Ever, Commedian and Drummer

impressionnant!

Wow. He is very fast but it is easier to play just the snare and bass as oppose to the whole drumset. Even so, he is. by far, the best drummer I've ever seen when it comes to speed. He's not very melodic.

Buddy was AWESOME!!!!! Kool surprise of Jerry's ability!!!! Awesome!!!!! Buddy's technique, rolls, rhythm, SPEED, timing, arms across his body - AWESOME!!!!!! I had the great pleasure of seeing Bud play live back in the 70's... it was freezing cold outside, Bud was hunched over with severe back pain, and was fighting a bad head cold... yet it was still the most AWESOME drum performance I'd ever seen - live!!!! Watching this clip almost brought me to tears!!!!! THANK You for the GREAT clip!!!!!!!

what about Ginger Baker. anybody ever hear Toad on wheels of fire? Best rock drum solo ever!

I actually remember seeing this on TV with my dad who was a great fan of jazz & big band stuff & he introduced me to Buddy Rich & many, many more of the old greats! Loved this bit of nostalgia!

Buddy Rich was unique. His legendary abilities were recognized as early as 1920 and he began performing when he was but a toddler right up to his death in 1987. Imagine performing at that level for 67 years!! Hands down the greatest technician of the drum kit ever....EVER! There are some amazing, incredible, fantastic drummers past, present, and to come but ANYONE with the audacity to claim that they are equal in technique to Buddy Rich is delusional or they got into some of Buddy's herb. Anybody who had the pleasure of seeing Buddy live knows with out a doubt that the video was indeed real. He has long been an inspiration and he takes a rightful place along side of the greatest of all-time jazz legends.

drum wonder of the world at the age of 3 yrs old

I generally visit MetaCafe looking for videos that are in the Humor category. While this one is humorous, I gave it the rating that I did ( 6 Stars ) becuase of how amazing Buddy Rich was. It is a sad commentary on American culture that we, generally, do not value our one unique contribution to the world of art ... Jazz. While in high school, many years ago, I had the honor to see Buddy Rich with his band. Impressive doesn't begin to describe it. It is a shame that the record companies have been taken over by greedy misfits who, not only know nothing about music but, have the audacity to shut out REAL musicians while foistering their wretched excuse for music upon the world!

one word.....WOW

even better than drum solo in Iron Butterfly inagodavida probably misspelled.

I was lucky enough to see Buddy Rich in a battle of the drums with Louie Bellson at Jazz At The Philharmonic in Minneapolis, 1957. It was totally mind blowing

Words alone can't describe the legendary greatness of this fantastic drummer. One of, if not the best in drummer history. Thank you so much as I know some people who would truly appreciate this video.

Thanks for putting this one on here...it brought back some great memories and my kids (teens) think he's better then most drummers today!!!

clip brings many memories !!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's the fastest drumming I've ever seen. I'm waiting for the inevitable 'it's been edited! FAKE!' coming from flamers.

hail to buddy rich...

things never change just the time does

muthis bir gosteri olmus...

Buddy Rich will always be known as one of the greats if not the greatest drummer ever !!

he always plays the "silly" part and gets a laugh every time.

My brother's boss he's a multi millionare and my bro told me that His Boss owns 2 of BUDDyies drum sets he said that each cost around $30,000 actual drums that buddy played on pretty kool eeeg?

You claim to have a drum 'SET' not a drum KIT .......and you are better!! nuf said.

I have a drum set all those things i can do the same or maybe better it depends on my concentration
