deleting 1st row of many files at once in vim

Question

I'm trying to edit all the files at once using vim buffers. Is it possible to delete 1st row of each file opened in buffers?

you can use tail http://stackoverflow.com/questions/339483/how-can-i-remove-the-first-line-of-a-text-file-using-bash-sed-script instead — KeepCalmAndCarryOn, Jun 27 '13 at 03:56

Specifically, what you want is :bufdo! 1d

:tabdo 1d works for me in gVim, but that's across multiple tabs. I'm not sure how buffers differ—you might need to use :bufdo instead.
