I THINK this is the pinnacle of BUDDY's masterful execution, no one can reach it..

Best drummer ever.

Atop Mt. Olympus one finds the gods; prominently among them one will find Buddy Rich.

There are a lot of excellent drummers out there, but in my opinion, this guy is the "GOAT " WOW !!!

One of the Greatest Jazz Drummer that Inspired Me ❤ Bravo and Kudos Mr. Buddy Rich 👏🔥

I worked at Ronnie Scott's club in Soho in '82 and in March, Buddy played a week there playing two shows a night. I was the worst waiter that week cos all I wanted was to watch the band! I put myself on bandroom duty too so I could meet Mr Rich. We shook hands, talked a little and I shared a doob with him! I was incandescent with joy and letters home to NZ family and friends were ONLY about that week! Magical!

Incredible band, wonderful solo from Steve Marcus on Tenor, Buddy could light the city of LA with his energy 🥁🔥

Who would have had the joy of seeing this gentleman Buddy Rich play the drums live? 

I'm 71. Seen buddy rich twice... like seeing god with drumsticks 🇺🇸

I was lucky enough to see Buddy and his band in person, 6 times. Dad was a drummer, so we went whenever we could. One time we watched him from stage right. We watched his left hand and his right foot. For years, when other bands/drummers would play the same charts, it never sounded the same. It was only about 30 years ago, I realized, it was the left hand and all the fills. The speed, precision and his ease of effort makes watching him all that more enjoyable. There are good drummers out there, but not sure I'll ever see another that comes close to Mr. Rich.

The only show my Dad ever took me to see was Buddy, around '79-80. So happy he did. Not only that but it was the opening act that I truly remember more - Weather Report with Jaco!! Now that's a concert I will never forget. Thanks for the post.

If you watch closely you can see him sing the horn solos. No one played with so much energy and speed and made it look so effortless. For a guy that couldn’t read music it is amazing that he didn’t miss one single nuance of any piece he performed on, and that included West Side Story. Johnny Carson once asked him if it was going to be difficult to perform with the London Philharmonic because he couldn’t read music. His response was”maybe for them”. What a drummer!

@boomerguy9935

When he was introduced to Tommy Dorsey by the previous drummer, Tommy didn't want to talk to him because he knew Buddy couldn't read music. Buddy told Tommy to let him hear a song all the way through before he played it. Tommy reluctantly agreed. Buddy played it perfectly. I think Buddy eventually learned to read, but didn't need to because of his amazing memory. Likewise, he was pressured by other drummers to try double-bass drums. One night, Buddy was playing with doubles and was complimented by a guy on how much better he sounded. Buddy showed him the back side of the basses and there was only one foot pedal. Buddy didn't need the second bass drum, so he proved it so people would stop bugging him.. Another true story is, Buddy was playing handball with his brother, tripped and fell against a wall and broke his arm in three placed. He continued playing with his band for three months with a sling on his arm, and playing with the other. Gifted, stubborn and tough. Buddy was indeed a prodigy and I respect his speed, timing and skills. However, all his songs sound alike to me. I much prefer someone like Joe Morello or Papa Jo Jones. But, that's just me. Yes, I'm a jazz drummer and I've done a lot of homework over the last 60 years.

I recognize that 4th trumpet player. I played with him for several years with the Yellowstone Big Band, the in-resident band of the Yellowstone Jazz Festival, where he played lead. John Harbaugh, currently, Professor of trumpet at Central Washington.

This is an astounding 177 BPM. That's insane. Great band.

Simple kit is all a great drummer needs

Buddy Rich is just brutal, Steve Marcus was on fire, and the trombonist its bassicly a beast, only one question. WHY DOES THE TROMBONE NOT APEAR on all of the SOLO? This just got me so mad, as a brass player. But apart of that, a legend of theme and a legend drummer.

Excellent tune and Buddy as always is amazing. His time, as always, was stunning.

Buddy just went for it and so its was always exiting and breathtaking to see him play. The original ANIMAL on the drums!

Got to see Buddy Rich in the 70’s. Epic Drummer.

It's kind of interesting that that song doesn't swing, and has more of a straight feel to it, and that Buddy used matched grip as much as he did. He started, and ended the song that way. Having said that; what a drummer! There will never be another Buddy Rich.

Miss u Moe, Marty , Mike and Chris!!! Forever in my heart!!

For someone who kinda dissed rock styling, I’d say this Buddy was rockin this tune. He lays into a backbeat pretty nicely. I do like this tune a lot. I think the recorded version was slightly more laid back tempo and grooves just a little better. Still killing it. Hope I can jam like this at 65

Scal51 1 second ago I sort of got to see him! He played in Liverpool In December 1969, my dad was a jazz drummer, he and my mum went and she was 7 mths pregnant with me! I’m not boasting but I, when I’ve practiced a few weeks can play a few Buddy songs on my kit! I still have my dads copy of Busdys 1955 Ludwig Slingerhand kit! Oddly enough my Dad and Ringo Starr lived 5 mins from one another and Ringo had no kit…so it’s 90% accurate that the Mersey beat was created on this kit… They’ll never another Buddy Rich The GOAT of GOAT’s
