   In 1982, legendary drummer Buddy Rich filmed three pilot episodes for "The   
   Buddy Rich Show" in New York's famous Statler Hotel. Featuring o   
   ce-in-a-lifetime performances from The Buddy Rich Band playing alongside   
   Buddy's friends and fellow jazz greats    
   including: Ray Charles, Mel Torme, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Lionel Hampton   
   and Woody Herman in front of a live audience – this historical footage has   
   never been seen. Now, drumming educational website, DrumChannel.com has   
   launched an Indiegogo    
   crowdfunding campaign to raise the more than $50,000 needed to pay the   
   songwriters credited with writing the more than 20 classic songs included in   
   "The Buddy Rich Show" in an effort to finally fulfill Buddy's vision of   
   creating a show, "made by    
   musicians -- for musicians."   
      
   "‘The Buddy Rich Show' was a real passion project for Buddy Rich and even   
   though it has taken nearly 40 years to finally release it for the public in   
   full, this is important historical footage both for drumming fans as well as   
   fans of jazz and big band,   
   " said Drumchannel.com founder, Don Lombardi. "We're proud to be a part of   
   finally releasing it in full to the public."   
      
   Hosted by Buddy, this live performance television show showcased incredible   
   performances from Buddy and his big band interspersed with ultra-rare outtakes   
   and footage of Buddy chatting with his guests. The show also captures Buddy's   
   raw charisma and wit    
   along with his spectacular drumset playing on such notable tracks as,   
   "Westside Story," "Birdland," "Love for Sale" and more. Drumchannel.com   
   acquired this incredible footage and has launched a crowdfunding campaign to   
   raise the necessary funds to pay    
   the songwriters to release what is, quite possibly, the last, unseen footage   
   of drumming legend, Buddy Rich.
