One and only Mr. Drums Buddy Rich 🥁⭐🇺🇲

That brother had clever hands and most all of his solos had how he was feeling about playing that day. Friggin awesome drummer of all time

Greatest drummer to draw breath Gene Krupa said that and to this day that statement still holds true the one the only Buddy Rich

I would probably date this more like 1984. Buddy’s got the radio kings but the hairpiece was white by 86. Great capture of those vintage drums with the stick chopper hoops all around! He’s really playing on a collection of both Slingerland and Zildjian’s best work… He’s at his most relaxed… Which means he’s playing his best, And everything just sounds gorgeous

Hi, just clarifying that the date is correct. April 26, 1986. I was in the band at the time (trumpet 4).

Buddy was so awesome 😎 nothing much more can be said that hasn’t been said before. But he is truly the greatest drummer ever in history and honestly I doubt that anyone will ever set the bar so high as he has

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

RADIO KING snare.. no FIBES ring in here..🥁 This was Buddy’s last kit that he owned.. I wonder where it finished up.

I love this. A masterpiece of percussive conversation at work.

The GREAT, Mr. Buddy Rich and those amazing Radio King Drums.

Buddy and Slingerland. Both legends.

My god. 😮😮😮😮😮😮

Shades of the great Gene Krupa in the opening section.. though tremendously augmented

1986 ???
