"the world's greatest drummer" and was known for his technique,
speed, and ability to improvise. It was his father who initially realized
Buddy's talent for rhythm when he could keep a steady beat with a
drumstick at the age of one. He began playing drums in vaudeville
when he was 18 months old, billed as Traps the Drum Wonder. At
eleven he was performing as a bandleader. He received no
professional drum instruction. For most of the period from 1966
until his death, he led a successful big band in an era when the
popularity of big bands had waned from its peak in the 1930s and
40s.*
