Yeah. They were trying to write something for Rich's competitive ego. Aside from him being that way, nothing but admiration.

Ronnie Verrell was one of Britain’s greatest drummers, playing with the renowned orchestras of Syd Lawrence and Ted Heath, as well as the famed Jack Parnell Band. He was also one of its most in-demand session players, with credits including Petula Clark’s ‘Downtown’ and Tom Jones ‘It’s Not Unusual’. But most noteworthy, he was Animal, the drummer with hit TV sensation The Muppets Show. Yes, it was Verrell we heard battling it out with Buddy Rich on one of the most memorable episodes of that legendary show back in February1981. ;-) שלום

Just to make it clear, those who said Ronnie Verrell was playing animal are right. I have watched him so many times and can tell you that he was no mean soloist himself. When I shut my eyes and just listen I can pick out Ronnie immediately. One time in the early 1990s I was in the jazz section of a record shop in Southampton. A young lass came by and gingerly asked if I could give some names of tenor players to listen to. After giving her a few names I asked why she was interested and she said she was in our National Youth Jazz Orchestra and was playing nearby. I asked how it was going and she said well it was creepy on Sunday because this old guy was splaying after the NYJO and she felt uncomfortable. I said to her that is Ronnie Verrell who used to be with Ted Heath. She just looked blank so I told her he played the drums for Animal. She let out a gasp and said OMG I must get his autograph. I thought here's one of the all time great drummers who's only known as Animal's drummer Ironic isn't it.

@chooseyourpoison5105

In my opinion Ronnie Verrell as Animal actually had the harder drumming job, because he not only had to match Buddy Rich's level, but he had to do it in a drumming style that was completely different to his own, because he had to copy Animal's "insane attack" style of drumming whereas Rich got to play as he normally did. Both Rich and Verrell were masters in their own domain

Never seen Buddy Rich this calm before!!!

Buddy went from traditional grip to match grip back to traditional grip. I've watched this a few times and I still have no clue when he found the time to change back to traditional

Truth be told, I am completely amazed that Buddy Rich was able to keep a straight face during the entire show lol 😂

The drum battle of the century indeed.

This was awesome back in the late 70's-early 80's when I first saw it, and it's still awesome today!

Let it be known that Buddy Rich is the only animal that was able to tame THE Animal for at least a few seconds.

The great thing I take away from watching all these Buddy Rich performances is just how humble and gracious he was to the other performers. He was truly one of the greatest band leaders in ANY genre of all time. He always takes the opportunity to deflect praise into the other performances he shared stages with. So thankful to be able to watch these from before my time. The Muppet show battle is a favorite of my 4 y/o. What a legend.,.

Ronnie Verrell (not sure of the spelling) was a veteran drummer - ex Ted Heath - and was probably still with Syd Lawrence at the time of this show.

Animal* don’t go tagging an “s” on there. Show respect!

Buddy took him out back and showed him what it's like! 🤩

The face of Animal at the end of the battle - priceless. That made my day 😂 .

At a sprint speed

Epic!! I remember staying up just to watch this as a kid! Both my idol drummers lol

One of the most inspiring moments from my childhood seeing this aired for the first time.

RONNIE VERRELL played as Animal, the great !

Holy crap...this is awesome

There will never be another show like The Muppet show. Way ahead of its time.

The talent needed to pull this off as a muppet is off the scale. Great work from the puppet master!

Back in the days, when kids shows were so classy, that even their parents musicians were in awe of the virtuoso performance. No matter if you a re a child or a parent. You must have enjoyed this! Respect to Buddy and all other "old school" drummers. Also respect to the show that it pulled this off. I can only wonder, how this must have been for the audiences when aired for the first time. I am humbly thankful, that we have this thing called the Internet and this site, as well as the fortune in my life to understand the English language, so I was able to enjoy this piece of art. Thank you.

In its heyday, being asked to host The Muppet Show was the 1970s equivalent of Weird Al asking permission to satirize your song - it was a sign that you had truly made it. You could break a calculator counting the number of cameos in later Muppet projects.

Buddy Rich is arguably the greatest drummer of all time.

Its 1:54 at night, I'm 15 and watching animal have a drum battle with buddy rich. Life is good.

Man, kids entertainment sure has gone down hill…this was amazing!

Some people go as far as saying buddy rich is the father of metal drummers..

Hey, alls of you involved to set this up - you are just great! This is timeless, heritage of mankind.

Ah i remeber those times!I have 36 years and i was watching this when i have only 5!!!!It was my favorite show i watched every single day that and i remember this one!!!I laugh so much :)

What an Animal on drums also Buddy was a monster.

Buddy Rich was insane. I feel sorry for people who never saw him live. For 20 years he had the best lounge show in Vegas, the best reason to live there. A true legend of a drummer in an age when drummers didn’t become famous....not that they do now.

one of my all time favorite tv shows

Anytime anyone says that drums are easy to play, you remember this moment.

Did I just see buddy rich use matched grip?
