  • Even if they made DW 9000 series stands in those days Buddy would have still knocked them over!

  • bravo!!!

  • That was future trumpet giant, Chuck Findley, at the ripe old age of nineteen, who caught the cymbal stand and saved the day.  The lead/solo alto was future sax star, Ernie Watts.

    Tony Horowitz

  • wow! at 5:07 that crash cymbal stand takes a dive but a quick, cool handed trumpet player not only saves the song but the trombone player as well. Not to mention the trombone player who just happened to be standing at the time the whole thing happened. When they got on the bus that night I'll bet I know who the hero was....Buddy was very lucky....

  • drum companies used to make crappy, i mean really crappy cymbal stands back in those days.

  • music of this caliber on network television, things have changed just a little over the years

  • '67? this was a revelation to me, the first version i heard was on Rich In London '72. How about that?

  • Buddy's playing a Fibes kit !!!!!

  • At 5:10 WHAT A CATCH !!!! Sign em up.

  • @gaspo218 ..What a catch is right!! If he'd missed, the bone player next to the soloist would have had is right arm severed off -slide and all.

  • buddy best drummer ever !!

  • I hope the sound engineer was fired. The idiot didn't have the soloist miked.

  • Does anyone recognize the other trumpet players other than Chuck Findley?

  • @trumpeted6359

    Yoshiko Murakami is playing lead.  He played mostly 2nd and third on the band but is the lead man here

  • just throwing this out there.. who did buddy use to set up and tune his kits..? did he undertake this himself ? i tell you why in this kit the hieght diference between snare and floor is quite large, and the snare is not angled forwards either, makes you wonder. any thoughts people(Buddy experts).

  • Wow, everyone got a solo on this one! ;-) I'm not a huge horn fan, but I do like the general tune. BUDDY!!!

  • Looks like Chuck is wearing the lead player's jacket by mistake. Nice sleeves, Chuck!

  • @rdangelo It appears that he is, his was playing the top of the chord at the end, you can see the other guy stop for a second and chuck was playing higher, maybe he had his lead player at the end at this time, you never play higher than the lead player or band leader in the case when trumpet leads the band, unless they say.

  • Great posting.. Thanks!

    Every Buddy Rich performance is like a master class to me. Something wonderful and exciting to behold from all the players !!

  • Brian740, Is that PHIL WILSON playing the TROMBONE solo? PS Thanks for ALL your posts.

  • 5:08 nice lol

  • yea nice catch !! lol

  • @MrZol what a catch!!!!!!!

  • HOLY CRAP!!! Where do you find this stuff!!??!!??

    Music of the gods!!!!

  • Buddy playing Fibes, must be after the Vox episode, and then on to Slingerland.

  • Thats Chuck Findley on the Cymbal catch!

  • How did i miss this one! Great!

  • Thanks Brian 740. Thought I had 'em all,

    or at least all the good ones. And I actually forgot about Mike Douglass. This vid/audio is very, very good. Looks like "Fibes" rather than his usual Slingerland kit. Sounds great!

  • wow.great clip,the cymbal falling over didnt phase anybody ..great catch.

  • Wow, never seen this before its awesome!

  • Did the video editor from "Batman" get a hold of this? What's with that flashing "Buddy" thing? "Holy Drumming Batman!"

  • Hi Brickslam!Bensim77 here

  • Jay Corre in the chair later held by Steve Marcus

  • It was Jay Corre, Don Menza, Pat LaBarbera, Sal Nistico (really short) then Steve Marcus in 1975 with Bob Mintzer. I love the way Mike Douglas didn't get "Trane"

  • This is awesome! Buddy is by far my favorite drummer!

  • Who are the rest of the cats in the trumpet section?

  • Never heard of travis barekr. Maybe someone should school you on spelling.

  • You are severely retarded if you think that. Nuf said.....

  • yea kindergarten -Maybe -you are in a smoked out trip.....

  • scopion learn how to spell and learn about some REAL drummers....you dumbfuck kid...

  • @scopions84 man, tou don't even know what you're talking about :S

  • @scopions84 umm no dude. Travis is a great drummer, but there's no comparison to Buddy Rich. First of all, It's a different style of music. Second, Buddy Rich is simply an amazing drummer and plays a lot more complex stuff than Travis.

    Why don't you go compare Travis Barker to someone who plays a slightly more similar style of music. Listen to Keith Moon. Travis Barker has nothing on him either. These were drummers leading the way to new styles and sounds...Travis is nothing new or special.

  • @scopions84 "Travis Barker is better than Buddy Rich?"

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHA.....that's rich!

  • Very cool clip that I had never seen before. This is the only time I've ever seen a clip or even a photo of Buddy using a complete Fibes set.

  • KRO222: Only a huge BR fanatic ( and I am one! ) would really be aware of his Fibes period, because outside of the Fibes SFT 690 COF snare drum, which he continued to play throughout his Slingerland endorsement, Buddy only played the FULL Fibes set for four months! From what I have researched, he played the full set from July of 1967 through late Fall, then of course on to Slingerland, where he stayed for 9 years!

  • Thanks! I always thought he went right from Vox to Slingerland and never knew that he ever played a Fibes set. Of Course I did know about the notorious Fibes snare drum that Buddy often used instead of the Slingerland models they were paying him to use.

  • KRO222: Buddy wasn't all that knocked out with the Fibes drums, excepting the SFT 690 COF snare drum of course!, so when then president/owner of Slingerland Don Osborne Sr. made BR the offer to play/endorse Slingerland, Buddy jumped at the chance, which also included a monetary stipend, as you well know. BR would have probably kept playing the Fibes set if the Slingerland deal hadn't materialized, or until another drum company "ponied up" with some drums/bucks!

  • KRO222: I also want to mention that the hardware Buddy is using with his full Fibes set is a mix of what Fibes offered at the time, and some from his Rogers set. The BD pedal is his Rogers Swivo-Matic, and both "L" arms are also Rogers. I have this complete show on vid, and there are some GREAT close-ups!

  • yea ;He was helping to Launch 'Fibes' HE AND Grausso knew each other. Heres a PIECE FOR YOU. the ORIGINAL FIBES SNARE was A PROTOTYPE MADE FOR BUDDY W./ ROGERS hdwr.seen it ,w/ all the signatures and documentation etc/ Wasn't much to look at though..

  • Thanks for posting. I love when I come across new Buddy stuff.
