Greatest Rock Drummers

How do you know if the drum set platform is level?

If the drummer drools evenly out of each side of his mouth!

Check out this drool worthy video of a drummin legend

At at the end of the video, you can see Tom Petty had vintage Tannoy Red 15 monitors stacked up high among all his guitar amps and cabs!

Since we talk about styles and overplaying, I want to add that IMHO Jim Karstein is a most exceptional “play for the song” drummer. Hat tip to James Cruce also.

Just listen to JJ Cale or Clapton. 

Excellent nomination of Jim Karstein, shadorne. I'm impressed! Others of his ilk (supremely musical, therefore unknown to most) include Jim Christie (Lucinda Williams, Dwight Yoakam), David Kemper (T Bone Burnett), Don Heffington (Emmylou Harris, Lone Justice, Victoria Williams, Buddy Miller), Kenny Buttrey (Dylan, Neil Young, Nashville studios), and Harry Stinson (Marty Stuart, Nashville studios). All the above are favorites of songwriters, a very good sign.

Liberty Devitto not iconic but a hell of a drummer. Incredible touch, finesse and creativity
