I got to see Buddy play live just once, when I was about thirteen. I remember wondering how I would ever dare touch a drum set again after watching the master.
Thanks so much for posting these videos. Buddy and Johnny were 2 of my all time favorite people in show biz. Antenna TV shows Johnny shows but they do not show many with musical numbers. Plus, they air the same episodes over and over.
These drums used to stay at NBC for Buddy to use when he played the Tonight Show. They were angled completely different than Buddy’s gigging setup, yet Buddy never touched a thing. Not a cymbal tilted, Tom or anything. This was him playing anyone’s kit. He just sat down and played the drums. And if he didn’t quite get the clarity on a hit he wanted, he never made an excuse for a single thing.
Generally, Pro Drum Shop in Hollywood would send over a set for Buddy, since he typically would appear once every 3 months (not a strict rule, obviously).
Boy does this put a smile on your face. Nice to see BR and Jay Corre together again. But those drums....what the heck?! You'll notice Buddy barely touches any of the toms. You gotta wonder how something like that happens...or doesn't happen. Doesn't reflect well on the show or Ludwig for that matter.
Watching a bunch of these seems they use that set like two or three times and then the visit after this in 1985 they had a kit just like his. The solo on this chart, Bugle Rall Rag, usually tended to be snare heavy anyway. It’s nice he got to play a tune out of his own book. A lot of time it would write special ‘head’ charts to save and licensing fees And just play something real quick for Buddy to build a solo off of.
I agree with you 1,000% on all that tape. Who in the world would have the greatest drummer in the world play those drums with all of that tape on the tom-toms. DAVID SAELENS (drummer, Rock Island, Illinois) (posted 15 NOV. 2018)
But are you rich used to play Slingerland drums along with JGenr Krupa And they don’t make Slingerland drums anymore because Gibson guitar bough Slingerland drums and they quit making them I don’t know why they would do such a stupid thingTo bring back Slingerland promise cause they were really good drums I got us later I got a set of Slingerland drums along with a Ludwig Drums hell for that matter bring back rRogers Drums why do people do that when you come please buy products and they take them Off the market that’s like when Fender bought Sunn Amplifiers they took them off the market to make she wonder
@@philiphoward1731 You got your wish Philip! Gibson sold the Slingerland rights & name to Drum Workshop in Nov.2019. DW will have a formal announcement @ NAMM 2020!
Matthew Paluch OK that’s really good news and when they bring them back I wanna buy a Slingerland drum set. OK we also have to bring back the drawer of the Rogers drum set line they were very good drums and they were made in Ohio Michigan. When CBS instruments on fender guitars they also on Rogers drums and bands that were in Dorst by Fender also got free Roger strums to use they were really good drums also
That was the sound engineer at The Tonight Show, he did the same thing to Ed Shaughnessy’s drums. Back then wannabe sound engineers would make you bust your ass to play just so they could get a dry sound and not have to do crap to it. We couldn’t see the batter side of the bass, but I bet it had tape and muffling all over it. Buddy could care less, he could wail on a phone book if he had to.
TINNY LUDWIGS ALWAYS SOUND TOO TREBLE. THEY SHOULD OF HAD JOHNNY'S SET. THE ONE BUDDY GOT FOR HIM. A--BEAUTIFUL ONE-OF-A-KIND. SLINGERLAND !!!!! THEN HE WOULD PLAY ALL OF IT!! BEST DAM DRUMS I EVER PLAYED.....NEVER SAID NOTIN BOUT LUDWIG!
Buddy did play Ludwig drums and endorsed them for a period of time. He also played and endorsed Rogers. His snare drum of choice was Fibes. BTW Ludwig and Slingerland sound virtually the same given the same sizes, same heads and tuning. If you closed your eyes you would not be able to tell the difference.
It took Buddy's daughter having a baby to turn Buddy from a slob to a kindly old gent. I'm sure that little grandchild made buddy realize what a prick he was to everyone all those years.
I hate this arrangement, no matter what band plays it, it has too many weak spots when the rhythm section drops out. Sounds like everybody slows down to me.
Great to see and hear. Man I MISS Buddy Rich. Saw him Live the first time in 1972, and many times there after. ALWAYS great.

Buddy was such a hard driving groove machine! fabulous band !!!
I've heard the exact same thing about u Rita, from quite a number of folks in different states as well as various countries.

George Segal really does a great Buddy Rich impression.
3:30 - what a transformation! He does look like Buddy!
BR, como siempre, excelente. No sé qué habrá pasado con su pobre nieto.
Those might actually be Johnny Carson's drums
That Cathy Rich's baby named Nick Rich? Nick is the great modern drummer

Yep. My hero!
Unbelievable, sounds like two drummers at once.

I think Alex Van Halen must have snuck in and put the duct ape on those toms?
Yeah I'm sure he did want to hit those toms all taped killing the sound of the drum.. I wonder where they found that set that's ridiculous.
That wasn't Jay Corre but Ernie Watts, who was with Buddy's band in the mid 60's

Jay Corre? I think that's Ernie Watts....I'm pretty sure.
Can't believe Buddy would play on a set with all of that tape on the drum heads. DAVID L. SAELENS, drummer. (Posted 23 October 2018).
You dont have to state your name and what day you posted lol
Well I noticed he barely play them he was on that snare a long time didn't hit them once..
That left hand…
Look at all the tape on the toms.
Buddy never muffled his toms...who was the idiot who would have done that.
A good way to spoil the Ludwig sound.

A crappier set of drums has never been played
