Buddy was certainly one of the great ones, alright. I'm assuming you're trying to show what can be done at age 61 (as opposed to showing how much better Buddy is than the unknown studio hack in MY link). Yes, Buddy really was remarkable. However, Buddy didn't start playing drums when he was 60
. It really does help to start a little earlier
. You won't see any 60 yr. old fighter pilots either, but Henry Haigh won the World Aerobatic championship when he was 69. Legendary pilot Bob Hoover was still flying airshows into his 70's. Horowitz was still playing concerts into his 80's. None of them STARTED in their 60's or 70's. Grandma Moses may be the only one. I don't want to be a Buddy Rich at this stage of my life. I'll be happy just to remember where I left the sticks
