Ronnie Verrell was the drummer behind Animal (and was one of Buddy rich's all time favourite drummers) he started with the Ted heath orchestra, and as well as the muppets (Jack parnell 's band were the studios in house band) also performed with the likes of Nat King Cole, Tom Jones and Shirley bassey) This really was two artists who respected each other demonstrating their craft.

And it's really lovely how Ronnie ''humbles'' himself when doing Animal's drumming to give that stomping caverman feel and simplicity most of the time (letting slip little snips of YOUCH! THAT'S WOW!) and enjoyed staying ''in character''. What made these guys so special was their never losing their love of organic natural HUMAN rhythm, and staying away from technical dry academic boring stuff like many of the modern jjazz lot or progh/metal lot. Still playing for their teacher those guys! lol. They mostly could all read to save timemin studios or when arranging for band leading, but beyond that, they kept it human and organic. Beatiful work!

If you don’t know who or what I’m talking about, search up full bodied muppet characters. These guys can blink, move their pupils, obviously move their mouth, it’s amazing how much spirit and personality they give with the movement of some fingers. This is why I love the muppets!

Well,after we get set up and we were auditioning for Rich,just every virtuoso he was hyper critical of our technique. He did not have a single good word to say. Now I have been yelled at by teachers and conducted and even slapped and punched. I had one from Germany who was always hitting me hard with his oversized baton. Finally the best drummer in the Corp smarted off and made the remark,"You were great in you time,but now you are an old man. Buddy was a real skinny man. Buddy did not say a word. He run to the caddy and pulled out his whole kit. While he set in up he was cursing us saying ," so you want me to play drums with you!" He sat down,counted on his sticks and played us into to the ground where we were so tired that we could not play any more. Buddy Rich was for real and the greatest drummer I ever played with.

Would that we could have seen a battle 'twixt Animal and one of Buddy's students - Neil Peart, by name. Likely woulda been a lot of fun. RIP Neil - You're missed by millions.

There are few television programs that showcased a special quality, reaching out to their audiences to entertain them in their own way. The Muppet Show and The Carol Burnett Show are two fine examples. Pure entertainment. You get the feeling that the special guests come on for a visit, but by the time they leave they're just part of the family.

I love Animal drum-offs! I loved the one he had with Dave Grohl.
@thejollyjoker187 Жыл бұрын
Grohl is not a drummer. He is a singer / songwriter / celebrity that cashes in on Cobain's genius, and, occasionally, tries to convince the world that he plays the drums.Enter Buddy Rich. He was a real drummer and showed everybody else how it's done. Grohl is just a C+ student that needs to take some extra lessons from Animal. Extremely overrated as a drummer.

Fun Buddy Rich story: BR would often cross his arms and refuse to play if Frank Sinatra counted the song in too slow.

Don’t know if this has been mentioned below , I have read several times that Animal is based on the Late Great Keith Moon. I look at Animals facial expressions and it’s pretty uncanny. Plus if you ever listen to Keith on albums you can ALWAYS hear his distinctive scream in the mix!
@sigep1452 жыл бұрын
Just watch old footage of Moon bouncing around while he plays. Animal is pretty much a carbon copy. Of course, there's also Animal's insatiable appetite for any & all types of drugs. However, I don't think Animal ever ran a dude over with his car. If he did, Kermit at least kept it out of the papers.
