after watching the hella dvd i would say the drummer is one of the best ever.

Either: (i) Samson Grove; or (ii) Legitimate Bastard (pre-"Sick Hat" releases).

Got to say Elvis Beetham Wallace.

or Elvin Jones.

Or Neil Turpin

Or Milford Graves

Damon Che

He's my favourite.

Stewart Copeland, you dicks. Without him a lot of drummers would sound very different. In a bad way.

elvin jones

This is the correct answer. Funky, minimalist, metronomic, often considered incredibly organic, just as often compared to a machine, capable of playing for half an hour without looking like it, prefers drum machines to drummers, and is so modest you'd think he made shoes for a living.

uhhh...

keith moon has a way with my heart

bonham i always thought had more taste

katrin from the ex astounds me at times

same with rey washam and todd trainer

i love mac macneilly and that one fill...you know the one... puss...mailman...

james brown had some excellent drummers jab'o starks, melvin parker, clyde stubblefield...anyone ever listen to "the big payback" loud enough to hear the drum part through the shaker part? and then there's that song, "blind man can see it." "dogga dogga dogga :boom!:"

anyways...those guys they're the best.
