Well, I think you are right !

And if you thought this is impressive enough guess again, Buddy suffered a heart attack midway through the solo and not only does he complete the solo and performance, he bows, leaves AND THEN he goes to the hospital.

I can’t stop laughing

I'd been playing for about two years. I was 17. I just about had bar chords covered. I was ready to pack it all in after hearing them. But Like you I'm sure I was just inspired to keep at it.

The greatest drummers in the world use traditional grip. It's easier for the dominant hand to Glide over the sub-dominant hand.

What grip do people normally use

@Bring me 1k Scrubscribers Matched grip (both hands holding the stick overhanded) is the more widely used technique in almost every style & genre of drumming. Traditional grip (underhanded grip with left hand, overhanded grip with right) is an older drumming technique, still popular among mainly Jazz drummers. It’s widely agreed that playing in traditional grip is more difficult, especially for people who first learned to play drums using Matched grip. Jazz drummers like to use Traditional grip I think mainly because it can feel more natural to capture the groove of a swing-rhythm in this position.

that's the best explanation i've heard so far @@nathangarber9644

@@nathangarber9644 When the drum kit was first put together in the late 1800's/early 1900's, the young kids learning drum kit were taught by military drummers, because that was the only drumming style in existence. Military players held the left stick that way in order to avoid lifting the elbow, which was both tiring over a long period, and made playing the drum awkward. The only way to drop the elbow was to completely change the grip to underhand, and because that was the way the military players were taught, they passed on this technique to the young kit players. Jazz was the prevailing style at the time, which used a lighter, bouncier feel in the left hand, so the grip wasn't changed. It was the advent of rock in the '60's that made many drummers change the grip to matched in order to play the loud back beats more forcefully, and with less effort. Some drummers play rock/fusion with the military grip, most notably Stewart Copeland, Carl Palmer, Narada Michael Walden, Charlie Watts, and Virgil Donati, but it's making life difficult for yourself. The military grip doesn't lend itself to situations where you are playing loud, forceful back beats.

He lost no "MPH off his fastball" by 65 or later. Strange you would write that when the evidence is quite the contrary. Buddy never slowed down, he only got better.

@@javlohudzlin4829check out videos from the 1950’s.

I know how you feel. A bassist friend and I went to see John Entwistle when we your age and we left wanting to cry, but eventually it drove me to get pretty good on bass. Keep it up, you'll get there.

am i the only one who thinks traditional grip is massively harder? or do i just suck at it lol

***** OK THANKS FOR THE CLARIFICATION

PrettBadBoyFranklin I think whatever you use the most is easiest. I started with traditional 50 years ago and it is still easier for me. Before you go much further I'd recommend looking at some of Mojo Mayer's tips, such as the one about Buddy's secret weapon. I like Mojo - he says you STILL have to practice, unlike Buddy who never practiced. Rehearse sure but practice? Nope.

Scotty Riles alright thanks. i started with matchgrip but in my high school drumline were required to do traditional, and while i can play different cadences and songs fine with match, my traditional grip still needs practice

Friendly reminder: sloppy drumming is good for groove.

@@kudosmucho6634 Not necessarily. For example, Ringo wasn't sloppy, but he had great groove, in his own way.

Haha I get it just like from whiplash

By today's standards it's quite sloppy. Some parts completely lose their tempo, some parts have the back beat lost while he's mashing around with no intention. All he has is dexterity.

you're soo right! left hand, left hand and right foot. Mr. Rich has credited his learning to tap dance as a kid for his foot independence, get his book, an eye opener.

It was actually well over 100 degrees.. Buddy hated the tux, but for his old friend Francis Albert, he acquiesced. After the job he was hospitalized for heat exhaustion. The band was his on the whole video with Sinatra's rhythm section backing up Frank. Pllease, young drummers. Watch Buddy wherever you can. There is a wealth of ideas spanning the history of jazz and big band drumming there for the losing..

Only person I've ever heard that has a left hand as good as Buddy's is Vinnie Colaiuta. Another absolute monster

the tux - that was what I noticed too - no idea how hot is was but the heat and restriction from it must have been uncomfortable - imagine just how much smoother this solo would have been if he was bangin a pair of shorts and a tee!

Doug Warren I actually don't think it matters. When I play in a suit and bowtie I don't even think about it. I just get lost in the music and don't really think about anything else. But every drummer is different :)

Picture me actually going back stage poring him a drink, from the audience, in a big cup, pouring the cup in his mouth, and after he’s finished, put a cigarette in his mouth, and light it.......... and he’s still playing like a drum god........ still playing the solo while I’m doing all of this cause he deserve it

The way he looks at the plates. When he double hits that "splash" i think it is idk. Gots me evt

After you become familiar with your set and rudiments laid out on it, cymbals are usually high so in reality the same smooth movements are the whole time but on that cymbal part his elbows come up and he becomes the wizard in fantasia for a moment lol

+Nicholas Adams 2:29 though

Dexter Stanley-Tauvao RIGHT!!!

+Nicholas Adams What made Buddy Rich the best jazz drummer of all time is because he didn't brag about it each time he took the stage. He just sat down at his drum set, and proved it by his technique and speed.

+Nicholas Adams You're a moron for typing 'PERIOD' after already including the actual punctuation mark. The way you intended it only makes sense in spoken context. MORON.

CooManTunes Is it really that big of a deal? No need to cry so hard. Saying "Period" in the context i was using it was as an Idiom, not for punctuation! I would have thought anyone who can read would have known that. Especially a grammar NAZI such as yourself. If you disagree with my opinion then say that. We're here to talk about Buddy Rich. Not listen to you whine like an infant.

+samuski36 Buddy Rich was 64 yrs old .at the Concert for Americas in 1982.- he was 69 yrs old when he died.. He also looks a lot older because it was 100+ degrees and he was wearing that tux. He was suffering from heat exhaustion and collapsed backstage and it's incredible that it didn't affect his playing ! You can see signs he was taking deep breaths, and shaking his head . a few times, like something was wrong.

Marathonracer The lengths people will go to do what they love!

+Marathonracer He does look a lot older. That is true. If you watch the Michael Parkinson interview he did not long before his death some years later, he looked fresher and younger looking. Wasn't under the physical stress he was here though of course.

That's a lot of dislikes you know. I think he was too mechanical.

Nope. He was a very technically proficient drummer, but he was an absolute asshole and a complete piece of shit. Always ran his mouth about how he was the greatest and talked down on other musicians all the time, abused women, etc. There were and are much better, more well-rounded drummers than him who were/are actually decent human beings.

Who or what is capable of analyzing this ? And even if such a transcript was created, who the hell is capable (to this day) of sitting down and playing it note for note with the exact accents and feel as Buddy Rich? ??

100%

The slow down at 3:20 is mind blowing

It's honestly frightening. Like...this should not be possible.

Analisis and transcript are worth nothing. Theory is absolute nonsense. What this deserves is a drummer who is good enough for repeating this masterpiece and even make it better.

He began to suffer from a heart attack midway through. Just as an added bonus

@@danwillreview No, he didn't have a heart attack during this or any other performance. During this performance he wasn't feeling that great to begin with on top of that the lights were closer than they needed to be making it much hotter than it would normally be so a doctor checked him out afterwards merely as a precaution.

@Winsociety Actually this was a fairly regular performance for him! Yet another reason he was so utterly amazing.

+comx427 Moral of the story? If you're a drummer, buy a tux and some stage lights, turn on a couple of electric heaters along with all the burners on the stove in the kitchen, make sure all the windows and doors are closed and hope for the best.

+Dre 93 Show a little respect.. You sound real stupid referring to the great Buddy Rich as "this old fart". He was 64 years old in this video which is middle age for a musician, but looked a lot older only because he was suffering form heat exhaustion and collapsed backstage. That's why you can see him taking deep breaths and shaking his head and blinking several times. 64 is only middle age for any musician. He was a black belt in karate - so much for being an "old fart". Farts come in all ages, dude . How old did you say you were ?

Ivantheterrible666 His IQ is in the double digits and neither of them is "9". But give him a break, because I have it on good authority that he has a special talent. He's known in the neighborhood for standing at a busy intersection and saying "WALK" ..."DON'T WALK"

Let's hear some double time swing

Steve Melling Well said! Love Ringo for who he is but this man is on a far superior level. Universally respected as THE GOAT.

Steve Melling Yes indeed. Ringo is famous of course but a normal drummer. Just good enough for simple Beatles songs. Drummers of course will talk with respect about him but deep in their heart they know he is the Eddie the Eagle of drumming.

Buddy Rich was leagues ahead of Ringo in technical ability, but Ringo did just the right amount of what was needed to work with the music. As we all know (and i've been guilty of it also) some drummers try to push that little too far within the tune and add beats that aren't required. The beats we don't play can be just as important as the ones we do.... That said, to me also, it's Buddy Rich, hands down!

Who listens to anything Rolling Stone has to say?

Steve Melling lots of people here have varied opinions snd even arguments. but ahat we can all agree on is rolling stone lists are complete rubbish

That’s the buddy rich single stroke roll. 20 times faster than anybody else’s doubles.
