FOR ALL THE ASS HOLES WHO THINK THE ASS HOLE DRUMMERS OF TODAY CAN PLAY BETTER THEN MY BEST FRIEND BUDDY RICH ,AND NOT BECAUSE HE WAS MY FRIEND, HE WAS THE BEST AND STILL IS THE MASTER YES, PEOPLE SAY I PLAY LIKE HIM BUT NEVER WILL I BE HIM ?NEVER HE WAS MY TEACHER, SO TO ALL THE ASS HOLES REMEMBER BUDDY RICH WAS AND IS THE MASTER FOR US AND ALL TO COME,,MR DRUMS PHIL AMBROS
If you go back and watch earlier clips of his solos when he was young, he relied mostly on speed, where here, in his 60's, he really gets the drums "talking". Speed is still there.......but he is "playing" them here! Note how he carries the West Side theme into the solo after the brass sits down. Extremely talented individual. One we will probably never see the likes of for a looooong time.
@southernbrooklyngal i think you mean buddy roache not max roache dumb ass have you ever herd of a guy who plays for blink named travis barker he is 1 of the best young drummers today dude
@4against1 nah you are the dumb ass if you don't know drummer max roach, asshole, fuck travis "overrated" barker, learn about music before you talk shit
Neil Peart is and will forever be my favorite drummer, but I definitely know that Rich is the best drummer of all time and was more-than-likely Peart's influence.
Those fucking guys haven't a clue as to how to rate a drummer.
Travis Barker my ass..he shouldn't even be mentioned along side Buddy Rich..
Old School..there is no subsitute..anyone learning drums can do triplets, look grubby and have flare; that seems to be today's top priority in modern drumming.
@chuckiesfest21 What are you blind and watched 2 seconds of the video? He just doesn't hit the snare. You should watch the whole video and find out that the he hits every part of the fucking drumset. Go fucking listen to your cheap green day and blink 182. You don't shit about him. He does faster rolls with his left hand than you could with both. Get out of here you 10 year old troll.
I saw Buddy live on his last tour of the UK when i was 15; I've also seen Neil Peart live about 3 years ago.
I like both drummers; but Buddy was just better in that he was so fluid and fast.
I've seen a video of Travis Barker; It was pretty boring I'm sorry to say in my opinion he is just a pop drummer - not even in the same class as the other two... he had a good light show though... ;)
"good call dude ofcorse travis can own this guy" Move along troll. Everyone knows the only thing Barker can own of Rich, is a pair of Buddy's sticks he bought on ebay.
""good call dude ofcorse travis can own this guy"" HAHAHAHA The only thing Barker can own of Rich is a pair of Buddy's sticks he bought on ebay. Move along troll
@liveinky2 good call dude ofcorse travis can own this guy you know what you are talking about dude this guys just a fucking snair player travis is more of a set player dude
@Travisbarker4prez Even if buddy was "just a snare player" He is more talented with JUST a snare drum, then Barker will ever be with 10 kits. Travis Barker would bitch slap you for even referencing his name in the same sentence as buddy rich.
"I prefer Jo Jo Mayer", "Neil Peart is better" and finally "Travis Barker brings a whole new level of sportsmanship and flair to drumming."
To all those who made those comments, and many more, where the fuck do you think these guys got their influences from? Buddy, Gene, Philly Jo, Joe Morello etc.
Maybe some of your guys have progressed and taken drumming to another level, but you can always trace their drumming roots back to the old school guys.
@drums4hire Not only that....they're out of their fucking mind's! Travis is a good drummer, not great, Neil idolizes Buddy and would be the first to say he doesn't have anything near the natural skill, fast hands or most importantly..... feel! Jo Jo is amazing and reminds me a lot of Buddy and truly one of the greats! As is Whekl, Caliauta, Chambers, Jimbo, Gadd and so many other drummers famous for being so, not just because they're in a flavor of the day 'Pop Band'.
My music professor was playing the trumpet with Buddy that day. He's basically obscured by Buddy the whole time but you can see if you know who to look for. I'm so envious of the fact that he not only got to see him play but actually played with him.
If you want to know just how good Buddy really was, just ask ANY established drummer today what they think of him... Without question one of the best drummers EVER! Hell, one of the best MUSICIANS ever!
Like it or not Mr Rich was is , were,& be 4ever ,one of the best player, composer and highest reference point in drumming ,and music history EVER . Get ejucated morons.(xcuse my poor english).!!!!
Buddy looks robust and beefy here. when i saw him not too long before he passed, he was very thin and sickly looking. but man, all the same, he still thundered like Zeus!
Travis is king my son. He is simply king of drums & drummers everywhere. Bonham? Yeah. Lars Ulrich? Yeah. Buddy Rich? Well, the days of $1.99 Vegas all-you-can-eat, Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Johnny Carson buffets are over. Goodbye to those schmaltz cigars, broads, neon lights, kitsch rat pack big band flim flam.

WWTBD? What Would Travis Barker Do?
That's the question.
Answer: he wouldn't be fricken' hunched over his snare for an hour hogging the whole show from other musicians and doing the same fracking solo for the whole night for 20 years and stuff. WTF?
Get out of the 1980s and whatever. Pick up Modern Drummer and see the phenomenal huge hit for a long time Travis Barker & crew.
Travis snare solos, upside down solos, whole set solos, etc.
@JoeJacari You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Rich incorporated the whole kit into his solos on a regular basis. Just search for his performance on The Muppet Show where he has a drum battle with Animal if you want the easiest and quickest example to find.
We're not stuck in the 80s just because we love Buddy Rich. There is still no one to this day that can match his sheer power, speed, groove, feel and technique, AND lead some of the greatest bands to ever exist in music.
@JoeJacari Travis Barker is a circus performance, which is fine in and of itself. It's a completely different form of entertainment and there's no point in comparing it to Buddy Rich, or jazz in general for that matter. It's not just about his solo. Every musician in this kind of music gets his or her solo spot, so why do you think Buddy is hogging the stage when he takes his solo? Seems to me Barker is the one being the hog in that scenario. I think you simply don't get it, but that's okay.
@JoeJacari travis is garbage compared to todays drummers anyways. Buddy is the BEST. EVER. but today, there are SOOO many better drummers. heres a few.
Mike Portnoy, The REV (even though hes dead, RIP), Lars Ulrich, Neil Peart, Shawn Drover, Robb Reiner, Nicko McBrain, Jeff Bowders, and SOOOOO much more. and if u still think ANY of those drummers are better then Buddy Rich, u obviously know NOTHING about drumming.
I say we all go on all of travis barkers shitty videos and post a bunch of comments saying how he sucks and buddy destroys him, see how those travis fanboys like it.
This dude's OK. Travis Barker brings a whole new level of sportsmanship and flair to drumming.
I only wish Buddy were around to see he legacy handed over to Travis Barker and the new guard of super modern enduro-type drummers that add existing technologies a and advances in drum technique to an already established baseline of jazz and rock standards.
Fine. Let Travis Barker ascend the highest pinnacle and steps of the great pyramids of history's best drummers with history as his witness.
@JoeJacari Are you serious? ''This dude's OK.'' What!? You're talking about Buddy Rich man. Travis Barker can rage hard and (especially) fast on his drum all day and flair (flair!?) but it's not with Blink 182 or any other pop commercial kinda stuff that he's making history of music. Nobody will care about those money making teenage band in 50 years, but Budy Rich made classics at music that people care. Pop (which includes punk and rock) is just instant money making industry. You must be joking
@kkitkatsuprem epic fail dude travis barker is the king of the fucking drums maybe you should read up on new drummers and not just blindly worshep theise dinosors from the early 80s or something i bet you still were loafers and white undies what a dumbass
@travisBrulzz Lol oh my god you are rejectin every parcel of history if I understan now. No mater if this guy OWNED his drum, it isnt imprtant to you because its sooo old, meh, 80s, what the fuck? So Bach was retarded to write music (and write history) in 1700s. Nobody care also about Miles Davis. And those guys who didnt forged pop music, you know, um.. the Beatles? Nobody care about that becase they were all SO retarded, after all, they didnt had Travis Barker's ''flair and sportsmanship''
@travisBrulzz Maybe I wouldn't think you are a blind Travis' fanboy punk-rock addict and intelligible music ignorant if you didn't had ''travisBrulzz'' as a nickname.....
I love how I can't watch one single video of a drum solo, without someone mentioning Travis Barker. Seriously if people really hate him so much, don't listen to Blink 182 and don't watch his videos. I don't care for mexican food, but I don't order a burger and say "Man this burger is so much better than any burrito!" I don't know why people compare them either, it's all about playing music you enjoy and doing what you love. I didn't realize it was suddenly a contest.
@icame2dance1 ...and I like Whoppers better than Big Macs - but either one is PERFECT when I'm hungry! The only drumming contest that warrants any merit is the personal one - where each day you strive to out do what you did the day before and HOPE that someone notices enough to comment on it!
@HardRockDrummer666 I like big bac's better (though the new buck doubles are pretty damn amazing). But yeah music isn't about being the 'best' it's about doing your best.
The reason everyone likes Travis Barker is because his drumming, that he writes sounds awsome but still goes along with the song, AND he makes his beats look good by the way he plays it. Travis is a great drummer like it or not. But he still doesnt have the skill level as Buddy Rich

What's wrong with Travis Barker fanboys? Seriously, I'm 15 and know that Buddy Rich wasn't "some old guy", he was, is and always will be the most influential and talented drummers to grace the earth. He made drumming what it is today, if there was no Buddy, there would be no Barker.
If any drummer is younger than Buddy and myself (68), and they're still doing rim shots....You can bet that they are standing on Buddy's shoulders, no matter how good they are!!!
"Here is a guy who could sing back to me detailed sections of a modern Schonberg piece after hearing it once! And you guys want to talk about how FAST he was or how many notes he could play per second?"- Freddie Gruber about Buddy to Drum Channel
"Here is a guy who could sing back to me detailed sections of a modern Schonberg piece after hearing it once! And you guys want to talk about how FAST he was or how many notes he could play per second?"- Freddie Gruber to Drum Channel
I can't understand this obsession some people seem to have with Travis Barker, I guess I'd better go check out his stuff before i make any conclusions.lol.
Good lord... I saw him twice: in '83 (Cleveland; the best one of the two: made me cry when he did the cymbal thing (that he also does here) it was so heavy...) and in '86 in New Haven right before he died. Say what you want about him being a prick (and he ~was~ one, tho' I love the 'bus tapes' as much as anybody ;): the simple fact is that he killed the shit...
Again! A Buddy Rich video with alot of Travis "shithead" Barker comments on it. Let's take a moment to think about how Buddy Rich would respond on the fact that people say that Travis is better or as good than him. Like everybody else he'd probably say: KISS MY MOTHERFUCKING DICK!
@glancer27 Drums aren't a melodic instrument for starters, it's impossible to have a melodic structure on the drums unless of course they're tuned to some sort of modal scale. So while you may be defending Buddy Rich, you're doing it wrong, and making yourself look like an idiot.
the bass player yawned LOL! poor bastard probably so tired already with buddys' drum solos (or the relentless touring) haha! well if i was the bass player i will never get tired of the man.
I saw him play live in an intimate club setting around this time. The "thing" that struck me immediately was that his talent never faded. He continued to improve his technique over a very long career... always tweaking.
Easy to see why Neil Peart cites him as an influence.... don't know how old Buddy was when he filmed this but he wipes the floor with almost any other drummer I can think of
im soo tired of seeing all these retards saying that travis is better than buddy clearly they dnt kno anything...buddy is a legend best drum player dead or alive point blank
@xXDkillaxX829 Travis Barker is a 35 year old man that started drumming in the 80's. Buddy Rich is a 91 year-old drummer that started drumming in the late 1910's. Who do you think is better? Well, by now probably Travis as far as speed, but Buddy Rich has at least triple the experience. I know buddy died 23 years ago, I'm just referring to him if he was still alive.
@xXDkillaxX829 I agree. I am one of travis' biggest fans period, but he is not the legend like Buddy Rich or Niel Peart. He will go down as one of the most popular drummers in history though because of his unique drive to branch off into more genres of music than almost any drummer. He is more than qualified as a great drummer, but as much as I hate to admit it, he is not qualified as a legend yet. Buddy, Peart, Krupa... those guys changed drumming forever. Travis just made it his own.
@blue44blink182 dude get real travis can smash this old man in a fucking drum off this guy cant last 15 seconds with travis what the fucking r u taking about dumbass
@brakatt two things: 1. check your grammar before you try to degrade another person you don't know and have no affiliation with, ... "what the fucking r u talking about"... makes you sound very unintelligent. 2. Why would you swear and yell at a complete stranger?
You're 15 years old - I've been playing for 30 years. I'M better than Travis Barker and I still have to catch up to Buddy's playing. Yes yes, I know, you think older people are dumb and don't know good music. But, is it possible you're not able to comprehend what Buddy is doing? What did you watch, ONE Buddy Rich video? You have no idea, kid. Maybe you ought to write Travis and ask him who he thinks is better - you'll be surprised.
then post a fucking video of u bein better than travis ashole talk is fucking cheap dude travis can wail on this guy coz all he plays are fucking snair solos that sound like shit travis is more of a groove drummer
i watched a ytavis barker vid and wtf!!!! It was friken boring, he didn't go fast or anything he just hitall the drums randomly!! R u people blind!!! Buddy rich is thegod of drumming travis barker probably isn't even in the top 30 best drummers..... U 13 year olds r crazy!!! Rofl I'm 14 =D
Oh yeah, I'm ABSOLUTELY sure he would. You don't know anything about drumming. And jazz takes so much more skill than punk. You don't know what you're talking about. Travis Barker doesn't play half as well as buddy did. Don't disgrace him by saying that.
@maynardwaltrip This is the comment I'd have to agree with most. Absolutely astounding player, but definitely has that "You guys can kiss my..." look the whole time.
My personal top two favorites are John Bonham and Buddy Rich. Bonham used to be my #1 until I discovered Buddy Rich. I feel kind of guilty about it because Bonham was my favorite for years. I'm not a drummer though. I just go by what I hear and like what I like.
someone told me that apparently, buddy was known to be an arrogant person. is this true?

@JoeJacari Travis Barker is a circus performance, which is fine in and of itself. It's a completely different form of entertainment and there's no point in comparing it to Buddy Rich, or jazz in general for that matter. It's not just about his solo. Every musician in this kind of music gets his or her solo spot, so why do you think Buddy is hogging the stage when he takes his solo? Seems to me Barker is the one being the hog in that scenario. I think you simply don't get it, but that's okay.

@JoeJacari travis is garbage compared to todays drummers anyways. Buddy is the BEST. EVER. but today, there are SOOO many better drummers. heres a few.
Mike Portnoy, The REV (even though hes dead, RIP), Lars Ulrich, Neil Peart, Shawn Drover, Robb Reiner, Nicko McBrain, Jeff Bowders, and SOOOOO much more. and if u still think ANY of those drummers are better then Buddy Rich, u obviously know NOTHING about drumming.

This dude's OK. Travis Barker brings a whole new level of sportsmanship and flair to drumming.
I only wish Buddy were around to see he legacy handed over to Travis Barker and the new guard of super modern enduro-type drummers that add existing technologies a and advances in drum technique to an already established baseline of jazz and rock standards.
Fine. Let Travis Barker ascend the highest pinnacle and steps of the great pyramids of history's best drummers with history as his witness.
JoeJacari 1 year ago
@JoeJacari Are you serious? ''This dude's OK.'' What!? You're talking about Buddy Rich man. Travis Barker can rage hard and (especially) fast on his drum all day and flair (flair!?) but it's not with Blink 182 or any other pop commercial kinda stuff that he's making history of music. Nobody will care about those money making teenage band in 50 years, but Budy Rich made classics at music that people care. Pop (which includes punk and rock) is just instant money making industry. You must be joking

I love how I can't watch one single video of a drum solo, without someone mentioning Travis Barker. Seriously if people really hate him so much, don't listen to Blink 182 and don't watch his videos. I don't care for mexican food, but I don't order a burger and say "Man this burger is so much better than any burrito!" I don't know why people compare them either, it's all about playing music you enjoy and doing what you love. I didn't realize it was suddenly a contest.

The reason everyone likes Travis Barker is because his drumming, that he writes sounds awsome but still goes along with the song, AND he makes his beats look good by the way he plays it. Travis is a great drummer like it or not. But he still doesnt have the skill level as Buddy Rich

What's wrong with Travis Barker fanboys? Seriously, I'm 15 and know that Buddy Rich wasn't "some old guy", he was, is and always will be the most influential and talented drummers to grace the earth. He made drumming what it is today, if there was no Buddy, there would be no Barker.

@glancer27 Drums aren't a melodic instrument for starters, it's impossible to have a melodic structure on the drums unless of course they're tuned to some sort of modal scale. So while you may be defending Buddy Rich, you're doing it wrong, and making yourself look like an idiot.

@xXDkillaxX829 Travis Barker is a 35 year old man that started drumming in the 80's. Buddy Rich is a 91 year-old drummer that started drumming in the late 1910's. Who do you think is better? Well, by now probably Travis as far as speed, but Buddy Rich has at least triple the experience. I know buddy died 23 years ago, I'm just referring to him if he was still alive.
BeezleBoy 1 year ago
@xXDkillaxX829 I agree. I am one of travis' biggest fans period, but he is not the legend like Buddy Rich or Niel Peart. He will go down as one of the most popular drummers in history though because of his unique drive to branch off into more genres of music than almost any drummer. He is more than qualified as a great drummer, but as much as I hate to admit it, he is not qualified as a legend yet. Buddy, Peart, Krupa... those guys changed drumming forever. Travis just made it his own.

You're 15 years old - I've been playing for 30 years. I'M better than Travis Barker and I still have to catch up to Buddy's playing. Yes yes, I know, you think older people are dumb and don't know good music. But, is it possible you're not able to comprehend what Buddy is doing? What did you watch, ONE Buddy Rich video? You have no idea, kid. Maybe you ought to write Travis and ask him who he thinks is better - you'll be surprised.
