Name three of yours the most favourite drummers

Hey Marakanetz,is Jackie Liebeztie that jazz drummer I saw on a PBS music show backing a young trumpeter? She was GREAT I'll give her a vote and my other votes go to Moonie(the GREATEST EVER) and my last vote goes to me

I lean toward "lead" drummers, guys that drag the rest of the group along.
Therefor: Ringo, Moon, and Buddy Rich.

Hey Oldpro,
Not sure if Marakanetz is going to field this one, so I'll take a stab at it, (hope no offense is taken). If you were watching Chris Botti (young trumpet player), the drummer on the broadcast was probably Karen Taperberg. Haven't heard her, but really like the Bruford/Levin Upper Extremities discs that Chris Botti is on.
As far as I know Jaki Liebezeit, the (#%&:!!!! amazing) drummer who was in in Can is still a man.

Bill Bruford - his 73-74 Crimson live work is legendary in improv, rarely plays the same way twice

Steve Gadd (Steely Dan's Aja was done in one take)

and no one mentioned him yet

Brian Blades

he played with Wayne Shorter's latest quartet

ferocious and subtle, many moods

he's played on a lot of other's stuff as well

live he is a dynamic, telepathic force

Bill Cobham, Neil Pert and Count Basies whoever he is.
John Bonham is the worst I have seen.
