Gilmore was in the 1910s a member of the James Reese European Society Orchestra , with which 1913/14 recordings were made ("Too Much Mustard", "Down Home Rag", "You're Here and I'm Here"). During this time, Gilmore was successful with eccentric novelty inserts. Buddy Gilmore also worked with Vernon Castle ; together they performed on tours in 1914 with "acrobatic drum solos", then in 1915 in the New York Tempo Club . In 1920 Gilmore performed in London clubs with the Southern Syncopated Orchestra ; his performances were also well received by the Prince of Wales . In the mid-1920s he had an engagement with his own band at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. He also accompanied the ragtime pianist Les Copeland during this time .
