Buddy Rich
"I can't sit down long enough to absorb any kind of learning."

Learning

Quote_1.png
Buddy Rich
"Every drummer that had a name, had a name because of his individual playing. He didn't sound like anybody else, So everybody that I ever listened to, in some form, influenced my taste."

Being

Quote_1.png
Buddy Rich
"Almost everything I've done, I've done through my own creativity. I don't think I ever had to listen to anyone else to learn how to play drums. I wish I could say that for about ten thousand other drummers."

Creativity

Quote_1.png
Buddy Rich
"I think the drummer should sit back there and play some drums, and never mind about the tunes. Just get up there and wail behind whoever is sitting up there playing the solo. And this is what is lacking, definitely lacking in music today."

Music

Quote_1.png
Buddy Rich
"And, well of course, Count Basie, and I think all of the black bands of the late thirties and early forties, bands with real players. They had an influence on everybody, not just drummers."

Influence

Quote_1.png
Buddy Rich
"I consider every drummer that ever played before me an influence, in every way."

Influence

Quote_1.png
Buddy Rich
"To have everything written for you... It's not really creating. That's why I think symphony drummers are so limited. They 're limited to exactly what was played a hundred years before them by a thousand other drummers."

Years

Quote_1.png
Buddy Rich
"But, when you have to resort to turntables, trick lights, flashing lights, fire and all that, you're actually saying, I need this because what I do is not all that together."

Fire

Quote_1.png
Buddy Rich
"So, to come In with a set routine it's something I've never believed in. It should depend on how you feel, because you play what you feel."
