Buddy Rich Quotes

I play a percussion instrument, not a musical saw; it needs no amplification. Where its needed, they put a microphone in front of the bass drum. But, I dont think its necessary to play that way every night. - Buddy Rich Quotes
I think at one time every drummer wanted to play like Krupa or wanted to win a Gene Krupa drum contest. This is the big inspiration for drummers and naturally it has to be the same way for me. - Buddy Rich Quotes
I think its a fallacy that the harder you practice the better you get. - Buddy Rich Quotes

You only get better by playing. - Buddy Rich Quotes
