As good as Gene Krupa was, Buddy Rich was from a whole 'nuther planet.

AMAZING! How I wish I'd been there to hear that live! The performance is so, so much better than the recording!

That is a great clip! Sammy is not to shabby of a drummer himself, there are a lot of great clips of him on his show playing.

Speaking of Buddy Rich, here one I like. It's an older Buddy Rich and after he's slowed down a bit.  |

Even fellow jazz legend and Rhythm's third-placed sticksman Gene Krupa referred to Rich as "the greatest drummer ever to have drawn breath." High praise indeed.Top 10 Most Influential Drummers Ever 1. Buddy Rich 2. John Bonham 3. Gene Krupa 4. Ringo Starr (yeah, yeah, yeah)  5. Steve Gadd 6. Stewart Copeland 7. Tony Williams 8. Keith Moon 9. Elvin Jones 10. Billy Cobham |
