After Buddy died, phone rings at his home. Lady answers. Gentleman asks - " Is Buddy there?" Lady says "No, I'm sorry - Buddy died." Gentlemen says "Thank you " and hangs up. Next day, phone rings again. Same question: " Is Buddy there?". Same answer

This goes on for a week. Finally the lady says. " I know you. you played in Buddy's band. You've called everyday asking for Buddy. Don't you understand? Buddy is dead!"

Gentlemen says: " Oh I understand. I just never get tired of hearing it"

Funny that you use the word "Ignorant" when you just made the most ignorant statement ever.

"bla bla, buddy rich is the greatest, and if you dont think the same as i then you are probably stupid"

He was the greatest of that time, but drumming has changed. There are certainly drummers today who can match buddy.

My band teacher was taught by the guy in his band who recorded this.

Buddy was a master who played almost every night for more than 60 years with the best musicians that ever lived. He gave this punk a chance to "make it" with the best big band in the world. Buddy helped many people and gave musicians chances where other people wouldn't. He expected them to do a professional job. But, unfortunatly he got some young punks who couldn't do the job. They just complained and whined. I'm glad Buddy talked like that to Them. They deserved it.

If I was in that band I would've blown my trumpet into his face and told him to stick his job up his cocaine infested arse!

Great drummer though, no denying it.

If you all like Buddy, also check out another deceased drummer, Louie Bellson origina l from Illinois. Not only was he a great drummer, he was a nice guy and was often invited to the White House he was so well liked!!! Can't such that for Buddy Bitch!!!!

[bluefukingreene]

i agree hes a badass,not a fan of his band but he is very skilled.ive been checking out louie bellson what a drummer that dude is or was,dont know if hes dead or not.sorry if i came off rude or as too much of a fanboy for buddy but i recently descovered this man after 25 years of drumming myself and hes impacted me more than anybody else,my main influences prior to him were gene hoglan,sean rienart,dave lombardo,tim alexander,nick menza,stewart copeland,john densmore,bohnam,ect.

George Kollias is very very fast, NOT a fan BUT he is a great drummer!!!
