Probably Carter Beauford, although he's way outta my league.

And Ringo. Not flashy, solid. Not to mention he played on some of my favorite songs. Let's hear it for Ringo!

Stewart Copeland, Bill Bruford, Bun E. Carlos, John Bonham (if only)...

 

Those are the guys, out of famous celebrated drummers, who make me want to play with 'em when I hear 'em.

 

Two you've never heard of- that I have played with- would be Ernie Whiting (brushman-extraordinaire! Empathic capacity for interactive ensemble-playing), and Jeff Dopko (a killer fill-man who'd refuse to do "drum solos", with an absolutely psychic connection to the rest of the group when improvising rock 'n' roll). A great drummer like one of these guys just makes the band!

Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do?

i'm not worthy.
