musical drummers...who are they ???

bj wilson of procol harum(maybe the unsung greatest rock drummer )the dynamic dino dinnelli of the rascals. 'strangley' enough, john densmore of the doors and the cardboard coolness of michael clarke of the the byrds/burritos/firefall.....the immortal charlie watts

I figured I would be the first to mention B. J. Wilson, but Jaybo, you beat me to it. Right at the top, from the rock genre, in terms of using the drums for dramatic color. I'm glad someone stuck up for Ringo. I think he was an excellent drummer, very musicianly. Many times (not in this thread) I've heard people diss him in favor of his contemporary, Charlie Watts. That, I don't get.

Jim Keltner. Always overlooked but a great drummer.

Buddy Rich. Bill Bruford.
