The Birth of "Traps the Drum Wonder"
Buddy Rich was born to Robert and Bess Rich.He was born in Brooklyn, New York. His father was the first to notice his sons talents. At the age of one he was able to take spoons and keep a good beat. He was known as "Traps the Drum Wonder." At the beginning of Buddy's career, he was reported as one of the second highest paid entertainers in the world!! At the Age of 11, he was performing as the bandleader. He received pretty much no drum instruction, and he didn't take any. He never admitted that he had practiced, so in other words, he was always known for playing only during performances. He looked up to people like Chick Webb, Gene Krupa, Dave Tough, and Jo Jones, and many others. -
First Time Playing
Buddy has been known for his speed, and smooth moves make him legendary. He is known for his one handed drum rolls on both hands. Not many people can do that! One of his other moves are crossover riffs. That's where he would criss-cross his arms from one drum to another, sometimes over the arm, and even under the arm at great speed. When performing a single-stroke roll, Rich could be clocked at up to 20 strokes per second.[5] -
