Our Take

BUDDY RICH: Mr. Drums – The Buddy Rich Collection 1946-55

It's with great pleasure and a solid snare hit that I present to you the iconic Mr. Drums himself, Buddy Rich, in this jam-packed collection spanning from 1946 to 1955. If you're looking for some good ol' fashioned drumming that will make your eardrums tingle and your hips sway uncontrollably, look no further.

From the moment you hit play, you're transported back to a time when jazz was king and drum solos were longer than the queues at a British pub on a Friday night. Rich's precision and energy on the drums are nothing short of mind-blowing, with each track showcasing his undeniable talent and showmanship.

Tracks like "Killer Joe" and "Love for Sale" highlight Rich's ability to effortlessly switch between blistering fast beats and smooth, sultry rhythms, leaving you wondering if there's a set of four arms hidden somewhere under his suit jacket.

But it's not all just about the drums – the arrangements on this collection are top-notch, with each instrument shining through in perfect harmony. It's like a symphony of sound that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in time with Rich's impeccable groove.

So if you're looking for some old-school cool and a masterclass in drumming, look no further than Mr. Drums: The Buddy Rich Collection 1946-55. It's a toe-tapping, finger-snapping good time that will leave you wanting more.
