Skills off the chart, but dance floor killing too. If that was a "faux" party merely to serve Buddy's promo purposes, then great. If that was a real party, & a working party band, that would be his last gig I'm going with the former.I didn't like it. Does he have to solo on every song? OK not every song but it seems like it. Not even crazy about that version of the song. The Goatee is creepy and the dancers are a riot.

I love to watch buddy play. Amazing hands.
However, in this video he is not keeping good time. He allows the song to slow down.
He is not in charge of the groove, instead he is playing along with the band.
His snare work is too busy for this song. He is playing this "funk" like it is 1940's big band music.
His left hand should be playing a solid 2 and 4. Way too many ghost notes.
His solo does not fit in with the song.
Overall this is a poor example of how to play the drums.
I guess it was true, he really did not like rock and roll and R&B.

Yes, I took a simplistic view, & probably without due reverence to Buddy's mad skills (even though I mentioned them) but my observation from my computer position was with regards to the party setting Tony, not Buddy's obvious status. I'm assuming that whole video was set up to feature Buddy, in which case, it's great. Sorry if I came across as a bedroom critic. Just making a cross era "tongue in cheek" observation. I'll refrain from doing so in the future
Does he have to solo on every song?
