Who was Henry Adler?
Henry Adler was an American drummer, percussionist, music teacher, author, publisher, instrument manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer and authority on drum-technique. He is best known for having taught Buddy Rich, who is regarded by many as "The World's Greatest Drummer," to read music - Buddy taught himself everything else - and for co-authoring, with Rich, the classic instructional book Buddy Rich's Modern Interpretation of Snare Drum Rudiments. First published in 1942, the book is widely regarded as one of the most important snare-drum rudimental books ever written.
Aside from Rich, Adler's former students include renowned drummers and professionals such as Louie Bellson, Roy Burns, Dave Tough, Sonny Igoe, Alvin Stoller, Sandy Feldstein, Phil Kraus, Miles Hampton, Daniel Perez and Ted MacKenzie.
