Buddy Rich 1970 solo (FULL VERSION)

[toth1971]

great is an understatement.

brilliant is not good enough.

fantastic is near the point.

but THE GOD of drums is near enough.

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD WHY THE HELL HAS THIS VIDEO GOT 13,050 VIEWS AND TRAVIS BARKER WHO IS SHIT GOT 13 MILLION. MAKES ME WANT TO SPIT BLOOD.

[cadaverr]

Beautifully said.

[JLRappa]

Amazing. My favorite drummer. I even made a tribute to him. RIP

[NellsStuff]

I wonder how many calories be burned doing those solos... That poor mic got taken out, too! That guy was just nuts...

[dorianstentorian]

p.s. Having blagged your 1970 drum solo, I felt duty-bound to return the favour. So enclosed is the man and his band with a number he often played as an encore - the uplifting "Love For Sale" - enjoy!

[dorianstentorian]

You've done it again! Having seen the great man several times in the Seventies (usually from just two feet away) I was always disappointed that his records and TV performances rarely contained great solos. But this is TOP CLASS Buddy!

[Toumbid]

lol

[nin4lifefan]

ITS CRAZY HOW SIMPLE HIS SET

[dorianstentorian]

...IS? Yeah. Buddy always said all he needed was thebasic kit. And apart from a "Syndrum" he had one year - for a laugh - and that extra floor tom-tom (which was mostly there just to hold his towel) his superb kit WAS just basic...

[mongoosepigeonlord]

Incredible speed and power, however not necessarily something that I hugely want to listen to. While technically amazing, I would much rather listen to joe morello, who has a much more melodic approach to his solos. No disrespect to buddy though, he will always be seen as one of, if not the greatest drummer to ever live.

[digitaldown]

I agree. joe morello is more fun to listen to. though both are stone cold off the hook amazing. i just like joe morello's style better. just something about the way he plays. if anything i'd say buddy plays with more intensity power, while joe plays with more finesse

[yoshirulz12]

He is most certainly a master of his craft! Freaking awesome!

[tetsuyaofdeath]

Never seen a drummer position a snare like that.... nuts!

[moorigs]

Absolutely amazing for sure, Buddy was simply the best drummer period.....

[DanDelvis]

wish I could have given more than 5 stars. Buddy's hands were sent from god. If you get a chance listen to my 4 tunes. thanks Dan

[integral]

Oh. My. God.

I just had an eargasm

[GoinCreekin]

Whoo!!

[XOkie]

Amazing drummer. One of the best ever.

[AsumaBob]

holy shit

[djdevine59]

The master. In full glory. Please..............

[DrumBum561]

look at him go! 4:47-5:30

[wifebeater77777]

wut a hardcore slant on the snare, i guess it helps with traditional style

[soldout99]

i would say that someday i could do that, but then i realised that no one can even got close to the pure drumming tallent that is buddy rich

[nycboyforlife]

All I can say is WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!! You have heard of the seven wonders of the World well Buddy is the 8th wonder. Never seen anything like him. Absolutely fucking amazing !! Did I say amazing !!!! lol

[4EVAFT]

BUDDY RICH THE KING!

[Zorn76]

Beautiful.

[bgrocock99]

1000000 % perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!11

[DrummerBoyJustin]

love that crazy second line beat at 3:40

[pastryhat]

yeah, if you use traditional grip its nearly impossible to play a rim shot with the snare tilted towards you.

[nemrac76]

Gadd could do it. Gadd could do anything!

[MarkR1957]

It's amazing to me how many so called "drummers" always wonder why guys like Buddy tilted their snare away from them.

No drummer who uses traditional grip would ever ask such a question ~

[TheDirectorofFoo]

I always wondered why but I figured out why when my teacher taught me traditional grip. I'm just more comfortable with matched grip.

[wifebeater77777]

wow u must be really good at drumming u loser, stop flaming on youtube

[DrummerBoyJustin]

ya i like this version better then the not full version

[XnecrosadisticX]

Greatest drummer ever to live. But why does he have his snare angled down like that?

[cadaverr]

Gravity, my friend (at least thats what guys ike Dick Cully say). That angle helps the stick to get more momentum from gravity as they're more down atracted. It helps with the bounce, I guess.

[XnecrosadisticX]

Ohhhh I see.

[chinesespiders]

Blown away. The depth of Buddy's sound is truly mindblowing.

[MrTamaguy]

That's just sick.

[zzprimeguy]

Most amazing drummer I have ever witnessed....Was around 1970 at the Esquire Show Bar in downtown Montreal..A performance I have never stopped talking about up to now July 2009..Thanks for that great perfomance Buddy...RIP my friend!

[scabeba]

That Slingerland 8 up 8 down COW snare sounds fantastic... much better than the Fibes snare he used later. I had the pleasure of seeing Buddy perform 3 times. Once was at a High Scool gym in Virginia. After the show, I walked up directly behind the bass drum and was completely suprised to see an old WELL worn Rogers swiv o matic pedal w/wood beater behind a shiny new Slingerland kit. With the help of youtube, we are all now getting the chance to see how good Buddy really was. Thanks Cadaverr!

[potstillbill]

For sheer stamina alone it's amazing. Buddy musta been what? 52? 53? Sittin in what musta been a very stuffy environment wearing what he is wearing and pumping out one of the greatest, if not THE greatest drum rolls in history....

In-fucking-credible.

[drummerboycraig]

5:43

fucking amazing control there

BUDDY RICH: 2nd TO NONE

[toth1971]

this solo and 1978 are the best on the whole of you tube, period.

[tokenup1]

i just realized he hits the mic at 45 sec. and actually looks up not once but twice whilst in the midst of some crazy technical shit

[tokenup1]

i love the smug smile hes got on his face at 3:05 hes just like 'yea im killin it'

[DiobloHunter]

Amazing.

[JLRappa]

he is fantastic

[Anonyomus]

this guy would do the job in bands like Dark Funeral, 1349 etc. easily :D

[m4r1lynm4n50n]

for sure...

and even with 60 years old...

[neilp77]

This is one of my favorite solos Buddy ever did. The added footage was like ear candy to me! Great job, Cadaverr! They are many great drummers out there, whom many of them are great readers with mind boggling double strokes, great double bass prowless, independant limb techniques, and such, but I don't give a damn what anybody says, Buddy's playing and style was miles ahead of anybody who ever the drums! He was relentless in his quest of playing to perfection. His single strokes were the best!

[cadaverr]

Buddy was, without a shadow of doubt, the GREATEST technician to ever sit on a drum set. Those rolls and how effortless, beautiful, clean, loud and fast they are are from the outer space. Everything is so incredibly fluid. I've never seen anything like this solo until this very day. Those rolls have feelings. Every drummer that ever loved his snare should cry of joy. Its almost like a cartoon. Not real.

[matyiasz]

oh my god, i don't believe what i just saw!

amazing

[OldSchoolDrummer101]

amazing. why did the other videos of this vanish and have parts cut out? anyone?

[rolig95]

wow

[66drummer]

Also, and I say this out of complete affection for BR and his family, but this particular rug is even funnier than most he wore.

I tell myself it was to curb the amount of sweat falling onto the snare.

[66drummer]

Count my vote. Still the best, ever, in my view.

I was lucky enough to see Buddy in 85, and even in his last days he stood miles above anyone else.

[MarkR1957]

This solo is from my favorite era of Buddy's career - 1966-1972.

He is in his absolute prime here, and I don't care what anyone says, you will never see a better example of power, control, speed, dynamics, phrasing, musicality, and just sheer drumset dominance as witnessed in this video.

This is Buddy, The World's Greatest, at his Greatest.

Brilliant, Superb, Astounding, and without peer ~

[cadaverr]

I have to agree. This time period seems to be really "without peer". I can notice that Buddy had slowed down considerably from the beginning of the 80's and on. Probably due to his many heart attacks. However, I could also see an increasing musical genius (if thats even possible) as he got older, as to say that he was there to compensate for the less fast-forward BR version back in the 80's. People got a not so fast B. but had him even more brilliant musicaly speaking. Fantastic hat playing.

[MarkR1957]

Man, Buddy's singles sound like everyone else's buzz roll.

Incredible speed AND unmatched control ~

[MarkR1957]

Buddy Rich is not open to discussion or dispute any longer. To dispute hHis other-worldly abilities is a waste of time.

The absolute Greatest of us all, for all time.

End of story. Case closed ~

[bgrocock99]

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT,SIR.

[moorigs]

Well, said, BR was simply the best and will always be the best period

[darkkaos92]

i cant agree anymore then that he truely is the best.

[JeffDeBiase]

Cadaverr YOU ROCK THE HOUSE!!! I got your message. I was always curious to see the full version of this. And now I can die happy! I guess we have to thank modern drummer, Hudson music, and most of all YOU for posting ir. You da man!

[cadaverr]

You're welcome! I'm very glad you've enjoyed it. This is like those other Buddy clips: It always teaches you about... hmmm... Humility. Heh. Doesn't matter how good you are, you just can drool over his savant mindblowing genius. This is all a blur effect from this non-stop link betwen his godlike brain and unbelievable hands. Whatever was thought it was instantly translated into his hands. Genius. Period. Thank you very much again! : ]

[DizzyJee]

Ive seen this video [and the old version] so many times, plus four years experience in drumming... and every time i watch this video i am even more mesmorised by Buddy than i was the previous time.

Its absoloutly amazing and everybody should know how to and want to apreciate this kind of dedication.

R.I.P Buddy Rich, a truly talented guy.

[cadaverr]

Well said. Highly agreed. The more u get to observe with your eyes and ears, the more you'll understand his subtle GENIUS. There is immense musicality and touch in everything this man has played. This solo is among his most astonishing demonstrations ever caught on tape though. Everything has a brilliant sense of swing, everything has a musical function. Every phrase, little pause, every power spent into an specific press roll and for how much time it was executed...Everything is just brilliant.

[enricoloz]

Se sei un batterista non puoi non innamorartene...

[MiguelDeCorella]

BOTA PAU!!!

[maalth]

Words can't describe how good Buddy was! Lots of people don't know what they're missing.

[OldSchoolDrummer101]

cadaverr!!!!! this video is the best! i remember when it had over a million views then vanished... now its back with a FULL version!

thanks for the post

[cadaverr]

Glad you liked it! This was really vanished some months ago. Really a shame. I've found this full version and I couldn't help myself: I knew HAD to upload it. Buddy was (is!) the be(a)st!

[OldSchoolDrummer101]

it is my favorite vidoe of him, i was pissed when it vanished. so again thanks

did u see me pwn some noobs in the 3 way drum off? ahahahahhaha i cried it was so funny

[cadaverr]

Hahah no I didn't, but I'm gonna check it out! : ] have you ever seen superior stick control in your life? cleaner, faster and more complex executions and superior rudimental musicality? I surely haven't. Concerning the upload, never mind. We're all buddy fans. I just do what I'd love others could do for me (as far as drumming videos go). You're very welcome : ]

[OldSchoolDrummer101]

well im just hope we can all enjoy it, I hate when some dick comes along like travisburzz or w/e and fucks things up. poop on u travisblurzz : P

[cadaverr]

We will. Such simple/miserable life form will not be tolerated here, simply because such simplistic creatures are not able to produce an articulated discourse to make themselves inteligible (lol). Things such as "trevis wood pwn da 'ol dud" and other examples are barely recognizable as language after all. : ] These low-lives will be kept far away from here, where they can freely practise their barbaric bestiality. You can rest asured of that. Travis B. fans are the AIDS of the drumming world.

[denbatt]

cheers for posting man,

[cadaverr]

You're welcome! : ]

[kingmajin]

awesomeness. i love buddy rich.

[drummerdude6485]

he, buddy is the best!
