Buddy Rich

"But, I don't think any arranger should ever write a drum part for a drummer because if a drummer can't create his own Interpretation of the chart and he plays everything that's written, he becomes mechanical; he has no freedom."

"There are so many people whose minds do not belong to them. There are so many people whose thoughts have been purchased by people. There are so many people who have made people kings and queens of their thought. There are so many people who cannot sleep because of people. There are so many people whose lives are a small percentage of their own self and a greater percentage of others. When the offenses of people occupy your mind, your mind becomes the offenses of people instead of your own mind. To have your own mind and to be your own self, free your mind!"

Buddy Rich
"So, practice, particularly after you've attained a job, any kind of job, like playing with a four piece band, that's... an opportunity to develop."

Opportunity

Quote_1.png
Buddy Rich
"I mean, I think I liked every band I ever played in because each band was different, each band had a different concept, and each band leader was different... different personalities and musical tastes."

Leader

Freedom

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
"I think at one time every drummer wanted to play like Krupa or wanted to win a Gene Krupa drum contest. This is the big inspiration for drummers and naturally it has to be the same way for me."

Time

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
"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."

Play

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

Influence

Quote_1.png
Buddy Rich
"And, you know, I think the original recording of Ravel's Bolero, probably whoever played percussion on that, will never have It played better than that."
