Name three of yours the most favourite drummers

I think "Animal" was using a questionable substance-LOL!!--Mrmitch

Also Manu Katche....check out his two albums. He plays with such subtlety and yet so musical with accents that surprise you.

1. Ed Blackwell
2. Bill Bruford
3. Hamid Drake

I don't have three favorite drummers.

I will say this though ... I saw Lynard Skynard some 30 years ago with 2 drummers doing solos and passing sticks through the air, not missing a beat and thought that was cool. I saw Diana Krall live in Montreal on Bravo channel and thought that the Peter Erskine performance was the most at-home, in his element drummer I had ever witnessed. I enjoyed watching Steve Gadd perform in "One Trick Pony" - his perfomance on 'Aja' - well...I wish I could have seen it. Dan Gottlieb at a Pat Metheny Group show in 1979. "Futureman" from Bela Fleck - the best non-drummer I had ever witnessed. All performances I shall remember - not necessarily the best. Oh yeah, the guy from Filter that went on to Smashing Pumpkins - honorable mention.

Elvin Jones, the late Art Blakey and Tony Williams
