What is up with all these travis barker comments?! Very annoying. Who is he anyway that he and buddy rich are being compared so much. Its like when we youtube Muhammad Ali and all you read is people comparing him to mike tyson when tyson shouldnt even be mentioned in the same sentence as Ali.
@mbhotie715 ahahah its soo true (travis is a really good drummer but hes over rated but also really underrated :Phes mroe of a punk drummer though so you are right in using tyson and muhammad as you shouldnt even be comapring them)
@celluoiddify But why is travis always compared to Buddy? I rarely see other comparisons of Buddy and someone else. Its always this travis dude. Seems to me people should be comparing Buddy to drummers like Peart and Bonham, not retards like this barker guy.
@musicluva314 The host's voice is a put on. He is a comedian that made many movies before & after Buddy's career. Jerry Lewis is his name. You're obviously a youngster. Ask your mommy and daddy about. Legendary guys (he & Buddy). And, he doesn't look like John Cryer. John looks a little like him - very little. This clip was produced before Cryer was even a thought.
Men like Papa Joe Jones, Louis Belson, and the Master Himself, Buddy Rich. Buddy's influence and contribution to drumming will probably never be parallelled by anyone, He's in one way or another influenced about ALL of todays greats. I just go on here and see what everone has to offer. There is no "Best" drummer today. There are so many styles of playing, it's like comparing apples to oranges anymore, I just like seeing the talent thats out there, and there's ALOT of it! Let's just enjoy it!
That being said I can honestly say that there is ALOT of talent out there, and thanks to tools like youtube, alot of drummers that would have gone un-noticed can be seen today. Travis Barker is a good drummer, but there are ALOT of good drummers, great ones, like Danny Carey, Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart, Shannon Larkin, Dave Weckl, Dennis Chambers, Simon Phillips and so on. But I must say, the guys who REALLY pioneered and started these drummers on there paths were the men in classic big band...
Ya know, I've been playing drums for almost 30 years, I started when I was 10, learning my rudiments and learning basic reading skills in school, then going through marching band where I got chops with Drum Corps style playing also. I started listening to music from Rush early on and then Dream Theater when Images and words came out. I can play alot of music from both, as well as some jazz too, so I consider myself fairly accomplished and knowledgeable on the subject.
The world is big enough for an array of talented and unique drummers, but for speed and technique in this particular style, few could even begin to approach Buddy- and mostly they'll admit it. The only two drummers in the jazz realm I ever saw that could hold a candle were Max Roach & Tony Williams.
hahaha travis has nothing on buddy rich. jazz drummers are so much more talented then rock/metal drummers. most modern drummers will tell you their influenced by a jazz drummer or were inspired by one. that actually goes for pretty much any instrument actually.
anyone who thinks travis barker is better than buddy rich is the biggest retard on earth. buddy rich is wwaaaaaaaayyyy better than travis barker will ever be. buddy rich, john bonham, keith moon, and neil pert are the godfathers of drums.
@dagurbezisinthemalof yes. he's another one that'll give travis barker "an offer he can't refuse"..... (thats from the Godfather if you didnt know) lol
@bigD2387 john bonham, keith moon, and neil pert are all great drummers. i'm a big of all three, but keith moon is kind of a one trick pony, the same almost applies with the john and neil, but john has sort of a jazzy influence in his style. neil is probably the greatest rock drummer and could probably play some mean jazz or funk, i've just never heard him. some of the earliest grandfathers of drums, besides buddy rich, are steve gadd, elvin jones, and dave black. you should check them out
@drumguy2194 oh i've heard of them. and i would consider Neil Peart (Rush) more of prog rock than actual rock. Rock is Led Zeppelin (John Bonham). and The Who (Keith Moon) is also rock but they aren't really as heavy as Led Zeppelin so therefore I would consider Zeppelin to be Hard Rock....
@bigD2387 i agree, they are all great drummers who were very influencial in their styles of music. and also im glad u didnt list ringo starr in your list of the grandfathers of drums haha
Gentlemen; I present to you THE MASTER. I met Buddy In Georgetown, Washington DC standing on a corner. I will never forget the goosebumps I got just shaking his hand. This is what A LEGEND looks like in any artform. Amazing. I stayed up late nights to watch Johnny Carson when I was a little boy just in case Buddy was on the show. Mastery is Greatness like this. Thanks Mr Rich for showing us a natural.
kids, I have not heard anyone better than Buddy ... just his left hand alone is better than most anyone today ... he was a coacky guy ... but he could back it up !
soooooooooooo why is everybody saying fuck travis barker?? did trvais barker ever say that he was better then buddy rich?? jesus christ its soooo annoying listening to people say he is overrated and shit. He is a great drummer but definitely not the best. Buddy Rich is one of the best. End of story shut the fuck up.
what did Travisbarker4prez say cause it's not showin on my computer but i bet it was pretty gay but yea this is some amazing drumming probably the best iv'e seen in a way
Watched some Travis Barker. Very good drummer and performer. While very gifted, he isn't a Buddy Rich. Mr. Barker should try playing in a coat...something I rarely see today's drummers do...it's very restrictive. Barker is very appealing with a lot of strobe & lights to add to his talent. Will he be considered a ledge 10 years from now...most likely not. Rich is ledge...I doubt any great drummer today would say they are better than Rich.
Dude. Come on. I love Travis Barker as much as the next guy, but this is why people hate him. They look past his actual talent and see the people saying he's better than anyone before him. Which just can't be true. Not as talented or as influential, sorry. He's good, but not the best.
dude look at other drummers besides Travis Barker, he;s good but I don't think he's as good as Buddy Rich, Daniel Erlandson, Joey Jordison, Eric Singer and the late Eric Carr.
hell yeah man well agreed he could kick them all in the ass in his deepest sleep with just a snare drum and not even try, and Joey Jordinson dont even get me started.... he shouldent even be worthy to be in the same universe as buddy rich
NO need for todays huge kits used by modern drummers,who concentrate too much on double bass drum kicks rather than hand talent.Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa proved this. NO lights or smoke effects either.
You understand that Bonham's main influence thats why his set was set up like it was. and he started out playing swing and stuff like buddy. he totally had the chops to play swing.
Well in my opinion he did. But i mean you cant change my mind and i cant change yours so lets leave it at that.... Buddy is amazing and Bonham is amazing as well. plain and simple
I think Jerry is a kind of drummer though or he couldnt have done as good as he did. And he was goofing off and not doing as good as he could. But no one can beat Buddy Rich at drumming he is the King of drummers
This is from a Golden Age of TV in America that is now sadly gone. Nothing even remotely close to this on TV today, not since Ed Sullivan, really. Here we have a chance to see the 2 best in their fields having a great time. This is enteretainment at it's finest. FYI, JL and BR were great friends, and JL is god-father to BR's daughter.
Well, Jerry can't play obviously-lol But, his drum kit was awesome. And, for you folks who say "Buddy wasn't the best", "Gene Krupa" this & "Chic Webb" that. Everybody has different opinions as to who a better drummer was. All the belittling & attacks are just counter-productive. Buddy Rich was a brilliant / awesome / skilled drummer - period.
WOW!!!!!! This is a real gem!! I love the side angle of Buddy, you can see his foot work!! It's rare to see different angle footage being filmed of those days, not only Buddy's solo's but others. And Jerry Lewis can play the drum quite well too, as can Sammy Davis Jr!! Name me a present day actor-entertainer that can do that? No one comes to mind!!
In a friggin' tux no less! Just spellbinding...like Coltrane or Dolphy, or Jaco, just one of a kind...thanks for posting and by the way, there's no way this could be from 1965, because Jerry says to Buddy "Dean, the whole gang" something like that...so it's gotta be before 1956 at least...
This in the day when there were no smooth action bass pedals, and double bass sets were not the norm. Modern day "drummers" need to take a lesson--Get hip with jazz!
Excuse me, this could not have been 1965. More like 1954 or 55. Know why? He said "Dean" wanted to hear Rich. Jerry and Dean broke up in 1955 and did not speak for years.
Hmm. All the later footage I ever saw of Buddy, including here on youtube he's playing Ludwing and when I saw him live in the early 80's he was playing Ludwig in fact Ludwig has issued the "Buddy Rich" signature kit and it's on display at guitar center. I can see the Rogers badge on this video. I think I remember him playing Slingerland for a spell.
Buddy ended his career with a vintage set of Slingerland Radio Kings. He had those for several years prior to his death. He talks about those drums on YT on the Larry King interviews. He had played Slingerland, Ludwig, Rogers and Vox drums in his career.
not sure..ludwig has been pretty popular and has been around since 1910. you can check out 'buddy rich drum company'...whether or not those are the kind of drums he played with..i'm not sure.
These were the days of the real entertainers... they had the talent.... the chops... and they didn't have to swear and kept ALL their clothes on!!!!!

This was the first Buddy Rich video I ever saw a couple years ago. I didn't know playing like that was even possible, it completely blew my mind.

More than likely, this was from "The Colgate Comedy Hour", which Martin and Lewis hosted dozens of times during it's run in the early 1950's...

In a friggin' tux no less! Just spellbinding...like Coltrane or Dolphy, or Jaco, just one of a kind...thanks for posting and by the way, there's no way this could be from 1965, because Jerry says to Buddy "Dean, the whole gang" something like that...so it's gotta be before 1956 at least...

This in the day when there were no smooth action bass pedals, and double bass sets were not the norm. Modern day "drummers" need to take a lesson--Get hip with jazz!

Excuse me, this could not have been 1965. More like 1954 or 55. Know why? He said "Dean" wanted to hear Rich. Jerry and Dean broke up in 1955 and did not speak for years.

You're right MarkR. I just went and saw a video here of Buddy in the early 70's and he's playing Slingerland.

Whoop's...different video. It's the one with him battling Krupa that you can see the Rogers badge. I can't tell what this kit is.
justentime66 4 years ago
Hmm. All the later footage I ever saw of Buddy, including here on youtube he's playing Ludwing and when I saw him live in the early 80's he was playing Ludwig in fact Ludwig has issued the "Buddy Rich" signature kit and it's on display at guitar center. I can see the Rogers badge on this video. I think I remember him playing Slingerland for a spell.

In those day's Buddy played Leedy drums and switched to Ludwig in the early 70's and played them from there on out.

Buddy ended his career with a vintage set of Slingerland Radio Kings. He had those for several years prior to his death. He talks about those drums on YT on the Larry King interviews. He had played Slingerland, Ludwig, Rogers and Vox drums in his career.
