I don't enjoy all his solo's and probably none have ever made me smile at my screen. This one did. The guy was brilliant. http://youtu.be/Kjb-AnWiHx4 |

Holy Moly.  It is so easy to complain about a guy, but watching that makes me eat anything bad I ever said about him. Even though his personality was abrasive, it was abrasive in an old fashion way that one could relate to, because he gave the impression of a guy genuinely experiencing, if fighting, life. Like you, I've never cracked a smile when watching him, but what a solo, Kelly. Thanks for posting it. That was great! |

One of the best solo's I've ever seen him do was the one I saw sitting roughly 10 feet away from him the year before he passed away. He did things in that solo that I have not seen repeated in video. What stuck out for me then and I capture a glimpse of it in this video, is some of the things he is doing are very popular today, and he still does it better than anyone is doing it currently. I see a lot of the big names today, center on something taken from him, and capitalizing on it. |

Man that was awesome, thanks for posting that Kelly. I saw Buddy about a year before he died, his playing then was great as well. Before the concert started, I walked up to the band stand, and took mental note of Buddy's drum and cymbal set up. I heard this loud deep voice say, hey kid, get of the stage we're getting ready to start. I looked up, and it was Buddy.  After the concert each one of us kids lined up outside the bus. We were allowed 1 question and autograph each, no photographs. I walked into the bus, the door shut behind, there was Buddy sitting, with a security guard behind him. He signed my Zildjian famous drummers set up book. He said, oh it's you again, what's your question, and make it quick. I asked, why he was using a 20" Rock Ride with his band, his reply was. Well kid, Zildjian has made a Swing ride for me yet! I walked off the bus, he yelled, hey kid. I turned around and he said, the heavier ride cuts through the brass section easier than a thinner one. He smiled, and I said, thank you Mr. Rich.That was my one and only experience with Buddy. I thought he was a bit sarcastic, but yet funny. |
