In 1972 I saw him at Disneyland. At the break, I was standing in a line behind a couple of his horn players and I said to them “it must be great playing with Buddy Rich.” They both laughed and launched into all of the problems. One thing they said was Buddy would never give them a song list, he would just start playing an intro and they would all frantically flip through the song book trying to figure out the song.

Standard operating procedure back in that time. If you didn’t know the lead ins, you didn’t know the music. Really happy the culture of music has changed a bit, but I do sometimes wish standards were kept this high.

We saw him a couple of times in the 80s and, yeah, and we saw that. The show was great!

@modularcuriosity Жыл бұрын

I saw him at Disneyland around the same time. On one tune he played an intro and the band flipped through their book. Then Buddy switched up his intro and the whole band jumped to flip the page to a different song. I had no ide how he queued the songs.

Sometimes buddy would make a mistake and just if he didn't yell at anybody, then you knew it was him that made the mistake and then he would just restart. As far as I know, Basie was known for that always the same never really changed much, you know what the tune was going to be. Different dates Bay she did not use a setlist. For television he would have a set list but not in the exact order that would play. It was up to the assistant director and the TD to get two cameras on board based on the intro. Yes even they read music. I know there were some days that buddy dead where he would shout numbers out do the song numbers but I don't think it was that often. Typically mothman leaders then and now just shout out the number of the tune. Usually during the applause at the end of a tune. They might call out the next two or three. If you got a dancing crowd you had to do that.

In the 1960s, a letter began circulating amongst the top drummers of the day. It was addressed to "The World's Greatest Drummer" and it first arrived at the home of Gene Krupa. He thought "this can't be for me" and sent it to Woody Herman, who said the same thing. Woody forwarded it to Buddy Rich, who immediately thought "ah, this is for me" and opened the letter, which began "Dear Ringo..."

My favorite Buddy Rich story involves an old friend of mine who not only was a musician himself, but so was his brother and their dad. Their dad was a sax player who played in the number of bands including Buddy's and because Dad was a professional musician, it was understood that Dad slept during the day and unless the house was on fire you didn't wake him. Well, the phone rang one morning and my friend, who was all of about 12 (and a drummer as well) and the man on the other end of the phone asked for his dad, to which he was informed that his dad was sleeping; the man said "well go wake him up and tell him Buddy, Buddy Rich is on the phone". My friend nearly died at the prospect of speaking to Buddy Rich on the phone and ran to his dad's bedroom and started shouting for him to get up. His dad quickly explained the house rule about waking him but he told him "Dad you don't understand, Buddy Rich is on the phone!" and the response was "Tell that @ssh@le I'm not here!" and rolled over and went back to sleep.

Saw Buddy in South Windsor Connecticut approx 1970. It was called a Dinner Theater. Probably $14 per ticket for dinner and the show. I was about 16 yrs old. Put on a suit and tie. My date wore a gown. My mom drove us to the show and picked us up after. A different world we lived in back then, f'sure.

Yeah, he really did put a lot of tension on those drum HEADS.! I saw him at Disneyland once, and after the gig when everybody went home, I asked his roadie if I could go up on the stage and just check out the drum set. He said yes and I went over. It was that “Slingerland radio king” he played at the end of his career. And he had.:…REMO WEATHER KING JUST STANDARD WHITE, FROSTED HEADS THEY WERE ALL” DIPLOMATS” on both tops and bottoms of his TOMS ! His snare drum Batter head was also a REMO diplomat standard white frosted head, CRANKED UP REALLY HIGH TABLE TOP TENSION! Couldn’t believe it was an eye-opener that was!

It is difficult when the idea of a band/group is channeled through just one person. I appreciate that we each have our expectations but it is the coming together as a whole, through thick and thin in the moment, where chemistry is made. Outside of that, everyone is on eggshells pandering to the commander in chief, who are eager to please for a quieter life lol
