    Bernard "Buddy" Rich (September 30, 1917 - April 2, 1987) was an American jazz drummer and bandleader. He is considered one of the most influential drummers of all time. Known as a virtuoso with phenomenal power and speed, he had his own big band and performed with jazz greats including Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, and Harry James.
    Rich was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, raised by family of Jewish-American vaudevillians. His father claimed that his son could keep a beat with spoons by age 1. He discovered his affinity for jazz music at a young age and began drumming at the age of 2. At age 3, Rich began appearing on the vaudeville stage as "Baby Traps the Drum Wonder," despite having no formal training.
    At age 11, Buddy Rich became a bandleader. However, in 1929, the negative economic impact of the Great Depression destroyed many careers in entertainment. Buddy's father, Robert, retired from vaudeville in 1931, and Rich himself struggled to put together gigs through much of the rest of the decade.
    He began playing jazz in 1937, working with acts such as Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie, and Harry James. From 1942 to 1944, Rich served in the U.S. Marines. Buddy Rich had other talents beyond drumming and incorporated tap dancing, singing, and comedy routines into his act. He was reportedly the second-highest paid child entertainer at the peak of his early popularity.
    From 1945 to 1948, he led the Buddy Rich Orchestra. In 1966, he recorded a big-band style arrangement of songs from West Side Story. He found lasting success in 1966 with the formation of the Buddy Rich Big Band, also billed as the Buddy Rich Band and The Big Band Machine.
    Rich was known for his virtuoso technique, power, and speed. He was an advocate of the traditional grip, though he occasionally used match grip when playing the toms. Despite his commercial success and musical talent, Rich never learned how to read sheet music, preferring to listen to drum parts and play them from memory.
    Rich was born in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, New York, to Jewish-American parents Bess Skolnik and Robert Rich, both vaudevillians. Before he turned two, he was part of his parents' act on vaudeville, but on breaks he would sneak into the orchestra pit and try to get the drummer's sticks. Rich would often sneak into jazz clubs at an age when he looked old enough to sit on the drum set. He was on Broadway as Baby Traps the Drum Wonder at age four, playing "Stars and Stripes Forever" on a drum. He was a singer and tap dancer. In his teens he led a band and toured in the U.S. and Australia. At fifteen he became the second highest paid child entertainer behind Jackie Coogan during the 1930s.
    Rich cited Gene Krupa, Jo Jones, Chick Webb, Ray McKinley, Ray Bauduc and Sid Catlett as influences.
    He usually held his sticks with the traditional grip. He used the matched grip when playing floor toms around the drum set while performing cross-stickings (crossing arm over arm), which was one of his party tricks, often leading to loud cheers from the audience. Another technique he used to impress was the stick-trick, a fast roll performed by slapping two drumsticks together in a circular motion using "taps" or single-stroke stickings. He often used contrasting techniques to keep long drum solos from getting mundane. Aside from his energetic, explosive displays, he would go into quieter passages. One passage he would use in most solos started with a simple single-stroke roll on the snare drum picking up speed and power, then slowly moving his sticks closer to the rim as he got quieter, and eventually playing on the rim itself while still maintaining speed.

    Funny story about this guy. My Uncle once went to see this guy at some point. He was very impressed. When he snuck to the backstage door where other fans were gathering he waited for a chance to meet Buddy and get his autograph, totally unaware of what the guy was like in real life. After about a half an hour he comes out to the awes of everyone. My Uncle makes his way towards Buddy as he comes out when suddenly the man comes careening outside in a fit of rage yelling "DON'T PUSH!!!!" He shoves everyone of his shocked admirers out of his way and moves past my Uncle who had moments before.... just changed his mind about approaching the man lol.

      I have a different story about different man. Among pianists recognized as the greatest pianist to ever live, a bit introverted but with a big heart. Helped so many people in tough times, never forgot his country and his people even after he left the country for good, even after his music was banned there. Didn't talk too much but he is one of those supertalents who was just genuinely a good person. His name was Sergey Vasilievich Rachmaninov.
      Fun fact, when they asked Sergey's friend and another legendary pianist Arthur Rubinstein who was, according to his opinion, the greatest pianist of their time, he said "Vladimir Horowitz". They followed "What about Rachmaninov?" to which Rubinstein replied "Rachmaninov is not a pianist, Rachmaninov is a god."

      > *"most of his most iconic solos, he changes from traditional to matched"*
      Mostly? Actually it's pretty rare for him to change to match grip. But there's something you missed. At 0:51 he flips the sticks over and is holding the sticks backwards with the thick ends out. Why is he doing this? He's doing it because of the *"style"* of the song. In the Big Band era, songs that have the Duke Ellington "Jungle Style", drummers used a lot of *toms* (especially the *floor toms* ). Because of this, he (and every other Big Band drummer) held the sticks in a way that gives the toms a louder/bassier sound: backwards. And he's playing the Floor Toms the way he would play tympani drums: match Grip.
      (Also, notice that once he flips the sticks over, he is no longer playing any double-stroke rudiments. And because he rarely plays in this backwards/match-grip style, he's a little sloppy playing the crossover fills on the snare & floor tom at 1:12)

      We know that the traditional grip had to do with marching band snare. Back in the year 1001. When they wore a strap to hold their tilted snare . 1001 was a bit of an exaggeration but you all understand. Anyways, Buddy switched to twin grip playing floortoms mainly. 🖒😊 I still think he's undefeated. Imagine him on kits they have today! Plus the soundboard! Even at 100 years old, he would be amazing, hypothetically ..........

      @@arymonem Hi Ary! I'm not sure about that. When I met Louie Belson, he was really nice. Sam Ulano treated everyone like family. Everyone used to complain about Ginger Baker's temper; but when I met him at Manny's in New York, he treated me very respectfully. And, when I sat down and spoke with Carmine Appice, he treated me as a friend, even though it was the first time we met. Some people are just down to Earth. They don't let success inflate their egos. Pat Benetar and Neil Giraldo are really down to Earth and well-balanced. I think they qualify as superstars. Jon Bonjovi and his wife volunteer at soup kitchens. They raise money and donate their own money to feed people. I think if you look at the Music World, you'll see a cross section of society. The media focuses on sensationalism, not benevolence.

      @@arymonem Hi Ary! I was lucky enough that I grew up in a time and place where live music was in high demand. Though Manhattan was a focal point for music, Most of the the clubs were in suburban New Jersey and Upstate New York. Club capacity ranged from 400 to 2000 persons. The average capacity was about 800 persons. Usually, the deal with the club management was the band received the cover charge for the evening; which was usually $4.00 a person. The bands had to work hard at marketing themselves. They had to play dance music. And, they needed to keep their material current. Meeting people in the audience, shaking hands, engaging in social conversation was as important as the quality of your music. Every band published calendars of where and when they would be performing. Some bands had mailing lists and paid the costs. Others just handed them out to the club audiences, and posted them on bulletin boards. Your fan base and popularity grew from word of mouth, friends telling other friends about you. It was easy to make a weeks worth of money playing 3 sets, 3 nights a week. The young musicians of today aren't as lucky. Current club capacities are about a quarter of the size. A lot of bands actually lose money by performing.

    Buddy is the best of the best. Funny here, because the band screwed up by coming in at the wrong time during the approaching end of Buddy's solo. A wonderful drum solo. More musical than many of the other ones I have heard. Saw the man in a school gymnasium in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada about 3 or so years before he died. We sat and listened to this barber shop quartet doing their stuff but it went on for too long. Obviously Buddy was late for the show. It got to the point where the audience was mumbling about it being a no show. Anyway, Buddy did show up and man, he was bombed on booze or something as he staggered up to the stage. We thought it was going to be an embarrassment. His drum kit was so small, too. I first thought it belonged to the school band and that they would be removing them to bring out the real Buddy Rich drums. Couldn't be, I thought. (I was seeing them from more of a side on view, so I couldn't see the BR on the big bass drum.) But no, it was his drum kit. Anyway, when he sat on the stool and started playing, it was mind blowing. He put on a great show. When he did a solo, it was overwhelming and deafening. I wasn't too far from him. The greatest drummer to have ever lived. Will never forget.
