1) Buddy rich
-Bernard "Buddy" Rich took big band drumming to new heights, propelling ensembles with a stunning amalgam of endurance, velocity and speed.
- Rich played with balletic precision and elegance that belied his long-time claim of never practicing.
-Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Sept. 30, 1917, Rich made his show business debut at 18-months with his parents' vaudeville act, billed as "Traps, The Drum Wonder." He danced on Broadway by age 4, toured Australia at 6 and led his own band when he was 11.
-A consummate player, Rich's prowess ranged from light-as-a-feather sensitivity behind piano trios to a G-force sound in big bands. But it was the latter ensembles that won him recognition.
-Rich began his big band work with Joe Marsala in 1937, followed by gigs with Bunny Berigan, Harry James, Artie Shaw and Benny Carter.
-In 1939, he joined Tommy Dorsey's band, where he cemented his reputation as a big band artist and roomed with singer Frank Sinatra.
-The two -- boasting equal doses of talent and ego -- often clashed but maintained a mutual friendship and respect throughout their careers.
-died from heart failure in Los Angeles on April 2, 1987

-raised in Long Beach, New York.
- Father was a rock n' roll disc jockey, so I was always surrounded by music constantly. I had this huge record collection when I was real young and loved the Beatles and then later on Kiss.
-Although Mike taught himself how to play the drums, he did take music theory classes in high school.
-During that time he began playing in local bands Intruder, Rising Power and Inner Sanctum, the latter of which released their own album.
-Mike left the band after being awarded a scholarship to attend Berklee Music College in Bostonof rap music.
-Considered to be one of England's best drummers, and very much in demand for rock and pop records
-Almost legendary for a heavy-hitting style that could be made to work with many kinds of rock music, whether for the thundering pop productions helmed by Mickie Most, Black Sabbath, Emerson, Lake & Powell, or even his own solo work (notably "Dance with the Devil," which was a major English hit in 1973.)
-Began his professional music career in 1965 with the Sorcerers, eventually winding up working with Jeff Beck after Beck left the Yardbirds. In 1971, Powell formed Bedlam, but eventually abandoned this project to produce singles such as "Dance with the Devil." He later formed Cozy Powell's Hammer, which broke up in 1975. After a brief sabbatical, he joined Rainbow, helping to give the band a thundering rhythm section before quitting after four years and four albums in 1980. Always in demand for the drum seat, he alternated between session work and working in a variety of bands, including the Michael Schenker Group, Whitesnake and Black Sabbath, never staying in any one band for very long.
-In 1996, he worked with former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green on his long-awaited comeback tour.
-At the time of his death on April 5, 1998, he was recuperating from a foot injury that had sidelined him from touring work with guitarist Yngvie Malmsteen. He was driving on the M4 Motorway towards Bristol when he apparently lost control of his car (due to bad weather), slamming into the center divider of the motorway. He died a few hours later in the hospital. ~
