Rich. And Sammy's doing some pretty good drumming with his feet. So wonderful to see these three legends together. Thanx so very much for sharing!
My high school band brought Buddy Rich to town in the early 70’s. His band was set up in the high school gym, and I was fortunate enough to sit on the floor a few feet in front of his bass drum. I had to pick my jaw up from the floor after an hour of that performance. I hadn’t ever seen a one handed roll before,,,,,or since. He was lightning fast.
What a neat little surprise in my RUclips feed today. Before my era (Gen X)... before my drum legends... before Collins and Thompson, before Grohl and Hawkins, before Bruford and Muir, before Bruford and White, before Bruford and Mastelotto, before Mastelotto-Rieflin-Harrison/Stacey, before Mason and Wallis, etc... these guys. Wow. That was fun.
Wow!!!! Krupa is idiosyncratic and amazingly innovative. That transfer where he uses the two sticks is just amazing. But as the drum master, Rich is like BOOM! It is like the Emperor has arrived. I'd have paid anytime anywhere to see either of these amazing talents.
For whatever it's worth, I agree 100%. Buddy had perhaps the fastest hands ever ! Many like that, & no doubt he was a great talent. But Gene, had soul, & cool expressions, & true class, he is my personal favorite too !
Krupa basically invented the 4 piece drum kit arrangements they are playing on, so Krupa is a proud papa, when he sees Buddy Rich play! He invented the instrument! IMHO
Likewise, I went to the Saturday matinee as a kid when I saw the Gene Krupa Story. Later, I watched Johnny Carson every night, hoping to see Buddy Rich who was a regular guest. Even though I started in a garage band in the 60's, I used the momentum of these early days to propel me into jazz drumming which I still play.
I'm lucky enough to have seen Gene once in New York City in the mid-60's and Buddy three times in Omaha in the 70's. The only thing this video needed was a section with Joe Morello.
To quote somebody else; - "Now that's Entertainment"! Two of the greatest drummers along with the world's best ever all-round entertainer, Mr Sammy Davis jr, who has entertained me with every one of his multitude of talents for 60 + years.
I know this stuff will probably before forever on file, storage etc for any one to see in future generations, but I almost feel sad because even though they can watch it, they may never really feel when talent , was actually real talent.. not enhanced, or altered to sound good. The rehearsals these people do, just not these guys, but that entire era .. it is astounding how much work is put into these things, and they are just classic masterpieces.
Senza questi due pazzi GENI TALENTI MONDIALI, non esisterebbe ne la Batteria ne Batteristi, grazie a Buddy e Krupa se oggi al mondo ci sono allievi GENI E TALENTI che suonano cosi' !!!
Pure, raw talent by 3 men at the height of their careers. The drums are amazing but then what can a guy say? I enjoyed Ginger Baker back mid-70’s playing off each of these men, a mutual admiration society of sorts. I was & still am just in awe! Sammy is Sammy, he rendered me speechless a few times. His cowboy guns? Incredible.
For those of you who think Mr.Rich was unimaginative, repetitious with his fills? and nothing but fast, I fear that you have truly missed the boat. Neil Peart (RIP), arguably the most accomplished and influential rock drummer of the past 40 years, played Buddy's music with the Buddy Rich Band twice at memorial celebrations at the request of Buddy's daughter-who loved Neil's playing and spoke of her dad's respect and admiration for Neil-stated that trying to learn and then play Buddy's part in his band's music was the single most difficult thing he had tried to do as a musician. Not only was the style of music foreign to Neil but Buddy's exceedingly nuanced tempo and technique were mind boggling. Much to Neil's credit, he took on that most difficult challenge and played wonderfully. When Mr. Peart complements you in an almost reverential manner, you know you are special. And Buddy was indeed special, uniquely so. Here is Buddy playing with a small jazz band in the late 50s. If these "fills" are repetitious and his playing nothing but pure speed, then the world is certainly missing something: ruclips.net/video/sPdj75sqeQs/видео.html
How true. Saw Buddy Rich live back in the 80s and I was absolutely blown away. Neil Peart is my favorite drummer, but Buddy was the best I ever saw. Greatest drummer of all time.
@@bennjenn929 Why did Rush sellout after the Signals record? Neil's sound was horrible by Power Windows, quite embarrassing such a great drummer. Before you say everyone changes they were the only heavy rock band to sellout.
@@jerrywoods4066 Speaking of Ian Paice he didn't sellout with his style and drums at the same time Rush did, just listen to "Perfect Strangers" and was a success
@@m42037 he was a success back in the 70s . He was spoken in the same breath as John Bonham and Keith moon. Ian is definitely my favorite drummer for eons. of course he's alot older and don't do it like he used to but that's life. Cozy powell Steve Smith Tommy Aldridge are also tops with me.
@@johnlarson111 Oh man, I just watched some video with Sammy playing drums and vibes. I knew he was a consummate performer but didn't know he was great on drums, too! Thanks for the education, John Larson.
My impression is that Gene Krupa was a subtle drummer who could also do the spectacular stuff if need be. Vice versa with Buddy, he was generally flamboyant and very fast but also capable of subtlety. In short, two truly great all-rounders. Hats off to Sammy Davis too.
Sammy could do anything extremely talented but buddy rich I think and I’m a novice drummer is to this day the best drummer in the world or at least from what I have seen. Simple kit setup and that’s all he needs offset left hand is golden.
1:32-1:35 is one of the greatest moments in drum history. That fill makes me yell whoooo every time. These three were giants and their sense of timing is unreal.
I think Sammy played drums professionally hand in hand with dancing in his early years. Lot crossover between dancers and drummers. I think Fred Astaire was a pretty accomplished drummer too. Ringo was also the best dancer of the Beatles..
Noone would doubt that all three here were world class performers . Gene seemed to always play with taste yet flamboyance. I'm a huge fan of Buddy and he is technically amazing but he can sometimes lack sthg that Gene and Joe Morello had in spades . Still absolutely mind blowing skill though
Buddy Rich: Can hit the drum 100 times in 1 bar
Gene Krupa: Can get 100 different sounds out of 1 drum
Pretty much summarizes my impression of the two in contrast. Buddy had the technical edge, but Gene had more musical imagination.
You’d be that fast, if you had that much cocaine in you too! 🙀😹
Buddy Rich is pure precision, speed and aggression. Gene Krupa is smooth, classy and melodious. And the legendary Sammy Davis is all of this--the consummate entertainer who can sing, dance, everything. And all of this is pure joy.
Very true, considering he never practiced, he just sat down & got up when he was happy with his work & he played great took great charge of his orchestra. On here you see him off his drums going from musician to musician, keeping the orchestra swinging. A natural.
Very nicely stated...
All ol Sammy needed was that cocaine
It should be noted that Sammy was doing percussion with his feet (that's what tap does). Drums without drums.
Absolutely right
I was born in 1953. Over the last 20 yrs. realized what a fabulous singer, entertainer, actor Sammy Davis Jr. was ... his life in the end was heart breaking but gave it his all!

Sammy Davis Jr. ... this Video puts a smile and a "spring" in your step!
**May God Bless & rest their Souls**
Totally agree!
I was born in 1953 in New Orleans. I was listening to jazz prenatally. I was drummer in the 60s - 70s, but I’m okay now.
The two greatest drummers to ever play the drum kit! IMHO
Hmmm. I'd say Joe Morello would have to be up there with them. Mel Torme wasn't too shabby on the skins, either.
@@valentinius62 Got to agree on Joe Morello.
Hats off to anyone who can solo in a suit & tie.
Never mind who had the most talent. These were three legends performinmg together. How I miss these guys!
plus, tap-dancing was a lesser talent of Sammy.
Not Lesser did you see Sammy handing out the tap shoes at the end,Fantastic
Man o' man, what a collection of talent! Sammy is one of the most extraordinary people to ever grace show business: an fine actor, wonderful musician, professional comedian and great dancer.

Buddy is flat out the most talented drummer of the 20th century. His timing, technical prowess, speed and ability to lead a top notch big band are and will forever be nonpareil.
How is it possible to play so well without missing a note. Even Buddy said wow to Krupas great solo.
I am so lucky I grew up with big band music playing in my house. I loved Krupa's playing from the time of was probably 5 years old listening to Benny Goodman albums my dad always had playing. I'm 57 now. Also, Count Basie, the Duke, Dorseys.

listen to sammy play the drums. No one could do what he did just with his feet!

No drummer will ever top Buddy. Got to meet him once and got his autograph. A prized possession
It’s all preference my friend.
Nope@@Cinemagoer_64
100%. There is Buddy and then everybody else.
Great story. Of the drummers and Seattle
that was when tv was entertainment! Amazing stuff.
3 of the most talented musicians EVER!
All three legends
Wow! This is the kind of show I will never get tired of watching because these are the greatest drummers ever lived not the mention the one and only Sammy Davis, Jr. They're all amazingly wonderful musical artists! Bravo! thumbs up all the way!! to heaven!!
...Raw stuff. no "digits" to modify and correct
They are great.. greatest is not a thing. Do you know how many amazing drummers happened in the last 6 decades?
Well, don't listen to modern music that does that. That is your fault. There are plenty today that don't. But you all need your cliches, sitting in your arm chair.
Is there talent like this still out there these days? These icons didnt need much tech for fancy electronics to display their abilities!
🥁😎🥁
The talent in the drumming department has multiplied tenfold thanks to the rudiments Buddy Rich has imparted upon the drumming community. Gene was outgunned in this show, and I think he knew it

For swing in rock music drumming, check out Joel Amey of Wolf Alice.
Krupa's playing was actually more interesting to me. Buddy's playing as usual is a great display of chops galore.
It's like Buddy was saying, "Look what I can do!" and Gene was saying, "Listen to this!". Big difference. Buddy may have been better but Gene always made me smile and watch him over again and again.
Krupa was way past his prime
Heart trouble and emphysema made him a shadow of what he was
The cross sticking attempts are embarrassing.
Wiw. Just wow.
Gene Krupa. Buddy Rich. And Sammy's doing some pretty good drumming with his feet.
So wonderful to see these three legends together.
Thanx so very much for sharing!
I got to see Gene, my drum hero live when he was at the Metropole In NYC. What a thrill.
Yeah, I saw Krupa and Teddy Wilson at the Metropole Cafe in 1955, I think. No cover charge, beer was a buck. Cozy Cole performed too...
My high school band brought Buddy Rich to town in the early 70’s. His band was set up in the high school gym, and I was fortunate enough to sit on the floor a few feet in front of his bass drum.

Wow. That was fun.
Krupa swung. His fills during "Cute" were just great - not super difficult but just sounded perfect.
YAYYYYYYY.....thanks, I've been wondering what the tune was for years now..finally get to hear the full version lol. I owe ya 😌
We just don't get television programs like this nowadays. A pity.
Wow!!!! Krupa is idiosyncratic and amazingly innovative. That transfer where he uses the two sticks is just amazing. But as the drum master, Rich is like BOOM! It is like the Emperor has arrived. I'd have paid anytime anywhere to see either of these amazing talents.
A class of its own! Pure joy and nothing else. Plain music above all things. We have no more of these these days.
Such great talent,as we will never be so privileged to see again.
i love both of these drummers. rich is probably more skilled technically, but i enjoy krupa's style more.
For whatever it's worth, I agree 100%. Buddy had perhaps the fastest hands ever ! Many like that, & no doubt he was a great talent. But Gene, had soul, & cool expressions, & true class, he is my personal favorite too !
Krupa basically invented the 4 piece drum kit arrangements they are playing on, so Krupa is a proud papa, when he sees Buddy Rich play! He invented the instrument! IMHO
This video/slim clip brought me lots of joy!
Thank you for posting it!
Oh man...I wish everything could be this good.
What always impressed me most about Buddy Rich was his awsome economy of motion ...
Takes me back to my first drumming (vinyl) record in very early 60's Gene Krupa meets Buddy Rich. Still have it & enjoy it!1
As amazing as it is to see this performance and it never ceases to amaze me! But I gotta say .. buddy’s singles!!! 😆 unbelievable!
This video is a window into a better time. Long since gone. I mourn for todays world.
Three fantastic performers, but when buddy comes in with the snare roll and then just takes it up and up he just slayed me!
Best single stroke roll ever, bar nobody. Rich was the best snare drummer by a long chalk, even today!!!
my 3 all time favourite musicians together - AMAZING :-)
I kept waiting for Sammy to pull out a third set of sticks and another set to appear...
It was so nice to see them all smiling and laughing and having fun and joking around so much talent on that stage. I'd love to see a concert!
Genial
a tear jerking performance.....classic...
This is really one of those golden moments in my life ...G...
Excellent! Love those two since I was a child of the 70’s
The greatest of all time right here
Que haces aqui sino te gusta esto es oro puro!!!
It was nice, growing up, in this era ... ;-)
These two are who started my life as a musician 60 years ago

Even though I started in a garage band in the 60's, I used the momentum of these early days to propel me into jazz drumming which I still play.
Gene Krupa Buddy Rich And Sammy Davis Jr were so Phenomenal
Such expertise and joy by all!

Sammy Davis Jr. was possibly the most talented entertainer of his time. He could do it all.
Easily agree on that, he was a phenomenal talent and a brilliant drummer too..
Buddy's wrist control is insane.
Dynamic duo.🥁. And Sammy’s feet. Priceless.
Speechless .. amazing!
Melodious thunder!!!
Awesome and amazing drummers got my adrenaline pumping
Rich and Krupa were the best 👌
Buddy one of a kind what a gift..
Absolute gold!!!!!

Insanely good dancing
There are drummers, and then there are (were) Messrs. Rich & Krupa. Man alive, these boys were talented or what......
Are we watching the birth of Rock and Roll right before our very eyes?
Sammy Davis was always a talented tap dancer. Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich were great drummers.
Sammy also played drums and other instruments, sang and danced. He could do it all and he was humble about his amazing talent. What a pure gentleman.
For all you young people out there this is what entertainment looks and sounds like. True experts at their crafts.

Amazing talents. Too bad there wasn't a third drumset for Sammy.

Sammy didn't need a drum set. His feet and the polished floor were all he needed to knock us dead.

Outstanding !
Sammy does it all….. A Great artist
Just imagine being Sammy. Getting to sit right there, and watch two drumming icons having fun doing what they do best.
The greatest drummers of all time
This is what I call artistry' skill and ENTERTAINMENT!!
You will never see talent such as this ..EVER AGAIN!!!
Los tres, para variar, ¡geniales!!!
Great stuff ... truly amazing entertainers
A wee bit of talent on that stage ...
Just a "wee" ;)
Little bit!

That was awesome.
Sammy was the best just a great guy.
I love to watch Sammy dance. Makes me wanna watch "Tap". Great movie. Never saw guys with ties playing drums like that .
I love that movie!
There are no entertainers this good anymore
sammy is amazing. buddy is so smooth.
Sammy could do anything extremely talented but buddy rich I think and I’m a novice drummer is to this day the best drummer in the world or at least from what I have seen. Simple kit setup and that’s all he needs offset left hand is golden.
Matt Garska is pretty good
There are many other drummers from this era. Some of my favorites are Papa Jo Jones, Joe Morello, Big Sid Catlett, Louis Bellson and on and on.
This video is gold
Pure gold.
1:32-1:35 is one of the greatest moments in drum history. That fill makes me yell whoooo every time. These three were giants and their sense of timing is unreal.
Great. Such talent.
Why did this music ever stop ??? Beats rap to death 😢😢😢
Buddy the original death metal drummer
Los tres con su talento y la música ufff donde quedaron los buenos músicos
Actually Sammy was a great drummer. There are a few youtube videos of him drumming
Yes he was!
That was the point of the joke at the beginning, where they "make him" turn over the drum sticks !
I think Sammy played drums professionally hand in hand with dancing in his early years. Lot crossover between dancers and drummers. I think Fred Astaire was a pretty accomplished drummer too. Ringo was also the best dancer of the Beatles..
This is gold.
Absolutely Amazing.. Two of The Best.. And Yes Musicmaestrodj.. Too Bad Huh..
Classic In reality no one was in buddy’s league There were drummers innovating at the time but no one had the fire and genus mind like Buddy Rich
Why is he great again? Like he’s fast and clean.
@@durfdurffigan8680 What's your point?
No man can do everything,…….except Sammy Davis jr.
Noone would doubt that all three here were world class performers . Gene seemed to always play with taste yet flamboyance. I'm a huge fan of Buddy and he is technically amazing but he can sometimes lack sthg that Gene and Joe Morello had in spades . Still absolutely mind blowing skill though
I was a drummer in the 60s / 70s, but I’m okay now. 🤪
