Others were so privileged that could live in an age in which that music was made.

One word for Buddy ,,,,,,,,,Dynamic.

Alive! Nothing better

@@thegreatgazoo5456 Amen to that along with some 60s.

@The Great Gazoo My teenage years were in the 70s, and I couldn't agree more it was a great decade for music.

This was Jerry not the monster as anti-Semitic morons portray him

Jerry Lewis was not a "great gentleman". In real life he was an cranky, difficult, misogynistic jerk, according to pretty everyone who knew or worked with him. And he was a horrible father and husband.

That is incredible. I never got to take any of his clinics, but I wish I had! I'm so happy he was a gentleman to work for, and I also love the Jerry story. Both of these guys have reputations as being hotheads so it's important to hear stuff like that. And all I can say is it's 2024, and people are STILL watching Buddy. Have you seen all the reaction videos to his clips? Young drummers who have never seen him watching him for the first time? Just go look up Buddy Rich reaction video, you'll get a million!

I guess you didn't hear what Jerry Lewis did to his first wife and daughter. He left his first wife and daughter for a PRETTIER wife and daughter and cut them completely out of his will!

Jerry Lewis is and always be one of the greatest

Hello 👋 how are you doing over there

@@stefandieter4044 he was a comedian?? I would never have guessed from his act

@@edwardhyde4861 He would outdo any comedian of today, pure trash is all they have to say.

he was a gimmick.

ja ja yeah

Buddy was awesome I'm impressed with Jerry Lewis as well he was a multi talented individual and a great entertainer in his own right

Gimme a beat

RIP to your drummer's brother😪😢

They're all playing with 👈😁 Neil Peart, for the "heavenly chorus"... Amen..

I'll tip my high hat to him.

Are you still alive?

Uh no you didn't

@@guitarttimman lmfao, just because you live a boring life doesn’t mean everyone else does.

@@SplendidCoffee0 That's interesting. As you feed your food to the world, so shall it one day come to use it against you. I learned the hard way, but I did learn.

@@guitarttimman tf are you on about?

I wonder if he taught his son Gary Lewis how to play.

yes sir!

​@@EBthere ¹1

I think 🤔 Jerry does comedy too movies and t.v. shows too .

He had an open hand approach to the hat. Pretty cool. Always seemed logical but is shunned. Lol

Not everything. For example stop smoking. In some movies he has scenes, what gave him opportunity to smoke.

I have come to appreciate Jerry Lewis more later in life - a truly talented individual!

Well said, actor comedian and pretty good musician, was most impressed with his Jim Norton impersonation (The early stand up years) 🙄👍

As a kid I was a fan, then I found out what a jerk he was...

My understanding is that both of them were major Primadona's @@wfemp_4730

Jerry Lewis was an even better fast draw artist and Marksman than he was a comedian.

"forgotten how fantastic Buddy Rich was" ?! That's quite a memory lapse !! 😂🥳

@@petermills542 Out of sight, out of mind😆

Two huge egoists. Amazing they found a Stage big enough for them to both be on.

unless you were is kids!

That and he was a goofball that everybody liked. gave us hope

Wow, that’s a night you’ll always treasure and thanks for sharing. I saw Humble Pie at the London Palladium and was my first rock concert. It was electrifying with singer Steve Marriott, this skinny ginger guy, play his Gibson Les Paul whose chords hit my soul and he belted out out vocals so powerful whilst spanking his plank of wood and string made a wall of sound whilst he pogo’d about the stage backwards hitting a chord with every jump! It’s only Rock & Roll but I like it. A very good friend of mine was married to the daughter of Ginger Baker who was and is a highly rated drummer. I rate Ian Pace, last remaining member of Deep Purple. He had amazing syncopation skills.

Wow!! Awesome memories🤗🤗 I saw Buddy Rich in my teens..15-ish/16 the mid '70s in Vancouver, at the Commodore Ballroom, what a show! I took my cousin Treva and we had a blast! we were just 4feet away from Buddy's floor toms ..the excitement that night everyone was up dancing..you see the Commodore dancefloor was made up of shiplap/2x3 boards, tires stuffed full with horse hair, that's what gave the floor it's legendary spring to everyone's step, you could dance all night there..it was cool, my Mom used to go all the time in the '40s and saw all the Big Bands, ...ifn' we could go back in time..for just one night eh

Yes. Kudos to the camera work overall, including a great variety of positions and techniques.

I'm about 95% sure that was Jerry's idea. He was a masterful director and cinematographer. He actually invented new processes in set design, film-making and directing, and pioneered the on-set video camera beside the film camera to get "dailies".

My late father was a lifelong member of the federation of musicians who played at some events along side the Buddy Rich band an I grew up listening to his records at home. Fast foward to 1970 at the first performance ever of ELP if you listen to Carl Palmers drum solo you can hear just how much he copied from Buddy! Both are amazing drummers but Buddy was surely the original and the king!

Lucky Man I wish I could have 🎉

Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day. Stay Safe!

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNthp8iWzt7RoKs.html ENJOY

Lionel Hampton, Philly Joe Jones

But he was an ENTERTAINER ... NOT A MUSICIAN!

I agree!!

@@ElliottMichaels56 He was a dancer, pianist, singer, songwriter, producer, director, ....and comediant, humorist, actor, entertainer, showman,...and an average drummer. So It was Sammy Davis Jr. also.

Unfortunately he was also a serial rapist

And one of Niel Pearts hero...RIP Niel😞

Miss marple

Gary Lewis

For that type of music, there was no one better than Buddy.. Later in the 60's and 70's I went more for Rock Drummers.. Greats like Ginger Baker of Cream, Earl Palmer, and Ronnie Tutt, who played on all Elvis 70's concerts.. All greats in what they did.. The TCB band featuring James Burton, Jerry Scheff, Ronnie Tutt, and Glenn D Hardin.. Master on their instruments..

I loved Jerry from my childhood until even now. He was such a blessing to us all.😊

Surely this is taking the p-ss, Past or future Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Jeo Morelli Louie Bellson all other come nowhere near

Buddy Love had a great voice! That Old Black Magic!

@@williamcharlton6341 Max Roach and Billy Cobham

Saw Buddy twice, near the last of his time with us. First was in May of '83, Michigan Theater, Jackson, Michigan. He started playing a melody on his Zildjians, brushes closed at first, using the rings on the end of them to "tickle" the cymbals. During the tune, brushes were opened for a bit, then, "POOF!". The brushes had just vanished, and he was holding and playing with sticks. I cussed the sly ol' boy under my breath, swearing to myself that if I ever saw him again, he wouldn't get away with such a move in front of my eyes. I was pretty far away from him that show, to be honest. Flash forward to after his stint in U-M's hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan, getting his heart worked on---Jamie's On Seven, in Livonia. Nice little nightclub, the perfect intimate venue to see the Master "at work." They played two sets; he acknowledged the Nurse who had been his main caretaker while he was recovering from his surgery between sets, as well as her parents, all of them V.I.P.'s that evening, of course. 2nd set, out come his brushes, and I'm like, "Ahhh,' I've got you now, sucker!" I was within 50 feet of him, maybe a bit closer. Watching, watching, watching--DAMN--He tricked me again! Knowing they were coming put, I STILL DID NOT SEE it happen--absolutely AMAZING, and it blew me away to hear Deep Purple's drummer, Ian Paice, (a favorite of mine since like 1972) has toured with Buddy's band not that long ago. Ian is an absolute powerhouse, (was, years ago!) something little known outside of musician circles...

Pretty much every rock drum solo is better than this.

I live in Lorain,ohio, and was playing at the palace theater, starring Frankie Avalon, we were the warm up band of rock back then , his bass player got lost and was late, well, Mr. Avalon asked if i could sit on the basd till he arrived, well fir song was Venus and so on, simple 3 chord progressions and i was on cloud 9 after that ,i was sure at first it was lip singing ,but it was all live music n singing from the old singers and drummers of the best years of our Time!!!

@@miguelalvarado2343 I like this story very much, but what does Frankie Avalon have to do with Buddy Rich?

@@ghostexits they were both professionals in their own right, even more than that , entertainers have love in their blood and can play with their hearts for the public, music is universal ,i said that about Frankie to let you all know i also met an icon like buddy, that's all ,just half hour of fame and it felt good ,sorry it didn't meet your terms.

Like Sammy Davis, Jr. Jerry's friend who could sing, dance and act. The Rat Pack was amazing.

Those people still exist there just not valued as they were so many less of them are known well it at all and the ones that are we only focus on one of the things they do

...and more talent than just "posing" 👈

Jerry was playing a very simple rhythm. Buddy was doing the complicated stuff at the end there.

@@joehamlet7576 yeah........

I grew up loving every Jerry Lewis movie. Was so upset when they stopped. Looking back on them I understand how silly they were but at that age incredible

Demonic…and continuity on I see.

Supremely impressive technically. But Ringo Starr was a better musician, with better taste restraint, and creativity, even though the egotistical rich called him merely adequate. I shudder To think how this showman Would have ruined Any beatles song he played on, and I certainly cannot imagine how we would have improved them.

na

Got to disagree with you there there are a lot that are his equal and quite a few who have surpassed.

@@mrfixxitt8346 LOL dis the one that brought you here. Buddy Rich was an amazing drummer. Met him, played with him and saw his concerts.

@@Patrickjohnphotography I'm not dissing Buddy Rich I think he is one of the best. But when you say he's the best and no one even comes close my opinion is it's not true. I have seen guys just as good and a few of them that I think are better. It's my opinion I take nothing away from Buddy Rich. But there are some phenomenal drummers out there for you to say that hey no one comes close that's just ignorant. So time for you to get your shoe box. Later

@@Patrickjohnphotography well maybe you shouldn't have played with him. Then maybe you would have been noticed.

¿Interpretó la batería 🥁 de la canción 🎶 de la pantera rosa?¿B. C. Rich es una de sus compañías?

Un.mounstrooooo crack

I have no talent but at the end my eye could compare the two together side by side Glad it was on film. And gave Buddy his respect

I’m a decent drummer and I’ve seen Jerry on other videos playing a kit. He’s pretty damn good!

@@fancy39 Thank you very much for your information. I was totally unaware of that. It is very interesting to know that now. I will need to research that a little. That will be fun to watch. Thank you Fancy.

@@John-rw2zf you might also enjoy seeing Karen Carpenter play drums. She was a supremely talented drummer. YT has some great videos of her playing drums!

@@fancy39 Thanks so much. Will do.

Neil Peart is by far the Greatest John Bonham Peter Sandoval Danny Carey Danny Carey and Tomas Hawke are all better

One of the greatest humanitarians that ever lived? How so? Because he hosted a telethon? Even though he refused to actually meet with any of the kids he was "helping", and only showed crippled kids to evoke pity. He also constantly cheated on his wives, thought of women as nothing but breeding machines, and was a horrible father.

I wish he'd been a better person, a faithful husband & loving father.

@@nadyarossi5102 it was sad to learn all these bad things about him after he died. It's like I remember an interview he did where he compliments his wife, calling her the glue that holds the family together. He said she was a good wife and, mother. The kids later said about him, they didn't know who'd be coming home at night. It was said he was more the t Character he played in the nutty professor as the good looking guy.

@@janetduncan87 My heart broke for Patty and his boys.

Hello 👋 how are you doing over there

Hello 👋 how are you doing over there

ya but i wanted to see him drum in the 1940's when he was young in his 20's, seems like the earliest footage i could find was in the late 1950's. Perhaps, drumming wasn't a big thing in the 1940's, i'm assuming he was drumming since a teenager.

Solos for all instruments, including drums. Had been a major part of jazz since the 1920s.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNthp8iWzt7RoKs.html Here's his competition right here they're playing together

Matched grip, something rich would later describe as "holding the sticks wrong". Total hypocrite.

@@bramleydragon maybe he was kidding.

@@starkenterprises2371 He sure was. He PLAYED it all along...

@@bramleydragon How is being able to play drums with both a matched grip and traditional grip being a hypocrite? He just was mentioning his preferred method.

@@joenarbaiz1640 Because saying drummers who play matched grip are holding the sticks wrong and doing it himself is hypocritical.

But can we hear 😂

@@TsunekuIT I dunno, can you?

I'm guessing you are very old if you think Jerry Lewis was the peak of comedic talent. He played the same character in everything he did. That doesn't take an enormous amount of talent.

@@modoc97405 Are you talking to me? I never said Jerry Lewis was the height of comedic talent. I've mostly hated his stuff over the years. I like comedy, but I'm not a fan of any particular comic. I do admire drummers, though. Drummers are magic.

Gene Krupa

Ian Paice of Deep Purple modeled himself off Buddy he a carbon copy of Buddy

Peter Sandoval, Hawke, Lombardo and Danny Carey are all better

i grew up with my dad liking him, and thats how i like him, and play, and no gadgets like they have these days. lol

@@johnalexander9855 Buddy and his Big Band came to the U.K. in 1968 , I saw their show on a Friday night, drove 2 hours to Bristol, Saturday drove to London, 4hour to see the same show, bought his album, Mercy, Mercy there , I still have it, favourite track is Channel One Suite , really long drum solo .

axiomist drummagazine.com/one-handed-roll-a-buddy-rich-trick/ An approximation...basically Buddy is using a left hand buzz roll whilst using his free right hand to play hits on cymbals and toms. He’s playing a such speed that our ears fill in the gaps and it sounds like he’s playing a continuous roll

Miroslav Kašpar Buddy was just superhuman

He was the GREATEST drummer but his personality was garbage. Expletives, rudeness and nastiness were a part of his relationship with fellow musicians and his commentary on musical genres other than jazz.
