The Original Arguement! Who's Faster Buddy or Barrett?

[centersnare]

This is the original arguement which started the whole continous ongoing debate on on who's actually the fastest drummer in the world...the reason why your attending this thread today....why the invention of a machine that can register a drummers speed manifested from an idea to actual creation. The competition of speed amongst drummers has been going on way before the Drumometer was invented. There are stories of Buddy using carbon paper and a stopwatch to time himself. While Art Verdi and Joe Morello used to play alongside a metronome in 60 second intervals. Here are two clips below of Buddy and Barrett showing off some of there greatest speed....

Vote at the top who you think is faster!!

The patented Drumometer was inspired by a drum clinic that Boo McAfee attended in
Chicago during the 1975 Summer NAMM Show. As an impressionable nineteen year old, Boo
listened while Barrett Deems proclaimed to be "The World's Fastest Drummer." Suddenly
through the crowd echoed, "Oh Yeah! What machine did you use?" As Boo turned to his left, he
quickly realized that the gentleman questioning Mr. Deems' claims was none other than the
legendary Buddy Rich. Buddy was standing larger than life with his seventy's turtle neck shirt,
wearing a large silver medallion and loosely gripping a lit cigarette as though he was
undoubtedly the coolest man alive.
