Buddy Rich
Buddy Rich is the most famous jazz drummer of all time, as well as the greatest drummer of all time. No drummer has come close to his skill, his speed, his pure ferocity on the set. Rich was born in Brooklyn, New York. Inspired by drummers such as Max Roach and Gene Krupa, he quickly became very successful in the big band genre, gaining notoriety for his virtuoso ability even as a child.
His chops are unmatched, his groove is tasteful, his ability is heroic. This man is the drummer. If you don't believe me, watch the videos in this thread. This is the man who will make you want to quit playing drums.

A mind-blowing performance for any drummer. Consider this. Buddy Rich was more than 70 years old when this was filmed. Incredible.
Animal v.s Buddy Rich. A very popular drum video, made me want to drum when I was a kid watching re-runs of The Muppets.
Ed Shaughnessy versus Buddy Rich. Both great players but Rich leaves him in the dust.
Solo at the Hague. Remarkable.

This is the guy who comes up when people laud Travis Barker/Joey Jordison/John Bonham as the most talented drummer of all time. When I think drums, I think Buddy Rich and immediately I'm very jealous.
