I'd been playing for about two years. I was 17. I just about had bar chords covered. I was ready to pack it all in after hearing them. But Like you I'm sure I was just inspired to keep at it. I knew I was never going to be that good but it was still nicve to know what was possible. It expanded my horizons and did actually inspire me.

Buddie Rich came to my school one time to put on a clinic. I didn't know who he was at the time, and was thinking an hour of drums. One note and a bunch of banging. Two minutes into his presentation, and I saw how wrong I was. He started with a single cymbol on stage, and taught us how to build a sound. Then after that, he started adding different percussion elements showing how to color and shape it. The last 10 minutes was a solo that had us giving a standing ovation. It was one of the most memerable and enjoyable moments of my childhood. A master and a geeat.

@nathangarber96442 жыл бұрын
@Bring me 1k Scrubscribers Matched grip (both hands holding the stick overhanded) is the more widely used technique in almost every style & genre of drumming. Traditional grip (underhanded grip with left hand, overhanded grip with right) is an older drumming technique, still popular among mainly Jazz drummers. It’s widely agreed that playing in traditional grip is more difficult, especially for people who first learned to play drums using Matched grip. Jazz drummers like to use Traditional grip I think mainly because it can feel more natural to capture the groove of a swing-rhythm in this position.

@@nathangarber9644 When the drum kit was first put together in the late 1800's/early 1900's, the young kids learning drum kit were taught by military drummers, because that was the only drumming style in existence. Military players held the left stick that way in order to avoid lifting the elbow, which was both tiring over a long period, and made playing the drum awkward. The only way to drop the elbow was to completely change the grip to underhand, and because that was the way the military players were taught, they passed on this technique to the young kit players. Jazz was the prevailing style at the time, which used a lighter, bouncier feel in the left hand, so the grip wasn't changed. It was the advent of rock in the '60's that made many drummers change the grip to matched in order to play the loud back beats more forcefully, and with less effort. Some drummers play rock/fusion with the military grip, most notably Stewart Copeland, Carl Palmer, Narada Michael Walden, Charlie Watts, and Virgil Donati, but it's making life difficult for yourself. The military grip doesn't lend itself to situations where you are playing loud, forceful back beats.

What’s lost in his technical brilliance was the drive and ability to push that big band. A true marvel.

Stunning performance. A consummate big band percussion artist even at 65 years old when this was recorded. His vast repertoire spanning decades of creative music experience is legendary.

Greatest Jazz drummer of all time. PERIOD. In every way a drummer's ability can be measured. Speed, technique, power, etc... People are quick to forget about Buddy Rich because he wasn't the drummer for a huge rock band.

+Nicholas Adams What made Buddy Rich the best jazz drummer of all time is because he didn't brag about it each time he took the stage. He just sat down at his drum set, and proved it by his technique and speed.

+Nicholas Adams You're a moron for typing 'PERIOD' after already including the actual punctuation mark. The way you intended it only makes sense in spoken context. MORON.

CooManTunes Is it really that big of a deal? No need to cry so hard. Saying "Period" in the context i was using it was as an Idiom, not for punctuation! I would have thought anyone who can read would have known that. Especially a grammar NAZI such as yourself. If you disagree with my opinion then say that. We're here to talk about Buddy Rich. Not listen to you whine like an infant.

I think there are some people who don't like Buddy Rich because this solo stuff is all they've seen and they get the impression that all he did was play fast and furious. The truth is, Buddy largely played in service to his band when he wasn't doing solos. He could play soft and mellow just as well as he could do stuff like this. He didn't overpower the other musicians in his band and would only break out the solos when the time called for it.

+Dre 93 Show a little respect.. You sound real stupid referring to the great Buddy Rich as "this old fart". He was 64 years old in this video which is middle age for a musician, but looked a lot older only because he was suffering form heat exhaustion and collapsed backstage. That's why you can see him taking deep breaths and shaking his head and blinking several times. 64 is only middle age for any musician. He was a black belt in karate - so much for being an "old fart". Farts come in all ages, dude . How old did you say you were ?
