@yamashi2222 Thank you! Very nice of you to think so.
However, It's not possible to even come close to Buddy; he has a unique combination of everything a real drummer needs, but he SURE IS the greatest source of inspiration! :-)
@rogerbergbigband Uh maaaaaaaaaaaaan!!! I'm so happy I found this video... That's some very serious material. You sure spent remarkable amount of your valuable time and talent on studying Mr. Rich's "wonderfullnes"! and... you came as close as it gets i think! I'm blown away I''m a BB drummer myself and know what we are talking about... ONCE more! THATS MIND BLOWING! Great JOB! I sure will come back to your videos with joy! THANK YOU!!!
@rogerbergbigband i have to say though - some of those licks i've heard from BR's solos - brilliantly played. you've got the frantic edge but still supremely controlled. The white jacket helps too, hahaha!
Try tapping 8th notes with your left foot, now fourths and the occasional double kick with your right foot, now play pretty much every single rudiment in the book at 230+BPM while keeping each foot exactly in time. You now have the amount of talent as one of this drummers finger nails.
man drummers like him are what the world needs more of. awesome groove, awesome solo and the freedom of his limbs when he plays is amazing. looking at so many drummers these days they're uptight and sloppy but this is just about perfect. well played sir.
I'm a tad bemused by some of these other comments! Percussion is not at all 'overpowering". This was a 'live' recording. Can't judge the balance of a live recording. And of course its not like the 'original'! That's been DONE! Its supposed to have some 'originality'! Its called ARTISTIC LICENCE! Making the piece 'your own'. This is just my 2 cents! And I say BRAVO!!
@DeathlySorrow people like you are rly a pain in the ass, try doing a drum sole like this, do it beter, upload it and then have something to say about his drum sole you idiot.
Excellent ,smooth,right in the pocket drummer,great how he builds up the intensity on the solo.and then trows in all these diffrent chops.Makes me want to practice so I can be half as good before I die.

I like the original arrangement much better, but that guy kills on drums. Dynamite chops and wonderful playing.

@woutdegroot This is a chart without the original clarinet part. We have another chart now which is much closer to the BG original.

To be perfectly frank, it's not bad.
However, it is a little too fast...
and there's no clarinet.
Another thing is, the percussion is overpowering everything else.... which is not too good.
Anyways, besides those few flaws... very well done (:

I wouldn't say it "sucks" but it does not compare to the original.
They're using saxophones for as an intro instead of trumpets.
They're using a guitar.
The drummer changed the arrangement up. He's very skilled but not playing the original. But I would love to see Gene Krupa and him in a drum off.
The final nail being, NO CLARINET!
Good but does not compare to the original.

Smooth drummer.Very little body movement. His hands and the sticks did all the talking. Left handed snare roll...verrrry impressive.
The tempo did not fluctuate at all.
Nice to see him play his solo with dynamics.
Awesome talent!
