Description
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 ...

Steve Bowman:
I try to capture the "spirit" of a song by listening to the lyric, melody, progression and tempo, and by working with the songwriter, producer or band to find the best parts, tones and feel for the track.
Phil Collins once said "If the drum track is solid everything else seems intentional." He's right.
My favorite drummers are Ringo, Mick Fleetwood, Bun E Carlos, Steve Jordan, John Bonham... I also love Jeff Lynn's drum production. And Steve Gadd's ghost notes, and Karen Carpenter's voice (AND drumming)...
I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Sometimes a simple change can make a big difference. Maybe you have a song that's missing something or a great song that isn't working live. Maybe you have stalled out on a song you think has potential.
Maybe I can hear something you are missing.
Great songs are a must, but you have to play them well too. Combining attitudes, egos, skill levels, and musical preferences are all part of the challenge we face when creating a band. Sometimes it takes hard work for players to gel together.
I can save you time (and pain) by working with your band to identify any weak spots in the songs or the set as a whole. Whether you are trying to improve your live show or preparing to record, I can help your band groove better, play more dynamically, and try to get everyone "playing for the song".
