WTF??? There are some great rock drummers, and I'm a huge Neil Peart fan...but compared to jazz there isn't much going on.

Lastly ... Buddys Bio .. Lots more ..Larry King interveiws if you want to Youtube them up .. lots more drums .. volumes.. Buddy was a cool cat ..

Watching him play on Carson, I thought "This man is having a blast doing that" :eek5: "Animal" on the Muppet show reminded me of that joy. I was blessed with the listen to music gene, not the play music gene.

Saw Buddy Rich on the Tonight show once and I will never forget it!! It blew my mind!!

Ever listen to Gene Krupa?

I saw Buddy Rich play as a kid, and actually met him at Berkley back in the early 1980s .
I agree, he was awesome !!!
But some guys today have taken it to another level!!!
Check out this kid.

I tried to attach the youtube link for Tony Royster Jr.
The kid id only 12 years old and I think he has a huge future in music ahead of him !!!
If someone wants to help me out and attach the link please do so,
Thanks

Buddy and his sweater,, Older or better ? funny Carson, Buddy , after ..

oh my god, do we agree?

Like with any instrument, the jazz musician is FAR superior to any rock musician. I played guitar for 15 years, taught for 4 years before studying jazz. I felt like I never knew how to play music once began learning jazz. Im not trying to put rock down, I love Jimi, EVH, Vai, etc, but even soloing through a basic jazz standard is more complicated than most rock tunes.

Listen to Elvin Jones playing behind Coletrane for 30 minute versions of "My Favorite Things", never playing the same thing twice and never losing the rhythm.

Loved seeing Buddy on Carson years ago. Carson himself played drums but wasn't in Buddy Rich's league. Thanks for posting links.
