Hi Kerbie--great idea for a thread!
I'm not a drummer, but I'm going to chime in because I love listening to them. I don't understand all the jokes about drummers and the folks who say they are not real musicians-- a band without a good drummer is a painful experience. We all agreed that the best musician in our high school band was a drummer, and I say that even though a couple of our horn players went on to play at very high levels. Art Blakey would fit right in your line up nicely. On the rock side I am a big fan of Ritchie Hayward (Little Feat) and Levon Helm (The Band) and Steve Gadd. I also don't understand why Ringo gets a bad rap. I may not understand drumming, but I know what I like I can't leave out one of my all time faves, the self professed hit maker, Bernard Purdie. I got to see him sit in for a set in a bar a while back on a Monday night (completely unannounced). This was a big band of sorts, a pick up group made up of a local music school prof and a lot of his current and former students. These folks were in awe of the man. Still swinging and shuffling very hard in his later years!

Hey Bob... glad you're a fan. I've played for 53 years. Drums are great... they teach a lot about rhythm that transfers to every instrument.
Art Blakey... fantastic with The Jazz Messengers. Steve Gadd, I included... one of the most tasteful drummers I've ever heard. There are SO many... Great story about Purdie... thanks for sharing it! |

So I've got a glass of wine in hand and had to add my two cents:
Seriously Kerbie - the rhythm is what it's all about!

I love that, Rick, and I remember it. Kermit just had that innate sense of rhythm.
I hated to see Buddy leave Slingerland and go to Ludwig. I owned both brands, but at that time, preferred Slingerland. I still have my classic, white marine pearl Slingerland set based on Buddy's. Great drums. |

Gil Evans once wrote a piece he titled "If Charlie Parker Were a Gunslinger, There'd Be a Whole Lot of Dead Copycats". Here's Elvin Jones, playing a gunslinger and man who you don't want to get into a drum battle with.
Bonus points to the first person who can identify the band on stage.

That's great... thanks! I've never seen that. The man could play. I think I first heard him with Coltrane in the '60s. Remarkable.

Jim Chapin
I'll include Chapin because I learned a ton from some of his records and books. I think he did the original "Music Minus One" for drums and he wrote outstanding instructional books on independence. He lived until age 89 and I believe he was about 86 when this video was shot... amazing! |

I don't even want to begin to calculate how long ago it was since I first listened to this ... but I remember I loved it ...

Bonham usually tops most lists of greatest rock drummers. I like Zep a lot and thought Bonham was great, but I studied him less than others. Don't know exactly why... Here's an interesting video analyzing Bonham's style... |

He generally gets his fair share of the drummer limelight for sure...
