Buddy Rich Live at the Muppets Show

[noah12angles]

stop saying travis barker...

[ZephyrFiction]

The true mark of a drummer isn't what he can do with drums.

Its what he can do WITHOUT them

Which is why Buddy Rich > Travis Barker.

[slwh111]

Definitely a genius and a legend on the drums. And Buddy Rich was pretty good, too. :-) 

[djlouis76]

Travis Barker is better than Buddy Rich and I'm the queen of England and Mike Tyson will find a cure to cancer. Oh by the way, Peter Criss is better than Buddy too! lol

[sumrextejodera22]

Buddy Rich could be a mean prick behind the scenes, but he was a fucking god behind the skins! I hope the guy talking about the punk drummer is merely a troll. If not, what a retarded motherfucker!

[saerdnaremmurd]

"When I play the theater, I play the theater!"

[LordSintax]

3:00 That man is doing a snare roll with ONE FARKING HAND....

[crabjuice23]

@LordSintax Yeah and if that isn't enough to make your jaw drop, he could do a one handed roll with BOTH hands. Incredible.

[mr2gti]

2:05 - does Animal scream "What the **** is that!"?

[NiXPredator]

Thomas Lang SO copied this. It's straight-out fraudulent.

[sumrexdiscus4u]

Who are the little wankers who pushed dislike? They must not like this vid because it does not contain some half-ass singing of cheesey lyrics. Go listen to your Lady CACA, I mean GAGA, Katie Perry, etc.

[BeatleJim55]

Saw him play live...met him...best drummer ever...next question!!!

[HipCovers]

Ya I just watched a Travis Barker solo.... why the HELL does everyone think he's so good. He's not BAD, but he's not really GOOD.

Buddy was and IS the best drummer.

[sumrexdiscus4u]

@HipCovers , I like Travis, but he is not worthy of licking the sweat off of Buddy's sticks after a drum battle. Buddy was the best. Honorable mention goes to Krupa, Roach, Belsson, Blakey, and Cobham.

[moiraWynnmdgi]

The best technique is explained for free at ez-casino(dot)com, never pay to make money!

[psychowriter97]

Animal got PWNED!!!!!!! His face at the end is hilarious.

[corbo5]

ringo rocks



[MrSmokingguns43]

So damn talented.

[slapjaxx]

i believe buddy was the best and animal was second. when animal screams he wacked himself in his nuts with the drum sticks

[DrewAnthonyNeurocide]

I think i smelled smoke while watching this!

[clbfmb]

are you people seriously arguing about drummers?...Animal rocks!..let it go

[demonpainter22]

Buddy rich was a legend and one of the greatest drummers ever been...No contest at all

[DH328]

Who cares if Buddy Rich was a dick, he's the best dick who ever played a set of drums.

[KeggersMcKeagney]

Two my drum idols playing beside each other! haha

[Stereovaccine]

Oh my gingerbread JEEZUS. That was special!

[Thamacx]

travis barker gargles my balls and flosses with my pubes!!

[scopions84]

i dont now who thse e seesame street fags r but i now 4 sure that travis barker can put an ass woopingon both tards specially the homo in the red shirt jordinson can fucking murder him 2 like the other guy said joey plays faster shit upside down

[jbutt125]

@scopions84 dude. if you knew shit about drums you would know buddy rich is a damn legend and couldve drummed circles around joey. not dissing joey. but its not just about fast. if you have no technique, well then you cant drum. faast fills mean nothing. fast pedaling means nothing. its all about technique. besides there two completely differant styles of music. dip shit

[krombee]

FUCK OFF you people that say travis or ulrich are better!!! look at his technique it's just impossible to beat!

[sugarbabe37]

genius, epic win mr rich!!

[555666justin]

I like the way Buddy plays but Joey Jordison does stuff harder than this upsidedown and if u don't believe me watch his 9.0 live drum solo and Travis barker is good but his band sucks

[WilyG0]

hummm... I don't really know why is he supposed to be so awesome.

I don't find any incredible ability or an amazing coordination.

He is just playing random notes with accents and not much more.

I've been druming for one year, and I can do much more than that.

I've seen some other videos, and he plays pretty faster and better, but I can't understand why some people considerate him a genius.

Of course he's good, but not god.

[hoolybop710]

@WilyG0 you have a bad ear.... you can hear anything can you.. your not as good as buddy rich in a lifetime let alone 1 year.. i gauntee you are some 9 year old who just started drumming and because he can play rock he thinks he is better than buddy rich.. first off jazz is harder.. second he is doing something amazing and is a genius.. you cannot be a drummer because you cannot do what he is doing as well.. so please shut up about things you know nothing about

[Candid023]

@hoolybop710

"Dear friend". I'm 16 =)

I recognise that rock is my favourite genre, but I play latin music (bossa nova, samba...), hard metal, ..., and even jazz. And I agree with you, that it's the hardest style.

I didn't say that I was better than him 'cause it would have been such a load of bollock. I say that what he is doing in this vid is not AWESOME and that I don't think he is so good as some say. I've also said that I can play hardest things than that, and I'm not a genious. That's all

[nemo296]

@WilyG0 You are a fucking idiot. Go back to preschool, maybe you should stop playing drums if you can't realize the genius in what he was doing.

[WilyG0]

@nemo296 And you are a fucking etnocentristic retarded

[totalmetalhead]

I love the muppets and nobody stacks up to animal lol, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, Ed Shaughnesy are all great drummers but animal rules!

[EthanWithACrowbar]

@totalmetalhead you forgot Bonzo lol

[jennifersman]

@EthanWithACrowbar Don't forget Keith Moon either, the "original animal"!

[Luckyjasondrum]

I feel like this all the time.

[GenV]

the mother of all drum battles :)

[clvlndmike]

"I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the Handle...!"

-Ad Rock, Beastie Boys

[Rapidfashion4]

What Animal does at 1.54 to 2.01 is actually more advanced than what Buddy is doing!

[Majick003]

That was actually Buddy playing the whole time.

[Tehcarp]

Yeah double kick drum, pretty much what's going on.

[Majick003]

What I meant was B was playing the whole clip; certainly not alone. B was onstage as "Traps the Drum Wonder" at 6 yrs old. His brain was liturally wired for drums. I'm 47, studied with Gene Stuart as well as Joe Morello. There will never be another B, he was/is the greatest drummer ever. The whole thing about him being hard on his bandmates is pathetic. So what, he used the "F" word alot. If he fired you, you deserved it. He paid the bills, booked the gigs and HIS name was on the line.

[spepper]

@Majick003 Fair Enough, the guy's a genius!

[nocturnezero]

It was? Then what are those melodic high toms you hear Animal playing?

[leifpaul]

no its not

[MrRandomOwnage]

I don't think so. It was nice but cmon it was only single's and accent's in snare then crash. 3:22 - 3:30

[Tehcarp]

Come on guys it's for kids, all it needed to do was seem like Animal and Buddy Rich were playing together. It did, so the show was a success. My only point was that buddy rich played the whole thing, all of it.

[jtpgz523]

TEAR...IT...UP!!! Buddy Rich smoked those skins, man. Animal has always been badass, but Buddy laid it all out.

[crazeebarbiegirlz]

ahaha, i just saw this today in general music. he is soo fast, the teacher was like, try to keep up with his hands!

[travisbarkerpwnsall]

who is this retard travis barker would fucking smoke this noob

[Taine12]

@travisbarkerpwnsall Are you missing your brain or something? Seriously? Some people just don't know talent when they see it.

[spepper]

@Taine12 the same people that think britney has talent. Fuck them.

Buddy is genius!

[AppleOfDischord]

travis barker? Same league as B.R? Hell no.

[desupertrut]

he is gooooood!!

[mannyR37]

Still, Travis is a Jackass that can hold a note. Go choke on a drumstick fanboi.

[Bazo123456]

Awwhhh you left put the part where animal uses a snare drum ver uniquely :L

[drummerlive01]

Lol

[readrats]

sorry on travisbarkerpwnsall i meant thumbs down (dumb mouse!)

[80sheadbanger963]

i agree with you yawa306

[amourdutigre]

One of my drum idols...

Animal! Not really, Buddy Rich was one of those drummers who defined the art.

RIP Mr. Rich. We miss you!

Peace

ADT

[stripemeister]

You know what they say about opinions! And if your ass is as big as it, I'll bet you have a terrible time in the bathroom! The other guy had it right:  without a doubt, Buddy Rich was the best by a mile. I had the opportunity to hear him 'live' over a dozen times, and had the privilege of spending 'one on one' time with him once, for an hour. A true gentleman and a genius for sure. What are YOUR qualifications to criticize talent such as this?

[MrScary66]

You can't say he's the best because there are so many different styles that just cannot be compared.

For example, you can't say Buddy Rich is better at playing speed metal than Aquiles Priester. Of course he isn't, but obviously Aquiles doesn't hold a candle to Buddy's jazz. It's different styles, different techniques, different everything. Opinion doesn't come into it.

[samquickdry]

but mrscary66 if you think about it, jazz originated way before the metal scene. so you CAN say buddy rich was the best there is.

[MrScary66]

I know what you mean, and I suppose you're right.

But saying that you could say that some amazing Ghanian drummer from centuaries ago was the best there is because he was way before jazz, metal and everything.

Drummers are learning more and more as time goes on, with more techniques to learn and more great drummers to learn them from.

so a drummer today could be equal to Buddy in ability but Buddy is considered better cos he learnd evrything with much less resources... if that makes sense

[zoomburger412]

and because hes such an inspiration. im sure that many drummers today wouldnt know near as much as they do without him

[maryjanesledzep]

what band?

[yawa306]

Who is this moron who keeps coming into these videos saying "TRAVIS BARKER, THE BEST EVER LAWLS!" He's a punk drummer. That puts him way behind Techinical drummers, jazz drummers, and metal drummers. I can name you 20 drummers better than him off the top of my head.

Stop being a moron.

And Yes Buddy Rich was the greatest drummer who ever lived. There is no one alive even in his league. Not even Neil Peart (Who may wind up a very distant second at the end of it all"

[mannyR37]

Travis Barker is a Jackass

[travisBrulzz]

travis barker wood own this fucktard you moron go swallow a fork dumbass

[MrScary66]

no he actually is a jackass. when he got burned in that plane crash i thought, hmmm. maybe now he'll have a reason to keep his shirt on.

[PristineSneakers]

@yawa306 Being a drummer who plays a specific genre doesn't automatically throw one into any particular skill bracket. I've never been a fan of his the bands he's been in, but I do think he's a very good drummer.

Having said that, his name doesn't belong in the same sentence as Buddy Rich's.

[buhrrito]

awh man. this guy was great.

R.I.P. Mr.Rich

[anomaly768]

The best drum solo and drum dual ever!

[DUDEMANDUDESKI]

travis barker as well as all other drummers world wide should pull out a notebook and take notes on buddy rich lol

[Aydee2020]

travis cn beat a7x,but noth this old motherfucker

[53462874]

i love 1:08 to 1:19 yeeahhh hahah

[jonthom11702]

Buddy Rich was known as "The World's Greatest Drummer" for a reason. This clip is further proof!

[Aodhan258]

totally agree with travis4prez or whatever your name is

[TheDirectorofFoo]

Travis Barker can kiss Buddy's butt. Bc there is NO other Buddy Rich.

[hybryd1980]

the best drummer

[reffaz007]

I once saw an interview with Neal Peart where he says that he studied Buddys technique and learned it so he could play even better!

[negra1701]

Animal got owned!

[onejagjeff]

Two of the greatest drummers together. What is not generally appreciated today is the mutual respect that existed between them.

[trubyyyyy]

epic wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnn

[KarloR27]

God fuck me I'd have to say he's better than perfect.

[Viewaskewroxors]

Yes, Animal is very good.

You did mean Animal, right?

[KarloR27]

No I meant Buddy Rich but Animal looked so jealous when he saw him play he was shocked. But I'd tell yeah since yeah see animal a lot playing his drums he would of so learned a lot from buddy.

[pepe7drum]

hahahaha i think that karlo did not understand the joke! hehe chears!

[JimHrdz]

epic

[hendrix1564]

"When i play the theater, i play the theater"

lol

[JoeyJordisonsSon]

my personal fave drummer is joey jordison but buddy rich is amazing

[kindofblue22]

The first segment where he's drumming on everything is a showcase of incredible cretivity and improvisation........we should all take a lesson from him

[JeffWaltonsDrumsL]

I watched this when it premiered and have been wanting too, see it again. Excellent

[woodyjr2ktv]

Major Respect

[figorocks]

i dont think animal was trying

[irocknj]

Animal has some skills. Nice!

[MrAssman96]

this is pure insanity!

[VolkswagenNut1969]

Wow, both of my favorite drummers of all time, together! ;)

[francescoo79]

^

barker can carry buddy's rich drum bags only

^

[och70]

That was fucking awesome, Buddy Rich, Animal...and Beaker!! lmao

Travis Barker? Who actually compared Buddy Rich & Travis Barker? Aside from the fact that they're both drummers? Get the hell outta here with that Travis Barker bullshit, he couldn't be Mr. Rich's roadie.

[bigpeeler]

Pure, unadulterated genius.

[johnfre2]

buddy rich is kind of good :P

[BringbackSWATcats]

Buddy Rich is a pimp. End of discussion.

[hippydippy]

1 WORD... PRICELESS ; - )

[ALFilmflex]

i love the expression on Animals face, lol, so funny, Animal is my fave of all the muppets, i love it also when he starts yelling random stuff in Animals random language.Sick guy.lol.

xxxxluv u animalxxxx

[owies094]

they should have tried this with neil pert or terry bozzio

[rockinredneck57]

Hell, who needs drums anyway? Buddy plays everything in the studio! Awesome performance. Sorry,Animal, better luck next time!

[D3NARDI]

Hail To The King Rich! He's The Man...Many Will Come, Some of Them Shall See, Some Of Them Shall Follow, But Like Buddy, There's No Other!

[clintony3000]

Look up Keith Moon, but Rich definitley kicks ass

[elmonster89]

how dare even thinking that

travis barker is a stone compared to them

he plays a shit, all these jazz drummers are THE drummers.

Barker's an asshole

[clintony3000]

Say what you want, but Travis Barker comes no where near Keith Moon or Buddy Rich

[samoonatic]

I completely agree, to the point where there's no comparison. Buddy Rich is the greatest drummer for obvious reasons, and I think Keith's the greatest rock drummer. I mean, I really don't think there's a Who song where he just plays the beat - he adds in everything he can, and produces a really wild and frenzied sound. Plus, the way he plays double bass drums is just amazing.

[jennifersman]

@samoonatic Moon is great but don't forget that John Bonham got just as powerful a sound with ONE bass drum!

[fernandoredz]

wat r u high?

[bassisbeast1]

"Travisbarker4prez," first of all, using profane language prooves that you can't hold a logical arguement. Secondly, Buddy Rich inspired in some way inspired Travis Barker. Whether directly or not, Travis Barker is trying to acheive Buddy's level. TRYING! And not only that buddy rich rocks as just a person. He's so outstandingly nice. He performed for kids on the muppet show. (above) He's an all around person. And the "orginial drum god" so bite me.

[Emmetc1]

go die sumwhere you fucking cunt.....no one apart from u and ur little gay mates like travis barker and his average drumming skill....go suck a fucking tailpipe

[wtf5strings]

Look if you really think that then youre a fuckign dumbass

Youre probably some dumb 10 year old sitting at his computer who heard one blink 182 song and thinks theyre the shit.

Buddy Rich is the shit, he's a drum icon. Everyone good knows him, even Travis Barker

(BTW i think Travis Barker is good too, but he aint a legend)

and now youre gonnna read through this, and either comment on how im "gay" or notice that i spelled a word wrong and comment on it.

you dont know shit about drums is all

[Johnyb0y]

you dont know shit, ask travis who is the better, he will totally say buddy rich, you stupid kid

[arnolddrummer]

Buddy Rich is possibly the best drummer in history. Travis is famous but isn't that good. Buddy is about 15 levels ahead of Barker

[cbies]

Oh, and for the record? Do you think Travis Barker is going to be doing ANYTHING like this when he's 60 years old and 10 years away from his death?

[rabidkoreann]

t barker is good but... nothin compared to buddy rich...

[SpenceMakeSense]

leave to some some dumbass travis barker fan to leave such an ignorant derogatory comment.

[knivesoutbitch]

of 'course you're 14 years old. only someone born in the 90s would say something so retarded.

[altbast]

Great, but you're missing the best part (where animal gets pissed off and leaves)

[tdolz]

After throwing a drum over Buddy's head.

[AnimatorDude1122]

hands down one of the greatest drumming legends ever! totally amazing! =)

[landseerromeo]

Sorry what said Aimal to Buddy???

[godoftenors]

I see why Peart worships him.

[framava]

Imagine what he was like when he was 5... Surprised he made it to adulthood.

[PortalgruperO]

jajajajajajajaja 1:09 jajajaja

[musickid110]

Greatest Drum Battle Of All Time !!!

R.I.P Buddy Rich

[Chibigirl95]

lol beaker

[zheik]

The Red Man Group.

[hebiakatsuki]

ownd

[cooladien]

lol that was so funny

[jrrtknight]

At 2:50, Animal finally realizes he just got owned by the legendary Buddy Rich!

[chiledoug]

yup.

[newedition2006]

R.I.P. Buddy Ruch

[aivopark]

Animal used play with Motörhead.

[sazma]

You should never bring it up to him though. Those guys hate each other.

[lilLeLuen]

EPIC O_o

[Lukestar1991]

He made it look so easy; two legends, two idols.

[brogansbarbers]

WOW! That's amazing! Takes me back to my childhood, I loved The Muppets.

[itachi1452]

darnit, and i could have sworn animal was the best drummer of all time....

[RustyDrummer024]

yea, that muppet won mos deff

[CameronGPruitt87]

Buddy Rich was the best!

[jvondd]

Yeah, he was an awesome drummer, but I've also heard that he was also a huge jerk. I'm guessing that you know more about him than I do, so perhaps you could help shed some light on that rumor for me.

[laughoutloud45]

as great a person he was, he did have a very short temper and was often a jerk to his band members. in fact, rumor has it, (or fact, i'm not sure) that on his deathbed, he requested to see tapes of all the times he lost his temper

[TheDirectorofFoo]

Yep, he seriously requested that. I would've laughed my butt off listening to my temper tantrums.

[enzo321]

when i play the theatre...

...i play the theatre lol

[DrumFanNo1]

Here is the complete battle with the gag at the end

watch?v=fVLNc95Txb8&NR

[UltimateVenomFan]

Animal is the best Muppet ever!

[12888dog]

Totally agree with ya there :D

[tyedye9]

I like how you got the beginning of the episode back, but you didn't get the end when animal throws the bass on rich's head

[mistyquest]

Seriously!?

[tyedye9]

Ya, it's like the funniest part. Animal looks at buddy rich, Stares at the croud, looks mad and reaches down to the bass drum. He then comes up and throws it on Rich's head

[johnafirth]

Best drummer that ever lived.

[gigagamer16]

animal just didn't want the drumming master Buddy Rich to lookbad XD

[rotyoung]

any idea who did the drum part instead of animal? Must be sucky to play against buddy rich and not get the credits?

[jdmitchell2]

it was Ronnie Verrell who played animal

[rotyoung]

thx for your trouble!

[jdmitchell2]

not a problem

[emchohot]

who said - vip seconds

[thebitterlemon]

Considering that Buddy Rich didn't believe in practicing, that guy's AMAZING.

[VVi11]

CLASSIC!

[Danex5o]

thats amazingly awesome
