Z, I don't need to dance to a shuffle I usually aim to get high and some drummers I've listed can get me to that just by playing alone with no music...

HINT: Getting high occurs from consuming a high dencity and intencity of a spiritual flux. It occurs when your spirit is completely tuned up for... such source.

AFTERMATH: Many talented musicians use different sources of spiritual invocation to give out the music or let's say it to blend it tight to their spirits that in this case transfer it to the listeners tune it?
Bill Bruford, BJ Wilson, Neil Peart.
I am not even going to go into technical prowess, it is secondary to originality and style. I will also mention Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Keith Moon, the rarely mentioned Jon Hiseman and especially Carmine Appice. I also want to mention Corky Liang (Mountain), who did was nothing fancy but had his part in setting the pace for modern rock drumming. There have been so many excellent players who have taken the precendents set by these players to new levels, true, but these guys were the visionaries (IMO).
#1 Buddy Rich
#2 El Negro Hernandez
#3 Dave Weckl
Runners up:
Terry Bozzio
Carter Beauford
Peter Erskine
Joel Rosenblatt
Max Weinberg (don't laugh...he's amazing)
French contingent of the 70'd hippy bang Gong.The Lp is is called "Expresso" and a CD version came out and is probably out of print calleed "GADZOOKS".I was never the biggest fusion fan but it's AMZAZING.Have to go with Moon who was peerless in rock.Art balkey did amazing things that were made to sound simple (press rolls) etc.Other jazz drummers would be Max Roach,Kenny Clarke,and Roy Haynes.Olantunji was the first with "world music" (but here again check out Blakey's "African Beat").
