A Brief Lesson From THE Greatest Drummer Ever...

Found this just now on YouTube...

And Buddy Rich on Sesame Street...

He's legendary but I still vote Neal Peart as best drummer ever. You do know Neal?

You mean this guy using a match grip?



Yeah, I know him. But nobody beats Buddy...

Yeah, that guy.

This is a better look at his drumming (in 2008). It's pretty impressive. Give it a look. It's in HD, too.

Awesome vid!

I noticed that at 4:25 in, he switches up his grip to the one that Buddy used. So like Buddy, this guy can rock both styles.

However, I still like Buddy over everyone else. Buddy used an unbelievably small kit, and really made that kit sing! These modern artists are using kits that dwarf Buddy's - and in the vid above, Neal even has some kind of keyboard thingy as a part of the kit.

I would have loved to see what Buddy could do with such a set up.
