raytee1 Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I just had to respond to this topic. My top two picks are... ?uestlove- The Roots Clyde Stubblefield- James Brown(Funky Drummer) I remember discovering for the first time back in the day (late 80's) that Stubblefield's part in Funky Drummer was actually a human being, not a drum machine. Blew my mind! ?uestlove could have a person thinking the same thing except he adds so much soul to his playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneKnife Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 I believe that's Jeff Porcaro mentioned above (Toto, Steely Dan, Boz Skaggs)... I'd love to play "Beginnings" with Danny Seraphine. Steve Gadd has always killed me. What taste the man has! "We are the Federales... You know, the Mounted Police..." ---"If you're the police, where are your badges?" "Bodges?..."

jimbojones Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 (Yeah! My first post!) I like Lars from Metallica (as a drummer, not as a person) because he has a lot of energy. I would also like to play with chad smith, and the guy from rush, i forget his name. primus sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llarion Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 That shuffle groove he laid down on "Rosanna" from Toto IV is somehow so smooth that other drummers like me will tell you it's virtually impossible to duplicate! Learn the (Bernard) Purdie Shuffle, and you'll suddenly be able to play Rosanna really well. Porcaro's shuffle is a variant of Purdie's. Another great example of the "Porcaro Variant" is Lido Shuffle. Same basic shuffle, just not with a half time feel. It's all in the left hand; the ghost notes you play on the off triplets before each backbeat. Cheers! Phil "Llarion: The Jazzinator" Traynor www.llarion.com Smooth Jazz - QUESTION AUTHORITY.

Iceman Irwin Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 - Carter Beauford - Vinnie Colaiuta - Steve Gadd - Tico Torres - and maybe "El Negro"...he is scary...

Iceman Irwin Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 If I could only go with one... I'll have to go with Carter Beauford or Vinnie Colaiuta.

doc taz Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Michel Langevin (a.k.a. Away) of Voivod. Not only is he a great drummer, he's quite the visual artist as well, in both traditional and computer media. (He's done the artwork for every Voivod album.) Gets to the point without a lot of fluff. A bit punky, but solid. sevenstring.org profile my flickr page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockinredneck69 Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Gotta say, this is a good forum! Forgive me if I'm not familiar with the jazz musicians, having said that keep in mind that in any subject my tastes will alway lean towards classic rock, metal or country. Saw a video the other night for a band called Cold...I think, anyway that guy on drums was too cool. Favorite drummer of course depends on style your playing I'm sure, a good all-around drummer I think would probably be someone like Ringo or Tommy Lee.

Jope Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Drummer i'd like most to play with would probably be Lars Ulrich, failing that the guys from Dave Matthews or Pantera "We had a band powerful 'nough turn goat pish inna gasoline" Donald 'Duck' Dunn - Blues Brothers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizzyD Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 I could list off several favorite drummers I love to listen to, all who have already been named, but I want to give props to Jerry Marotta. I had the wonderful privilege of working with him on a project earlier this year, and his groove and feel just about made me cry. Matt Chamberlain is another with the magic groove, one of my current faves (particularly his work with Tori Amos). My site | Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petethebassman Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 http://www.maialino.it/cartoni/muppet_animal.jpg Animal from The Muppet Show!!! Oh yeah, and that crazy Brit who probably inspired Jim Henson to create the Animal character, the one and only Keith Moon!

Played with Herbie Hancock..She is the bomb..Had the opportunity to meet Terri Lyne Carrington last night. Herbie Hancock was the closing act at this years Monterey Jazz Festival. All the groups on the main stage were broadcast over the local public radio station KUSP and it's done under an AFM agreement. My role there was to get the musicians to sign the release and pay them. Terri Lyne smoked. Since they were the final group I left a little early to beat the traffic leaving the fairgrounds and listened to the last few tunes on the radio while driving home. The DJ's were doing a wrap-up and one mentioned that one doesn't see many female drummers and that she was one of the best. One of the other DJ's jumped in and set the other one straight that she just wasn't one of the best female drummers out there, but one of the best drummers out there.

erikmag Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I know what you mean about playing with a good drummer, the one in my band i frikin awesome. He can always hold down a good beat, and when him and i are jaming he is very good at listening to what i play. Of the famous drummers my favorite would have to be either denis chambers or steve smith. They are both fusion oriented and can play some very cool beats leaving plenty of room for bass. We distort. You abide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, he's a member of Local 153 but I've never seen or heard him play a kit, only symphonic type work as part of the percussion section.

shandobass Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Last night at the Baked Potato the Jazz Ministry performed. Members included Michael Landau (guitar), Greg Mathison (keyboards with a Leslie), Abraham Laboriel Senior and Junior (bass & drums. Can't explain the grooves and energy in one room. It is to seldom that father and son get to perform together. Monster grooves from bass and drums. Junior is arguably the hottest drummer out there. He has played with Duran Duran, Seal, and now Paul McCartney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
