Buddy Gilmore, sometimes spelled Buddie Gilmore, (born 1880) was a jazz drummer.[1] He deployed a greatly expanded drum kit as part of his vaudeville performances and was a showman as part of popular orchestras.[2] . The Prince of Wales took lessons from him and performed with him.[3]

He was born in North Carolina.

Victor Talking Machine Company recorded him as part of the Europe's Society Orchestra performing "Castle House Rag".[4]

The Whitney Museum of American Art has a photograph of him.[5] John Gutmann painted a portrait of him in 1925.[6]
