This performance of: HAWAIIAN WAR CHANT (Prince Leleiohoku of Hawai'i/arr. John Avery Noble/Tommy Dorsey) EMI Miller Catalog, ASCAP is astoundingly difficult to keep up, with even when using 5A or 5B hickories; and I favor the huge Vic Firth® Ralph Hardimon nylon-tip side-drum sticks from the Corpsmaster™ series on the kit.

If there's ever been anyone that has truly mastered their instrument of choice, it's Buddy. A true master. There will never be another. The person who turned me on to Buddy was none other than my mother. She had an old wooden crate full of old LPs in her bedroom closet and one day I went thru them. She was old school Country-Conway, Loretta, John Anderson, and Elvis. She Loved Elvis. Then I saw the Buddy Rich LP. I asked who it was? She said its a really good drummer-she loved hearing drums. I put it one and my life was changed forever....I was around 10 or 11 at the time.about 30 years ago. She had great taste!

It has nothing to do with the tone of the drum, either. You don't need to bash away for 20 minutes to tell a good drum.

I was lucky enough to see Buddy play 10 to 15 times. I was a Marine Corps Rudimental Drum & Bugle Corps drummer and a USMC Band Drummer. In my humble opinion Mr. Rich was the the best Musician ever to make the drum kit their instrument of choice.

Buddy was dead 3 months later. The greatest drummer to the end and never matched since.

if anyone, at a glance, stood out as the best on any instrument, it must be Buddy Rich.

Fantastic performance. The sure sign of greatness is when people can make something look easy when you know it's not, but he did look as if it took its toll on him at the end. Still he died a legend. God rest the great Buddy Rich.

Dana, do you know how long after this video was recorded (or how long before he died) he learned about his brain tumor?

BrianSokoloff According to Mel Torme's book about BR called "Traps, The Drum Wonder", it was about a week after he had finished taping this show and was out walking in Manhattan when his left arm started windmilling uncontrollably. He wasn't able to stop the arcing with his right hand, but it stopped soon thereafter. That evening, while in bed, he had another episode and called his close friend and fellow drummer, Freddy Gruber, who took him to Mount Sinai Hospital. After some testing over the next few days, the preliminary diagnosis was a brain tumor, but the tests were inconclusive. He then flew out to UCLA Medical Center where further tests were conclusive - he had three tumors growing in his brain. Always the cutup til the end, when he was in the OR and a nurse asked him if he was allergic to anything, he replied "Yeah. Country and Western music."

Thank you for that informative reply i often wondered if he played after that show.its ironic isn't it that the last track he ever played was a "golden oldie" because he was always so opposed to doing them, it should have been west side story etc, i really must get that book, thanks for posting anway

BigBill Lucas Haven't priced it lately, but I'll bet it's considerably higher than what I paid a number of years ago...if you can find it in print.

I saw Buddy in 1982. I could hear sounds and his hands were not where the sounds were coming from. Incredible.

Faster then the speed of sound travel! I saw him at London Ale House in Wildwood New Jersey in the 70s! "West side story" He did like 20 minutes and walked off, Maybe felt sick or something.. That said he is the best I have seen and I saw a lot growing up in between Philly and NY late 60s and 70s!

John Cooper, you are exactly right. I had the same experience watching him and wondering...where did THAT sound come from?

Lots of guys had fast hands but that LEFT hand of buddy's is LEGENDARY!!! Those of us who played AT the drums only imagined our left hand doing what Buddy did all the time.

Buddy Rich was simply insane on the drums. There are (and were) many excellent drummers but Buddy stands out as the hardest working and most exciting.

If you watch closely - he’s using the matched grip through the intro to make it easier to twist and face the floor tom, but when he faces the snare, he pivots the left stick to the traditional grip.
@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr28234 жыл бұрын
I thought traditional (and apparently we have more than one of those, news to me, a French and another one) was mainly for marching snare. It doesn't make much sense on a kit, imo. I know people who use it, but most flip back and forth between matched and traditional if they had any jazz training.

Why? We have access to the internet, and thus, literally all of history's music free at our fingertips. And for the record, there's nothing wrong with a bit of variety. After this I'm gonna listen to some '90s Ska Punk and then probably some Handel and Salieri, maybe some Foo Fighters, some 80s Japanese jazz fusion (Casiopea, domino line which has the single best bass guitar solo you will ever hear), some 60's Psychedelic rock and whatever else I want
