That was small "c" Duane. Don't worry though - only they get the pointy stick! (We get
Holy Ehm...Baker!
I see lots of folks here recognize and love da rhythm stuff!

I bet that some of you know Brain (Bill Laswell Praxis project)
Also Dave Lambardo from Laswell trio with Frith...

They're monsters that can literally eat out Larc Ulrich indeed!
Zaikesman—Obviously, you are either a drummer, musician or very in-tuned to drummers. I know that Ringo was the most famous drummer at that time, but didn't know he contributed a new style. Live and learn! So, do you why did Paul do so much of the drumming on Abbey Road? And do you really think Ringo was a better and more creative drummer than most of the "wankers" listed above?

To my ears, Ringo sucked!
Bun E. Carlos, Clem Burke, and whoever that guy was who used to play drums for Big Black are three of mine the most favorite drummers.
I'd add to previous excellent suggestions Pick Withers, the original drummer of Dire Straits. While he is technically excellent, he also knows when and how to blend into the background, and when to come to the foreground. Just love the drumming on the first 3 dire straits albums.
