The Official Web Site of Buddy Rich, featuring information about Buddy Rich, as well as shopping, downloads, message boards, links, and business inquiries.
Arguably the greatest jazz drummer of all time, the legendary Buddy Rich exhibited his love for music through the dedication of his life to the art. His was a career that spanned seven decades, beginning when Rich was 18 months old and continuing until his death in 1987. Immensely gifted, Rich could play with remarkable speed and dexterity despite the fact that he never received a formal lesson and refused to practice outside of his performances.
Born Bernard Rich to vaudevillians Robert and Bess Rich on September 30, 1917, the famed drummer was introduced to audiences at a very young age. By 1921, he was a seasoned solo performer with his vaudeville act, "Traps the Drum Wonder." With his natural sense of rhythm, Rich performed regularly on Broadway at the age of four. At the peak of Rich's early career, he was the second-highest paid child entertainer in the world.
Rich's jazz career began in 1937 when he began playing with Joe Marsala at New York's Hickory House. By 1939, he had joined Tommy Dorsey's band, and he later went on to play with such jazz greats as Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Ventura, Louis Armstrong and Gene Krupa. Rich was regularly featured in Jazz at the Philharmonic during the late 1940s. He also appeared in such Hollywood films as Symphony of Swing (1939), Ship Ahoy (1942) and How's About It (1943).
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Rich toured with his own bands and opened two nightclubs, Buddy's Place and Buddy's Place II. Both clubs were regularly filled to capacity by fans of the great master drummer. After opening Buddy's Place II, Rich introduced new tunes with elements of rock into his repertoire, demonstrating his ability to adapt to his audience's changing tastes and establishing himself as a great rock drummer.
Known for his caustic humor, Rich was a favorite on several television talk shows including the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, the Mike Douglas Show, the Dick Cavett Show and the Merv Griffin Show. During these appearances, audiences were entertained by Rich's constant sparring with the hosts and his slights of various pop singers ...

Robert Rachelli - pro drummer available for recording sessions, touring and sub work. Playing the drums is not just a hobby, or a way to bring in income to support my family; drumming is the central rhythm in how I live my life, and it has been for nearly 20 years.
Throughout my drumming career I have been in a number of bands, touring primarily with Ventura and Santa Barbara groups. Additionally, I have also toured with Steel Pulse and opened for many well-known national acts.
My musical background experience is rich and varied. I am able to put in a groove or make up a part on-the-fly when I am recording in studio sessions, which is one of the reasons why Ed Kowalczyk (founding member/lead singer of Live) and John Locke (keyboardist for Nazareth and founding member/keyboardist of Spirit) love to record with me.
