@@juliosanchez95 It definitely has pretty substantial musicality, but you're right that it's partly an attempt at highlighting virtuosity and speed over the sort of carefully placed elements that both drummers are more than capable of. But, when you're soloing, you're not just filling and backing, you're the whole sound. Drummers can truly shine in the quality they introduce to a song when they switch up the beat or fill and change the character of the music, but when they're soloing they typically have to be the full sound. That's okay, though - sometimes that's warranted, and they know when it is, and that was definitely the point of a drum battle.

Yes Shaughnessy was underrated for sure. His talents were amazing but when your next buddy rich unfortunately it's no contest although like you say he did very well! The entire Tonight Show band was world-class musicians unappreciated in today's world. Doc Severinsen gray trumpet player and on and on. The thing that kills me is the kids today play covers very well to songs with with a cool modern drumming but when it comes to doing a solo they don't understand at all first of all there is no way to do it right holding the sticks with match grip. Also, do you think banging on 100 drums doing different things makes them a great soloist. They are good around the kids weren't playing a song but that's about it.

I had the pleasure of studying with Ed back in summer of 78 and he was a fountain of information. I learned more everyday from him that still sticks with me today. Weaker hand excercises, swing, time and feel, Indian rhythm. Just a an around great individual. Anyone that could hold that drum chair for 30 years on The Tonight Show had to cut the mustard 5 nights a week. Think about it, he had to back a different performance every night! R&B artists, Jazz, Rock, Country, Pop, you name it...Eddie Shaughnessy covered it all for 30 years! True he wasn't Buddy Rich, but he was a heck of a DRUMMER.

Pretty killer, until Johnny and Sammy (the puppies) went and sat down, while the "Big Dogs" got down, (tradin' 4's) kinda' like they did here.

What I like about this is that Ed just went for it and gave Buddy a battle! Great entertainment.

Ed Shaughnessy showed a lot of class and professionalism by using a BR style drum kit for this duel. Buddy Rich....the greatest drummer ever.... And one of Buddy's favorite drummers. Great stuff.

Joe Morello, Steve Gadd and countless others were as good. However, it's just that they weren't any better then Buddy Rich. It comes down to which style of drumming you prefer.

You ask any professional drummer (past or present) .... "Who's the Greatest Drummer of All Time?".. 99 out of 100 of them would probably say "Buddy Rich"

I'm a long time Neil Peart adherent and only learned of Buddy Rich 10 years ago and today I have learned that I was an incomplete human. ES is absolutely at the same level as Rich.

Ed was indeed great. But even he knew. King Buddy. Look at the ease of his crossover. Under-over. Just simply the best ever

No kidding. Wow!!! Seeing this for the very first time. Doesn’t get much better then these two going at it and having so much respect for one another. What a treat!!!

I remember in the fall of 1978 a high school classmate asking me if I watched the Tonight Show with the drum duel between Rich and Shaughnessy . I missed it then but I'm glad to have seen it on KZbin.

Amazing How I can love watching this so often while simultaneously feeling like throwing my own kit in the trash and breaking my hands.

Notice how tight Buddy’s drums are...especially his snare.

The snares are off, actually. He has it as a Tom, here.
