  • It is without a doubt that Buddy Rich was THE MASTER of the drum set of the 20th Century (and in my opinion is the master of the drum set in the 21st Century as well!) Here's a compilation of several of his best Tonight Show With Johnny Carson Drum Solos he ever played!

      I would say that his snare speed (one-hand rolls) has been surpassed (or at least matched) by many modern drummers. However, no one had that speed until much later. I believe Jojo Mayer was one of the first to begin to even understand how Buddy got that speed, or at least teach it. There's a handful of heavy metal drummers who's got control beyond belief these days. Alot of them are using triggers, and very few of them groove the way Buddy did.

    He made it look easy and kicked your butt at the same time with the Carson band who were all " unknown " musicians that were monsters unto themselves.

    Probably the only video I’ve seen in which my smile is unchanged for the entire duration . The feeling of his pushing so hard no matter what and still making time to have a laugh because , why not ? The red sweater one , evoked misty eyes and laughs when he finished . It’s something so hard to put into words … but when you feel it , you know . This is like witnessing an alchemy… someone playing with dynamite like it’s no big deal and respecting it at the same time . Willing to go to the edge and jump off for us . God bless this gd wonder of the world

    For a right handed drummer, Buddy's "weak" hand moves faster than anything I've ever seen. I've been playing the drums for 20+ years and could never even deign to achieve a fraction of the greatness that was Buddy Rich. 🤘🏻 One of the all time greats to ever grace the throne.

    I remember seeing this live. As a drummer in a garage band, I discovered Buddy Rich by watching Johnny Carson. Johnny was a good friend and helped Buddy revive his career when the public was losing interest in jazz. I loved the Tonight Show band and I anxiously awaited the shows with Buddy. This was long before the days of the VCR. Since then, I learned to play jazz and moonlighted for over 50 years.
    While I respect Buddy's ability, he is not my favorite drummer. In the rock genre, I think Jon "Bonzo" Bonham was the best. In the crossover rock/jazz, I prefer Danny Seraphine. My overall favorite drummer in jazz - and I have many - is Joe Morello.

      Perhaps...I'm a HORRIBLE lip reader myself, and I would not be surprised if he couldn't hear as those sound stages often have terrible acoustics. Sound stages are built to keep noise from outside out...not for acoustics. In this situation I think there was an equal chance that he was complimenting Conte Candoli on a great trumpet solo.
