On my own page of the Drum Solo Artist website, I list Buddy Harman as one of my mentors.He was a true pioneer for prominently using drums in the Nashville recording industry and he was definitely part of the famed “Nashville Sound” that developed in the sixties.
He was a legend in the music world.I can say that every studio I went into during the sixties and seventies had one of Buddy’s left-handed Gretsch sets already stored there, rather that using cartage companies.He was that busy with his recording dates!
Buddy Harman was a fine gentleman with a quick humor and an always positive outlook on the situation.I feel honored to have known him and to have benefited from his advice, wisdom, and his thorough knowledge of recording drums.Here are just a few of the links that honor his passing and attempt to describe his incredible career.
