Funny story about this guy. My Uncle once went to see this guy at some point. He was very impressed. When he snuck to the backstage door where other fans were gathering he waited for a chance to meet Buddy and get his autograph, totally unaware of what the guy was like in real life. After about a half an hour he comes out to the awes of everyone. My Uncle makes his way towards Buddy as he comes out when suddenly the man comes careening outside in a fit of rage yelling "DON'T PUSH!!!!" He shoves everyone of his shocked admirers out of his way and moves past my Uncle who had moments before.... just changed his mind about approaching the man lol.

[@cvn6555]

It is said that one should never meet their heroes. His single minded pursuit of being the greatest drummer ever and dedication to perfecting and advancing his craft ended up with him being a miserable, volatile perfectionist. Probably not a lot of easy-going nice guys get remembered though.

[@geuros]

I have a different story about different man. Among pianists recognized as the greatest pianist to ever live, a bit introverted but with a big heart. Helped so many people in tough times, never forgot his country and his people even after he left the country for good, even after his music was banned there. Didn't talk too much but he is one of those supertalents who was just genuinely a good person. His name was Sergey Vasilievich Rachmaninov. Fun fact, when they asked Sergey's friend and another legendary pianist Arthur Rubinstein who was, according to his opinion, the greatest pianist of their time, he said "Vladimir Horowitz". They followed "What about Rachmaninov?" to which Rubinstein replied "Rachmaninov is not a pianist, Rachmaninov is a god."

My son saw Buddy in concert when he was 16...had front row seats and back stage pass with his music professor friend . He talked quite a while in Buddy's dressing room and Buddy signed a message and signature on his snare drum head he took. He's now 52 and made a great memory. 🥁

I love how Buddy has videos where he famously criticizes guys that play match grip. But then most of his most iconic solos, he changes from traditional to matched.

[@BullToTheShit]

> *"most of his most iconic solos, he changes from traditional to matched"* Mostly? Actually it's pretty rare for him to change to match grip. But there's something you missed. At 0:51 he flips the sticks over and is holding the sticks backwards with the thick ends out. Why is he doing this? He's doing it because of the *"style"* of the song. In the Big Band era, songs that have the Duke Ellington "Jungle Style", drummers used a lot of *toms* (especially the *floor toms* ). Because of this, he (and every other Big Band drummer) held the sticks in a way that gives the toms a louder/bassier sound: backwards. And he's playing the Floor Toms the way he would play tympani drums: match Grip. (Also, notice that once he flips the sticks over, he is no longer playing any double-stroke rudiments. And because he rarely plays in this backwards/match-grip style, he's a little sloppy playing the crossover fills on the snare & floor tom at 1:12)

[@HonkerinoXD]

@@BullToTheShit I'm not gonna read that but thank you or why?

[@kaitotatsuya]

I'm pretty sure he's mad cause Most of the Kids back then refuse to learn the traditional grip and always prefer the matched grip since it was easier to learn. Not a lot of people know this, But once you learned the proper way to hold a traditional grip, you can play almost anything.

I was introduced to Buddy Rich in 1972, while I was playing clubs. He was less than courteous. His bass player at the time was Paul Conjello. Paul had some sympathy towards me. We played a bit together after that. We performed Rock!

[@arymonem]

People with extreme success (ie being best at what they do) almost never get to that point being nice or courteous.

[@Russ.Murphy]

@@arymonem Hi Ary! I'm not sure about that. When I met Louie Belson, he was really nice. Sam Ulano treated everyone like family. Everyone used to complain about Ginger Baker's temper; but when I met him at Manny's in New York, he treated me very respectfully. And, when I sat down and spoke with Carmine Appice, he treated me as a friend, even though it was the first time we met. Some people are just down to Earth. They don't let success inflate their egos. Pat Benetar and Neil Giraldo are really down to Earth and well-balanced. I think they qualify as superstars. Jon Bonjovi and his wife volunteer at soup kitchens. They raise money and donate their own money to feed people. I think if you look at the Music World, you'll see a cross section of society. The media focuses on sensationalism, not benevolence.

[@arymonem]

@@Russ.Murphy well, those are some great examples and you have some personal experiences. Thanks for sharing that.

[@Russ.Murphy]

@@arymonem Hi Ary! I was lucky enough that I grew up in a time and place where live music was in high demand. Though Manhattan was a focal point for music, Most of the the clubs were in suburban New Jersey and Upstate New York. Club capacity ranged from 400 to 2000 persons. The average capacity was about 800 persons. Usually, the deal with the club management was the band received the cover charge for the evening; which was usually $4.00 a person. The bands had to work hard at marketing themselves. They had to play dance music. And, they needed to keep their material current. Meeting people in the audience, shaking hands, engaging in social conversation was as important as the quality of your music. Every band published calendars of where and when they would be performing. Some bands had mailing lists and paid the costs. Others just handed them out to the club audiences, and posted them on bulletin boards. Your fan base and popularity grew from word of mouth, friends telling other friends about you. It was easy to make a weeks worth of money playing 3 sets, 3 nights a week. The young musicians of today aren't as lucky. Current club capacities are about a quarter of the size. A lot of bands actually lose money by performing.

This clip was from an August, 1965 broadcast of the program "Harry James and His Music Makers" which was produced and presented by WGN-TV in Chicago.

Buddy rich match grip?? Parallel universe

[@cahookie901]

Anima Enema gripping both sticks with your palms like he is in this video. Look up literally any other footage of buddy and you will see him using traditional grip

did you notice that he flipped both sticks too? Playing with the thick end out, and using match grip, bizarre!

[@cahookie901]

Henry Cullen I did, but I feel like if buddy were to play match then it would have to be like that in order to get some boom boom. Either that or someone said he couldnt play as well with match and buddy being a lil tempermental buddy probably did it to prove a point

[@samswank]

I noticed that immediately. I seem to remember him doing a clinic or something talking about how traditional grip was the only way and matched was dumb. No matter, the guy could probably use his feet if he wanted to.

Buddy is the best of the best. Funny here, because the band screwed up by coming in at the wrong time during the approaching end of Buddy's solo. A wonderful drum solo. More musical than many of the other ones I have heard. Saw the man in a school gymnasium in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada about 3 or so years before he died. We sat and listened to this barber shop quartet doing their stuff but it went on for too long. Obviously Buddy was late for the show. It got to the point where the audience was mumbling about it being a no show. Anyway, Buddy did show up and man, he was bombed on booze or something as he staggered up to the stage. We thought it was going to be an embarrassment. His drum kit was so small, too. I first thought it belonged to the school band and that they would be removing them to bring out the real Buddy Rich drums. Couldn't be, I thought. (I was seeing them from more of a side on view, so I couldn't see the BR on the big bass drum.) But no, it was his drum kit. Anyway, when he sat on the stool and started playing, it was mind blowing. He put on a great show. When he did a solo, it was overwhelming and deafening. I wasn't too far from him. The greatest drummer to have ever lived. Will never forget.

I'm just as relaxed, comfortable, and confident as Buddy is...when I'm eating a sandwich:)

[@lettucememe3390]

You’re a legend at eating sandwich’s mate….own it 🤘

[@fredericogobbi]

Oh Man!!! and he did all this in a suit, tie and dress shoes... and without messing up his hair. Monster🥁

[@PotHead98]

Playing like that in a suit is absolutely ridiculous. And His timing is out of this world. You can see how much he influenced modern drumming.

[@Cheeso888]

The chick at the end looking back at the camera like, "Yeah, that's right!" Those few seconds look like something out of a Scorsese movie.
