Fave drummer thread .....

that's NOT Neil Peart ....j/k

Vinnie Colauita ( Frank Zappa , Sting , etc.) . Dude can play any time sig , play another over it , modualte phrases that sound faster but doesn't change tempo , then gets back into the original phrase .

Tony Williams ( Miles Davis Quintet , Lifetime etc. ) . He spawned a new generation ( Gadd , Vinnie , Bozzio , Steve and Smitty Smith ) of drummers post Blakey , Haynes , Philly Joe , and Roach . Just listen to the first Lifetime album . Everything you hear today is on that record .

Jack Dejohnette . Another groundbreaker post Roach and Blakey .

Gary Husband . Dude is nails with Allan Holdsworth

John Bonham . Took his Stax/Volt influence and changed rock drumming .

Topper Headon . The Clash were songwrting chameleons , and Topper played it all with taste , flair , and some chops . Also wrote one of thier biggest songs .

Stewart Copeland . You know him when you hear him . Unique , his time is a Swiss watch , and knows how and when to leave space and fill it . No one has his sound .

Rack !!

Carey can play cross rhythms like Morgenstien and Vinnie , uses smaller rack toms than his floors for melodic range , and has great feet .

Wierd cat though .

Probably because his body of work was one artist , Jimi , whose used Buddy Miles later and had just as much artistry as with Redding and Mitchell . Mitchell does deserve mention along with Moon , Bonham , Ringo , etc., and is in the Rock n' Roll HOF .

There is a lot of rock drummers no one knows of really , like Jim Keltner , Sandy Nelson , or Hal Blaine , that were pioneers of rock music , mostly because they worked in the studio pool .

the only notable one I know of is ?uestlove

lovebuzz · Post by **lovebuzz** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 12:47 am

She wants neo soul cause hip hop is old
She don't want no rock'n roll
She want platinum, ice and gold
She want a whole lot of somethin' to fold
If you're an obstacle she'll just drop you cold

?uestlove is the man.

Billy Cobham was pretty good in his time.

Art Blakey

I saw Elvin Jones a few years ago at the Blue Note in Greenwich Village. I'd say he has to be on the list.

Have a look at this google, to see what dude's been in with. I used to watch him in a Klezmer band, and with Kermit Ruffins.

You people should be shot for having this thread go this far with no mention of Carl Palmer.

Unless of course he's been mentioned, then.....nevermind.

And Mickey and Bill aren't getting enough love in here.
