Buddy Rich at Half Speed: Boston Pops solo, 15 May 1981 Thanks to rhythmstick for providing me with the Windows Media files of this performance. Buddy sets the tempo of the opening portion of his tempo at around 167 beats per minute, and begins it with a one handed roll of eighth note triplets that runs until the :08 mark. At 167 beats per minute, eighth note triplets clock in at a bit over 8.33 notes per second. Buddy follows up with a short two handed roll of sixteenth note triplets, then launches an accents- and syncopations-heavy buzz roll that runs from :13 to the 2:35 mark. Much of what follows is too hampered by the shoddy audio quality of the video to properly analyze, but some areas of Buddy's solo lend themselves to relatively easy analysis. Buddy's left hand roll workout, which starts on the snare drum at 3:23 then alternates among the snare, mounted tom, and floor tom at 3:37, is largely composed of two, three, and four note groupings of sixteenth notes at 204 beats per minute. At this tempo, sixteenth notes clock in at 13.6 notes per second. In addition to the great speed of this sixteenth notes workout, Buddy executes it consumate accenting and syncopating technique. The one handed roll showcase ends at 3:43, and is followd by a miscellany of phrases that is dominated by thirty secondth notes and includes, at 4:03, an acrobatic, six note figure that is played RRRLLL on the snare. Buddy restates this figure between 4:10 and 4:13, playing it three and a half times, for a total 21 notes. This is consistent with sixteenth notes played for approximately 1.5 seconds at 204 beats per minute. As for Buddy's finale roll -- I have no idea what it is. I've gone over it many, many times and have finally decided that I can't make heads or tails of it. Drummerworld.com says it's nothing more than sixteenth notes at 204 beats per minute, which puts no more than 6.8 notes per second in each of Buddy's hands. I have no idea if that's accurate. Sometimes, Buddy's fastest in the finale roll sounds like sixteenth note triplets around 205, 226, 240 (and above) -- which puts 10.25, 11.33, and 12 (and above) notes per second in each of his hands -- which lines up well with the smaller rolls, and one handed rolls he does elsewhere in his solos, but, like I said, I can't make heads or tails of his finale roll. I just don't know. Tags: Buddy Rich Boston Pops

Buddy Rich at Half Speed: Drum Solo, 1970 Buddy opens the tempo at around 200, and kicks off things by hammering out five note rolls of 16th triplets on his snare drum and mounted tom, then three 16th triplets, followed by two 8th triplets, on his ride cymbal. He then spreads notes of greater value over the kit, including a three note roll of 16th notes on the mounted tom. At :09 and :13, Buddy executes two additional five note, 16th note triplet rolls on the snare. At 200, 16th triplets clock in at 10 notes per second per hand, and are equal to 32th notes at 150. And, at 200, 16th notes clock in at 13.33 notes per second. After approximately five seconds of snare and cymbal miscellany, at :18, Buddy rolls a few more 16th triplets on the snare. At :20, Buddy plays jazz's traditional hi-hat riff of 8th triplets twice, then, between :27 and :41, Buddy executes an unbroken string of 8th triplets in his left hand that is punctuated here and there with some taps on his mounted and floor toms. Between :42 and :43 or so, Buddy launches a roundhouse roll of 16th triplets around the kit, moving from the snare, to the mounted tom, to the floor tom. Buddy follows this with some 8th note triplet play among the cymbals and the bass drum. Between :56 and :58 or thereabouts, he executes a one handed roll of 8th triplets on his floor tom, after which time he focuses mainly on 16th note triplet snare rolls. Later, at approximately 1:14, Buddy switches to 16th note rolls, in which he embeds a few 16th triplets here and there. Then, between 1:24 and 1:32, he bumps 8ths on the bass drum against various 16th triplets rolls on the snare. From 1:33 to 2:11, Buddy throws 16th triplets and 32ths around his snare and toms. After this, he runs 8ths on the bass again up to the 2:13 mark, where he drives mostly 16th triplets around the kit until 2:30. At this point, Buddy increases his pace to around 210, and wakes up his hands with several non-consecutive patterns that feature single handed 16th notes. The first pattern runs three times from 2:26 to 2:29, and is executed among the mounted tom (M), floor tom (F), and snare drum (S) thusly: RM-RMLS-RF-LS-RS-LS-RS-LS. The second pattern runs twice between 2:30 and 2:35, and it goes: RF-RF-LS-RS-LS-RS-LS, RM-RM-LS-RS-LS-RS-LS. And the third pattern runs three and a half times between 2:35 and 2:39, played like this: RF-RF-LS-LS, RM-RM-LS-LS. At full speed, rather than at the half speed of this video, Buddy plays a total of 28 notes in about two seconds. This is consistent with 16th notes at 210, which clocks his one handed doubles at 14 notes per second. From 2:31 to 2:58, Buddy plays tribal figures on his snare and toms, including a signature toms-snare crossover sequence of 16th notes. Buddy then plays around the kit until 3:14 or so, where he begins a brief interlude of maddeningly complex hi-hat work. The bulk of this interlude consists of 16th notes, frequently accented, and, at times, played with a single hand: His right hand using push-pull on the top cymbal; his left hand using a tip-butt rocking motion on the bottom cymbal. The interlude runs until 3:26 or so. Next, Buddy rolls 16th triplets on his snare, then, using both hands, he simultaneous rolls 8th triplets on the mounted and floor toms until 3:30. He then executes six (or so) note rolls of 16th triplets on the snare, mounted tom, and floor tom. After some miscellany, and somewhere between 3:41 and 3:45, Buddy raises to tempo to around 330 or so and runs his patented, pivoting snare-floor tom crossover sequence of 16th notes, played: S-S-S-F-F-F. At 330, he cuts just above 11 notes per second in each hand. Buddy follows with a powerhouse roll of 16th notes. At 3:48 or so, Buddy messes around with the tempo, defying a note count. Buddy brings the tempo to about 205 at 4:12, and soon after plays a showcase of 16th note RLL snare beats that, at 4:22, substitutes Buddy's bass drum for his right hand. The showcase ends at 4:25. At 205, 8th triplets clock in at a bit over 13.66 notes per second. Buddy cuts 32ths at 4:3, 4:36, 4:37. As best I can tell, in the 6:20s Buddy's accelerating single stroke roll hits 32ths at 180, which puts 12 notes per second in each hand. As for Buddy's finale roll: I really can't tell what it is. The accents make it too difficult to analyze all too closely. It thin it works up to 16th triplets at 240, which puts twelve notes per second in each hand. Between 8:46 and 8:53, Buddy alternates 8ths in his right hand between the snare and crash, then between left and right crashes until the 9:00 mark. During this time, he's clearly not playing quarter notes, quarter triplets, 8ths, 16ths or any notes of lesser value than 16ths in his left hand on the snare. This leaves 8th triplets in his left hand. And both hands seem to be playing 8th triplets until the 8:46 mark. Tags: Buddy Rich half speed

Buddy Rich at Half Speed: Brush Strokes solo Buddy sets the pace at around 240 beats per minute for both the song and his solo. From the start the half speed video until approximately the 2:00 mark, Buddy constructs his solo around a shuffle pattern that is grounded in eighth note triplets (a double, then a rest), which, at full speed, run at around 12 notes per second, and have the same value as sixteenth notes at 180 beats per minute. At :50, Buddy plays a four note snare roll consisting of thirty second notes. At 240 beats per minute, these notes clock in at 16 notes per hand per second. PLEASE NOTE: If counting notes per second, keep in mind that the video is in half speed, while the time counter is in full speed. I recommend matching Buddy's beats against a metronome to measure the notes per second at half speed and then multiplying that figure by two to get an accurate count at full speed, i.e., the speed at which he is actually playing. Because notes and movements may blur in this video, which I produced using a cheap conversion program, I suggest downloading the original video from Drummerworld.com and watching it at half speed on a quality viewer like QuickTime or Transcribe!, which offers the best quality and allows for quarter speed viewing.

Buddy Rich at Half Speed: Dolphine Street song and solo At full speed, the tempo of this song is about 268 beats per minute. At this speed, the eighth note triplets that Buddy uses in his standard jazz hi-hat and ride figures clock in at 13.4 notes per second, which is the same speed as sixteenth notes at 201 beats per minute. Buddy constructs many of his left hand snare comps with these eighth note triplets, and he throws in his first two handed roll consisting of sixteenth notes triplets at the :29 mark. Between :36 and :42, Buddy juxtaposes a series of eighth note triplets at 201 beats per minute with his ride cymbal's quarter notes and eighth note triplets at 268 beats per minute. At 201 beats per minute, eighth note triplets clock in at 10.05 notes per second, which are equal in value to sixteenth notes at a bit under 151 beats per minute. As noted above, eighth note triplets at 268 beats per minute clock in at 13.4 notes per second, which is the same as sixteenths at 201 beats per minute. During this three second (at full speed) passage, when the ride triplets and snare triplets layer over the tempo of the song, then, Buddy is playing a very odd polyrhythm of 4.47:13.1:10.05 (tempo:ride triplets:snare triplets). In other words, Buddy is playing eighth note triplets and sixteenth notes at 201 beats per minute against quarter notes at 268 beats per minute. Or, it can be said that Buddy is playing three tempos at once: 268 bpm, 201 bpm, and 151 bpm. Buddy returns to traditional comping, playing many quiet, single handed eighth note triplets, until 1:42, when Buddy launches his solo. He keeps the pulse at 266 beats per minute throughout the entire solo, but crafts many of his phrases from eighth note triplets and sixteenth note triplets at 201 beats per minute. Buddy's solo begins with a powerful ride and snare slam. Buddy then plays a few short sixteenth note triplet rolls and miscellaneous other figures, then cuts some heavily accented RLL eighth note triplets, all at 201 beats per minute. A quick buzz roll, miscellaneous sixteenth note triplets, and more RLL eighth note triplets follow. At 1:57, Buddy synchronizes his phrasing with the pulse of the solo by executing a powerhouse roll of eighth note triplets at 263 beats per minute that runs until 2:02. The rolls begins as a single stroke roll, then switches to a paradiddle at the 1:58 mark, and is followed by a short flurry of sixteenth note triplets. At 2:03, Buddy returns to his eighth note triplets at 201 beats per minute with a string of RLL figures stretched across the kit. The string sees his left hand planted on the snare, and his right hand traveling among the snare, mounted tom, and floor tom. His eighth note triplets are intercepted at 2:06 and 2:10 by sixteenth note triplet flurries. Tags: Buddy Rich half speed

Buddy Rich at Half Speed: Buddy performs on Colgate Buddy kicks off his solo at around 195 beats per minute, playing heavily accented sixteenth note and thirty second note single stroke and double stroke figures on the snare. At the half speed pace of this video, of course, these sixteenth notes and thirty second notes appear as eighth notes and sixteenth notes, respectively. Beginning at the :30 mark and lasting to 1:06, Buddy drops the tempo to around 144 beats per minute and focuses on sixteenth note mounted tom and floor tom crossover patterns and short thirty second note flurries on the snare (including :44, :48, :50, :53, :54, :55, 1:01). At 1:06, Buddy re-ups the pace to approximately 195 beats per minute with a succession of four note snare figures that are composed of thirty second notes. Buddy roots himself on the snare with sixteenth notes and thirty second notes until 1:38, when he brings his toms into the mix. Between 1:44 and around 2:00, Buddy showcases his over/under crossover technique on the snare, mounted tom and floor tom: Buddy plays LRR sixteenth notes, with his right hand stationed on the snare and his left hand crossing over and under his right to dot the mounted tom and floor tom. Later, Buddy briefly increases the tempo of the solo to somewhere around 200 beats per minute before returning to 195 beats per minute and ending his performance at 4:40. Tags: Buddy Rich half speed

Buddy Rich at Half Speed: Buddy vs. Gene Krupa The majority of Krupa's rolls between :23 and :51 are composed of sixteenth notes at about 100 ___ beats per minute, which clock in at a bit under 3.67 ___ notes per second per hand. Krupa doubles his speed between :51 and 1:09 to a bit over 7.33 ___ notes per second per hand by playing sixteenth notes in his left hand. Krupa then splits his sixteenth notes back into eighth notes in each hand. At 1:46, Krupa increases his pace to approximately 185 ___ beats per minute, and plays somewhat sloppy sixteenth note crossovers on his snare and toms. At 185 ___ beats per minute, Krupa is running a bit under 6.17 ___ notes per second in each hand. Following the crossover workout, Krupa mixes up eighth note rolls and sixteenth note rolls, and returns the tempo to 100 beats per minute. Krupa rounds out his solo with right-on-left, eighth note stick slaps; his performance ends at the 2:11 mark. Buddy's playing is too much of a blur for the shoddy audio and video quality of this clip to handle, so I cannot analyze it all too well. He appears to kick it off with sixteenth note triplets at 180 beats per minute. Somewhere along the line, Buddy increases his pace to 210 beats per minute; ends his solo at this tempo, too.

Buddy Rich at Half Speed: West Side Story drum solo, 1982 Buddy begins his solo by playing a chain of lightning fast left handed snare beats that measure as eighth note triplets at approximately 200 beats per minute and sixteenth notes at 150 beats per minute. This equals 10 notes per second. To put this into context, the speed of the eighth note triplets that Buddy plays with one hand here is approximately 85% as fast as the thirty second note rolls (11.73 notes per second) that Neil Peart plays with two hands on "Tom Sawyer" -- including Peart's 'big roll' following the guitar solo. Buddy commits exclusively to the eighth note triplet snare theme, occasionally playing short sixteenth note triplet phrases between his two hands until the 1:30 mark. At this point, he introduces his floor tom and mounted tom to his solo, using them to sparsely intercept his triplet theme until around 1:40, where he rolls between the snare and the two toms for the first time. At 1:42, Buddy ups the virtuosity of his one handed work by playing a sixteenth note double on the floor tom with his right hand while sustaining the eighth note triplet theme with his left hand on the snare. At 1:47 and 1:49, Buddy plays a one handed, three note, sixteenth note figure on the tom; returns to a double at 1:50. At 205 beats per minute, Buddy's one handed sixteenth notes clock in at a bit over 13.33 notes per second. For context, the speed of these one handed sixteenth note rolls exceed the speed of Neil Peart's two handed thirty second note rolls on "Tom Sawyer" by a bit under 14 percent. Following some largely snare-based miscellany, Buddy executes three eighth note triplets with his left hand on the floor tom at a bit after 2:03. Following additional miscellany, and between approximately 2:08 and 2:11, Buddy executes numerous eighth note triplet RRLL rolls on his toms and snare. Around 2:15, Buddy focuses on sixteenth notes triplets played between both hands, mainly on the snare. He then flirts with a two handed, mounted tom-floor tom crossover pattern of sixteenth notes. Buddy fully commits to this pattern around 2:44 to 2:51. Between 2:52 and 2:54, Buddy plays a series of mounted tom-floor tom figures that are derived from sixteenth note paraddidles. The series is executed four times as LRLRR, with the fourth pattern played between the snare (left) -- rather than the mounted tom -- and the floor tom. At the tempo of the solo, Buddy's right hand doubles clock in at a bit over 13.33 notes per second. Following this, Buddy plays miscellaneous figures on the kit, including a brief return to his eighth note triplets on the snare drum at 3:07. While focusing on the snare, Buddy initiates some rapid fire foot work by executing four three-note figures of eighth note triplets on his bass drum at 3:40, 3:42, 3:43 and 3:44. Buddy then sustains a constant eighth note triplet sequence between 3:45 and 3:48. At 200 beats per minute, Buddy's right foot is playing at the rate of 10 notes per second. For context, during this portion of the solo, Buddy's right foot plays a bit more than 85% of Neil Peart's two hands speed in "Tom Sawyer." Buddy lowers and raises his note values here and there following the preceding section; settles again at 200 beats per minute by 4:30 or so. Around 4:36, Buddy launches a flurry of RLL sixteenth notes with a stick slap and snare hit pattern. The pattern is played slap-snare-snare, features some variations, and is interceded with a few two handed thirty secondth note rolls on the snare. The slap-snare section ends around the 4:54 mark. Next, Buddy revists his previous tempo manipulation snare theme, which ends at 5:00 or thereabouts. As for Buddy's finale roll -- I have no idea what it is. I've gone over it many, many times and have finally decided that I can't make heads or tails of it. Drummerworld.com says it's nothing more than sixteenth notes at 204 beats per minute, which puts no more than 6.8 notes per second in each of Buddy's hands. I have no idea if that's accurate. Sometimes, Buddy's fastest in the finale roll sounds like sixteenth note triplets around 205, 226, 240 (and above) -- which puts 10.25, 11.33, and 12 (and above) notes per second in each of his hands -- which lines up well with the smaller rolls, and one handed rolls, he does elsewhere in his solos, but, like I said, I can't make heads or tails of his finale roll. I just don't know. Tags: Buddy Rich drum solo half speed

Buddy Rich at Half Speed: Concert for the Americas drum solo Buddy heads into his solo with a bit of left hand shuffle comping on the snare. These shuffles are composed of eighth note triplets at about 230 beats per minute. At this tempo, eighth note triplets clock in at 11.5 notes per second, the same as sixteenth notes at just under 173 beats per minute. The solo kicks off at :13 by playing several sixteenth note triplet phrases between his two hands while keeping the shuffle feel of the lead-in. Buddy executes a five note snare run at 1:01 and some snare and mounted tom interplay at 1:05 to 1:08, while also sustaining his shuffle. At 1:22, Buddy introduces his one handed roll technique, playing several eighth note triplet figures at the increased pace of 252 beats per minute. These notes have the same value as sixteenth notes at 189 beats per minute, and clock in at approximately 12.6 notes per second. The complete figure played between the snare and ride cymbal with his left and right hands, respectively, is either articulated as LLR or LLL+R. A fraction of a second after 1:23, Buddy executes a more complex series of eighth note triplet figures that appear to be either LRRLLR or LRRLLL+R patterns on the snare and ride cymbal, with the ride cymbal sounded on the last R only. After some miscellany as well as lowering and raising the tempo of his solo, Buddy lands again at around 252 beats per minute, and executes several LRR eighth note triplet snare patterns beginning around 2:05. Buddy's one handed roll reappears between 2:46 and 2:49 seemingly as an unbroken, accented line of Lll eighth notes triplets. Then, from 2:52 to 2:57, Buddy executes a succession of a one handed roll-based figures that is a complex interplay between Buddy's floor tom and his snare drum. This figure appears to be either RLRLLLLLR, RLRLLLLLL+R or other similar succession of eighth note triplets. Following some miscellaneous snare and tom playing, Buddy begins his hi-hat workout at 3:02. This section of his solo mainly consists of complex, accented eighth note triplet figures played at the vastly increased tempo of 280 beats per minute. These figures are largely played between his two hands, but occasionally are articulated by his right hand alone. This is most easily and first seen during the opening jazz patterns of his workout, which are played between roughly at 3:03 to 3:14, and which incorporates eighth note triplet doubles at the beginning of each phrase. It is also seen at around 3:20 to 3:40 and 3:50 to 3:58, where the left hand only adds accents to Buddy's string of right hand notes, rather than contribute to the speed of the string. At this pace, Buddy's eighth note triplets clock in at 14 notes per second. After some additional hi-hat work, a journey around the cymbals, and miscellaneous play on the snare and toms, Buddy lowers the tempo to about 210 beats per minute, and, at around 4:26, focuses on tribal-sounding sixteenth note tom crossovers and interplay amongst his snare and toms. Soon after the 4:41 mark, Buddy alternates short and long sixteenth note and sixteenth note triplet rolls on the snare drum at the solo's original pace of 230 beats per minute. At approximately 5:16, he plays a string of sixteenth notes between his bass drum and left hand on the snare drum that runs until about 5:20. At 230 beats per minute, each limb is playing a bit under 7.67 notes per second. Following some sixteenth note work among the snare drum and toms, Buddy increases the tempo of the solo to approximately 270 beats per minute, and, from approximately 5:31 to 5:35, Buddy plays a crossover pattern of consecutive sixteenth notes between his snare drum and floor tom. The pattern gives each drum three hits per cross. Soon after the completion of his crossover showcase, Buddy lowers the tempo far down to about 180 beats per minute. He plays around the kit with miscellaneous eighth note figures, and then, just before the 6:00 mark, he begins a virtuosic exhibition of left hand speed. At 5:58, 6:01, 6:02, and 6:03, he cuts a six figure phrase of sixteenth notes. Shorter left hand phrases follow until 6:08, at which point Buddy switches the focus to two handed snare work. As for Buddy's finale roll -- I have no idea what it is. I've gone over it many, many times and have finally decided that I can't make heads or tails of it. Drummerworld.com says it's nothing more than sixteenth notes at 204 beats per minute, which puts no more than 6.8 notes per second in each of Buddy's hands. I have no idea if that's accurate.

Buddy Rich at Half Speed: Buddy vs. Ed Shaughnessy Buddy Rich kicks of the battle setting the tempo at approximately 180 beats per minute. He plays a mix of sixteenth notes and, at :13 and :14, a five note sixteenth note triplet roll on the snare. At 180 beats per minute, sixteenth notes clock in at 12 notes per second, and sixteenth note triplets clock in at 18 notes per second, which equal thirty second notes 135 beats per minute. At :17, Buddy executes a five note roll of thirty secondth notes. At :20, he hits three sixteenth notes in his right hand. At :21, he hits two sixteenth notes in his right hand, and, at :22, he hits three sixteenth notes in his right hand. At :25, Buddy restates his earlier four note roll of thirty secondth notes. He then follows with a bit of sixteenth note miscellany, and hands to reigns to Ed Shaughnessy at the :29 mark. Eddie steps in with heavily accented press rolls/open handed rolls on the snare until the :40 mark, where he plays three short snare and toms sequences of sixteenth notes. He closes his pass at :48 with four thirty secondth notes, which quote "Shave and a haircut, two bits" on the snare, and a cymbal crash. Ed returns the reigns to Buddy's hands at :51. Buddy sustains the 180 beats per minute tempo in his second run until :55, where he pumps it up to approximately 200 beats per minute. During the opening portions of this run, Buddy spreads his sixteenth notes and sixteenth note triplets, which, respectively, now clock in at 13.33 notes per second, and 20 notes per second, which equal thirty second notes at 150 beats per minute, respectively. Around the :58 mark, Buddy nails a four note, Louie Bellson-esque, thirty secondth note mounted tom-snare flurry that is played: tom-tom-snare-snare. At 200 beats per minute, thirty secondth notes clock in at a bit over 13.33 notes per second per hand. At 1:01, Buddy whips out his patented cross-arm technique on the mounted tom and floor tom, playing three phrases of RRL (R mounted-R mounted-L floor) sixteenth notes. Following this, he dances around the kit, and shoots off three more Louie Bellson tom and snare figures, with each figure followed by four sixteenth notes, between approximately 1:05.5 and 1:07.7. Following addition miscellany, between 1:19 and 1:27, Buddy fires off three faint, non-consecutive left handed sixteenth note snare rolls that are each punctuated with an eighth note sequence of: mounted tom-floor tom-bass-bass-snare. After executing a burst of thirty secondth notes, and some additional beats, on the snare, Buddy closes his second run at 1:29. Eddie jumps back in at 1:30, returning the tempo to 180 beats per minute, and, after some miscellany, between about 1:35.5 and 1:38.5, he plays a sequence LLLR patterns of sixteenth notes: snare-snare-snare-mounted tom snare-snare-snare-floor tom snare-snare-snare-snare snare-snare-snare-mounted tom snare-snare-snare-floor tom Starting at 1:40, Eddie then travels around the kit, mostly staying on the snare and hitting sixteenth notes. Ed gets a bit sloppy when he alternates between snare rolls and cymbal crashes around 1:45, but he recovers soon enough to play around cleanly with various snare and tom figures, including a crossover pattern on his two floor toms, before passing the baton back to Buddy at 1:55. Buddy once again flies back in at 1:57 and, somewhere near 210 beats per minute, by slamming out various sixteenth note triplet and thirty second note-heavy figures on the snare. At 2:02 or so, he plays a thirty secondth note crossover sequence between his mounted tom and floor tom. Following this, Buddy plays some snare and tom miscellany until 2:11, where he begins his trademark RLL over/under pattern of sixteenth notes, which sees his right hand planted on the snare, and his left hand traveling over and under his right arm to dot the mounted and floor toms. During this sequence, Buddy's right hand plays sixteenth note doubles as his left hand alternates between the mounted tom and floor tom with what are likely quarter note triplets. The sequence ends at 2:19; the pass finishes at 2:30 with miscellaneous snare work, hi-hat flourishes, choked cymbal crashes, a four note snare roll of sixteenth note triplets, and a big slam on the splash cymbal. Eddie re-enters with a slow quote of Buddy's "stick trick," which lasts until 2:36, then launches his third pass at the duel's opening pulse of 180 beats per minute. During this run, Ed focuses on sixteenth note snare work and restated floor tom crossovers. After a right hand-accented snare run that Ed plays between 2:50 and 3:02, Buddy comes back in and the two duet to approximately 3:16, where the battle ends and the song that preceded their competition resumes. The song ends at 5:20 and the video closes nine seconds later. Tags: Buddy Rich drum solo half speed
