you got that right. He's the man who makes the band sound good. Check our how hip he makes the Benny Goodman band sound. ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=sid+catlett+benny+goodman
in terms of jazz content, paradoxically, the best number is the Cab Calloway one, with a wonderful Joanh Jones on trumpet , and incredible swing from Panama Francis and (I believe) Milt Hinton on bass. Then of course, Basie with Buddy de Franco, Clark Terry, Wardfell Gray and Gus Johnson, and Hampton
Steve Percoco Another Buddy Rich fan who has no idea what he’s talking about. Buddy idolized Webb and Papa Jo Jones who was the father of modern drumming
Steve Percoco Only ignorant, immature, musically illiterate, rhythmically challenged amateurs would dare to talk so stupidly about Chick Webb. Go play your kazoo.
Drumming my fellow 'hitters of things' is not a competitive sport based on multiple opinions.. Drumming is drumming around the world and just as diverse.. No need to rate or judge.. Having favorites is a different thing but to each their own tastes.
That's Marie Bryant, by the way, dancing with Cab Calloway (12:52-14:30). Met her once in Los Angeles in the mid-1980s; she still had it. (Her footwork with Paul White to Duke Ellington's 'Bli-Blip' [1942] is worth a look.)
Panama Francis - electrifying playing when the instrumental starts, with a unique Jump Blues/Bebop style. Clear winner for rhythmic feel. But Count Basie the best overall performance. And with Wardell Gray too!
Buddy was an amazing drummer but, I agree, he was almost always the center of attention and he made sure of it... That was Buddy.. so, I agree, kind of a funny statement, coming from the Ham himself....lol
Hola, para mí él siempre será Gene krupa. Y la mejor interpretación de batería té veré en mi bateria,de Shadows, no niego que actualmente también hay excelentes bateristas.
Buddy Rich doesn't sound anything like Chick Webb so how exactly did he copy him. Your full of shit. You can say anyone who came on the scene before anyone else "copied" that person so I can say Chick Webb had to copy someone right? John Dodds maybe. Or according to you did it all start with Chick Webb? Show me a Chick Webb solo or even comping that compares to Buddy Rich playing West Side Story or Time Being or Chanel One Suite. I'll be waiting for that and also this interview your talking about. Don't make me wait to long now pal.
@@spercoco Interview with Buddy Rich, 1968 available at: www.jazzprofessional.com/interviews/Buddy%20Rich_8.htm "The greatest soloist I ever heard on drums was Chick Webb. In order to find out where drumming is at today, you must go back to the very beginning. And I think the greatest drummer that ever lived was Chick Webb. He was my favourite drummer. Not that I have too many favourite drummers: I’m not too easily impressed with people. But this man overcame all his difficulties; he was a dwarf, with a big hump on his back. "He had a special set of drums made for him. Goose-neck cymbal holders, and everything was arranged so that he could reach it when he was up there. He had fantastic speed. I was fortunate to see a concert that was performed by the Chick Webb band and the Benny Goodman band in 1937 at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. Gene Krupa was with Goodman at the time-and he never recovered from the shock. He’d be the first to admit it, because he’s a very honourable man. "The Goodman band played “Sing, Sing, Sing” about an hour before it was time to close. Up until that time, Chick had just been coasting along, being merely magnificent. Benny had been pulling out all his flag-wavers. Finally, on “Sing, Sing, Sing,” Gene did all his bits, and tore the place apart. People screaming, throwing kids out of the window. "There were two bandstands? like a movie thing. And when they finished, the first thing that Chick went into was “Liza,” and that was up about double the tempo of “Sing, Sing, Sing.” Chick Webb played a 20-minute solo-and Gene was looking for razor blades!"
Buddy Rich was Absolutely the fastest most technically advanced drummer without a doubt. All you have to do is watch and listen . He was also a fantastic musician as well. Gene Krupa said he was the Greatest drummer that ever drew breath. He is and will always be the measuring stick by which all drummers are measured.
I thought I knew some things about buddy ..I was shcked to see him using matched grip ..i had no idea he ever even considered using matched ..I thought he despised it !..so obviously I dont know enough .
Ronnie Mormino buddy was a grumpy old man. He played traditional in later years and was basically like "I'm buddy rich and i play traditional and match is wrong." even though he played it in his early years
He used it when it suited him. I think when you're mostly banging on the toms, matched is just more effective (is for me anyway). Look for his appearance on the Muppet Show, and the drum battle with Animal. He uses it there, and that was in the 80s. :-)
This video is only 20 minutes of a 70 minute video entitled "Classic Jazz Drummers: Swing Era and Beyond." It includes plenty more drummers, like Kenny Clarke, Philly Joe Jones, and others.
The buddy Rich quote is HILARIOUS as he is the ONLY drummer in this list who is FRONT and CENTER playing with orchestra!!! 😆🤣
Eventually he became a band leader and took his place front and center
This era needs a come back
It won't, but history has tendency to repeat it self.
Micheal bublé
Viper striker
Very much so!👍
Time never to be seen again. Unfortunately
@@striker_kbdBublé is only a big baby😂
It’s interesting how everybody is so restrained whilst absolute madness unfolds in the sound waves around them.
I have wondered about that as well. Maybe it is just that they have done it over and over and over. Must get old and hard to keep the enthusiasm.
These guys had primitive drums, but their feel was incredible. They were pioneers
Admirable la agilidad,de los drum de los bateristas de aquellas epocas .
El swing de c/u de los músicos son estupendos y maravillosos.
An amazing compilation of the true drumming masters of the past.
The master of all is not there...Chick Webb !
I too believe his the best, he can do strange sounds on that drums.
Sadly, there is almost no footage of chick playing. Only a background shot in the short "after seben" that I know of
Selmer1947: got that right! Chick is still the BEST ever! Even Buddy said it.
2:50 any song, even about being happy when someone is dead is totally acceptable as long as you smile. lol
*points gun* Shut up, you rascal you. 😁
What a great compilation
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!!!
This is from a video put out by Hal Leonard called "Classic Jazz Drummers: Swing and Beyond", available on DVD.
Great video...really shows the progression of Jazz music..
Sid is the man. Just can't get enough.
you got that right. He's the man who makes the band sound good. Check our how hip he makes the Benny Goodman band sound. ua-cam.com/users/results?search_query=sid+catlett+benny+goodman
I love that music
Buddy rich was a beast
Extraordinarios Maestros.un Abrazó a la Eternidad.
What a fun 20 minutes I just had.
Buddy Rich played matched grip a lot back in the '40s😂❤
2:35 Always sang and smiled like that. His trademark.. lol
Huub Janssen, absolutely the best at rhythmical and melodic jazz drumkit.
Nobody better....
Great collection thanks !
thank you ! i have played ith RHODA SCOTT in 1992 !
in terms of jazz content, paradoxically, the best number is the Cab Calloway one, with a wonderful Joanh Jones on trumpet , and incredible swing from Panama Francis and (I believe) Milt Hinton on bass. Then of course, Basie with Buddy de Franco, Clark Terry, Wardfell Gray and Gus Johnson, and Hampton
CC footage amazing! And matched grip Buddy. Wow.
Damn Joe Harris is razor sharp and has a vicious swing and attack!!!Damn cool solo...
Check out the video of him playing "It Don't Mean a Thing" with Sonny Rollins. So slick and precise.
The guy with the sax on the right behind buddy!
Não tenho palavras pra descrever o que acabo de ver. Gênios, gênios , gênios.
Obrigado, arrepiei aqui.
I love this
The irony of that opening quote from Buddy RIch, shame he didn't take his own advice.
It takes all types music accepts everyone. It doesn't care which is a beautiful thing.
your saying Buddy didn't make the band sound good ???
Buddy made the band sound good.
Chris Scott it was his band, he does what he wants.
it's a shame there's virtually no video on Mr.Chick Webb then people would see that he was simply the BEST!
Buddy Rich smokes Chick Webb 7 days a week and 6 on Sundays.
Buddy said he got his inspiration from Chick Webb.
Steve Percoco Another Buddy Rich fan who has no idea what he’s talking about. Buddy idolized Webb and Papa Jo Jones who was the father of modern drumming
Not too long ago I saw two short clips of Chick drumming but now I can't find them.. but they do exist
Steve Percoco Only ignorant, immature, musically illiterate, rhythmically challenged amateurs would dare to talk so stupidly about Chick Webb. Go play your kazoo.
Baby Lovett on drums. Basie once said he could play a fly if it lighted on a surface.
Drumming my fellow 'hitters of things' is not a competitive sport based on multiple opinions.. Drumming is drumming around the world and just as diverse.. No need to rate or judge.. Having favorites is a different thing but to each their own tastes.
the art of drumming is cerate a story that you the drummer hasn't heard before and make it compliment the rest of the band
That's Marie Bryant, by the way, dancing with Cab Calloway (12:52-14:30). Met her once in Los Angeles in the mid-1980s; she still had it. (Her footwork with Paul White to Duke Ellington's 'Bli-Blip' [1942] is worth a look.)
great little vid this. Thanks HL
Grandes MAESTROS
В 21ом...веке отсутствуют такие таланты. Есчо не родились.
Panama Francis - electrifying playing when the instrumental starts, with a unique Jump Blues/Bebop style. Clear winner for rhythmic feel. But Count Basie the best overall performance. And with Wardell Gray too!
Amazing ...
I think some of these " cats" were smokin sumptin.
To think.. That there are people who think, that you can recreate these sounds with electronics.
Wonderful!
Cab Calloway was doing the moonwalk in the early 30's. He called it 'The Buzz' Nothing is new!
Masters! All of them!
6:20 wtf did I just listen to? lol does make sense
and ..... the world was already modern!!!
Back in that day and era musicians had to utilize "choreography" to make the music "visual" for the audience.
This was a better, sweet world, what ever happened to us
We let the band members enter through the front door, not the kitchen
Será que eu sou o único Brasileiro que gosta desse tipo de música e não os lixos de hoje ?
brother eu sou brasileiro, meu sogro que me emprestou o vídeo também...somos raros mas existimos.
Buddy was an amazing drummer but, I agree, he was almost always the center of attention and he made sure of it... That was Buddy.. so, I agree, kind of a funny statement, coming from the Ham himself....lol
*QUE MARAVILHA ESSAS PESSOAS!*♥
os caras são foda.
Hola, para mí él siempre será Gene krupa. Y la mejor interpretación de batería té veré en mi bateria,de Shadows, no niego que actualmente también hay excelentes bateristas.
All great. Buddy playing Match grip. That's a first. He always plays traditional.
Evangelist Roger Mansour former Leslie West Vagrants Drummer
Kool vid!!! 🍻
now this was the real beat
from 0:30 till 0:40 Gene ist playing " Airdrums "...obviously they fitted that spot in later...0:48 till 0:55 he plays in real...
Wow I wish I could of been alive in that happy music era then. Today its just noise and crap and not music at all like this.
There are still incredible Musicians and BigBands bro! It’s just not in the charts anymore
Mr.Chick Webb ( The DADDY!!!) Buddy said it.
Buddy Rich is the best drummer ever
Humans can do marvelous things.
That's Betty Carter singing with Hampton's band!
Interesting to see Buddy Rich playing with matched grip 🤔
Cab Galloway, my word!!!
Gene and Buddy should give honor to who influenced them...CHICK WEBB. Btw..Who discovered singer Ella Fitzgerald.
Big Sid Catlett
Chick Webb was the greatest and influenced all the drummers who came after him...
Buddy Rich gave praise to Chick Webb on many occations, citing him as his biggest influence.
Big Sid Catlett....
there is Buddy Rich and then there is everybody else
Buddy Rich with Match Grip!!!!!
Just a look at the left hand will tell you, these are drummers.
BUDDY PLAYING MATCH GRIP!! HE ALWAYS PLAYED TRADITIONAL.
Nice catch!
00:40
11:54 He is definitely from the future
MmmmGood,, Mmmmmm, Rythym rules!
Buddy rich is a monster
rafa uribe Agreed.....but he was always against match grip but here he is using it.
@@calderdale6795 He was against it as a primary grip for Jazz drummers, and the Jazz drumset set up.
Whos’s the singer with Hampton, Betty Roche?
That's a young Betty Carter.
Check out Buddy using matched grip with the sticks.
Chick Webb was an Champ! Kent Vogel A.S.C.A.P WBD
GREAT!!!
They forgot about Western Swing
What happened to Rufus speedy Jones
Steve percoco look for the interview where your buddy called mr.webb the greatest drummer ever lived who do you think rich copied from?

Chick Webb was no BR.
Steve Percoco Johnny Dodds played clarinet, his younger brother, “Baby” Dodds played drums.
Those claps are rushing just a little bit, but still on tempo. I dont know if that can be allowed. Just kiding nice music
The drummer at 7:00 looks like John Legend
Who is the drummer at the end with Count Basie?
According to the video, it says it was Gus Johnson that was the featured drummer with the Count Basie Septet
people arguing man im tryna learn how to swing
11:18 ROCK ))
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ha ha...0:30...Airdrums...they 've had that Playback shit already...
Holy crap Buddy is god
una joya
Rufus speedy Jones just like buddy, why you didn't Rufus
Why you didn't mention Rufus speedy Jones

Buddy used to bang on it all. A bit from where it should be - feeling!
Where's Sid Catlett, Papa Jo Jones, Roy Haynes, Kenny Clarke, Baby Dodds? Ridiculous
Sid Catlett was the second drummer they showed after Krupa.
Max Roach, Barett Deems?
This video is only 20 minutes of a 70 minute video entitled "Classic Jazz Drummers: Swing Era and Beyond." It includes plenty more drummers, like Kenny Clarke, Philly Joe Jones, and others.
Baby Lovett
Max Roach is the tops
I feel a little bit of Cuphead's songs in some songs
Lars ulrich??? 😭😭😭
Count Basie remind me of Carl Winslow..
🥀🌱💙😀
They forgot the lady drummers
Non as good as Gene Krupa !
Krupa is BS.
What do you even mean?
Benny Goodman said he would want Gene Krupa in his band before any other drummer. That's all anyone needs to know about Krupa as a musician.
