The Buddy Rich Memorial Scholarship Concert series is a great chance to see the world's leading drummers perfoming Buddy's tunes. Appearences by Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Dennis Chambers, Louie Bellson and many others. A Must See!

If you are a drummer who loves to watch great playing, get this and smile all the way. It features Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl and Vinnie Colaiuta each playing live with the Buddy Rich band. Hit sections and solos galore. At the end, all three drummers trade bars over a killer Gadd groove. Every drummer who aspires to play like these guys should own this video. Amazing.

As a budding percussionist, I borrowed this video from my instructor, and was blown away. I just viewed the Vinnie Colaiuta solo from that video on www.drummerworld.com, and the effect is still the same. These three drummers, Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Steve Gadd, are true virtuosos of the drum set. Each did their own set, usually consisting of two songs, and a blazing solo. Then, the concert culminated when all three drummers took part in a three way battle royale. Gadd layed the groove down, and then each drummer soloed over the top of that groove. To end, the three drummers syncronized what they were playing, came center stage, and hugged. Awww. Nevertheless, this video is definitely inspirational for any drummer; I highly recommend it.

wow. 3 of the worlds top drummers on the same stage with one of the best big bands ever?! WHAT???? get this freakin video now. that's all there is to it! it'll blow your mind! i especially love when the 3 drummers (steve gadd, vinnie colaiuta and dave weckl) trade solos, very nice touch, very nice.
