Exaggerated sense of his own importance and ability? Your're damn right! Anybody would agree, too. Ya' know, the great jazz drummer Stan Levey once described a drum battle he was iin back in the 40's after a jazz concert. The drummers onstage were Stan, Gene Krupa, Max Roach and Buddy Rich. Stan said when Buddy got through with us, we all looked like babies in diapers. I believe Buddy's personality showed the inustices he had to endure when he was young, especially when he was in the Marine Corps. Chapter 5 of John Minihan's fine book on Buddy - The Torment Of Buddy Rich, A Biography - lays it all out. "Greatness inspires envy, envy inspires spite, spite inspires lies." Thrive Global.

I love what he had to say about how lame country music is.

We know lol

AWESOME

And now with UA-cam! 6 year old kids are unbelievable !!!!! Luv it!!!

Buddy Rich is the greatest drummer who ever lived on Earth. No, Virgil or any new wanna be "Jazz" drummer will never surpass Morello or Buddy.

There is no doubt in my mind how great Louis bellson was first and foremost a gentleman first class now I disagree with you buddy rich had that special way of playing his drum solos he was one of a kind gene Krupa said he was the greatest drummer to draw breath gene was right another factor to take consideration buddy was a good tap dancer he tap danced a set of drums bellson used two bass drums I talked to Louie after a concert bellson told me directly he said everything I do with two bass drums buddy can do with one

Being a drummer myself, I have to acknowledge the fact that Buddy is playing all this amazing stuff " In A Suit!" Try it! I can barely get through a gig in shorts and tank top! Lol!

Sixty years later and all we have now is a never ending barrage of 32nd note linear drumming. 😢

I've always felt of the two, Louis was more musical than Buddy. Buddy might have had the edge on speed at his best. Louis probably only gets mentioned 10% of the time when talking about the greatest drummers, compared to Buddy. I think too many people now just never saw him play.

Very good!

What ever works best for you. Buddy was the best but he was also a big asshole.

Traditional grip makes his left shoulder sag. Not very ergonomic on the spine and scapula and rhomboid intercostal muscles.

Why do people think they have to "colorize" clips like this?

What the date of this

Ian Paice of Deep Purple. A Hell of a Match Grip Drummer....THE BEST!

The master

Buddy is levels above Gene...who is a very impressive drummer in his own right. Just speaks to BR's talent.

This looks awful

Big ego.. lots of flash and no soul .. was an asshole to his band members ...move over buddy you're no Elvin Jones or Max Roach.

As drummers we all know his extraordinary talent was not his solos, of course they were amazing however his ensemble chops were dazzling, the fantastic interplay on the cymbals, never intruding on the soloists and breathing with the ensemble as if he'd personally authored the charts even though he didnt read music. He possessed an audiographic memory, he'd listen to the band play the chart one time and then record it on the first time he played it, having at that time memorized it for life. Art Tatum and Harry James possesed the same gift. This particular band featured here is from 1967 and were showcased on the Summer replacment show for Jackie Gleason that year. The band personell was a whose who of terriffic LA musicians including Chuck Finley, Ollie Mitchell, Pat LaBarbra, and Jay Corre to name a few. Would certainly love to see more of these entire episodes digitally remastered. The show also srarred Buddy Greco and George Carlin along with some fantastic guest performers. Thanks so much for the post!!

WHY I DISAGREE WITH BUDDY. Buddy is still my favorite drummer, but what he says here is nonsense. A lot of great drummers plays/played with matched grip like John Bonham, Ian Paice, Jeff Porcaro, Bill Bruford, John Blackwell, Phil Collins, Bill Stewart etc. etc. etc. ... Don't they know how to play and move around the kit? Of course the do/did, so come on, Buddy and allies, you should know better.

Buddy's most creative endeavor was.... THE BUS TAPES!

Most drummers play matched grip as standard nowadays, especially in Rock

All while sitting like Quasimodo.... Best grip eva!!

"they hold the stick wrong" Buddy was an idiot quite often.

There is no wrong or right grip, at the end of the day it’s all about how you sound

He was a genius for sure but his way of playing and his taste in music wasnt the only way, but he believed it was. He tight-roped the thin line between being well informed and being arrogant. I think he lent towards the latter. It was his way or the highway.

Hello papa thanks for the lesson snare drum sounds good.

Splendid!

love the unintentional rim shot and his reaction at 1:22

When Buddy made this comment he was about 80% correct, as there were very few guys who could touch him in terms of pure technique pretty much until the time he died.OTOH, I guess he never saw Tony Williams play. I really wish he'd lived a bit longer so he could see the monster technical geniuses in todays world of drumming who use matched grip.

wow pure genius right here lol, yeah mr rich of course you can't do the same on the snare w match grip cuz you've angled it away from you ya muppet. It doesn't matter which grip you use. Trad grip is a solution to a problem drummers don't have anymore.

Fantastic performance from them both. One a drum legend and the other a true comedy legend. I miss them both. 🥁🥁

Great lesson, nice example also for my Students, thanks for sharing !

hm i wonder why he prefers the thing he's already comfortable and proficient with

Buddy could play any grip and make heads turn Still today no one comes close to buddy rich enough said

Those cymbals.. so brilliant... I didn't know these types of bronze existed back then, thought it was mostly the ZIldjian A style.. I will say that Krupa is completely outmatched in technique and speed compared to Buddy, however Gene really shows class in the melodic side of drumming.

He even gave them a little on the 2nd floor tom.

I can certainly see why buddy rich was so highly regarded as a drummer. The problem is that in his own band that drumming skill had no obvious use case. Rather his skills were only ever showcased as far as I can see, essentially as show pony party tricks on TV shows. Admittedly the drummers paradise of rock music hadn't been developed when rich was active, but nonetheless it means his drumming was never an integral part of a broader artistic expression. He just had a showband and did elaborate solos in the middle of tracks that didn't really require it. This last bit is maybe a little bit unfair but you came across to me is a bit of a wanker

What are jou using exatly as laptop mount? What brand? Îm looking for that! Thanks!

Ever? So youtube 2024. Titles like that distract from the greatness of his truth.

Man drumming sounded so much more furious and intense in the old recording systems. I mean also cuz it was…but still

That’s why I play Agop

At this time I was a soldier in viet nam and serving in the u s army I was fortunate to come home and was stationed in Atlanta Georgia my big welcome home present was to see and hear fantastic buddy rich and his dynamic big band

Watching his right foot is worth the price of admission as well.

Could always use it as a hat!😊

Its kinda common on thin cymbals to come inverted, you should be able to "pop it" back to its original form without damages with some force. I would suggest loosening your cymbals a bit more to avoid keyholes or bell cracks due to pressure

Apparently they never heard of Max Roach
