  • Pretty interesting comparison ... elp's Tank IS credited to "Emerson, Palmer"

  • Anyone who posts Travis Barkers name after this sucks my fucking dripping dank cock.

  • @Oreeyemma Get your morals straight.

  • @XxStrongDrums1996xX fuck you....cuntopolis.......eat my fuckin shit

  • @Oreeyemma It's people like you that remind me that I'm not so bad.

  • @XxStrongDrums1996xX humility is something you should be used to...like when the old man used to come home bombed & fuck you b4 beatin mom....c'mon...u rememeber the good memories dontcha....it was right be mom dropped dead at the bar

  • @Oreeyemma >implying I've been humiliated

    Again, you make me feel VERY intelligent. Please, keep sending me these sorts of comments.

  • @XxStrongDrums1996xX my dick is straight.wanna choke on it loverboy??? c'mon you & trav & travs kids can all suck my lopper :) :)

    whataya say??????

  • @IndieGod666 As I said to the other guy, people like you make me feel very smart. I find it entertaining that you feel that I am, as you might say, "on Travis's dick" because of the fact that I am posting a true statement about him that you are pissed off about. People seem to think that I am claiming that Travis is better than Buddy and Carl, which I'm not, nor was I ever. Once you develop a proper understanding of music, you'll understand why Travis is good.

  • @XxStrongDrums1996xX YOU HAVE 0 TALENT.....HUSH LISTENER

  • @IndieGod666 Ok, i keep receiving comments from people that make no sense whatsoever, and when I click on their channel, all I get is a message that says "channel not available". Are these computers or something?

  • @Oreeyemma then there are like 500 people sucking your dick.That dude is a mediocre drummer.Blink is over with & nothing but retards like them.They are just pissed cos no one will ever respect these no talents like the kings of the past.....they dont deserve it,hardly any of them can play...jsut cos it appeals to you doesnt make it good.These asshole kids need lots of schooling.

  • the last 15 drum videos I saw had top comments regarding Travis Barker. ENOUGH PEOPLE. YOU MAKE ME SICK

  • he looks so pissed and unamused......geez man chill

  • Because Carl Palmer and Buddy Rich were terrific friends and Buddy Rich taught Carl Palmer a lot of his licks?

  • what year was this? anyone know?

  • ... (snore)

  • Comment removed

  • Enigma, my ass. All drummers, particularly young ones, copy their idols. Not to mention ELP had to produce some filler tracks quick to fill out the first album before it's deadline. Oh yeah...and fuck the mind-numbly overrated Barker with a steel support beam covered in asbestos.

  • @SDupe44

    Funny you should mention Peter Criss. His solo in the middle of "God of Thunder" from Alive II has Buddy written all over it.

  • Seems this isn't really a "versus" thing; it's just a just an entertaining observation -- that Carl Palmer transcribed and learned some of Buddy Rich's licks, for the fun and challenge of it, like any drummer might do.

    I hardly think Carl would see it as an attempt to "compete" with Buddy.

    (Our arms are all too short to box with God...lol...)

  • @ikshields - There's nothing wrong with having influences as long as you admit to them, and there's nothing wrong with borrowing from them as long as you're not stealing and claiming it as your own.

  • Carl Palmer is a great drummer. Buddy Rich was doing those licks before Carl was even born. God gave both of them gifts. I believe Buddy was the best.

  • Buddy Rich forgot more than Carl Palmer will ever know before Carl was born.

  • Bob Barker can play better than Travis Barker!

  • @giggie and 4aginst1 - LMFAO at your comments! You're right. I don't trash a fellow musician, especially a drummer, because I've worked hard for 55 years trying to be a good drummer myself. I do, however, can't think of a reason Travis Barker is even in one's brain path when mentioning Rich and Palmer. They are some of the best drummers who've ever lived. Barker fits the band and the music he plays, and let's leave it at that. If he ever went up against Carl Palmer, he'd get his clock cleaned.

  • travis barkers average,he just got lucky with his band

  • Buddy Rich was an amazing drummer. I guarantee you he could play anything Travis Barker has ever done with one hand tied behind his back. If you don't like Buddy, check out Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl, Thomas Lang, Dennis Chambers, or my personal favorite, Danny Carey. All incredibly talented masters of the drums. Travis Barker can't hold a candle to any of those guys, but they could play Travis' drum parts with the greatest of ease, and make them sound better. Travis is a hack.

  • @4against1 Travis Barker is at best an AVERAGE drummer. He has no exceptional skills whatsoever when it comes to playing drums. There are tons of drummers you've never even heard of who would mop the floor with him. He just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Just because he is famous doesn't mean he's a great drummer. He does have good feel and does a good job of playing in the pocket, so he gets called to do some studio work; pop music doesn't require much skill to play.

  • he looks so happy

  • Don't hate on travis barker. he's obviously not as good as these two. but he's also completely different, and admittedly good at the style he plays.

  • @DinnenG I don't think Travis Barker would get so much hate if his fans didn't insist on being snide pieces of shit. It's pretty damn rediculous when you're looking at a legendary drum solo by one of the all time greats, and then his fucking name just has to be brought up by some little scene douche who wants to be hardcore. The guy himself is not so much the problem as is the ingrates who listen to him.

  • The one great comparison that can be made between a fantastic drummer like Buddy Rich and ANY other drummer you may think is great -- is to give that other drummer a much smaller set of drums. A standard set. So if they miss, they don't accidently hit something else they hung all around them. Why a great modern drummer needs 500 drums & cymbals surrounding him is beyond me. Rich never need it and he sounded like two machine guns firing at the same time.

  • I can never tell if all the Travis Barker loons who come out to comment on drummer videos are serious or if they are just trolling. This has been going on for years. He's a very okay drummer, seriously just okay. There are countless better drummers out there, never mind titans like Palmer and Rich. I have nothing against the guy, I just don't know why so many think he's so great.

  • @StrangeMuseMovies its trolling...like the beiber thing

  • @Oreeyemma GOOD CATCH CAPT OBVIOUS!!!!!!!!!! HEY WHEN ITS HOT OUT, DO YOU SAY..."BOY ITS HOT!!!"

    You retard

  • Travis Barker ??? hahaha damn I no longer want to live if anyone would ever say that Barker is better than these great drummers. He's good don't get me wrong but....

    Just tell me, does Barker use the Underhand grip/Traditional grip??? Don't worry I'll wait...

  • Travis Barker shouldn't be in the same sentence as Rich & Palmer? Oops! Anyhow, there's no comparison, a brain dead reality Tv star who's an okay drummer against two of the greats? Trust me, I've been drumming for years & whoever brought Travis Barker into this should fuck off & watch a video of some current gay stadium rock band.

  • Travis Barker doesnt suck. There's a jazz record out there with him on it. Find it and listen to it. However, even though Buddy Rich didn't have the 30-40 years of musical evolution thats taken place to develop his drumming, he'd still murder 99% of modern drummers while he plays on a 4 piece kit. And I dont think Barkerk is one of the few.

  • who is barker ?

  • @giggie He's the douchebag from Blink 182.  Maybe I should specify... the douchebag on the drums.

    Travis Barker

  • @ejlister Lol, only he isn't a douchebag. He's very humble, and doesn't boast about himself. Immature fucks that troll with his name are the ones who give him a bad connotation. He's a really good drummer, and if you deny that, then you are clearly uneducated.

  • @XxStrongDrums1996xX While I'm not a fan of Blink 182, I don't get the Barker-hate. I never recall the man claiming to be the next Tony Williams, nor have I heard him badmouth other musicians. To me, Barker sounds more technically and stylistically advanced than most drummers playing music similar to Blink 182's.

  • @AndyVintheD I agree entirely. Travis Barker is a very modest musician, and has never once claimed himself to be above another musician. I think that a lot drummer have a big fallacy on what the purpose of a drummer is, and that's why drummers like Travis are bashed. It's not our job to play the most technically advanced and creative grooves in every song; it's our job to properly compliment the music. Travis does just that.

  • @XxStrongDrums1996xX i bet you wanna suck his vagina to......you wouldnt know music if it bit you in the cunt....you fucking retard.....OMFG....what a pussy you are....you are a fucking sour cream chucking scab buffer....good lord....overdose on something, please

  • @XxStrongDrums1996xX you are a total ass hat.

  • @AndyVintheD please hang yourself...do humanity a favor & end yourself

  • barker would kill them both with 1 arm

  • @4against1 You must be sucking Barker's cock, I see a lot of comments from you on Barker's behalf.

  • @4against1 no

  • @4against1 you're ignorant

  • @4against1 if you think barker can do this then you are a bigger cunt than you sound!!!

  • @4against1 Are you shitting me???Barker blows......his name shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence with these 2 great drummers.....Travis Barker....elementary drum skills......

  • @4against1 who the fuck is baker?

  • @lukuntri its not baker its travis BARKER you dipshit retard lol he is only the best fucking drummer of the world you must be 1 of thoise music noobs who thinks that buddy rick is a good drummer all he does is snaire roll go lern somthing dumbass check out travis

  • @4against1 let me ask you a question. what is your favorite band? i will not waste my time you shitface like you.

  • I'm with spacemodulated on his comment although I don't agree with the term jack-off, that's not nice. But CP does have a nasty habit of speeding up. Listen to Karn Evil9 on Brain Salad Surgery album. Why they chose to go with that drum track on that recording is unforgiveable! Maybe after 50 takes, Carl just couldn't get it right and they threw in the towel.

  • You're joking, right?

    One of the greatest of all history compared to one of the most overrated and grooveless jackoff artists to ever pick up a pair of sticks?

    I can name a thousand drummers better than Carl Palmer.

    The dude can barely keep time.

  • Great job on this! Palmer was wise to choose Buddy for his inspiration.

  • neato!

  • I'm guessing since Buddy Rich came first, and

    was the best of his era; that Carl looked to the best

    to emulate - he did with amazing results.

    Once asked on the Johnny Carson show of Buddy Rich

    who he thought the best drummer was, he answered'

    "Carl Palmer."

    enough said!

  • looks like a white machete

  • Ok, then... but what are that song?

  • @Silversword112

    "tank" by ELP

  • I'm new to ELP...what's the name of the intro song...and the song that is being performed?

  • @AlexGSGSGS TANK its from 1st album called by the groups name elp

  • @AlexGSGSGS thats tank

  • did Buddy also played tarkus?

  • Gee, an 18 year old headed for greatness takes a few pointers from one of the best.

    What a crock of shit this accusation is.

  • Here is an example of a Palmer plagerized solo from Rich.

  • theft is the greatest form of flattery!

  • Memories! Buddy, Carl, Cobham then Gadd. Look today we have Martha,Oprah,Schnooki . I need Prozac.

  • For the musically unenlightened...CP is one of the least musical players on the planet.

    Rudiments, rudiments, rudiments.

    Bloody awful.

  • @Easleytee Are you serious? If you're just talking about his own solos, fine, I get it. But when he's playing in a song, he sounds fine!

  • There are worse drummers to copy.

  • Good musicians borrow.

    Great musicians steal.

    Let's just call it 'passing the torch...'

  • where's Carl Palmer in all this? i mean, the vid is "Palmer versus Rich". where's Palmer???? why didn't i see Palmer?

  • @belairjeff You were hearing him.

  • @BlackSabbath86 ahhhh..so i was SEEING Buddy but hearing Carl.

  • @belairjeff 0:11 - 0:22 is the audio from Tank by ELP but the video from Channel One by Buddy Rich. 0:23 - 0:32 is Channel One, then the audio of Tank is mixed in on top until 0:42. Then you've got a fill by Buddy which is alarmingly similar to Carl's in Tank... it's then repeated for clarity.

    So yeah. The video is to highlight the similarities in Carl and Buddy's playing style... with the suggestion that Carl actually stole fills from Buddy.

  • @BlackSabbath86 gotcha. nice work. hard work! for you...thanks.

  • Buddy Rich, and Carl Palmer, were good friends, Buddy gave the young Carl pointers on the snare drum, And Carl sat in with Buddy's band and recorded a tune with them, I saw a clip of Carl saying he dated Buddy's daughter, Hope she did'nt look like Buddy.

  • enigma......

  • SO, I'm not the first one who heard parallels between "Channel One" and "Tank", huh? I heard from a firend the CP actually dated or was engaged to Cathy Rich at some point, but never read anything to confirm that. Here's my take.. Buddy was musically iliterate, so he never charted his drum parts (although Gene Krupa transcribed quite a few of them)...so, maybe CP heard something he liked and used it...so what? Happens all the time. I'm impressed by the fact that he could physically DO it!

  • Nice editing! Nothing to do with drumming - Carl was and is Carl - Buddy was and is Buddy!!

  • if you pay attention closely, thats when you repeat the vid with buddy r. you can tell

    that its not the same. thanks to buddy's school, carl learn and became the best prog drummer ever. He learned classical too. he played the percussions on works that includes the piano concerto no.1 by keith emerson. So this doesnt say anytthing it only shows his influences. listen to toccata and you can tell that elp ey were also in the top with technology.

  • I have better drums than Buddy had...

  • Hey, I've noticed that The Stone Roses' "I Am the Resurrection" and Green Day's "Know Your Enemy" start out with the same drum beat. Does that mean they stole it? Who knows.

  • FAIL!

  • Buddy Rich is my favorite jazz drummer and Keith Moon is the best rock drummer.Carl Palmer is also very good,but there's no one as original as Moon.

  • The Buddy chart is called 'Channel One Suite'. Written for him by Vegas show arranger Bill Reddie around 1966. It is available on a number of recordings both commercial and bootleg as well as in various videos you can find on YouTube.

  • thanks for the let down douche

  • I don't get the controversy in the comments. This is Tank from ELP's first album. CP later redid it in a big band chart for Works vol 1. This arrangement that Buddy's doing appears to be yet another one. As best I can recall I think the Works chart is much better. Buddy should have done that one. But again, Why the controversy. Buddy Rich inspired scores of drummers, Carl included, so the title doesn't make sense. Carl's best work was Pictures at an Exhibition BTW, IMO.

  • Carl Palmer was sometimes referred to as 'the new Buddy Rich.'

  • Buddy Rich was a master as is Carl Palmer. One thing to point out, The equipment Rich used wasn't nearly as advanced as they are now. The sound set ups etc.  In my opinion, that really enhances the legacy of Buddy Rich's work. Carl Palmer takes it to another level in his own right as well. The only way to compare these two is to find something they both have in common.........GREATNESS!

  • What are these 2 songs? I would very much like to have them :)

  • @therealKINDLE well the one from Emerson Lake and Palmer is Tank and im not sure about the one from Buddy's band

  • Hey, if you're going to steal, steal from the best, eh? And frankly, you have to be pretty damn good to steal from Buddy Rich to begin with.

  • I always thought there was some Béla Bartok in ELP's tunes... tank especially.

  • @rhivideo no El Barbaro off "ELP" album was Bela Bartok. Tank was written by Keith. Usually he states the source if its not original

    . Carl's drumming was pure Buddy, as you can see. !

  • i have interviwed carl palmer some years ago...obviously he told me he was very close to buddy rich!!!!

  • Great Parallel! Obviously Buddy was around long before Carl hit the scene.

  • never put carl palmer and buddy rich in the same video together it is dangerous peoples brains will explode!!!

  • obviously whoevers song came first.Both sound like tank to me

  • Comment removed

  • @ anonymusum.....u r incorrect about Basie's piano skills as many folk r! ...go listen to his works of the early Count Basie Orch era, the Blue Devils, & the Bennie Moten Orch.....he was a more than powerful presence at the rent parties &/or cutting contests as well!....go do the homework!!!

  • Hahaha Great !

  • I'll say this, Carl is the ONLY Prog Rock drummer Buddy spoke highly about and that say's a lot!

  • this is brilliant

  • the simularities are incredible..........great video!!

  • and as a follow up, Buddy first did West Side Story before ELP even existed so this is meaningless

  • Buddy and Carl, the 2 best in the world!

  • Carl Palmer is the one with the badly tuned drums I take it

  • damn he looks pissed

  • Ha ha!

    That's pretty cool...showing the same lick note for note

    .....you have got some good ears, my friend, to have picked that out

  • Say Buddy Live in Montreal...what a show...he was sublime...every stoke a note of music...Carl is a different drummer...but the inspiration is there...

  • Sorry Carl..... you're a very good drummer, but no Buddy Rich (who is). Do yourselves a favor and go watch this actual solo here on youtube. It's called "Buddy Rich drum solo at the Hague, 1978..... and it's mind blowing!!

  • @justentime77

    Why should Carl do this? Let him be just himself, as a drummer and an artist. Why do you folks always come up with this versus crap?

  • @anonymusum I didn't come up with it and believe me, there's no comparison. I know, I know it's all subjective right?

  • @justentime77

    Sorry, I did not mean to offend you. I truely believe that in music it´s all about expression, technique is just the tool to get it. Look at Count Basie. Certainly not a brilliant piano player in terms of technical skills but he was a master of swing. So here we are: would it be reasonable to judge or compare him with - let´s say Oscar Peterson? - Carl Palmer would have been the wrong drummer for the BR Big Band as well as Buddy Rich for ELP.

  • @anonymusum None taken and all good points. Like comparing Picaso to Dali.

  • obviously buddy. palmer's my favorite, but he's the original

  • Both absolutely amazing drummers. Too bad Buddy's gone.

  • buddy came firs afcourse but palmer was amazing,still is,great piece of footige from buddy

    but the best steal,emerson was also influenced by the great players(gynastera,larry young...)i learned about jazz through ELP,you couldn't give them a better compliment

  • Palmer had compareable speed, but not the power, or variety of chops that Buddy had. It was master and student.

  • No.

  • yeah, Buddy came first, Palmer awesome also. I think Palmer learned a lot from Buddy and why not? we all do.

  • wow! there both equals!

  • Cool vid!

    Carl and Buddy both were huge influences on my playing as a teen.

  • Wow. A 19 year old in 1970 copped Buddy Rich?  I guess Carl should have waited for a few years and learned from Phil Rudd instead.

  • Phil Rudd isn't worthy of kissing Carl Palmers ass

  • Actually they did play together Carl was in awe of Buddy ! God bless Buddy !

  • And they were friends. Buddy respected Carl's playing, and Buddy didn't like many drummers. He was very critical.

  • Reminds me of an interview with Carl, he said he was driving with Buddy and he slapped in a tape of "Welcome Back My Freinds..." After a while Carl says "so what do you think?" Buddy pauses and then says "what you don't steal, you play very well!"

  • @deltaf106a hahaha

  • Very clever! Palmer definately stole some of Buddy's licks for his 'Tank' solo. I have a Buddy recording from the 50's that has that same section with the pounding bass drum going into the snare rolls. And I'm sure Buddy was influenced by Carl as well since they were friends. Two great drummers. Thanks for posting! 5 stars.

  • Comment removed

  • not a big deal, one part of a song from each that sound similar. they're common riffs for great "jazzy" (which i consider palmer) drummers.

  • Palmer and Rich are my favorite drummers and both have spectacular and unrivaled technique. I have no beef with either guy, and if one plays licks similar to other, who cares? What a treat it was to see Palmer in concert and in clinic. I could care less about playin in the pocket for either of them. Let others keep time, these two are born to blaze.

  • does anyone honestly believe that Buddy ripped off ANYTHING from Carl Palmer? As good as Palmer is from a technical standpoint, his solos consist of licks ripped off from a myriad of jazz drummers, from Buddy, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, etc etc.  As someone else pointed out, he can't groove at all. When he plays straight, simple beats, his time is all over the map (listen to the studio recording of Lucky Man for evidence of this)

  • I love Carl Palmers drumming on things like Tarkus and Karn Evil 9... he's really entertaining to listen to and technically proficient.

    Drumuitar, you correctly point out (and I say this a big fan of Carl), he is absolutely TERRIBLE in the pocket. I had a drum teacher like this once: The guy could play a million polyrhythms, lightning fast rudiments, etc., but if he played a simple beat, it just sounded choppy and awful. Funny how that can happen.

  • @drumuitar No doubt at all.

  • Good job on this one man!!! I've always heard the simularities of Carl and Buddy Rich, but you have done a fine job pin pointing an example with this song.

  • Great job on splicing this video. I'd be interested to know what year that Buddy Rich song came out, because it really does sound a hell of a lot like Tank!

  • Comment removed

  • buddy rich and carl palmer are realy excellent drummers

  • lol

  • I can literally sit for hours listening to CP....

  • @funds450 I hate to break it to you, but CP stands for Child Porn...

  • Who cares which one is faster?  I'd prefer Bill Bruford or Joe Morello over these two any day! If Carl would have concentrated on being more musical rather than a noise bag he'd be in better shape today.

  • Weckl sucks

  • Incredible job you guys did on Free Hand! Excellent taste in music as well!

  • haha well thank you. :D

  • I'm sure you're getting flamed over your comment Vlad, but even as a huge fan of Carl, I agree partially. Carl was horrible at groove playing - I've never heard him do a really great groove even in recent years. But in his own element, he was fantastic (Tarkus, Tank, etc.).

    Bruford and Morello both have delicate touches and deep pockets. I love each of them, despite the fact that much of it is over my head as a drummer. All have been inspirations to me in different ways. :-)

  • this is cool

  • Its stupid. Buddy teaching Carl

  • cool comparison

  • what buddy rich song is that

  • It's called Channel One Suite.

  • enjoy the music...i dont want to found the five cat legg

  • oh by the way all of you commentators, can anyone help?

    Ive a track by Duke Ellington called 'gonna tan youre hide'.. If you have heard this track then youll know how crazy the drum solo is! I want to know who the drummer is and what album it originally came off! Youre help will be life changing! cheers

  • The duke played with so many drummers, really a lot..

    one of the best, in his opinion just died : louie bellson orso...but he recorded with tens of dozens of great drummers...

  • a guess here..Sonny Payne,Charlie Persip..havent heard the tune myself,send me the clip..i'd like to hear it.that would help............tks

  • a clever montage/mix of percussion.. im not going to say who the best drummer is im more up on my prog rock/jazz fusion and not my jazz but i equally enjoyed the drumming whatever genre of music.. cheers for the post gumby10
