3. Buddy Rich Fan on August 9, 2008

   You want to know about Buddy Rich? Theres no where to begin or no where to end? You cant study Buddy Rich. He was in a complete class by himself? You could stay up late and watch his videos and listen to all his music his drum solos there is no way to compare him or to figure what the hell he was doing or playing. Thats why I idolize the man. To this date you cant figure out what he was playing???? That was the Buddy Rich Secret. I hear about all these so called drum experts and players try to analyze him and show you the Buddy Rich Stick Click exercise and how to move around the drums like Buddy did and how to make your wrists go fast and how to use the Buddy Rich method for Bass Drum Control. Thats all ONE BIG JOKE. lets repeat that ONE BIG JOKE. Buddy left the world and to this date no one plays like Buddy Rich. NO ONE. these guys who claim to sound like Buddy are really clones. You only have one Colonel Sanders ORIGINAL CHICKEN recipe. Long time ago I gave up on the clones and STICK JUST TO BUDDY RICH. The old vinyl records of Buddy playing with the JATP Jazz ensembles of the l950s were the BEST. Today you hear a lot of electronics and you see a lot of special lighting and special MIKES and new amps. Thats all a Joke. Buddy Rich played his heart out with out SPECIAL EFFECTS. You saw Buddy Rich you HEARD BUDDY RICH. you got the finest example of a drummer that GOD CREATED. So once again lets face it. Its NOT the method books its not the videos of how Buddy Played how Buddy Brushed his hair or which drum stick to use. Its how a GENIUS like Buddy Rich played . Tend to just listen and watch Buddy Rich
