Did you all see his second little solo where he grabbed the left crash cymbal and choked it with lightening speed? UNBELIEVABLE!! About 20 years ago I started to incorporate that lick (grabbing the crash cymbal and choking it). Now, I start to crash the left crash cymbal with my left hand. Psst, I own a set of Buddy Rich #80N by Slingerland drums that I purchased at Drums Unlimited in Bethesda, Maryland. Yes, marine pearl, just like Buddy's. I love this set.

This is THE BEST! His tone and attack are warm and he plays off the natural reverb of the hall. His phrasing and musical direction are songlike like I've never heard Buddy play before. Buddy, even after his triple by-pass surgery got better and better and better! There are warmth, humor and musical direction in this performance like never before.

I have always considered the first movement to be some of the best big band jazz ever written. This is an excellent recording. I also like the fact that it includes the middle movement, which was passed over on both occasions when I gopt to hear the band live. I read that he often left that out in order to allow for the extended drum solo everyone wanted to hear. Same thing on the West Side Story piece. At any rate, I think it interesting that probably the two most popular pieces his band did were arranged by Bill Reddie. But I can find hardly anything about him on the internet. I know only that he was a Las Vegas music director and alter had a company researching the therapeutic value of music. Great music...every time. That's Rich!

If you watch the yearly Buddy Rich tribute his daughter puts on, it’s amazing. The top drummers in the world perform with Buddy’s band. And as good as these guys are you can see they know they can’t hold a candle to Buddy, not even close. That’s not a slight to these guys, they are some of my favourite drummers, it’s just that Buddy was one of a kind.

You are so right about that. No matter where how or what he's playing, you can always hear that one of a kind signature "Buddy Rich" sound. Even when he did his little skit on "the Muppets" and was playing his way down the stairs on the banister, it still had the signature "Buddy Rich" all over it. Awesome performer. I am a 50 year old female from CA. who was brought up to appreciate music of all types. I could listen to him on the drums all day and not get tired of hearing him.

@@buddyrichforever I've been a huge fan of BR since the release of Live in London in '71. I was lucky enough to see him in concert 5 times, and meet him once. He has no peers. But I think you took the comments way too seriously and too literally. Buddy had the reputation of being a taskmaster, even a dictatorial one, and Johnny and Mel and others joked about that. I think it was Johnny who would refer to him as "Mr. Warmth". And Buddy certainly didn't mind being known for that bad ass attitude - and he had a wonderful sense of humor about it. He probably would have been mortified if all his good deeds, generosity and compassion from behind the scenes were known to the public. But he could be a very intimidating presence to us mere mortals.

Buddy Rich.....Buddy Rich, the old joke goes "This big band drummer comes off stage, drenched in sweat after a 25minute solo. He passed backstage and the stagehand says "Who does he think he is, God Almighty??" -The Stage Manager replies, "No son, he IS God Almighty, he just thinks he is Buddy Rich!" Now, I grew up in the 50s, my first paid drum gig was age 12 in 1964. Buddy Rich, who I worshipped, dissed my favourite pop drummers, Keith Moon, Ringo, Kenney Jones, mainly by slating "MATCH GRIP" - YET....here he is in the first few bars of this amazing piece.....using fuckin' match grip!!! WTF?????
@Nomfyy

Stewart Nicol There’s a video that states the few occasions he will use the matched grip. He plays the floor tom like it’s a timpani which is definitely played with matched grip so that’s what he does. He also plays the hi-hat with matched since it’s awkward with traditional.
