Notes:
Buddy Rich's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a primary focus of his career. However, his virtuosic drumming style and openness to various rhythmic traditions may have led to occasional incorporation of patterns or techniques that shared similarities with Middle Eastern percussion. Rich's collaborations with diverse musicians throughout his career may have exposed him to various global musical influences, potentially including elements that could be associated with Middle Eastern rhythmic concepts.
