i'd say he "beat the socks off" of all competition..... but it's likely because he wears "sock supports" Those old man leg-lingerie strap-ups with Garder belts....
Not impressed. Jazz drummers are boring. Speed also doesn't make it good, just more annoying. I would have loved to have seen him in his prime vs a prime Danny Carey. "buddy" would look like absolute shit.
If a balding 60 year old white guy wearing a tuxedo walked past me in the middle of a fancy black tie event, I wouldn’t think he’d make a drum kit have an orgasm.
it's not world-class drumming, because that'd be like saying there's other drumming like it in the world. I don't know what it is, but like all the wonders of music, Buddy makes the instrument his very own just by playing it like he plays it. Dave Grohl, you can tell. Travis Barker, you can tell. just by hearing. even though they're simple beats, you can just _tell_ how the drums are being repeatedly hit. but then there's Buddy Rich and it's just that same thing, only the notes are always triplicated in how you'd expect them and yeah. it's beyond.
Come si dice dalle mie parti per far capire certe cose ai giovani…guarda che quello di importante da scoprire è già stato scoperto e se non lo conosci sono problemi tuoi. Per dire che se uno che ama la musica non conosce il grande Buddy, in realtà non conosce la musica.
