musical drummers...who are they ???

Pic Withers? Hahahahahahaahah. Listen to "Making Movies, he's nowhere close to being in sync. He may have gotten better after that, but in my mind, he's a hack.

check out tony williams' last recording--"young at heart" he still had it.

100 Greatest Rock Drummers Great site, even if you don't always agree with the pecking order. Jeff

How about one of the best and sought after studio drummers; Jim Keltner. Great rhythym and beat and never got in the way

Phil Collins has to be up there because he wrote so much music... but my all time favorite as a pure drummer has to be Steve Ferrone.

He may not be well known and has mostly done contract work.

I have heard him play live with Average White Band in the late 70's, then with Duran Duran for a stint (Notorious album) and then I lost track of him untill he appeared with Tom Petty live and featured on the Wildflowers album.

Although guys like Buddy Rich or Neal Peart can probably "out drum" Steve in terms of BPM or overall activity ...there are very few that can achieve so much feeling from drumming. Steve makes slight adjustments in timing that create huge feeling.
