[HeavyOpera1]

...is it possible that pretty much EVERY drum related video has been polluted by some comment related to Travis Barker? Who is this person?

[4against1]

@HeavyOpera1 travis plays for blink 182 he is conseidered one of the best if not best all round drummers in the world dude

[HeavyOpera1]

@4against1 I was not aware of that, and it wasn't apparent from his playing

[HeavyOpera1]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one to notice the Paiste cymbal. Does sound great.

THE MAN LOVED HIS WORK, DAMN !!

[zerekx]

another thing, his band is so white, anyone have any insight on this?

[zerekx]

his main ride sounds sweet!!

[jdrum12]

Buddy's hi-hat playing was an art in itself.

[RJiminez51]

@jdrum12 you are so right., i wish i could hang out with you

Before Buddy pasted away he started playing any drums or cymbals that suited his fancy. The kit is a restored Radio King kit with 26" kick drum by the guy who owns the Eames drum company. I guess he like that Paiste ride cymbal ... its sounds sweet to me ... is it a Formula 602? Also Buddy always played what he wanted remember the Fibes snare drum on the cover of one of his 70's albums when he was a Slingerland endorser.

When I was a kid living in California I saw him perform live many times at Disneyland. He was the greatest inspiration. We still love you Buddy. Check out my tributes to him on here (a few short drum solos of mine). To all the rock drummers out there, don’t lose touch with the past. There are many things to learn from the rich heritage all those jazz drummers left us “back in the day”. Richard Gray

God Buddy Rich gave his all in every performance. Saw him around this time and even tho he was aging he was fabulous!

[rayjr62]

I'm assuming this concert was sometime in 1984 (I guess right after Basie's death, in late April of that year).

[acedrumminman]

The fill at 6:47...just great.

[robulrich]

this vid follows a crazy solo split into two videos around youtube....this guy is unreal

[PeteMazzoli]

Funny how every drummer Wants to know why its not a Zildjian lol

[JLRappa]

Hahaha!

[timeoutfourtwo]

I have this whole concert on video. Amazing! And for some reason he is playing a PAISTE ride cymbal.

[acedrumminman]

hey man, I'd love to have this vid...have many others of the man to trade...give me a shout!!!

[giosmrbig]

Kick It Steve...That Man Can Swing!

After some thought, it appears Buddy was urged to come out for an encore, even though he'd removed his sweat-soaked clothes. He appeared tired, breathy, and needed a drink of water, but he was willing to play "one more time..." and honor his recently departed friend, Count Basie. A class act even in a robe...

[NorthernPlus]

@GFLJOboss Glad you explained the situation. My comment should be obvious.

Basie died in April of 1984, so this must be shortly thereafter. I remember a story about Buddy getting to a job, but his luggage did not and he had to play out of "uniform" - not sure if this is the gig.

[acedrumminman]

Plays the Hi-hats with such grace, time and feel...the best big band drummer, knows when to play only for the band...check him out with Harry's band back in 64...whole other style.

[drummer78]

What year was this?  Seems to be around 1982 or so. I wonder what the story is regarding playing in a bathrobe.

[meshuggahbobo]
