A drummer you'd like to jam with?

Depends on what you mean by "jam"

If "jamming" means playing some tunes together that we both might know, then
- Don Brewer
- Steve Gadd
- John Bonham
- Al Foster

otoh, if "jamming" means spontaneously creating new music, then
- Joey Baron
- Bill Bruford
- Gene Lake
- Gino Robair
eh, what the heck, throw Al Foster in this list also.
 
I would have always made my list, Buddy Rich, Frank Beard, Charlie Watts with my top choice being Carmine Appice! I must state that I am 50, last summer I got to see Nickelback twice, not a huge fan or groupie it just worked out that way, I said to my wife both times, WOW, after seeing him live, I would love to jam with that drummer!” Daniel Adair
