Buddy Rich Literally Playing the Theater!!!!!(Duel Drum Solo w/ Animal)
Ойын-сауық
This is a classic drum-off between the great Buddy Rich and Animal.
Buddy Rich's talents cause Animal's jaw to drop open, before he throws a drum at Buddy's head in a fit of rage.
This is one of the best Sesame Street sketches of all-time. Displayed are examples of "Rudiment Techniques" combined with great showmanship, passion and a love for creating sound.
Animal shows how overplaying can annoy the other musicians in the band (and the audience). The singer Rita Moreno, is not impressed with Animal's hilariously out-of-control playing during the song, "Fever." When an aggravated Rita tells Animal to chill, he decides to play in an even louder and out of control manner.
Attributes that Bands/Musicians Seek in a Drummer:
- A drummer with reliably consistant tempo
- A drummer who places more importance on the song than on drum solos
- A musician who places more importance on "feel" than on showing off technical ability
- Many professional drummers prefer to play simply and economically, even though they are fully capable of playing much more complex patterns.
- A band member who does NOT attempt to overpower the other musicians' parts with sheer volume
- An appropriately dynamic musician
- A musician who understands song structure
** Ringo Starr of "The Beatles" is a good example of an understated drummer who always played the drums so that they supported the song structure, which is how percussion should be included; everyone could catch a groove or a beat from the drummer but usually it starts with a progression or melody. As drummers, we should be able to write in unique accents and have the bassist and guitarist implement similar changes.

We didn’t have a ton of money growing up, but my parents managed to buy me a Ludwig Supraphonic for Christmas one year. I never thought much of the brand because I sort of assumed it wasn’t a “premium” brand. I remember seeing this episode of the Muppets and thinking, “holy s**t, I’m playing the same brand as Buddy Rich”.
When Animal gives up at the end, his stare at Buddy is hilarious 😂

Animal’s eyes look like Mick Fleetwood’s.
Buddy and Neil are doing this every day for the rest of eternity on that big stage in the sky.

Yeah it’s pretty wild Trevor. For sure. I’ve only seen him use traditional grip before this. Do you play both?
My parents bought me a Ludwig set like that when I was 12 years old. White Marine Pearl. Beautiful.
I didn’t know Buddy Rich did a drum challenge with Animal! How great is that? And that little funny, “When I play a theater, I really play the theater!” Superb and inspirational!

Admirably - and in spite of being a famous celebrity himself - Animal was humble enough to accept defeat. That shows True character. ...But even if he Hadn't been so gracious? Hey - he's only human :)

And a thousand young drummers were born this day !!

Yeah Buddy Rich ain't bad either, he could've worked on implementing primal screams.😂
GREAT! I saw this many years ago
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
it's a TIE!
Animal finally had to give up. Not sure if I've ever seen a jealous puppet before 😮
Though I don't see it mentioned,I believe the drummer for"Animal" is Ed Shaughnessy
Ain't nobody as Animal as Buddy Rich. Keith Moon told me so.
Too bad they cut off the end. Animal was so upset, he picked up his bass drum and threw it at Buddy and it landed around his head. The final line was " Talk about a sore winner!" Classic.

I shared the original with my elementary school in Brooklyn, close to where he lived, and they loved it. New generation of buddy fans in hometown. 😅
It occurs to me, I don't think I've ever seen him play actual music with other musicians. Just these solos.

Dude, look around on the internet. He had his on Big Band. He had all the best young players back in the day. 60's 70's and 80's. He demanded perfection from all of his players. His bands were Great! Listen to his albums on line. He was the greatest fill drummer of all time! He could play a pretty good solo too. LOL
Holy shit!!! When casually scrolling through literally infinite shit....it is a welcome treat to find a god doing what a god does
The most progressive drummer ever Influence for every drummer !
Classic 👍🏻

Animal was the only thing on this Earth that defeated Buddy Rich during a drum solo....... because of his primal scream.

So true! And Buddy Rich wasn’t a sore loser either. He and Animal were still friends years after the drum-off. They would eat small muppet fruits together and just laugh and laugh. What a good friendship. 🤓🤣🤣

So true Mike! Good to have you here man. What’s your top 5 percussionists of all time?
Zen
Listen to The Jimi Hendrix Experience album “Axis: Bold As Love” or “Live at Monterrey” to hear Mitchell and Hendrix playing beautifully off of each other. The drum parts would be over the top in many other styles of music, but they mesh perfectly with Jimi’s improvisational guitar style and direction while soloing. Mitch Mitchell effectively combined improvisational jazz techniques with rock and blues guitar-oriented song structures but kept his personal flare and that was his signature sound
He was definitely the best drummer 🥁, but coming 2nd to animal was no mean feat 😅
Buddy playing match grip?
“Which hole”?, said the basement
Mitch Mitchell of "The Jimi Hendrix Experience" is one of the great examples of a drummer who played more improvisational while still maintaining a flowing groove. His creative and dynamic jazz fusion style relied more on interplay between the guitar and drums than is typical of most music. This is not so much a style as a way to truly play the drums!!!!

Many ppl don't realize how great a drummer Mitch was because there was this guy called Jimmy Hendrix on stage
I’ll bet that was Vinnie C on drums -
Animal, 2nd best drummer of all time! Lol

I think that Buddy was the greatest drummer ever until Dylan Elise came along.
