Oh, HELL.

 

If youre' gonna make me pick JUST ONE to transcend all genres, I gotta go with Dave Weckl...

 

I could name about 50 more though.. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Pick a genre...

Richie Hayward from Little Feat.

Pete Thomas from the Attractions.

Keith Moon, I really like his musicality, and I like the "pre-Bonham" melodic approach to rock drumming evidenced in such players as Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell, etc.

A drummer can have more chops than a T-Rex, but if he can't play Ringo, he has no value to me.

Hey Dave... now that you've got our minds working overtime, here are some other ideas for threads (BTW - these came out of qualifying your initial threads):

 

Pick musicians you'd like to play on a session with, record your music with, taking a lesson from, or spend an evening talking with (about music, life... anything but how cool it was to be on the road in a bitchin' rock band ;-)

 

Oh hell, I'll just start a thread with on the "Fantasy Session".

My Drum Machine (-- it plays as fast as Weckl-- really)

 

Seriously,

 

Dave Weckl

 

Bill Bruford

 

William Kennedy (formerly of the Yellow Jackets --lefty playing a right hand kit -- very unique)

 

Alex Acuna

Gear: Yamaha MODX8, Mojo 61, NS2 73, C. Bechstein baby grand.

Dave Grohl, he was fun to watch. Tom Petty said he's the best rock & roll drummer he's ever heard, so that's good enough for me. I still can't believe he turned down an invitation to join the Heartbreakers!

You're kidding right? Dave Weckl simply shreds, listen to the last cut on the first Electric Band album...he's undeniable and he improved so much since then.

 

Neil Peart...was extremely musical...very much a Rock drummer with little finesse but man he was a pioneer though.

 

Bill Bruford is by far one of the most musical and technically cool drummers of all time...his snare sound alone is worth mentioning. Where have you been...I can't believe anyone who's heard more than half of his work could not see him as one of the best.
