Buddy Rich

Photos 1 through 5 are from "The Colony", in Nutley, New Jersey. The remainder of the photos are from a performance at the Holiday Inn, in 1975. Notice that in the drum closeups from the 1975 performance, someone has repainted the "Slingerland" logo on the bass drum to read "Slingerlard". We don't know who did this gag, or the reason behind it, but... Buddy switched to Ludwig drums shortly after that.
