Buddy told them that the secret to getting a great sound on their cymbals was to put them in the freezer for 24 hours.

Like a dumbass, my drummer did that. And of course he had about $2,000 worth of Zildjan cymbals cracked when he took them out.

Buddy Rich was one of the greatest drummers of the 20th century (Gene Krupa is my favorite though), but he didn't mind being a bit of an asshole too. lol
