But, I dont think any arranger should ever write a drum part for a drummer because if a drummer cant create his own Interpretation of the chart and he plays everything thats written, he becomes mechanical he has no freedom. – Buddy Rich
I think the drummer should sit back there and play some drums, and never mind about the tunes. Just get up there and wail behind whoever is sitting up there playing the solo. And this is what is lacking, definitely lacking in music today. – Buddy Rich
