frogman and orpheus10,
I did not contend that Joe Morello was the best drummer. It was Playboy magazine and Downbeat magazine. My question was not "is there a best drummer" or "so and so was the best drummer"
My question, which you both failed to address, was do you think it was Morello being a member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet that was influential in his receiving these accolades from 2 of the best selling magazines at the time.
