Greatest Rock Drummers

@audiozen   

Yes concert tickets are much more these days and so is everything else like a cup of coffee .....but there really is no inflation at all. .....just ask the Federal Reserve and the wonks there that claim to be worried about too little inflation...after printing gazillions of fiat money.

There is going to be one almighty headache, possibly even free market OD and death after this current cheap money asset and stock market and everything party (bubble)...

The Little Drummer Boy?

I don't think that anyone has mentioned Karen Carpenter here. :>)

He's was not rock, but Buddy Rich was the greatest drummer who ever lived. He had 4 seperate brains. One connected to each arm, and one for each leg. He played seperate rythmic patterns with each appendage at the same time. I used to stay up late as a kid when he would show up on The tonight show with Carson, He would sit in on Ed Shaunessy's drum kit and just blow everyone away with the speed, finesse, and beautiful polyrythmic paterns he would play. Turns out he wss doing a lot of amphetamines, but his drumming was magic. Made me become a drummer. One who isn't worthy to carry his sticks, but then, no one is or was, or ever will be in my opinion. Look him up on youtube.

Incorporating all of the above by reference, I concur with Jim Keltner (on my favorite rock (kinda) album, John Hiatt's "Bring the Family") and add Brady Blade (whose brother ain't too bad, either).
