Wow!

Not possible, But you could do small parts.

God Buddy Rich is/was an always will be amazing!

Playing the sticks, or all the different sounds he gets off the rims, or the dynamic variation on the snare roll – wow.

Would be a very interesting challenge for Cenk to do :)))

Thx for that link. The sound quality is much better!

For getting those stick sounds a bit similar it would require a drummer like Josh Freese to create the “Buddy Rich Northsea Solo Pack” Josh played for Nine Inch Nails and Devo to give a idea for what kind of drummer he is. Also experience with electronic drums to translate those for layering acoustic stick sounds with the synthetic engines.

Elektron should hire him for a project like that. It would be a very unique sound pack.

You could not sequence that on the Rytm sequencer. The sounds are near irrelevant, its the sequence thats important.
You’ll need Max MSP generating midi data from a deep learning algo fed on buddy rich solos.
Or, study drumming for 40 years and play it by hand.

Squarepusher is a big fan of Buddy Rich records.

The following has been eye opening to me.
Now I use the Rec+Double Play shortcut way more often !!
