[@watsonira7]

Buddy was the best drummer ever... He was close to being one of the worst humans ever. I'd rather play with Sammy .

[@jackwilloughby239]

I was gonna open by saying: "Puts to Rest the idea that Buddy Rich was the Greatest Drummer Ever". Why? Musicality, Tone, Touch. The funny thing is Fred Astaire exhibits the same qualities in the vid of him drumming on the Drum Set he kept in his Bedroom. My friends that play drums always insisted that Ed O'Shaughnessy of the Tonight Show was a better drummer than Buddy. I'd pick Roy Haynes, Art Blakey, Louis Bellson and Elvin Jones. But the guys who played with Bill Evans? I forget which one it was, but for his audition with Bill he came in and sat down at the piano and played every one of Bill's pieces On the Piano! A drummer who can do that could obviously be working as a Pianist. Bill hired him on the Spot. Another great drummer: Joe Morrello started on violin at the age of 6 and debuted with the Boston Symphony Orchestra at age 9 playing the Mendelsohn Violin Concerto which he reprised a few years later, so it wasn't a One Off. He quit violin and switched to drums because he thought he could never be as good as Heifetz. Did Buddy ever play any other instrument? Could he dance or sing? Much like Paganini his Forte was Self Promotion.@@watsonira7
