About this Quote

This quote by Buddy Rich is stressing the significance of a drummer's imagination and freedom when playing a chart. He believes that an arranger needs to not compose a drum part for a drummer because if the drummer plays exactly what is composed, they end up being mechanical and do not have the freedom to reveal themselves. Rich is recommending that a drummer ought to be able to interpret the chart in their own way, and use their own creativity to make the music their own. This allows the drummer to be more expressive and to bring their own unique style to the music. By permitting the drummer to analyze the chart, they can create something that is truly special and unique. Rich's quote is a suggestion of the significance of creativity and liberty in music, and how it can assist to create something truly unique.
