      With all due respect, I understand what people mean when they say 'God given talent', but anyone with the passion and patience to study, and practice 10s of thousands of hours, can achieve even better results than Buddy. God does give us the aforementioned passion and patience to achieve our goals however.

      Just like anything else, thousands of hours of practice won't give results if you do not have the right natural ability/talent. @@mwmiddleton

      @@chuckp1832 That's just not true. It's just the excuse that millions of jealous, lazy people use. Anyone who puts the heart, time, and practice into whatever they want to do can do it. Not that all of us can - I understand that we don't all have the luxury of time and supportive people to dedicate ourselves to what we wish we could do, but it has little to do with natural "god-given" talent. Oh, sure, some have more talent than others but it's not a big enough difference to prevent those with less talent from doing the same things. It's offensive to say that, to people who DO put in that time and dedication.

      There are literally hundreds of drummers more technically skilled and even musical than Rich was. That's just the way progress works, look at olympic athletes from his time period to now, technology and technique theory improve, competition drives everything to be better. Yes he was the greatest of his time, but it's a bit irrational to say he will always be the greatest of all time, he wasn't an alien.

      There is no drummer alive today who is more technical skilled than Buddy was. Buddy was already a master at age 12. And no... Virgil, Marco and such are not Jazz masters. Erskine, Cobham, Smith, Weckl are great but still three levels below where Buddy, Morello and Shawnessy checked out.

    I think perhaps this may be a composite recording of Buddy at different ages, Vitaphone recorded Keith- Orpheum vaudeville performers as well as other vaudeville units. His singing here sounds like a 7 or 8 year old voice, perhaps there is some tap dancing also, he was a marvelous tap dancer.

    Sounds like tap dancing, which Buddy also did. There's a video of Fred Astaire playing drums, and his drumming sounds like his dancing. If I drummed like I danced, it would sound like a drum set being thrown down a flight of stairs.

    I saw Buddy play back in the 70s when I was in college. So wonderful to hear this disc. I was wondering if there's any chance you might transfer it using a direct connection and not recording off the speaker. Would really help the sound, although I don't want to sound like I'm complaining, this is wonderful!
