If you could work with any drummer..
- Thread starter dean82
- Start date
Carter B. or Danny Carry both play with not only great rythm and musicianship but they play so melodicly on the drums.
Omar Hakim, Bernard Edwards and Nile Rogers on the CHIC at Budokan disc. Man there is some magical groove happening there.
It's a little weird though listening to that CD and knowing you're hearing Bernard on his last night on Earth.

Hands down:
Keith Moon (have to keep out of the way of exploding drum kits)
Plus afterwards you could trash a few hotel rooms.

+1 to the other cats who mentioned Carter Beauford... Yes, he is a "busy" drummer but I see that as the ultimate test to playing a support role and keep my lines simple and solid to make room for all of his notes.
Same with Mike Clark and Kenwood Denard...
But as far as being in a band with someone, ?uestlove would be my pick... A hip hop/pocket drummer... Or Jan Kincaid of Brand New Heavies, one of my all time favorite bands.
Oh so many to choose from.

Yep, huge props to Stefan Lessard for finding the right combination with a guy of Beauford's caliber. Lessard's tone has always been a little mushy for my taste and he doesn't get much love in the mix but I love his approach. His work on "41" (Crash) is some of the most lyrical, beautiful work supporting a singer that I've ever heard.

I would choose my good friend and Worlds Fastest Drummer: Mike Mangini
He is a monster on the drums and a real down to earth guy.
If he wasn't available I will tell him off then call Neil Peart!

Dave Grohl because he is rock solid and relentless!
Dave Tough for the same reason.
Kevin Ellman 'cuz I like his licks.
Steve Ferrone cuz he is soooooo smooth.
I'd go Ringo, but would prob ask him to tell stories all night instead of playin'.
Aynsley Dunbar because he's on a lot of my fave recordings.
Tony Thompson = same as above! Powerful!
I LOVE playing with my jazzy drummer Ted Owens. The guy is so effortless. Makes a three piece kit sing!

I'd probably go with: Mike Terrana (Masterplan) he's a great guy in person and an awesome drummer!
Next choices:
Deen Castronovo
Phil Collins
Chester Thompson
and last, but not least:
Max Weinberg of the MAX WEINBERG 7!

No way I could keep up with Danny Carry. I love mixed meter grooves but I'm just make a fool of myself.
Have you heard his jazz stuff? He's incredible!

+1 on Steve Smith.
Also, I would love to work with Dave Grohl on drums. I thought his drum work with Nirvana was great.
and, if I could re-animate him, Buddy Rich. Although I understand he was difficult to work with... I bet I could learn a lot from that guy.
Maybe Phil Collins....
