It seems that many of todays drummers feel that they can't demonstrate good drumming unless they have two pedals going. The art of going around the drums using permutations seems to be becoming a dying art which I suspect is because double bass playing inclines one to play singles exclusively which can limit the creative range of a drummer.
I love metal music (Lamb of God, Metallica, etc.) and i think their drummers are incredibly talented, but Buddy Rich is still the #1 drummer of all time!
I saw this band live--if you think they are awesome on this old scruffy video you can imagine what they sounded like live. Buddy Rich was an absolutely awesome presence driving the band--nothing I've ever heard in rock can compare.
buddy is the god on drumset... really. im play myself classical percussion und timpani but when i was younger i played drumset and i love this music up to now! i really hate it that all this non musical metal drummers and their fans think that they are the best... in reallity they are nothing..
You'll be interested to know that Buddy Rich himself used some double kick. Only a very few times, I've only been able to find one recording myself. Is he one of those douche bags?
@bleauh no because people don't think he is great because of that. maby if you would actually read what lachie 10's comment you would get it. Buddy was amazing, maby even the best ever, on drumset for so many other reasons. Metal drummers are thought of as good because they can preform the relitivly simple task of playing really fast.
@nickppp100 I'm aware of the misconception of speed=skill. I was addressing that he seemed to regard double bass with disdain, reading it now, some two months later, yeah I suppose I didn't read it properly.
@lachie10 I agree speed and technique without musicality is useless. Buddy, Jo Jones, Joe Morello did more with a conventional kit than any speed-master can do today. The older I get the more I appreciate the guys who had to play within the context of a 24 piece band.
Buddy and Gene, the drumming gods.
