ally Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Talk about all of your favourite drummers. BERNARD 'BUDDY' RICH IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bonzo's a given but one of my favorites has alway's been Bill Bruford Quote
Otto Masson Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Agreed, bonhamfreak. One other jazz drummer I really love is Gene Krupa - watching the man play is just so much fun, because HE had so much fun. The stuff he did with Benny Goodman was just really great. Quote

Rock Action Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Oh shit, I forgot about Floyd Sneed and Jerry Shirley. Both of those guys are terrific. Quote

One other jazz drummer I really love is Gene Krupa - watching the man play is just so much fun, because HE had so much fun. The stuff he did with Benny Goodman was just really great. And the drum battles with Buddy Rich were mind blowing! I've always given the edge to Krupa though for his work on the toms and incorporating them into solos they way he did. Quote
bonzo1026 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Oh shit, I forgot about Floyd Sneed and Jerry Shirley. Both of those guys are terrific. Sup, RA? Yeah, I mentioned Floyd in one of the Three Dog Night posts here. Major early influence and I STILL get goosebumps everytime I hear Jerry open Honky Tonk Women on Eat It Live! Noticed your new avatar. You're a drummer too? Quote

No...well I DO play the drums here and there, but mostly I'm a guitarist. Of course, the drummer in the photo is Scott Asheton, not me. I just got "Eat It" on CD a few weeks ago. Jerry is quite good to say the least. Plays with a lot of power similar to Bonzo. Floyd? Not a power drummer, but listen carefully to all the little things going on at the same time. Sounds like he's playing with four hands! Incredible. Quote
ally Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Oh shit, I forgot about Floyd Sneed and Jerry Shirley. Both of those guys are terrific. There are so many great ones it's hard to remember them all at once here's a couple more... Keith Moon, Don Brewer Quote
bonzo1026 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 There are so many great ones it's hard to remember them all at once here's a couple more... Keith Moon, Don Brewer Christ! How could I forget Moonie and Brewer? I should ve taken more time to think. LOL Oh and I'll add Mick Waller and Kenney Jones while I'm at it. Quote

Not a power drummer, but listen carefully to all the little things going on at the same time. Sounds like he's playing with four hands! Incredible. Yeah, I think Jerry's got some power too. One of my other faves on Eat It is Beckton Dumps. Do you have the Hot N Nasty Anthology? Hard to find now. I agree about Floyd. What I always loved was his groove in the pocket. Joy To The World, Mama Told Me Not To Come, Old Fashioned Love Song. Shit, I could go on. One tune I think he lays some power down on is their version of Try A Little Tenderness. Again, not Bonzo power but it kicks ass! I feel the same about Buddy Miles. He's not powerful so to speak but he's got that major funky groove. Quote
The Rover Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I saw The Who with Keith Moon in 1975? and Moon was just all over the place... a madman on the kit if ever I saw one.... going all out 110%. Quote
danelectro Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 My fave ever is Josh Freese, amazing what he can do. Quote

Gene Krupa is indeed great. The Benny Goodman orchestra actually played at my grandparents' wedding I have no idea how they managed that. I don't think they were that "connected" Quote
