Answer
Buddy Rich learned to play by listening and memorising. He never had any formal training and did not read music. He listened to other drummers and learned by ear. He also memorised the patterns of the songs he was playing. This method of learning was unusual for a drummer at the time, but it allowed Rich to develop his own unique style.
