    I saw Buddy play live at least 3 times, and I can honestly say as a former drummer that he was the greatest drummer who ever lived. While there have been drummers who came after him who have pretty much met his level of skill, he did so at a time when no one else was doing what he did - he invented the style of drumming he used. Sure, he had his influences, but he took those influences and turned them into something far more than those drummers had played. The fact that he could play this amazingly well in his mid 60's, with all the health problems he had, while wearing a freaking tux - UNREAL! His band (the one from 1966 to 1986) was unbelievably tight and powerful. He was a taskmaster (often an angry one), but he also had a great sense of humor. The Roar Of '74 remains my favorite Jazz album. Powerful, grooving, swinging Jazz, with some hints of Progressive Rock and Funk in there - just a phenomenal album.

    Buddy was 64 when he played this. Think about that. He's pretty much the gold standard of all time for drummers, and you can clearly see why. I always hesitate to say that anyone was ever 'The Best' at anything, but with Buddy it's hard to argue against it. As a lifelong drummer, I know of what I speak 🙂

      @@Wilem35 Buddy Rich had his first heart attack in 1959. Lots of people are now aware. With the types of physical challenges he had, not too many have the perfect techique to relax like he did when he played.... He was the single greatest drumming talent of any era. That isn't saying "his is the best" or "greatest" just that his raw talent which really was not honed or practiced, was built via playing with bands and sharing pointers with musicians. He had a photographic memory when it came to music, knowing a piece after 1 listen. You could say, his greatest assets made for some weaknesses, in that it came so easy for him, he didn't really push himself like other drummers do.

    The song is from "West Side Story" the Jets song. When I was a kid, it was argued who was better Buddy Rich or Gene Krupa and Carson used to have them on the Tonight Show doing solos frequently because he himself was a drummer and loved it. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion it was Buddy but many great drummers mention Krupa as well.

    He started with Artie Shaw's band in the late 30's. He disliked band leaders and considered himself as the star and the true quarterback of a band. Shaw finally asked him, "Just who exactly are you playing for? Me, yourself or the audience?" Buddy admitted he played for himself. Shaw told him, "then you would be better off with Tommy Dorsey's band", So Buddy left and joined Tommy Dorsey. Buddy was the top notch drummer but he was also the ultimate perfectionist. He had a _very_ bad temper and was not a pleasant person to be around at all according to stories by band members. He once berated all his fellow band members on a bus one night after a show hurling insults and profanities at them because he didn't like the way they performed.

  • @LeviAWilson

    Yeah, you just watched the drummer's drummer. The late great Buddy Rich. You'll notice when he's just playing on the high hit cymbals, he's still doing a beat from under the cymbals with that same hand that he's holding the cymbals with. One of the things about Buddy that a lot of people don't really know is that he was that good but hardly ever practiced. I always remembered hearing that for years, but I didn't think it was possible to be that good without hours of practice. Then I watched an interview with his daughter, and she was asked that same question and she said: "Yes, that's right. Dad hardly ever practiced. As a matter of fact, I never even seen a drum set at the house". How crazy is that! The great Neal Peart even played a session with Buddy's old band. Then he also did a live drum solo tribute to Buddy as well. Buddy even once played at a benefit and there were several other well-known famous rock drummers there and after he did his solo, they didn't even want to go on a play after him. lol but some of his drum offs with other great jazz drummers was unreal, like Gene Krupa, Ed Shaughnessy, Louis Bellson. Those are some awesome drum battles. Louis Bellson was the first jazz drummer I ever saw that used double bass drums. Both Louis Bellson and Ed Shaughnessy played at different times as the house drummer for Johnny Carson's " The Tonight Show".
    Ed Shaughnessy also played for several years as the house drummer for "The David Letterman Show". Everybody has the person they looked up to, even Buddy Rich and one of his favorite drummers was the late great Chick Webb. Chick Webb's band had a battle with Gene Krupa's band and they both did drum solos and Gene openly admitted that Chick won. He said in a newspaper article; "Chick ripped me to shreds that night". I remember when I was a kid taking lessons from my Jazz drum teacher, he had mentioned that he had seen Buddy Rich play live and I asked him what it was like, and he said: "After watching Buddy, no matter how long you've been playing, he makes you feel like only been playing for a few weeks. He makes you want to take your drums and put them in the paper for sale the next day". lol

    This is the "West Side Story Medley," adapted from the Broadway musical West Side Story. The tune was a Buddy Rich staple for years. I saw him live in the 1970's--in that concert he played a 20 minute solo. Best drummer ever--no one else will ever come close. When this was recorded, he had been playing professionally for about a half-century.

    I'm surprised that reading through the comments no one mentioned buddy Rich's personality! He was a well-known jerk who at times showed up for shows in a brand new sports car while no one in the band had been paid in a several weeks.
    My favorite Buddy Rich story came from a friend of mine whose dad was a professional sax player and had played, not only with Buddy Rich but also Stan Kenton and others. Because Dad was a professional musician, he slept during the day and the house rule was to never wake Dad unless the house was on fire. My friend was just a kid and learning to play drums when the phone rang one day and caller asked "If John was home" and "tell him Buddy Rich was on the phone"; my friend, who was about 10 at the time, freaked out & ran to his dad, woke him up (which obviously infuriated him) leaving him asking why was he being awakened and was told, "DAD, DAD, DAD, BUDDY RICH IS ON THE PHONE!!" to which he replied "tell that *sshole I'm not home" and rolled over to go back to sleep.

I met him before one of his live concerts--he was not abrasive toward me at all--in fact, he was very gracious. At the time, I was just a young college student.

That's saying a lot since even non-drummers marvel at the man. Also, keep in mind that jazz is much harder to play than rock. Rock drummers, while great, can't come close to jazz players for the most part. That's why they say rock drummers make easy stuff look hard while jazz players make hard stuff look easy. 😉😉😊😊

    From my late teen years I tried to collect every Buddy Rich album I could find. I started out as a Rush fan, being a drummer, but when I discovered Buddy, I wanted to hear everything he ever played and try to learn from him. After many years of listening and watching him, it always seemed to me that he just got better with age, right to the end; he refused to quit. Comparing Buddy to Neil, it is much harder to be creative with less drums, for a stroke by stroke comparison. When it comes to technique, give a guy just a snare and see what he can do. That being said, though I, along with many drummers, have long considered Buddy to be the G.O.A.T., I have come to appreciate Neil’s arrangements and colors, and how he supports each song so uniquely. Vastly different styles, but much to enjoy from both of them.

    Drumeo listed Rich as the greatest drummer of all time. (Peart was No. 2.) If you're exploring drummers, you should check out Gene Krupa with Benny Goodman's big band doing "Sing, Sing, Sing". This recording is a bit over 9 minutes but it's worth it. However, if that's too long there are other videos out there that are about three or four minutes.

    He was on johnny carson so mamy times...livedcseeing him back then. Was a funny guy with a chip on his shoulder though.
    Look up Buddy chastising his band on the bus. Hilarious. "Clams!!"
    Joe Morello was a contemporary and like Buddy Rich, lots of licks of theirs that Bonzo emulated.
    Moreso than Peart imo.
    Lots more soul and grit than Neal Peart had. So technical and clean...no oomph.

    Maybe another great drummer, probably the technical best drummer i know. It is Kai Hatho from Nightwish. There are a few warming-up drum video's from him. I hope you pick one to enjoy his high skills. Greetings from the Netherlands

    There are some very important drummers from his era. Gene Krupa, who heavily influenced Keith Moon. Krupa was a fantastic performer, his expressions and movements have to be seen. Louie Bellson, not only a fantastic drummer and double bass innovator, but a tremendous songwriter who was very prolific. Joe Morello, who was a big inspiration for John Bonham. Little known fact about Buddy Rich, is that he was a great tap dancer and held his own against Steve Condos, who is the greatest tap dancer of all time. Type this in "Steve Condos and Buddy Rich Tap Challenge"

    If Buddy could read music, what would the sheet music even look like? And if the sheet music did somehow exist reading it would probably slow the process. Just an amazing drummer.

    There's probably upwards of a dozen appearances on Jordan Carson that you can find on RUclips to see Buddy Rich.
    He also has a bit on RUclips where he has this funny. Doing drums thing with Jerry Lewis, the famous comedian.

    As great as this is, it's not even Buddy at his best. He was in poor health. He played at an extremely high level even after his quadruple bypass heart surgery. Played this way until his death in 1987. He played through extreme pain and discomfort. Had chronic back problems too.

    Buddy rich was only one of Neil Peart's heroes. The other drummer Neil hero was Gene Krupa who was also playing around the same time as Buddy Rich. Both are excellent drummers who started in the late 40's and played through the 50's, 60's and 70's.

    Buddy Rich is undoubtedly one of the greatest drummers of all time another one to check out would be Gene Krupa I've got an album I think it's from the 50s with Gene and Buddy on it and it's legendary I would argue that literally all drummers stand on the shoulders of Jean and Buddy

    The band is called "Air Force".. They and Buddy played in Europe that year to stading O crowds nightly. He also took along his 17 year -old daughter, as a way of making up for "All the time I was on the road and not being there for her" She wrote on a DVD concert's liner notes: " At last I understood who my dad really was, and why playing was so important to him..each show left me mesmerized". Other drummers who were fans of him: Keith Moon ( The Who) Ginger Baker ( Cream) , Ed Shaunssey ( The Tonight Show Band) and Elvin Jones ( John Coltrane)..as ya saw, Buddy's technique was baaad-azz...Proof ya didn't need a big drum kit to sound big.

    The left hand drumstick was the more traditional way drummers were taught how to hold the stick for the snare drum. What I find impressive is how he's not really doing any big motions with his arms. Watched him in the 60s on the Ed Sullivan show live.

  • @bombasticbushkin4985

    I'm a drummer and learned from Buddy, Neil Peart and others. He was a pioneer and, as you say, probably the most difficult to copy. He produced a snare alphabet book of 26 variations to perfect. Obviously Buddy, a natural, started young and created his own unique style encompassing speed and precision. To my mind, for all the above, such a phenom, I will give my vote to him as the greatest drummer ever.

    The jazz drummers, of his era would hold, if they were right handed, the drumstick in the palm, of their hand, with the palm up; southpaws would just switch it up.

    Hey, guys, I'm old enough to have watched buddy riches. Appearances on the Johnny Carson show and there were many appearances because he was considered to be one of the regulars. Anyway, I think it's very cool that you guys decided to go down this path because everybody talks about some of the greatest rock drummers of all time. And they always refer to John Bonham and ginger Baker and that whole group of guys. But when you see Buddy Rich perform on those drums, it's hard to imagine anyone being better or faster. Let's remember anytime you see videos on buddy. Rich, it's always him doing solos, not being part of a group and as great as the half, a dozen excellent drummers from the rock era. They still don't have any solo videos for us to really focus on them and them alone. Me myself? I think John Bonner may have been the greatest, although I'm sure some people would argue, but he certainly in the top 2S3. But with that being said, I do believe that Buddy Rich may be better. But he's absolutely most definitely at least as good.

    This is completely a work of art. Given what he was going through. and how he not only made it through but powered through it. The man was a god among men.
    Buddy Rich has done a fair amount of "drum offs" with other drummers. Legends like Gene Krupka, Sammy Davis jr,. Animal from "The Muppets, Johnny Carson who Buddy taught to play drums. Jerry Lewis. These videos are all available online. Enjoy.
