Best Bass and Drums Combos

[stratovani]

Don't know if they've been mentioned yet, but here's a few of my favorites:

Andy Roarke and Mike Joyce (The Smiths)
Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford (Genesis)
John Lodge and Graeme Edge (The Moody Blues)
Ron Blair and Mike Lynch (Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers)
Boz Burrell and Simon Kirke (Bad Company)

In no particular order, other than saving the best til last...

Firstly, I have to endorse what ack said. JP Gaster and Dan Maines, plus Gavin Harrison and Colin Edwin.

Then...the Wright brothers from NoMeansNo.

Marquis Marky and Ron Royce (Coroner)

Tim Alexander and Les Claypool (Primus)

Chad Wackerman and Scott Thunes (Zappa)

Sean Kinney and Mike Inez (AIC)

Bill Reiflin and Paul Barker(Ministry/Revco/Lard)

Mario Duplantier and Jean-Michel Labadie (Gojira)

...but of course, the most awesome engine room in music today, for me, is unquestionably the pairing of Tomas Haake and Dick Lovgren in the mighty, mighty Meshuggah.

Pretty much.
