I've never seen anyone play with the snare hung like that.

[mikebuddy1]

@fcweddington That's the way the drummers from that era had the drums setup.if you checkout the old,sorry 'older' guys from the 20ies & 30ies you'll see the snare setup is even more angled.When you think about it ,it is a natural angle for the orthodox grip used.

[swami1]

Do you have the rest of this episode, especially the part where Buddy jams with Desi Jr.?

[mikebuddy1]

@swami1 yes,but i don't have it up.I have seen it on youtube somewhere though.

[reddieseled]

0:37 one hand roll and bass!

[mikebuddy1]

no such thing

If only todays bashing, thrashing ,untidy drummers, would learn from Buddy, and Gene Krupa , instead of playing the crap they play.

[todbeck]

Good to see the smaller ,basic sets are back in fashion . I never liked the giant, monster kits. They were a big joke and a bore to watch. Find the drummer.

[drummer78]

Goes back to the military marching drums who wore their drums and had them set at an angle.

@wyzyrddrummer Some people like Phil Collins memorize solos for concerts. I remember hearing Genesis rehearse back in the early 90's in Houston at the vacated Good Year Blimp hanger a bunch of times for their upcoming concert. Collins and Chester did duet solos and they played the same thing at each practice.

[wyzyrddrummer]

@truebones Buddy never played the same solo twice, nor did he play any song exactly the same either.

There's about 20 million drummer throughout time that would give up a body part to know exactly what was going on in that genius' head.

When I solo, sometimes i hear a song melody in my head and play to that. (on a few recordings i've heard buddy humming (very quietly) while do a solo. Sometimes I'm just listening to what I'm playing and seeing where it takes me.

[truebones]

Those just arent paradiddles, those are full fledged rolls and what mightto be dotted 8ith notes, millions of them. I always wondered what a drummer thinks about while hes soloing, is he improvising? or is it all pre-anticipated. or just counting numbers in the head,?

@todbeck The best drummers today are twice what Buddy ever was.

[tomber14]

@fcweddington Its just a more convienient angle to have it at when playing traditional grip. You get use to it after a while.

[giaffir34]

@mikebuddy NO SUCH THNG?? PFF THEN WHAT IS BUDDY RICH DOIN AT 0:38 WITH HIS LEFT HAND? ITS THE MOST AMAZING ONE HAND ROLL I EVER SEEN NOT EVEN JO JO MAYER CAN DO THAT WITH THE RIGHT HAND...

[DrumsofPA]

To me One of the best drummers ever.

[BandCamp1111]
