The Drum Channel recently announced that the memorial concert held last year for the late great Buddy Rich is now available for purchase on DVD with over five hours of content. This was a historical concert held in late 2008 which featured the likes of Neil Peart, Chad Smith, Tommy Igoe, John Blackwell, Terry Bozzio, Efrain Toro, Nick Rich, Peter Erskine and Will Lee.

I caught the concert during Drum Channel’s live simulcast last year. It was awesome. The disc costs $39.95, which sounds like a lot of a DVD, but based on the amount of additional content, including an interview with Buddy’s daughter, Cathy Rich, and rehearsal, pre-show and backstage footage, in addition to the cornucopia of live performance drumming talent, it’s not a bad price at all.

If you want to order yourself a copy, you can get in the Drum Channel Store.
