Name three of yours the most favourite drummers

It's sad I forgot Simon Phillips and only two people mention him. Beside being amazing, he was only 15 on the first two Judas Preist albums!

1. Ed Blackwell
2. Zutty Singleton
3. Max Roach

Dave Weckl, Steve Gadd, Steve Smith.

Also Steve Ferrone - "More Head" on CDbaby with Stoned Temple Pilots - awesome grooves on this live album.

other Funky groovemasters:
Dennis Chambers (currently touring with Sanatana and "Mr Pocket" - plays for hours with a perfect locked in groove!)
David Garibaldi (the amazing way he accents is just unbelieveable - you need a good system to hear it all though)
Harvey Mason (awesome stuff on "On Broadway" Weeekend in LA by George Bensen and on Headhunters - Hancock)
Maceo Parker Live on Planet Groove (has some excellent drumming by Kenward Dennard )
Mike Clark ( On Thrust - Herbie Hancock)
Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste (The Meters)

in trad jazz
Sonny Payne rules - just a perfect "goldilocks touch" not too much not too little but just right

....enjoy
