Michael Shrieve

Jean Yves Tola from 16 Horsepower. Not for technique, per se. But, IMHO, few drummers define the sound of their band the way Tola does. This is a particularly difficult trick in this circumstance, since the band's lead singer, David Eugene Edwards, is such a powerful and distinctive presence.

Winston Grennan from Kid Creole. A (THE, if you believe Wikipedia) definitive one-drop player.

Wilfredo Reyes Jr and Taku Hirano. Lindsey Buckingham's drummers. Very different styles, but both are great players IMHO.

Hey Priz - where are you from ????? I am in Syracuse, NY and Frank Briggs was scarey !!!!! I can't tell you the amount of times that I saw 805 but it was allot......wasn't really into their music as I was other bands from that time and area like Duke Jupitar - but Frank was amamzing ....don't know how else to say it. I also just saw Michael Shrieve's name mentioned. He was what ...a whole 18 yars old at Woodstock and that stuff he layed down was also amazing !!!!!
