Buddy Rich

Buddy Rich

Where does one begin to discuss Buddy Rich?  The New York native was one of the finest kit drummers to ever perform.  His bands and orchestras toured relentlessly - he headlined in concert halls, festivals, TV specials (and talk shows), a gruelling schedule that rendered him prone to heart attacks.  Although he never learned to read music, his musicianship was of the highest order and his (co-authored) drum method is still admired by drummers everywhere.  A performer from the age of four, Buddy Rich was a major force in music and a consummate artist - "Big Swing Face".
