Over the
years Buddy used a few different kits, including Ludwig, Vox, Rogers,
but he mainly used Slingerland. He also used a Fibes snare drum which
can be seen on the album cover of Live At Ronnie Scotts. As I
know he always used the same size equipment. And the same set up. Except
for the large swish cymbal he added later on in his career.
