I don't know what's more mind-blowing: his speed, endurance or the never-ending variety? Many of the best drummers out there will run out of things to play after a minute or two if their arms don't seize up before then.
i don't think i ever heard him keep the fast stuff going for as long as he does here, it's almost like he was challenging himself........and pushing even HIS limits........quite astounding.......eternally. wb
After 55 years of playing drums and listening to Buddy, and if I'm not mistaken 30 years after his passing, I still can only say "Man, oh man, oh man!" The greatest there ever was. Let's hope he's still jamming with Louie on the other side. Thanks for sharing this clip!
I've probably listened to and watched hundreds of Buddy's performances. This is one of his greatest solos I've heard in 50 years of listening to him. My gawd, the creativity of his playing is not of this Earth, never mind his utter mastery of the rudiments, stick control and finger control.
Oh my God!!The depth and the technical ability is simply mind-boggling!! Seemingly endless ability. For any of us that knows buddies work we understand he simply is and always will be one of a kind. It is constant enjoyment listening, seeing and hearing buddies music. However every once in awhile when we think we're getting good, something like this shows up on RUclips as a reminder of how much more practice and stick time we need to put in!! Haha!! Don't you love it?!
Love swing style rhythm. Sounds so badass and just filled with attitude when the tempo is fast enough. Gets the blood flowing for sure. And you have to listen to older music to hear it it's completely absent from modern music.
Many thanks for letting us hear this solo of our Beloved Hero Buddy Rich. Once again Buddy does as he always does Provides the Mind Boggling drum solo of his expertise. thanks again.
Having seen Buddy at Disneyland where you could get within 10 feet of his drums it did indeed sound like a bomb, especially when he went to a 26” bass in 1983…
Amazing - bass drum at the end just mental. 1962!! I can hear things he does from later videos, this though is pure aggression and speed. Brutal genius of Buddy rich.
For me to say he is still the Greatest Drummer of all time, is Buddy Rich's limbs were all EQUAL! His left hand was as strong as his right, and his right foot was as strong as his left. It is apparent when you listen to those rolls!! His snare drum and the snares were always kept TIGHT, as was his Toms. You can NOT cheat on any of those drums which to the listener has you hearing perfection in those hands. Then you have the coordination between hands and feet, that are absolutely in sync! Mel Torme tells a story of when Buddy broke his arm or wrist, and he hadn't played at all in like 6 months or more. He called Buddy to go to a club downtown NYC to see a band. The band noticed Buddy and asked if he wanted to sit in. He DESTROYED that set of drums!! Even Mel was shocked. He hadn't played in over 6 months, and played as if he hadn't had any layoff.
Thank you! I have heard tons of Buddy Rich material, but I never heard this one before!! Wow!! I love it every bit as much as you do JB. Happy Birthday Buddy - and thank you for all you did. Here we are today still listening and marveling, and hopefully learning.
All I can think of at the end of this (other than picking my jaw up off the floor and emptying my drool cup and changing my diapers is poor Louie...how in the world do you follow that...? Answer: You can't so don't even try. Hopefully Buddy was merciful and let poor Louie go first that time because as great as Louie was and still is this particular onslaught by the drum wonder is so earth - shaking, spellbinding and climactic that the entire show could have and should have been wrapped up after that...JB appropriately dubbed this the "hurricane" John Bonham must have heard this as a lad because I can definitely hear the "Thunder of Drums" channeled through Buddy here. Definitely one of the most if not THE most aggressive and relentless drum solo in history. Sort of like Dave Black's "train" bass drum solo but with cascades of paradittles on top injected with steroids and nitro-glycerin! JB thanks for sharing this between you and Cloudview you guys are keeping us die-hard in drum therapy heaven! Peace, Bob M.
I can’t imagine what Buddy would sound like today on a nice new drum set. But realize Buddy could play a cardboard box and make it sound good. This solo is just awesome!
@@larrysmith6797 Generally I think newer drums sound worse. And newer cymbals, or the thick cymbal stands that hold them, always sound worse, at least for jazz.
Drum solos should be outlawed now that Buddy Rich has finished with them. Thank God we have recordings to prove such drummer existed, otherwise no one would believe it!
THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO HAVE PUT IT....i'M ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES WHO GOT TO SEE HEAR AND BE BROUGHT TO TEARS NOT TO MENTION HAVING THE LIMITED DISTINCTION OF HAVING SHARED A JOINT WITH HIM AND MY DEAR LATE BROTHER BACK IN 84 i BELIEVE ANYHOW WHAT CAN ANYONE SAY THAT HASNT BEEN SAID i CAN SAFELY SAY BUDDY HAD EVERY DRUMMER ALIVE AND SINCE IN HIS BACK POCKET HE HAD THIS INSANE GIFT THAT EVEN THE GIFTED OF US MARVEL AY i SHOULD KNOW....GOD DO i EVER MISS THIS GUY.. i HAD BETTER LEAVE BEFORE MY EYES WELL UP WHICH IS STARTING..{JUST GOT THAT SAD LUMP IN MY THROATT...THANKS YOU FOR PUTTING IT SO WELL AND THE UPLOADER FOR SHARING...
Some still don't believe...people like docl Cully think they cw xloaw and that Ken wolmer guy now seems like a nice guy but sadly both as most will just fail and sadly fallen terribly short most have good hands but.no swing down the life of me i can't figure out why they bother esp I'm the.public way they do. Private yeah it's fun to try but on here..uh. Nooo
@@JBPerraudindrummerOfficial mmmmmm..i think this right here is buddy's most frightening speed and power in my opinion good lawd.. just listen to this wooow!!!
The photos show him playing Ludwig but this performance would be on his Rogers drum kit. I believe it was 1960 he started playing Rogers until he fell out with CBS & went on to play Trixon & Vox into 1968.
HAVING BEEN TO QUITE A FEW LIVE SHOWS iVE ALWAYS DESCRIBED HIS BASS DRUM SOUND LIKE A HOWITZER CANNON IT DEF WENT RIGHT THROUGH TO YOUR HEART AND LUNGS MAN IT WAS SO DIFFERENT ACTUALLY SEEING IT AND HEARING IT IN PERSON THERE IS AN ELEMENT MISSING IN EVERY AUDIO OR VIDEO THAT i CANT DESCRIBE A SORT OF EXITING SCARY FEELING i;VE HEARD OTHER GUYS SAY ABOUT THE SAME THING SADLY IT SEEMS TAPES VIDS ETC COULD NEVER REALLY CAPTURE THAT 5TH? DIMENSION OF IT ALL
Man, just when you' think you've heard the "best" solo from Buddy, here comes another. To my memory there isn't one where he travels around the kit with such a single stroke fury as this. And I can say with a100% certainty that nobody alive or dead could play close to this level of speed and fluidity. And I'm a big fan of drummers from all walks, eras and genres. Buddy couldn't do everything and isn't the greatest of everything that was or is possible on drums. But he did stuff that nobody else can do. Maybe Dennis Chambers could get close. And neither Buddy nor Dennis could do what Virgil Donati has accomplished either. Al said, the bar is too high here for the single stroke speed demons.
heard lot of his solos and seen him live...will say I think this one is one of his best...ofcourse I believe he was showing Louie who was boss,,,so more nasty than usual
Buddy Rich was supposedly the world's best drummer only because he was getting it at getting publicity! JW Miller❤ he liked to blow his own horn he should have been a Trumpeter❤
to these ears he keeps the swing/shuffle feel throughout while doing the rolls, and i like that, but there are buddy solos where once he starts the rolls on the snare, (to these ears), the swing feel at the start of the solo is lost, again to these unskilled ears.
A stupid son of a bitch steals some of my video for his channel. His channel is only composed by video he steals from people. So, no more videos. We can all thanks "BuddyRichfan".Period.
I think the title should be 'buddy rich - drumsolo. ' the more I learn about this man the more I am convinced that he only improved. the only way was up. I don't even technically understand why he was unique. just listen and you know whether you understand the tech or not. I have not seen or heard any drummer (good great and fantastic ones) even come close to what buddy did as a total package.
Don’t you have to laugh , when today’s younger drummers think their rock/ metal drummers, are better.. They’ve probably never seen or heard Buddy play..
lol funny funny. The main thing I thought and actually I said I know someone else thinks that let me go see if they made any comments about it. Not all too far down the page here you are as right as rain. Bonham had several influences, but from my readings and listening it does appear that perhaps It's Buddy was by far his greatest influence.
That speed like that non stop is no other drummer has ever done in this lifetime. Sweet Jesus.
I don't know what's more mind-blowing: his speed, endurance or the never-ending variety? Many of the best drummers out there will run out of things to play after a minute or two if their arms don't seize up before then.
This is the most incredible solo i heard Buddy play. Out of this World 😮
He is, and always will be the most phenomenal drummer ever.
i don't think i ever heard him keep the fast stuff going for as long as he does here, it's almost like he was challenging himself........and pushing even HIS limits........quite astounding.......eternally. wb
Exactly right!! What we miss are the drum battle Buddy and Louie maid during the JATP tour of 1954... I'm sure it was frightening!!
If you enjoyed this. Check out a LP called conversations with Louie and Kenny Clare. His solo on Son Of Chuchulainn will blow you away. 😊
totally mind blowing!
After 55 years of playing drums and listening to Buddy, and if I'm not mistaken 30 years after his passing, I still can only say "Man, oh man, oh man!" The greatest there ever was. Let's hope he's still jamming with Louie on the other side. Thanks for sharing this clip!
Check my channel.. there are other good audios with Buddy (with Mike Manieri at Birdland and few others...)

And foot control, too!
Totally incredible; first time I stumbled on this solo.

Buddy Rich is one of the baddest drummers to pick up a pair of sticks 🥁 love watching him play one of the greatest ever
the Greatest Drummer of ALL time bar none
Always this nonsense GOAT comment under every famous drummer's video
A phenomenal display of stamina ..not to mention speed and creative in ...1962 very rock and roll also
Many thanks for letting us hear this solo of our Beloved Hero Buddy Rich. Once again Buddy does as he always does Provides the Mind Boggling drum solo of his expertise. thanks again.
Thanks for the comment! check my channel, there are other clips of Buddy Rich! ;)
the snare sounds so good here.
Rogers Dyna Sonic….. the best snare drum ever made. Period.
His mind was running on 440 volts ! A musical freak of nature 💪. Lyrical and technical, which usually don't go together very well 👍
My second favorite solo only to the one he does at the Hague in 1978
I don't know if it's the way it's been miked but every time he drops his foot, that bass drum sounds like
a bomb going off. Amazing Solo.
Having seen Buddy at Disneyland where you could get within 10 feet of his drums it did indeed sound like a bomb, especially when he went to a 26” bass in 1983…
Rogers. The Cadillac of the day and Buddy, the best ever.

I have heard quite a few of buddy's solos but nothing like this what an amazing piece of work this is from the almighty buddy rich
Buddy's solos were like a song within a song! Thanks for posting!
Buddy Rich is the king of all drummers.
Intergalactic riffs, my friends!
Thanks for posting ! What a great way to celebrate Buddy's 100th birthday ! His influence lives on to this day ! Thanks again for posting !

Shocking, really! The more you know about playing, the more impressive it is.

"top injected with steroids and nitro-glycerin".. ha ha.. excellent! :)) .. thanks for the comment...
Sounds like.. ..the last 64 solos I've heard from him.All consistent, dynamics. Bless him
I would differ..this is more balls to da walls than his usual solos..anytime it was a battle against another it was nastier I think
Thank you for posting this! Haven't heard this one before, and loved hearing it.
Thanks Mike!! :)
Fantastic

What makes you think new drums sound better than what Buddy played?
@@larrysmith6797 Generally I think newer drums sound worse. And newer cymbals, or the thick cymbal stands that hold them, always sound worse, at least for jazz.
Totally amazing
Nobody plays the traps like Buddy Rich!
Especially THAT day!!! :))
Tempo You mean “Contraption” as they originally referred to the drumset as!!!!
The '60s were Buddy's best decade..
The 67 68 swingin new big band
Sometimes, people get carried away, telling us this is THE BEST, but really it's their opinion. THEIR OPINION.
right!!!
Brush work so clean.

Holy fucking shit!!!!!!!!!! I think you just might be right about the title
Whoahhh!!! Fucking insane out of this world speed & playing!!!!!!
yeah ! Buddy est et restera le Boss , merci JB
Robby Ménière on est d'accord.. 😁
Two years after a heart attack
Maybe I should have a heart attack
Don’t say that! Just enjoy playing and keep getting better, that’s all we can do.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Times 1000
In the 60s buddy speed was INSANE like crazy!!!!!
I would be curious to listen to some drum battles between Rich & Bellson during the 1954 JATP Tour....it was probably more frightening than this!!
@@JBPerraudindrummerOfficial mmmmmm..i think this right here is buddy's most frightening speed and power in my opinion good lawd.. just listen to this wooow!!!
and buddy always used to say" I never practice"
Dude, this is his practice only
lol, define "practice"
What a pity there is no video of it.
The military approached Buddy Rich on the hopes of acquiring him as a secret weapon.
Ahhhh ....The “DYNA-SONIC” SOUNDS of Buddy Rich!

Interesting how I've thought since i was a boy (1960's) that Buddy Rich and Leonard Nimoy looked like kin.
much thanks again jB Rogers?
Oh yes, Rogers!!! :)
... and to flesh it out a bit, Buddy was with Rogers from 1960 to 1967, so anything within that time frame were his Rogers drums!

I know him.. from band "the shadows".. very good drummer!!
LOusy snare drum sound for him

Buddy's solos in '76 at Carnegie Hall (troll RUclips) were far more musical and technically advanced then what was presented in Vegas "62.
Correctemundo
Im a huge buddy admirer but this drum solo is not so good ...actually boring ...his best is his drum solo in Paris par excellence
I know John Bonham must have been influenced by Buddy. I hear it in Bonham's playing ! And its great!

You wanna know the scariest part? Buddy never practiced. All of his playing came from his concerts.
Gavin Blackshear wrong.... He spent over 100k hours playing in his life time
Is there a video anywhere of this specific performance?
