god dammit why does every drum video have comments about travis barker? travis barker is extremely talented.....in his genre. buddy rich wouldnt be playing punk rock. and travis doesnt play jazz or big band stuff. there will never be "the greatest drummer" period. peoples opinions differ. just shut up and enjoy drumming, instead of trying to show off and bash other players. buddy rich = most popular drummer of his era. travis barker = most popular drummer of todays era. fact.
@4against1 wow so cursing and calling someone a noob? real classy. and im showing respect where did you get me disrespecting anyone (other than people who make dumb comments at others drummers) from that message? and i know a shitload about travis barker hes a huge influence on me, so is buddy rich, and many other drummers. i also said he doesnt play jazz....as in now, he plays/tours with hip hop/rap and punk bands. so next time you go to cuss out a comment read and understand it.
Dude dont be that hard hard on travis . Yes budy rich isthe drumming god . that means no can ever beat beat him .So besides that idiot people that compete travis with buddy Why do you assult travis.I mean if your not the best that doesnt means that your not good
everyone needs to shut the fuck up! buddy rich is amazing, travis barker is amazing. But i dont know if any of you dweebs know this but music is an opinion not fact so stop arguing and just be glad that both are here for us to enjoy....... oh yeah did anyone mention art blakely, elvin jones, chris penny?
I keep wondering WHY anyone even mentions Travis Barker? He's a rock/marching drummer and not even good enough to mention. Buddy is bar far STILL one of the best drummers in the world. His smooth, impeccable solos are works of art by which no one can replicate today. At 2:18, I want to see any drummer today to a left hand and kick foot roll like Buddy does and as smooth as this.
Buddy is a legend forever. Travis is doing his own style. TWO DRUMMERS, two different worlds you a-holes. SHOW SOME RESPECT. Those are new to drums, I can tell travis is the door to drums and BUDDY is the main of the drums! I'm new to Buddy Rich and I want to explore more NOT TO CRITIC. to all who are better than the famous drummers like Travis, hope you guys can peak their stage of their lives BITCHES.
Yes,Buddy Rich,and Gene Krupa,were ,without a doght the,''Kings'',of Drummers,from the early 60's -early 70's,but there's a lil' known piece of 'Trivia',...a young Englishmen,named Carl Palmer,[ around 21 yrs.old ],that Buddy Rich,idolized...and if ya listen to any of his post,1970's 'Solo's,you'll catch numerous,Carl Palmers',riff's styles,tripeletes,doubled Kicks,on a single kick,and his numerou roll-outs...''just listen,before ya judge''...
cool that he crossed sticks a couple of times - nice to know he's literally not an alien. this goes way beyond mastery of an instrument or even instrumental mastery or even, music. it's hard to say exactly what Rich is doing. Amazing.
every buddy rich video.. "TRAVIS BARKER IS SO MUCH BETTER" id put my money on buddy in a battle any day of the week and if you valued your wealth you'd do the same.
@Sleeve51 - Travis Barker is the drummer for the band *Blink 182*.... At least he was. He is definitely great... But not in the same class as Buddy or Neil. It's funny though, his name does sound kinda country. You should Google him; he has some awesome videos. Take care...
Who's Travis Barker? I'm serious. I saw Buddy on the Tonight show back in the late 60s with Louis Bellson accompanying him and poor Louis couldn't keep up (sad to say). He kept looking over to Buddy wth a :you're making me look bad" look. Louis dropped 2 sticks. I felt bad for him, but what can you expect when you pair up with the absolute King of Percussion. Now who the hell is Travis Barker? A country singer?
@4against1 Travis Barker is awful. His ONLY talent is he can play sixteenths on hihat and ride kinda fast. Thats it. I'm a sophomore in high school and I have more talent than he does.
Travis wouldn't know what to make of this art form. An actual complex almost impossible drum solo that completely blows all of our minds. While Travis slams his sticks down, Rich hits with presicion , more speed yet theres rhythm and skill , Travis could only get that help from a recording. In other words, Travis ain't nothn.
@Tom6093 come on man, Travis is good, better than most, Has he ever said "im better that Buddy Rich' ? Buddy is probably the best drummer ever, hes the MJ of drums.
@MusketMatt Iv'e heard better drummers on street corners then Travis. All Travis is, is a hip hop drumming bitch that has some style, but absolutely no skill in other venues in music. Thats all he is. I can't take him seriously as a drummer. End of story.
Once he got to this point....could Buddy have gotten any better?? He kicked ass from the day he picked up drumsticks to the day he died. The name Travis Barker (vomit) shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Buddy Rich!!
If you ask most rock/metal drummers, Who is one of the best drummers ever? I bet over 90% would say "Buddy Rich" Hands down. Travis Barker wishes he had 1/10th of this talent.
@imv3ryhungry listen to jazz fusion if you want drummers who are light years beyond n.peart. rock beats are very basic compared to jazz. u need the rudiments to do jazz, not with rock. watch dave weckl's solo in " Got a match - part 2", or dylan elise in "amazing drum solo"
I Thought Travis Barker was the best drummer of all time, but now i've seen this man and you just can't choose who's the best they're both really awesome and they are pro's in what they do. Much respect to both
Only once in a lifetime does an artist come along who is so much better than everyone else that u really can't make comparisons without sounding foolish. I've never seen anybody who could dance like Fred Astaire or play drums like Buddy Rich.
you r all so opinionated! there is no comparison with anyone! everyone is different!! Shutup and watch the videos and Learn! or... are u too good for that???
Travis is good, but Billy Cobham with Mahavishnu ("Vital Transformation" played in 9/8 time) and Buddy Rich and Vinnie Colauta and Gary Husband are also very good. Travis plays punk very well. Buddy Rich could get a full size big band to absolutely kick ass. Travis can't. Listen to Rich's "Big Swing Face". It's ALL good.
@killercrabman i'm not shit... you don't like me. :) anyway i drum better than he, but i'm not superstar..unfortunately.... so.... Travis Barker is a shit superstar...
Man,there is just nothing as special as watching someone who excels at their craft. Whether it be doing drywall,painting,cooking-anything,a master at work is something to behold. This was a true master and the best there ever was- period.
No Question One of the best if The best !! True Story took lessons from one of Buddy Rich's Teachers in CT 1969 at Weller Studios ! Was grilled on Jazz at a young age and hated it ! Only years later that I thanked him. But really funny watching this , because picked up alot of the same beaters or style 44 years later , Mark Rich at MonsterDrumWorks-FLA-USA *
Unreal! Anyone serious about drumming should study Buddy's books, he's simply too important overlook. I would Shudder to hear what he'd play like if he where young today and with precision engineered drums
Aside from his incredible hand speed and control no one ever mentions his right foot. Power,speed and control like Ive never heard with a single pedal. Simply amazing. Buddy was one of a kind. Truly gifted and unique. He is the king of the drum solo. He practically invented them. Musicality mixed with virtuosity. WOW
@4against1 You Travis Barker trolls are absurd. Travis himself would bow down to Buddy, and make all of you Travis sluts look like the ridiculous, uniformed noobs you really are. It must be a drag to be so musically deluded. Keep dreaming, fools. Buddy is the pinnacle of drumming. Without question. without a doubt. Learn to live with it. The world drumming community agrees with this. QED.
Wow, amazing. And he did it all with just one rack and 2 floor toms. He's just so at ease when he's playing. If i had to show someone just one drummer to show what drumming is about, I'd show him buddy. I heard he never practiced, either. Imagine what he'd do with today's drum technology. Nobody drove a big band better than buddy, i think.
Respond to this video...My only beef with this video is that it stops before we see the whole performance. I WANT EVERY SECOND Buddy has to offer. I don't want to miss a moment.

The drums as high art. The finest drummer of the twentieth century or any century...

Wow, amazing. And he did it all with just one rack and 2 floor toms. He's just so at ease when he's playing. If i had to show someone just one drummer to show what drumming is about, I'd show him buddy. I heard he never practiced, either. Imagine what he'd do with today's drum technology. Nobody drove a big band better than buddy, i think.

@metalfiend124 He very rarely used his second floor tom. Most of the time it was a place to rest his towel!

@Gretchluver1 I wish he used more rack toms, but he certainly didn't need them. He gets a great range of sounds out of just one tom.

Buddy Rich is not a normal drummer. He makes allmost all other drummers look like babies banging on pots and pans. He is just to amazing for words.

Respond to this video...My only beef with this video is that it stops before we see the whole performance. I WANT EVERY SECOND Buddy has to offer. I don't want to miss a moment.
