Book Description

October 1997
In addition to being a collection of transcriptions of the Buddy Rich solos featured on the Buddy Rich Jazz Legend DVD (00-903792), this publication concentrates on the specifics of "The World's Greatest Drummer's" playing. The techniques covered include left-handed/bass drum coordination, drumset crossovers, cymbal patterns, left-hand/right-hand singles, left-hand time patterns, hi-hat work, blisteringly fast alternating single strokes, and various nuances that made Buddy so special. Together with the videos, or by itself, this book is a must for any drummer's library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really great transcriptions!, January 6, 2008
By 
This review is from: Buddy Rich -- Jazz Legend (1917-1987): Transcriptions and Analysis of the World's Greatest Drummer (Paperback)
I bought this for my husband, who is a drummer. The book has very detailed transcriptions of solos from different points in Buddy Rich's career. Also, it has a breakdown of how to do different techniques that Buddy Rich has been known for. Surprisingly it is a really good book to practice from. The only thing that could have made it better was if a cd came with the book or if you could buy the cd seperate (instead of a dvd.) Some people can't always practice in the home and it would be great to hear what Buddy Rich wanted out of it while practicing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Buddy Rich - Jazz Legend 1917 - 1987, February 24, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Buddy Rich -- Jazz Legend (1917-1987): Transcriptions and Analysis of the World's Greatest Drummer (Paperback)
There is a video tape that is tied to this book, but I could not find it to order it. I ordered the DVD with the same name as the book, but it does not follow the book, nor does the book follow the DVD. It would be good to have the video to follow along with the transcriptions in the book. The DVD is great (same name) but does not tie into the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars IT IS BETTER THEN NOTHING., March 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Buddy Rich -- Jazz Legend (1917-1987): Transcriptions and Analysis of the World's Greatest Drummer (Paperback)
PRODUCT ARRIVED PROMPTLY, WAS PACKAGED WELL
BUT IT WAS NOT EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED. THE BOOK GIVES ME SOME INFORMATION BUT SOME OF BR PLAYING TECHNICS ARE OMMITED.

ANY WAY, IT IS BETTER THEN NOTHING.
