I have this complete concert on DVD. Its from the Boston area and Buddy has a lot of friends and colleagues in the audience, among them the late Armand Zildjian. Buddy is playful and joking with the audience through the whole show and is in frightening form. The kit he plays here is of course the 40s Slingerland Radio King kit that was restored and given to him in 1983. The snare was presented to him at the hospital following his quadruple bypass. He used a 26" bass and had actually requested a 28" right before his death!
It was at some Yacht club One of his best solos, two years after he was pronounced dead on the operating table. He also, post solo, dealt with the jerk who was was shouting during his solo
Saw Buddy play Norfolk,Va in the 80's. After the show,I grew a pair and walked over to the bus and asked the huge bodyguard if I could meet Buddy. He said,hold on a minute, then came back and said come on. Took me on the bus,let me sit down for a minute and I left with Buddy's autograph and a memory I'll never forget!!
Lol every metalcore kid 13yrs old boy can play all their fill they simple became legend fir their classic....in today time if they play this type and have this skill nobody will listen to them .... Mikeportnoy thomas lang mike mingini and all thest prog drummer are all better but i dnt like prog at all what i am saying is these prog drummer are more better have more complex part than this ginger baker buddy rich ( buddy poor) lol
I first seen and met this guy in 1968 i was 10 years old , between then and December 1986 i seen him live 150 times . I also got relatively close to him ...little did i know that what i / we were witnessing we would never ever see the likes of ever again . I miss him so much now and every day , and i hope one day to meet with him in that special place .
[ Bernard "Buddy" Rich ] [ "ONE OF A KIND" ] Think of you daily ❤❤👍🥁🥁🥁 I Thank God I Got To See You Play, Live At least 6 Or 7 Times!!!

Unbelievable. I have seen Many of buddy videos, and had the good fortune to see him live several times. This solo is Right up there with the best of them. 1 of a kind
The greatest drummer who ever lived & a master craftsman. The man who all drummers should aspire too, unfortunately Buddy was unique & nobody will ever equal him.

@Haklulu Lol your talking out of your ass. Eloy Casagrande is a beast on the drums but you know what he said he has a very hard time trying to play? He said he can't play jazz, it's very hard for him to keep a easy groove, so you see not every metal core drummer can play fills easily like this. I was naive just like you in thinking anybody who can play fast and hard must know how to also play slow and soft. But just like you I was wrong. So stop talking out of your ass acting like some kind of know it all cause you clearly don't know shit. Rather than talk shit, why don't you try showing respect to the ones that paved the way. if you can't show respect then it best to not say shit at all cause that's all that is coming out your mouth, all whole lot of shit.
This is a stunning drum solo . The sound he get's from his drums exceptional , sharp and crisp along with high and low. Also cymbal selection is right on the money .
Simply is NO ONE who has equaled or ever will equal Buddy Rich in terms of speed, technical ability, and God-given talent. You may find drummers whom you like better because you enjoy the type of music they play more than you enjoy jazz, but NONE have his degree of ability and skill. Saw him numerous times in person both in large theatre settings and small club settings. Grateful I got to see him perform live.

Simply amazing. Ever since I was a child, I have admired Buddy's playing; to my mind there is nobody...nobody at all...that had a finer technique! Thanks so much for sharing.
I've never seen this. Horrible! lighting. Buddy is great here! Pulls out the stops. I love when he tells the drunk "Shaddup!" I was thinking the same thing! Here's the greatest drummer ever a few feet from you sharing his art, and people think it's somehow about THEM! "Ay, Buddy!" "Shaddup!" Beautiful!
its bc it was a night club not unlike "roys country bunker) as portrayed by the blues bros. movie) not only that this is obviously second gen vhs tape..but it sounds nearly exactly as it would have if you were there..back then camcorders were a luxery only semi wealthy people owned bc they wer e 4 to 1k depending on brand or new/used or how many options esp stereo those were the most expensivebut a bit of br background..buddy didnt like bright lighting and has many times requested soft lighting if there was any way of a particular club to be able to dim the lights or not.. he had an aversion to bright spotlights or rack lighting it was def " a thing" w him
I know what you mean. Been a type of rock drummer myself and always held Peart & co to be top class. But since I first heard Buddy Rich, I knew he was the limit. It just cant get any better. than that. On top of it all - its almost cartoonlike. You just have to laugh.
They are different drummers and they know Buddy was an alien not to be reckoned with Buddy was a prodigy on the drums and not just his physical facility which isn’t normal I mean his strength and endurance is extraordinary His ability to drive a band and know all the bands parts and his impeccable clean playing and dynamics are again extraordinary Buddy is the worlds greatest drummer
@@jrnarvepettersen4083 It can and does get better though. Sure Buddy was a monster on the kit, crazy quick singles etc. But Mangini does all that and more. Virgil Donati is even a step above that.
When I first saw Buddy live many years ago. I could hardly breathe. Once I got home I felt like selling my drums...I was a kid but felt I was just not on the same planet as Buddy. I continued to play 'cuz I heard Buddy actually address the question of other drummers feeling this way. He said he hated it! Went on to say it wasn't a competition and be the best you can be. I'm not sure....but more than likely he followed it up with; "But yea, I am the greatest". :) Amen.
The STANDARD that to this day commands your respect to technical prowess and speed all others strive to achieve..take notice what made this man the BEST!! BAR NONE.
Yes!! I laugh like a little kid watching this outstanding drum work! The flam-diddles between the snare-kick-floor toms (1:24), the blazing cymbal work, then the all-out assault of intense speed, coordination, precision, and power at the end! Buddy’s stick control is intense! So melodic. But it was when he adjusted his dentures that set this over the top!!
One of BR's best solos...Luckily,I have seen Buddy some 12 times, and never left disappointed.He always gave 100%...But this solo is a drum lesson, for sure.
I saw a similar situation in 1983(?) during a show at the now defunct "Storyville " in Kenmore Square in Boston - alas - now a Pizzaria Uno :-( . Buddy was doing the part of his solo where he would play around with a buzz roll and the dynamics. There was a rude fan in the crowd who keep yelling "Go Buddy! Go!" As Buddy was slowly building the intensity of the solo, he stopped mid-stroke and looked to that corner of the venue where the fan was sitting, and said "No. You go!", and then started right back in with his solo.
great solo alright. funny the reaction to the audience (near the end): listen, don't shout. play at speed, come to sudden stop, restart without losing a beat: yeah, you're supposed to (be able to) do that. but hearing it within a spontaneous solo makes me think of how the solo is constructed. i don't know how it is. but it is. tisn't just feel, expressed as a solo, but be damned if I could count the bars etc. mr no rudiments has spoken
And quite rightly a legend ......never to be surpassed .....loved it when he told the big mouth to shut up ! Buddy was a black belt in Karate ......so don't mess with this guy !
This is the solo I share with the naysayers His band, his kit, 2nd set, joints lubricated, band warmed up The Tonight show appearances don't do him justice
yep mine as well i have a few others i like as well but id say this is prob the best ive heard him on this set of drums to be honest i wasnt in love with this kit i love it HERE on THIS solo the room or something is helping them? bc generally they sounded very boxy to me..i liked buddy on those ludwigs he had in the 80s that set was to die for absolutely a match powerhouse drummer totally mean sounding drums but will admit i do love the sound of those drums here but almost nowhere else..hes on fire here anyway though i mean good lord listen to the nuances hes achieving..scary if you dont hear those nuances youre missing the entire buddy "thing" funny bc i almost never hear anyone speak of that aspect of his playing do they not hear what i or maybe you hear???
Super,super, super talent,master of master,God of drumming.i think he was Born with sticks on his hands,and the First words he did were: mum were mum drum and sticks
It is quite baffling how musical, virtuosic, and prodigious he was on every other instrument of the drum set-hi hat, snare, bass drum, ride, and crashes-way beyond anyone else. Yet he never made a statement with that Swish Knocker.
I would not compare him to Mozart. Buddy was self thought, he did not read music. Buddy Rich had excellent drumming technique and a lot of experience playing with the best swing era big bands of the 40's 50's and 60's. In 1966 Buddy Rich formed his own band.
To this day nobody has a faster left hand than Buddy. Maybe no one ever will. The kick drum, especially the double kick, has evolved since Buddy's time but I'm pretty sure Buddy Rich would've adapted and incorporated it to insane effect. It was truly stupid what Buddy Rich could do with a pair of sticks. We may never see the like.

Put rudiments, speed, class , and absolute perfection and you have Buddy Rich. Also wit and comedy.
THE BUS TAPES
He proved that it wouldn't deteriorate, even as he grew older.
And yet, young drummers today have the nerve to say Dave Grohl and Neil Peart are on Buddy's level. PAH-LEE-ZE!

Young folks only know what they've been exposed to...and very few listen to Big Band music and therefor...not Buddy either.
Lol I don't think anybody says that, but Dave Grohl is an excellent rock drummer, and can definitely play rock better than Buddy could.

This is the solo I share with the naysayers
His band, his kit, 2nd set, joints lubricated, band warmed up
The Tonight show appearances don't do him justice
we wouldn't have had Bonham, moon, baker, paice, Bruford etc if it weren't for Rich, Krupa etc
I wish there was an isolated track of this instead of the back of the room mic.
This makes sense , since he said he never kept a drum set at his house .it must have been a big deal for the whole family whenever he played.
Brutal, just brutal.
Touched by God !!
Hands down the master! 👍👍 R.I.P mister Rich you are missed!
Yikes! He was the best!
the Bruce Lee of drums.
