The Muppet Show - Buddy Rich vs Animal Drum Battle

[DEIVHOOK]

awesome!!!

[butterch1cken]

I think it is safe to say that animal won.

[Cheeseonpieassassin]

Buddy Rich...Ruddy Bitch?

[Rabindrums4life]

Legend!!!!!!!

[StevenLJohnson]

Animal... animal?

[maggedude]

Buddy rich would be nothing if it was Buddy Rich at the other kit

[32bevula]

We got an awesome drummer there, folks-- and Buddy Rich ain't too bad either.

[greenlantern191]

Go Animal!

[Superstarseven]

The Muppets haven't been property of the Henson Company since '04 when Disney bought them. Someone who's been exclusively been uploading Muppet videos should've known that in 2008.

[insatiableTy]

Buddy is a musical God there hasn't been anyone on his level since he died. RIP Buddy Rich

[Holloway6151975]

Who controls animal really? I know he is a muppet so who controls or plays for him?

[Holloway6151975]

@Holloway6151975

never mind Ronnie "Animal" Verrell

@2:44 animal has that look on his face like he just want to say .....MASTER MASTER....ANIMAL NUMBER 2 BEST

[Jonbo117]

i would seriously watch the Disney channel if this kinda shit was shown

[mindsikmuzik]

Animal is so hot.

[b0gster]

I was cheering for Animal but I got to admit he lost this one

[ever17585]

Animal Rules..!

[LSMHMOVIES]

Animal is just so much better because he is a muppet..............thumbs up for animal!! :D

[APHATMAND]

Travis Barker is nowhere near the best drummer in modern times. I would give that title to the Rev

[ChrisYoung1989]

@APHATMAND Except he's dead.

[ChrisYoung1989]

@APHATMAND except he's dead

[Jonbo117]

@APHATMAND Ur fuckin stupid.

[deathslayer101]

i can do that... here, hold my beer...

[acovino89]

Buddy Rich > Travis Barker

[martin84125]

@ 4against1 what are u? 13yo and only got one hand me down cd? if u are as ignorant as u seem , shut the fuck up

[gaiseric666king]

morons who like barker and jordison (even if i like slipknot) must pay tribute for those drummers that are part of music history.....just saying!!and BTW Igor Cavalera is better than that tatooed poser!!!!

[chiefindomer]

lol animal, nobody beats Buddy Rich.

[gijsjeeee2]

@chiefindomer animal just did lol

[levylevy1000]

@4against1 you sound like the biggest fag ever.

[EffectiveKill]

mind blown

[gaiseric666king]

epic shit!! and..........who the fuck is travis barker!!!!???just asking...

[4against1]

@gaiseric666king TRAVIS PLAYS 4 BLINK 182 YOU DIPSHITZ RETARD and he can smoke both theise fags your a fucking noob lol

[sickcellmate]

@4against1 whether you're a Troll or not, Mr Barker probably would be very ashamed to have ignorant fans like you. If you can't respect the classics, you're not really a music fan because people like Travis Barker would not be where they are without people like Buddy Rich.

[2333jim]

@4against1: Whatever.

[gaiseric666king]

@4against1 jajaja someone wants a hug!!! :P

[IliyaMoroumetz]

Wow... just... wow.

In upcoming weeks, Animal battles Phil Collins, Chester Thompson, and for his ultimate drum duel: Gene Krupa!

Go, Gene! Go! Go, Gene! Go!

[MattHatter]

Buddy Rich....just how the hell did he do it?! That's pretty much all you can say after a Buddy Rich video.

[softbolistafernanda]

jaja animal

[1989PinballWizard]

If there was ever a drum battle between Keith Moon and Buddy Rich, this is probably what it would look like!

[Ryhla]

Ok, I have to admit I've never seen Animal be so still and quiet.  I think it's called shock. *wink*

[dog453679]

I've heard of one's talent going one's head, but this ridiculous! Got to 3:27, and you'll see what I mean. LOL!

[PhoenixEmbers]

Zum Brüllen!!

[cannibalcorpse135]

3:06 is my reaction

[nellie2581]

RIP Buddy Rich

[joesonx]

what drumset is animal playing? looks like ludwig sucks.

:D

[tartiff56]

Animal vs Lars Ulrich :)

[aelon1]

Animal needs to battle Neil Peart.

[angrymuch]

To see such rude top rated comments on a muppets youtube video almost makes me lose hope in humanity.

[DibsOut]

@angrymuch angry much?

[teamoshy215]

OMG i love animal !!!!

[rockerascal]

Ronnie Verrell is the name of the drummer who plays as Animal

[robinator123]

Kill! KILL!!!

[axxonad]

I love punk, rock, alt, and the whole bag of cats, but how can anyone say that Barker is the best? Type "Steve Gadd, Dave Weckle, Vinnie Caluta" in the search bar. Your perspective will be changed if you have any sense of music.

[WatchVenusSpa]

It just doesn't get any better than this.

[MrHypnofan]

It just dawned on me, after dozens of views, that there is someone off stage ACTUALLY duelling against Buddy Rich. I bet that guy is still telling the story.

[slayerizedjh]

Joey Jordison watched this as a kid

[27kw91]

"Animal you ready?

KILL KILL KILL... " xD He's awsome :D

[abzreo]

this is so bad as i can hardly stand it, muppets are cool, buddy is cool and a ripper.

[Bumblebee69er]

animal wins

[MUFCY2J]

animal animal animal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[metachozoite]

why do all hihats sound like poo......

[madisonalexis13]

ohh, when disney had good shows, they had hannah montana and now she's a pothead. way to go disney.

[Butterbearx]

..First comment is on.. Travis Barker is actually an insane drummer. If your not into his flavor of music fine.. don't trash his ability.

[wyldesdmf1]

Really somebody thought Animal was based off of Travis Barker? Anybody with half a brain knew it was Keith Moon....In addition Buddy Rich=Greatest Drummer EVER

[papanocorras]

@wyldesdmf1 Keith Moon + Buddy Rich = meaning of "drumgasm".

[XaeiProject]

SIPS

[Cremesis89]

Sips.

[MrPrankStyle]

Sips brought me here!

[crazyh206]

well animal may have lost but he won in the fight hehehe

[crazyh206]

go animal beat someone i have never heard of lol

[catempire86]

@crazyh206 You've never heard of Buddy Rich? You sir, are an ignoramus.



[crazyh206]

@catempire86 hey im 14 so i was born in 1997 so i would not have

[DysnomiaBlue]

@crazyh206 I'm 14 and I know who Buddy Rich is. -_-

[crazyh206]

@DysnomiaBlue yeah but ur talking to a xbox kid who dont care about celebrities and politics

[1979rickfukingjames]

KILL!!! KILL!!! KILL!!!! KILL!!!

[ahopper1985]

Animal...You ready?

KILL! KILL! KILL!

[ChrisYoung1989]

why the fuck are people talking about Travis Barker?

[tolla02]

@ChrisYoung1989 I not sure but maybe is cause travis is a great drummer

[wageslave333]

@ChrisYoung1989 Travis Barker is a hack

[WiThErZ666]

@ChrisYoung1989 Travis who?

[tolvispelvis]

wtf, Buddy is playing match grip here from 1:48. Very unusually

[therevengeofficial]

best episode of muppets EVER!

[dhog41]

Hahaha.God, I love Animal. Really wish he and Keith Moon could have had a drum battle.That would have been amazing.

[StixH]

None other than the late great Ronnie Verrell. Sadly missed.

[FreakofMusic93]

You know what's funny? My grandfather played the sax in buddy rich's band so it's really cool to see him on a show as famous as the muppets. :)

[hanno21664]

hello all my nephew was watching the muppets and this episode with buddy rich came on and i was glued to the tv talk about bring back great memories for me! my nephew who is 5 was laughing and loving the drum battle, iam thankful that he too and watch the greatness that was once on tv. the muppet will never get old. they are for all ages. by the way my nephew started taking drum lessons.

take care all.

happy new year!

[eytim]

who is drumming for animal

[omaudio]

@eytim yes I want to know too!

[eytim]

@omaudio i think it says in the info for this video i saw it the other day

[rangers94ism]

So the moral of the story is if you lose a drum battle to Buddy Rich throw a drum at him.

[13SamuelDavid]

The buddy rich's splash looks like a crash of animal's hahaha

[MrLA7X]

Travis Barker and Buddy Rich are shit compared to Animal.

[THELIMDUDE]

Comparing Travis Barker with Buddy is stupid. Comparing ANY drummer with Buddy would be stupid. Buddy is simply just the greatest drummer there is; and anyone stupid enough to say a drummer is better than him, obviously aren't drummers themselves or have NEVER heard a Rich solo before. Non-drummers don't have a say in this, because only the true, serious drummers are the people that can rightfully recognize and acknowledge this kind of gifted talent.

[TheBrianpiechocki]

Buddy squirts chunky diarrhea into Travis Barker's open mouth and nasal cavities..

[ILikeTrains6923]

Yeah. I still think Travis Barker is a really good drummer, it's just that he's over-rated, and the likes of Neil Peart, Keith Moon, Buddy Rich and various other Jazz drummers destroy him.

That being said, Blink-182 is still one of my favorite bands.

[Joe5726]

travis barker not "parker" lol

[JDeepers]

animal is elmo from hell

[xastrae]

I saw him perform in Richmond, VA in 1976 and again in '78. I have never seen a human who could move the way he did with not only speed, but precision and fluidity.

[thatbritishkid1]

josh freese is my favorite drummer but buddy rich is amazing

[dudethisismyemail]

what kind of hi hats were those

[jhonrox]

Travis barker is a trash punk drummer who emo kids beat off to. Animal isn't based on him, Animal is based on Keith Moon who was one of the best drummers out there, just.. different technique.

[CSorglos]

@jhonrox Travis Barker wasn't even born, when the Muppets first went on air ;-)

[jhonrox]

@CSorglos THANK YOU! People never believe that, It bothers me

[papanocorras]

@jhonrox indeed... just look at animals' configuration... seems like Mooney's drum with The Who.. even a blind guy can see it.

[ItsTheDrums1]

@jhonrox Travis Barker started out as a Marching and Jazz drummer actually and he's not the most technical of drummers but just because your a dead tech drummer doesn't make you amazing you have to play with the band in mind!

[jhonrox]

@ItsTheDrums1 Me? a dead tech drummer? my biggest inspiration is keith moon. I play with my band in mind, but them again, I'm in a rock band, not a emo punk band. I play for the joy of playing music, not getting paid for shit

[27kw91]

@jhonrox Just for Info Travis Barker was not known when Muppet Show was made ;P

[jhonrox]

@27kw91 I know lol which adds to the fact their statements are illogical

[Bram25]

@jhonrox

I thought Animal was based on Chuck Norris' son. :)

[imonlyonheretowatch]

2:35 I lol'd

[Queenofcydonia2]

This is 2 cute!!



[darkknight07100]

I could do that. But I don't want to.

[gfanarakos]

charlie adams yanni is good

[TMundohere]

So who is actually playing for animal, that must have been quite an honor, unless it's Buddy Rich himself

[end4song]

@TMundohere Ronnie Verrell

[astroboirap]

buddy shits over travis barker

[JustinSamland]

@astroboirap lol why is that even a question? Their 2 names shouldnt be mentioned together

[astroboirap]

@JustinSamland lol.

[themetalkid1996]

@astroboirap totally....... *sarcasm*

[astroboirap]

@themetalkid1996 your sarcasm isn't clever or funny. gtfo

[themetalkid1996]

@astroboirap im not trying to be clever or funny. im just saying this guy sucks compared to travis.

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@themetalkid1996 "Themetalkid", saying a talentless hack in a shitty pop punk band is better than this guy?

"1996".. Explains it all. You are wrong, and you have nothing to do with Metal in any way, shape, or form. You're either a poser, or severely misinformed. Either way, turn the fuck around and learn something.

[POPCORN454545]

@themetalkid1996 Ummm i'm pretty sure Travis Barker is a pile of shit but, okay.

[tificationification]

DRUM BATTLE! DRUM BATTLE!

[Aambus]

HOLY FUCK THIS IS AWESOME! The two best drummers in the world.

[sectorzisnumbuhone]

@Aambus I agree! :)

[drummer4life15]

i dont really like travis barker...

[jac0bseiger]

animal stil is da winna why hes funny buddy rich is an ass

[Veence1987]

@jac0bseiger You're going to hell for saying that.

[Nofredede]

The Animal ist my favourite Muppet, I love him, but he makes me a little bit scary ;-)

[exteremeJUGGERNAUT]

and some people say drummers arn't real musicians...

[purplewalnut89]

my old drum teacher peter boris met and hung out with buddy rich and he wasnt that nice of a guy lol

[wolf69a]

Epic, battle of gods

[juanmmm36]

compare Buddy Rich with Travis Barker it's like compare jimmy hendrix with any actual guitarist, you just don't do it.

[picassopainter2]

@juanmmm36 Lolwut? Hendrix was an actual guitarist. Quite a good one at that. He did some very innovative stuff for his time. And Buddy was easily one of, if not the, best drummers of all time.

[ConnemaraBaby]

LEGEND!

[Wishtodie]

Buddy Rich was regarded by most every jazz drummer as the worlds fastest drummer, & when you watch this video, his sticks are moving so fast, that you can hardly see them. No question about that title!

[mountainbmx]

animal won, do you see Buddy Rich go AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH as he plays drums?

didn't think so

[BuckWilliams17]

@mountainbmx plus animal is the only one to actually use his drums as a weapon. Buddy was just making music.

[AsgoodasJoey]

oh man jesus

I love them both. Animal and buddy rich

I think I make my hair red when I play the muppet show theme at my school big band xD

[wolf69a]

@AsgoodasJoey put a chain on your neck and screem YAYAYAYAH jajaja :-)

[AsgoodasJoey]

@wolf69a oh yeah man! good idea

but where do I get a chain like animal?

YAYAYAYAYAH (okay so?)

[wolf69a]

@AsgoodasJoey LOL, no exatly the same chain but maibe in a pet store, some bad ass big dog neckchain hahaha, :-)

[iplaydrums98]

buddy rich makes travis barker look like he shouldnt own a drum set

[sportnut45]

Haha lol..... Buddy Rich's facial expression in the middle of the drum battle, he realizes his losing to a muppet and steps it up lol

[vicfirth62]

This video features what a drummer should be, in my opinion. On the one hand you have the mad drummer, Animal & on the other hand you have the technically brilliant, showman drummer, Buddy Rich. Absolutely fabulous.

[steviemedina22088]

so cliche people would bring up travis barker...

[chrisz71]

That was just unreal! It's like he was possessed by an inhuman demon with a ton of crack in its system.

[ZombieOwen23]

Just imagine Mangini VS Buddy ... JIZZZZZZZZ

[AlltimeTrance]

1:53

[sea23lion]

Richard Hoak is probably possessed by this inhuman drummer

[fiat131generale]

@sea23lion

That is really true!!!

[Madams1977]

Danny Carey from Tool, enough said. He really sounds like a modern day Rich.

[drummers4jesus]

Great vid

[JSPUFC]

Lars Ulrich from Metallica would wipe these two off the face of this earth....or the drummer for LMFAO.....or hell even Sum 41's drummer is insane on the drums

[sonicroxandGL]

@JSPUFC Hey, next time you troll, don't make it so obvious.

[redgun1001]

@JSPUFC You are retarded if you believe that...

[Rupert6500]

@JSPUFC Go back to your rock.

[AsgoodasJoey]

@JSPUFC but I think the best drummer is joey jordison

[sumrexseva4u]

, are you fucking serious? I hope not. You are not a drummer if you are. Lars is not worthy of licking the sweat off of Buddy's drum sticks after a solo Lars could never dream of playing.  Only Beavis and Butthead would say Lars is better than Buddy. BTW, I hear Lars is bisexual. jajajaajaja!!!!

[godzillaboy1993v2]

@sumrexseva4u don't see what him being a bisexual has to do with anything...

[Starjack100]

I always wanted to see Animal in a drum battle.

[GuitarFreako46]

Animal was just pretending to be tired.

[kngdms]

You have the title wrong, it should say animal vs. muppet :P

[LuisFCid]

Like ever... "ANIMAL RULES!!!" jajajajajajajaja great program, I love since I'm child

[CheuchtarLogic]

Terry Bozzio LOL!

[GerryIII]

2 words: Terry Bozio

[777nateyboy777]

if would be so scared if buddy rich got hold of some chopsticks

[chizukakawabata]

Hey, who was the drummer behind Animal? He sounds like a great drummer in his or her own right? I mean Buddy Rich is great but the guy playing drums for Animal sounds good too.

[cuppycakenomnom]

I'm animal in human form(:

[TheJoker1mono]

Travis Parker is good, I'll give him that and Neil Peart is AMAZING, that goes with out saying. But "Buddy Rich" is more than good and more than AMAZING, HE WAS and still is GREAT. . . (nough said)

[mountainbmx]

@TheJoker1mono all those guys are amazing..... but nowhere near as good as ANIMAL!!!!!

[That667Guy]

@TheJoker1mono

Buddy Rich inspired every modern drummer to have as much energy and powerful technique as he had, no one is better man

[XXNIRVANAXX1000]

@TheJoker1mono and Animal is beyond holy...
