  I went to see him in a small hotel in Dayton Ohio in the mid 70&apos;s. There were maybe 50-60 people there. I had a chance to talk to him and as a drummer myself he was very gracious. We talked drumming and you will note that his left hand held the stick farther forward, at times past mid stick. He handed me a stick and showed me why and refined the pressure points in my left hand grip. He respect novice drummers. It is a major memory of mine.

  He was actually having a heart attack during this solo and kept going! That&apos;s insane!

  The best part? Buddy had a mild heart attack in the middle. That&apos;s why you see him grimacing in the middle, and why he looks so wasted at the end. Of course, he was playing an outdoor gig in Central America, wearing a full tuxedo in the heat and humidity. His daughter Cathy Rich has told the story before.<br><br>You might be badass, but you&apos;ll never be &quot;Buddy Rich finishing a drum solo and then the rest of the tune, then walking out to the lip of the stage and taking a bow, all while having a heart attack&quot; badass.<br><br>By the way, guys, this is the very end of Buddy&apos;s famous &quot;West Side Story Suite.&quot; Treat yo&apos;self and check out the entire piece sometime.

  His single stroke roll has never ever been matched and the end of this solo makes that evident.He is the GOAT

  65 years of age, suffered a heart attack mid-solo, played and finished in perfection, televised production. &nbsp;Walked off stage soon after the end and was rushed to the hospital.

  You hear all the hype about him and you think “yeah, whatever” and then you actually see him play and you’re picking your jaw up off the floor. That left hand….🤯 Always a great time on your channel. I’d love to see you react to some Joe Morello too please.
