On the original video at about 4:29 when he makes a face ( grimace) is when he was having a heart attack. Here is about 8:00. He finished the solo took a bow, then went to the hospital.
I'm a 65 year old drum teacher at School of Rock. No matter how many times I've seen this video, I am stunned at the speed and precision he plays with. I could only dream about being able to play at that level on my best day. Let alone while having a heart attack. Every drummer knows why this solo is called impossible.
I use to play the drums back in the day. And I also have seen this video numerous times & it also amazes me each time I've seen it. To me Buddy Rich was the best drummer ever. And I was never really big on the big band stuff, but I loved to watch him play. I used to see him on Johnny Carson , always great .
When Neil first saw this, he knew how much work, time and effort would be needed to get there, he dedicated his life to it, RIP
His speed is insane! What a player.
I believe the heart attack actually happened about around the 2 minute time stamp during the solo. He continued on in his 3 piece suit, until he felt the solo was finished.
I'm 73 but back when I was in my late 20's Buddy came and played at a local theater in my small home town of Chatham,Ontario...it was one of the most spectacular live shows I've ever seen...the band was about 12 or 13 guys and they were just smokin' !!
Great request Dave!
Buddy was a monster and legendary drummer he set the bar very high. Great piece of music and drum showcase. Very enjoyable.
I’m a 61 year old professional drummer and drum teacher and I had the privilege of seeing Buddy in 1980 in London. He continues to inspire me through his speed and artistry; yes he was having a heart attack here.
Nice to see Buddy Rich getting some love. Gen Krupa was another one of the greats.
I am 53, and I remember Buddy Rich being on television shows (variety shows and the tonight show, and such) and playing and he was so prevelant back then that this seemed like a normal thing.
Whenever Buddy was asked about reading music he would answer, "I don't read music", not, I can't read music. Before he had his own band he played for other bands; he would have had to be able to read.
I loved Buddy. I played drums in high school and he was a hero. ❤
I felt I could have had a cardiac arrest, I was so breathlessly glued to the screen, as I am any chance I can see the great artist at play. He was most generous for such a legend. I saw him play at a local festival in the park here in Charlotte, where people were sitting, walking, and up on nearby Hippie Hill, toking and smooching. I went through a drummer phase, and knew enough not to miss him...and Lord, was I ever rewarded! You saw him! You can land planes on those lips, but his wife only lands kisses. And good for her! Drummers need more love. So thanks again for this American treasure. He is a force of Nature. A thunderstorm. He's just hurling lightning.
Saw him twice in the 80s from a matter of feet from stage and got his autograph
He's making some facial grimaces that show he is in some kind of pain.
I saw this tour in Long Beach Ca. It was amazing to see 2 living legends in the same show. The voice wasn’t there the whole time this was in the mid 80’s. But when it was it was FANTASTIC. R.I.P.
Great reaction to a great drummer. Before my dad died he was one of my dad's favorites. My dad even had one of his cd's. 😀😃😄😁😊
When you watch this and Neil at Frankfurt you can see how much Neil emulated Buddy
Wow! I grew up seeing Buddy Rich on TV from time to time. I was studying classical piano and was ignorant, arrogant, and naïve: I thought drummers were people who weren't smart enough to read music. Sixty years later, I am watching this video and am blown away by the mastery! I could NEVER have played drums, let alone with this level of nuance, precision, and velocity. Glad I second-guessed myself tonight and clicked "play" for a video I would normally have skipped.
Drum virtuosos are not percussionists but musicians. For them, the drums are a musical instrument (not simple rhythm or tempo boxes) in their own right, just like a piano or a guitar. This is how we recognize the greats. BUDDY RICH, BILL BRUFORD, IAN PAICE, NEIL PEART, JOHN BONHAM, DAVE GROHL (to name just a few) make “music” with their drums. Thanks.
This performance is so spectacular! I have watched this several times in the last few years but it never ceases to amaze me. I had never seen this enhanced version and it is bueatiful. Buddy Rich has been an inspiration to countless drumers. He was one of Neil Peart's major influences. You really need to react to Neil Peart playing "Cotton Tail" with the Buddy Rich Band at a tribute concert for Buddy Rich. Neil helped with that tribute and has also put together a tribute album to celebrate Buddy's life and influence on the drumming world called "Burning With Buddy". Neil does an amazing solo in the middle of "Cotton Tail". Neil incorporated so many differnt styles in his playing and actually took lessions in the 1990s because he was always striving to improve. During Neil's solo performance you can see some of the band members that toured extensively with Buddy smiling at what Neil is playing and I am sure they saw the strong influence. There is a lot of Jazz and Big Band influence in Rush's music.
In 1980, my university jazz club put on a Buddy Rich gig in the UK. We had to make sure there was a pot of fresh tea during the break. His big solos at the end of each set were unbelievable and his band really had to be on their toes as he would shout the page number of each piece, give the band an intro , and heaven help any band member who wasn't on the right page after four bars. Total legend.
the greatest drummer ever !
The 'other' master drummer from that time was Louis Belson, he and Buddy were really at the top of their game. There is a drum battle between them on Johnny Carson Show, it is mind boggling! Check it out.
This music is from "West side story"...awesome performance! This man literally played his Heart out...Ty Nick for sharing this demonstration of awesomeness!
Hey Nick, I started playing drums at 6 y/o (in the 70’s) and I was a huge fan of Buddy Rich and his contemporary, Louis Bellson (equally talented drummer, arranger and the first person to play double bass drums). My parents brought me to see him play live twice near our home in Massachusetts when I was a kid. When I saw him playing at a small jazz club in Beverly MA, he went outside to smoke during a break and my father asked if I wanted to go meet him. Of course I said yes and when we went outside, my father introduced himself to Buddy and said that I was his son Neal and that I was a drummer and a big fan. Buddy, looking annoyed and uninterested, shook my hand hand quickly and said hello and then went back to talking to his friend (if you’ve heard stories about how much of an a-hole he was, it makes perfect sense). A couple years later, I met Louis Bellson and he was the complete opposite…when I said I was a big fan, a drummer and that I had one of his records, he shook my hand and said “That’s great, man, keep on drumming”.
The Buddy Rich Orchestra is still going strong. Buddy's daughter (Cathy) is in charge of Buddy's legacy and fortunately she married a very talented drummer (Greg Potter). They live in Chicago and regularly play there....as well as Los Angeles, London etc. I think u guys are in Canada...if you are inspired....go see the BRO! To hear these charts live, with a full orchestra is not only a treat...but also a chance to see this music before it fades away into obscurity.
We live in Colorado and luckily have one of the most active Jazz scenes in the country here in Denver. Thanks for the info Jason!
Amazing❤
He was the greatest...Keith Moon, Ginger Baker, Elvin Jones (John Coltrane Quartet) and Neil Peart were his biggest fans. On the liner notes to a " Jazz Icons" concert DVD, his daughter said the best B-day present was when Dad took her on tour for her 17th, 1 year before his death.. " Before that, I hated Jazz because it kept him away from us so much. But on that tour, I finally REALLY got to know my dad, his craft, and why so many people loved him. ."
The show must go on!
Born to do this.
With Buddy, it was hard to tell because he constantly made face while he played.
Amazing Band!
65 years old. Crazy.
That is true dedication to one's craft. I first saw Buddy Rich on an episode of The Tonight Show and was blown away. It's no surprise that he was an inspiration to a whole generation of drummers today. We probably won't see his like again anytime soon.
I am Buddy Ritch , when I fly off the handle!
These great drummers, sometimes they don't seem human. The speed but even more, the stamina
One of the best drummer of all time. Phil Collins was huge fan.
Thanks @Dave!
Magnificent
From one Dave to another, thank you. I've seen this video numerous times & it's always amazing each time. But i didn't know about the heart attack, that's just crazy.
Nick, i said in the comments yesterday for Roundabout's marathon that i used to play the drums back in the day & Keith Moon was in my top three rock drummers. Neil Peart & John Bonham were the othe two of course. But imo, Buddy Rich was the best. I used to catch him on Johnny Carson & he would just blow me away. I'm not even into the big band stuff that much, but man, i love to watch him play.
Thanks again Dave & Nick
I believe Buddy was Neil Peart's idol, and now I just heard you say it : )
Throwing this out. There's another video on UA-cam. He's younger and not having a heart attack. Buddy Rich-Live at the Hague. And it's even more unreal. Also, Buddy had a drum battle with Animal. My first exposure to him, but my dad was a big fan
There' are videos when Buddy is even older than this and are far superior to the Hague concert.
@javlohudzlin4829 hey thanks. I'll look for those too.
neil peart buddy rich tribute-Buddy was Neil's hero and said he always had perfect timing!
An inspiration for so many drummers, including me! I'll have to introduce you to Max Roach as well. Little bit of rivalry between Buddy and Max.
Yes, Max was a beast also. I used to like the battles Buddy and Ed Shaughnessy did on The Tonight Show.
Ty brother Nick...
Saw Buddy Rich with the Buddy Rich Big Band at the Valley Forge Music Fair in 1983 I believe.
Sarah Vaugh was the second set
Tony Bennet was the third set.
Both the second set and third set utilized Buddy Rich's Big Band without Buddy Rich. Ed Shaughnessy (Doc Severinsen Big Band) was the sit in drummer.
Carl Palmer was friends with Buddy.
a great ! Neal Peart's fav !
Thank you Nick, Buddy has always been a favorite. One of these days I'll get to a Buddy marathon and maybe include the Animal Muppets drum battle. Funny you brought that up because I just watched those Muppet episodes couple days ago with Buddy, Rita Moreno and Harry Belafonte. They are hilarious and would be a cool change of pace. Buddy was a teenage Mel Brooks drum teacher.
I think Jim Henson based Animal from Keith Moon. I remember reading that somewhere. I could be wrong.
Oscar was AMAZING!!!! My GOAT on the piano.
And in a suit with bowtie! How he wasn't dripping in sweat is beyond me.
My favorite drummer of all time and Gene Krupa was his rival..watch a video of their drum off
Don't forget Max Roach!
@@greybeard2280 I have Max Roach records!
The Godfather of drumming. The OG. So good. Nice choice Dave and reaction Nick. A1 stuff👍Adrian Belew doesn't read music either and he's pretty good.
Aprendiendo un poco aunque no caso una del idioma 👍💪🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Carl Palmer puede tocar todo eso. Grande Buddy,.
My second favorite drum solo next to Neil Peart, live in Frankfurt
Thanks a lot for doing this in english. The argentinian music deserves to be known in the world.
And you are doing a great work!
As Argentinian, 68YO, I think that the prog music of those years is at the same level as the english bands. Not objective, of course, but not that far.....
Carl Palmer
West side story?
Nick, did you know that Neil Peart is the drummer they asked to do a tribute concert to Buddy Rich? Part of the reason is because Neil was the only drummer who could match Buddy Rich's speed and precision. Look it up on UA-cam. In the concert Neil also added his own signature of course, but really captured the essence. Like I said, no other drummer was able to check all the boxes needed. There are fast rock drummers and such out there, but Neil was the only one who could do multiple genres (especially jazz) and really understood Buddy Rich as well.
They had other drummers perform at tribute concerts before and after Neil. NOTHING to do with matching Buddy's speed and precision.
He didn't start until he was 33
Guess who Neil Peart looked up to
Listen to Heat Above by Greta Van Fleet if you haven’t already, and do a reaction video.
The top rock drummers can’t do this. Neil Peart couldn’t do this. Danny Carey can’t do this.
modern day Samson didnt practice never took lessons or read music I worked with guys from his band that told me all he first hand accounts of the GOAT Buddy Rich
Neal Peart was highly influenced by Rich! He was probably the GOAT!!
The great Buddy Rich was 2nd to absolutely no one, he was and always will be the goat of all drummers, bottom line.
B-
He's okay but the drummer guy from the Monkeys could smoke him
Yeaaahh, step away from the gummies.

Buddy wouldn't play every genre...Buddy hated country music. Hated it!
@@Dave-hb7lx The country music on his radar isn't like the new country that followed Billy Ray Cyrus. It was CUNTREE. (That, is almost obscene thar) It was hillbilly music to Buddy.
Anyhooo there is a Johnny Carson show where he drops that bomb. On the YT time machine. Circa 1974 or there abouts. It did create a kerfuffle soon after.
None of The Beatles can.
