Buddy Rich's Drum Setup Over the years Buddy used a few different kits, including Ludwig, Vox, Rogers, but he mainly used Slingerland. He also used a Fibes snare drum which can be seen on the album cover of Live At Ronnie Scotts. But as far as I know he always used the same size equipment. And the same set up. Except for the large swish cymbal he added later on in his career. 14" X 24" bass drum (I've heard he also used a 26" sometimes) 9" X 13" tom (mounted on a single 'Set-O-Matic' holder) Two 16" X 16" Floor Toms. Snare Drum 5" X 14", Chrome Cowbell Ludwig speed king bass drum pedal or Rogers Swiv-o-matic pedal. Wooden Throne in White Marine Pearl . A little over 24" tall, including the padding. Wooden Bass drum beater. Zildjian Cymbals 14" New Beat Hi-Hats (medium top, heavy bottom) 18" Thin Crash (on the left) 18" Medium-Thin Crash (on the right) 8" Splash (also used a 6") 20" Medium Ride 22" Swish(on the far right) Graphics ©Copyright 2001 By Mike James, www.nextcraft.com
