Drummers Talking About Drumming

Count Me In

I saw this documentary on Netflix and found it very entertaining.  It's group of interviews with famous and not so-famous rock/pop drummers talking about who influenced them and why they drum.  My favorite moment was Jim Keltner talking about John Bonham's bass drum.  I highly recommend it!

Yes, Neil Peart was not mentioned, but neither was Jim Gordon, Earl Palmer, Mitch Mitchell, Tony Williams, Tony Thompson, Bill Bruford, Benny Benjamin, Al Jackson, Roger Hawkins, Jon Hiseman, Billy Cobham and BJ Wilson. Everyone of them is equal or better than Peart! (Well maybe not Mitchell, but I’ve made my point)
.

Peart couldn’t hold a light to Cobman or Tony Williams. Listening to Williams on Miles In the Sky, its just amazing, although they are not rock drummers. But Buford was and I put him above Peart as well.  Peart was the most overrated rock drummer ever.
