A Buddy on Johnny Carson I did not know existed....

[mkelley]

Someone posted this a few months ago and it is still a refreshing view of Buddy. I'm not a huge Buddy fan but this video kicked my butt. He grooved and was funky and played his butt off.

Here’s another one with Buddy and Wayne.
Damn, Buddy’s left hand omg

Glad I could have been the one to post again for these folks who missed it.

That was great, thanks for posting. So inspiring.

More proof that Buddy was The Master, and could play anything he wanted to (even his 2nd floor tom!). Also proof of how much Buddy's playing improved when was inspired and challenged by the musicians he played with.

Thanks @GeneZ!

This should have been posted in that other thread asking what makes Buddy special.


One of the things brought up there was whether Buddy could play in odd time signatures. I think this might answer that. Although...what would time signatures even mean to a drummer who doesn't read music and plays everything from memory?

Super cool.
What a pioneer.

Is there another thread featuring this video? There is a ton load of threads about Buddy.

After watching this video I thought it was unique enough to stand on its own. I just thought this was super cool. I could not locate any other threads of this video.

I did not try to study his technique, I just found it highly enjoyable. And, in the past Buddy did break away from his typical style.

So that came as no surprise to me. For back in the 70's I had two albums by Buddy that showed him going off the farm. One was a real blues album. Another, was with Ravi Shankar.

Just have not seen this video on YouTube before, and thought others here would find it refreshing.

I knew this sounded somewhat familiar That I heard something like this before....

Apparently, Buddy was developing this concept for a while.

Ha, complete with Ludwig's patented rivet-on wrap seam!!

Good one, handn't seen him with the Pops! Excellent!

No, you're not! Needs a bit lower tuning and a wallet in the Pops performance...!

He probably (as has been mentioned) wants his snare head tight to facilitate a fast rebound, and other heads as well.

Man, love that clip. My Dad took me to see Buddy twice, once with his full big band, and once with a quartet AND the Cleveland Orchestra. That show must have been around this period. Just fantastic!

I didn't mean that you shouldn't have started this thread, just that this video would have been a good example clip to post in another recent thread about Buddy asking what was so special about his drumming ability.

No wonder I could not find it. Keyword "BR" will not pop up in a search. Unless I caught it back then, there was no way for me to know. I looked for keyword "Buddy. "
