"Bleeding Finger"...A Series Of Licks

Bill cut his finger on the rim while playing and he was getting blood all over the place. Hence the series of "licks" - drum licks and finger licks. Bonus footage: a clip of Buddy Rich on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Tommy Warrington on bass guitar and Barry Keiner on Piano.

It's a dangerous business the drumming marlarkey!!!!

Man I really like your style, what sticks do you use????

[calism23]

He uses 5b Reagle Tip (nylon). Hey did you check out the description for this video? Who's playing keyboard on this?

[louiemalvessi]

Sounds like buddy rich having a bad day. Which is already a great achievement. Congratulations, great skill/sound.

Licks are good your drum sound is very boring... just an opinion

[speedoflite1]

Buddy could do it all, except it seemed tricky

for him to adjust downward to the simpliest rock stuff. He had a certain grove and that was that. (Just shows how uniquely wired we all are as individuals).

I've seen Dick Cully do a tribute solo that was absolutely sensational. This guy is on the right track with his grip and whatnot. Too many guys are thinking the Chapin/Gruber Moeller thing will make them sound like Buddy. I don't think I've ever seen Buddy employ the Chapin/Gruber thing.

One thing is to use moeller to give rebound enough foe multplie stroke rolls, ANOTHER is to play single strokes dynamically changing and being manipulated individually - you cannot do quite like that using multiple rebounce of the stick, but rather in charge of EACH stick stroke. Total controle - something these nice copy-cats have not. Sadly... :/

I'm still waiting to see someone reproducing an ENTIRE classic Buddy Rich solo. I've lost how many times I've seen kids saying "wow! This guy plays like Buddy Rich!" - I just laugh my ass off. They have no idea at all. A couple of licks won't save them from being crappy copy-cats.

[benthedrumbum]

boring after like 30 seconds. dont look at us.

[bubses]

I hear ya man....I hear ya. Sometimes it sounds like I'm just stumbling around not SAYING anything. Makes me cringe when I listen to it at times.

[slicriot]
