Eric Fischer doubling a Buddy Rich solo from 1948

Hi,

On this clip Eric Fischer is doubling a Buddy Rich solo from 1948. ”Fischer transcribed the drum parts, overlaid MIDI sequences of his transcriptions against the footage to check his work, and then filmed himself playing the solos. Finally he put it all together in fascinating sequences that include split-screen match-ups between the two drummers”. This footage is in four parts; 1) Buddy Rich and Eric Fischer together, 2) Eric Fischer alone, 3) Buddy Rich (MIDI version) and 4) the original version with Buddy Rich. Very impressive!

Hey Anders !,

Really enjoyed watching that . Eric did an excellent job ! Thanks for posting it !





Peace, TED

I've seen a couple of these. They are fascinating.

What really hits me is how Buddy uses so much body language you get the impression he is playing faster than he actually is. And watching Eric, with minimal movement, you get the impression he is playing slower than he actually is.

A real study in kinetics.

Wow ..with all the digital sequences done recording drum parts today, Buddy stands just as or better than whats out there today in my opinion.

Great comparison this Gary does. His transcribing Budy's parts is near flawlessly performed. Must have taken countless of hours and days completing it. A work of art in and of it's self, that's for sure.

Thanks for that great video!
