I have had the pleasure of seeing Buddy Rich many times in small clubs all around NYC back in the 70's. I got to meet him a few times in person, he was a cool dude. After the band was all set to go, all the musicians were in there places, Buddy would walk out & take the stage, & when he did you can feel the energy level rise in the room, you knew that something great was about to happen! He would then count off the first song & it would a musical force coming from the stage. A great experience every time!

When I was still in High School I went to buy an eight inch splash fer my kit and was shocked that it cost me over $200 with tax. This was I believe before Paiste entered the market and prices seemed to come down a little. Around 1977......Thats just a small example of the HUMONGOUS affect Buddy had on me....!

I have an update. A little research using Clarence hinze's amazing discography revealed that it was August 7th 1978 with the Swedish radio big band at a jazz festival in Sweden. They are all basically Studio musicians and probably had minimal rehearsal at best. I really enjoyed how buddy handed them the last ensemble of Mexicali nose after the 8 bar drum brake near the end. He knew they were reading, and he was being nice. Yes. He was being nice. He was often nice believe it or not

@billkirchner6738 Жыл бұрын

This is clearly NOT one of Buddy's road bands, but a Swedish pick-up band playing on, as AJ Nester points out, minimal rehearsal. These are good players, but the lack of familiarity with the music is obvious. Also, Buddy is taking the tempos faster than usual; if the tempos were slower, the playing would have been better.

@ajn465 8 ай бұрын

I agree, but Bunny had a funny way of taking a bunch of guys like that and making them play over their heads a little… buddies bands changed one man at a time for the most part. When a new guy would come on, he would have to step into the hurricane and come up to speed ..and buddy took charts that fast all the time. I’ll bet you money this was way faster than the rehearsals, and Buddy still manage to knit the band together. And the guys in the band got to feel what it was really like in the eye of the hurricane.

No they are a Swedish big band that Buddy graciously sat in with. They were probably not told that Buddy played “up” and therefore weren’t quite prepared for the tempo he played at. He often changed the tempo on various tunes to break the monotony and keep his players fresh on the band stand…

Gotta give absolute respect to what he's done for the drumming world. We need more like him to bring attention and respect back to the art form from the general public. That said, I think there are probably players today that can outplay him in specific contexts. Definitely one of the goats. Also, i just disagree with him on the whole trad grip thing.

@quintbromley2112 Жыл бұрын

@Jason Hoffman Nicely put, but I disagree that anyone can 'outplay' Buddy Rich. Traditional grip is still very functional, as well: Vinnie Colaiuta and Stewart Copeland, for instance. Two of the very best.

@JasonHoffman-pm2eu Жыл бұрын

@@quintbromley2112 Im not saying that it isn't a functional technique. I just disagree with buddy's claim that it's the only right way to play. trad grip can open you up to some crazy left-hand speed like what Greyson Nekrutman can do but matched can also be incredibly fast and gives you more fluidity and volume. At the end of the day, you can get to the very elite level with both and there are amazing players in both camps. many use both regularly.

Never liked Rich, always though he was overrated from too much exposure. It always sounded to me like even guys like Ginger Baker had more of a swinging sound than Rich, fast doesn't mean good nor does it sound like music in his solos. Fast, fast , fast, that was always his go-to pony trick but it sounds like nothing but noise to my ears, any top-shelf drummer can move just as fast but they dont have to because its not what makes the music.😮
