YouTube video

I've already talked a bit about YouTube here on S/C, but here's another assignment, so I 'll talk more. Hey, that's what we're all about, right?

Anyway, the assignment is to embed a YouTube video into a blog post, and so I'm doing that. This one's a drum solo by Buddy Rich. He's one of the all-time great drummers. The things he can do have rarely been equaled. It's amazing that his drum kit was so minimal--most rock drummers now have so much gear you can't even see them back there. They could be on the lamb from gangsters or in the witness protection program, for all we know. Not back then. This is part of a drum solo from 1970, and if you've ever held a set of sticks and tried to play, you'll probably get a kick out of this:



Did you check it out? I hope you did. Think about that the next time you go to a rock show and hear the "wicked solo".

Peace.
