Which Drummer Would You Most Like To Jam With?

Wow, 5 Pages and not 1 person busted out...

VIRGIL DONATI! claimed! This guy is an absolute monster, on a level thats astronomically few and far between by very very few drummers. He plays Piano and Guitar, so the working environment and jams would be very cool, keeping up with some of the grooves would prove to be immensely challenging.

Mike Mangini- Always been one of my favorites, he is so technically advanced, the guy can do things with one limb that most drummers still cant do with 2. I'd laugh alot jamming with him. Not to mention he just joined Dream Theater, my favorite band. Thats a deffinate +1

Marco Minneman- Again, ridiculous, alot of smiles.


Neil Peart- Only because he is the classic "master". I especially idolize his practice philosophy and would probably only want to play Rush tunes with him, he'd probably give me the NP cold shoulder pretty quick, but I'd make the best of it

Great call on Mangini...his one handed rolls defy the laws of physics. However, Minneman shades it for me in terms of sheer fluid grace. Surprised DT went for Mike over Marco.

Either way, a jam with them would be pant wettingly joyous...
