Seriouss' post of the Buddy Rich vs. Animal video on one of my adds reminded me of the exact moment in my distant past I decided drumming was for me. It was Buddy Rich appearing on the UK's 'Parkinson Show' in 1982 with Sammy Davis Junior, Roy Castle and Kenny Everett (poor bloke, so out of his depth with such exalted musos around him!) also as guests. My Dad videoed it at the time (still have the VHS!) and showed it to me the next day. That was it. Hooked is one way of putting it.
And this is the exact video below (forward to 1:00 for the start of the music). Frankly, and for me at least, Buddy Rich is the finest drummer to have ever lived and remains without a peer nearly 30 years after his death. He was a grumpy, shouty sod though.

So, who or what started you playing?

If you make a mistake, do it again and make it look like you meant to do it!
