Traps the drum wonder & the great unus.
I remember the Great Unus of RingIing Brothers Circus pIacing a round glove on top of his upright cane-then proceeding to balance himseIf by standing on his forefinger. Of course that's the answer-it can't be done. Like the Great Unus, is this some kind of magician's trick Mr. Rich is putting on us? -that we really don't hear or see what we think we do?
l recaIl standing with ShelIy Manne and Bobby Rosengarden at the Nice Jazz Festival in 1978. We stood to the right side of the bandstand so ShelIy and Bobby could watch Buddy's right foot! Just his right foot! After the set, they Iooked at each other in disbelief. It was obviousIy an iIIusion they had seen.
During a Rich engagement in Los AngeIes some years ago, twenty-two drummers were in the audience. At the concIusion of the"ChanneI One Suite" half of them were openIy crying.
One should not try to explain the magician's trick-once you know the modus of operandi, the thriIl is gone. So keep your secrets, Buddy Rich, and let the audience forever be amazed and in wonderment of your art.
The Great Unus may have retired, but Traps, The Drum Wonder makes us alI beIievers.
