RE: Spinning Buddy Rich this cold gloomy morning...

I have been playing drums since my early teens. There was no drummer I ever idolized more than Buddy Rich. I would stay up on a school night, in the 1960's, to well past midnight, in order to watch Johnny Carson, when I knew he would have Buddy Rich on. Buddy would talk a mile a minute with Carson. Wisecracking all the way. He'd walk over to Doc and the band, sit down behind Ed Shanusseys kit, and just explode on those damn things, while the whole band swung like crazy. I could never figure how he was able to play the way he did. One handed closed rolls, while his other hand and both feet played there own separate patterns. He was the greatest, and I have never heard anyone else play with the speed , precision, and rhythm like him.
He was thrilling to watch and listen to.
