violett said:

ooohhhh Violett
thank you my sweet!

For me it is
ANY of Frank Zappa's drummers
My favs of his would be
Ansley Dunbar
Ralph Humphries
Terry Bozio

also
Mitch Mitchell!!! -Jimi Hendrix Experience
and
John Blackwell is a muther fucker on the drums!!
I have been trying to learn what i can from him lately,
not that fancy stick twirling stuff tho.
Although, not in the same league as those I have mentioned,
I have also been influenced by Chad Smith of Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

When I was 13, I was all about Tony Thompson on
the Powerstation album.
and when I was 8 I loved playing along with my Styx
albums so I guess I would have to give it uo to John Panozzo.
As a kid I learned how to play drums by playing along with
my Beatles records. Good ol Ringo.

Although most of my infuences are rock based, I would say that
Jazz drummers are "the best". I am just waaaay to lazy to study
Jazz drumming so i just pick up what i can from Jazz.

A final note:
The most boring modern drummer has to be
Larry Mullen Jr. of U2!

The one-armed dude from Def Leppard!

theAudience said:

That list in addition to Cozy Cole & Jo Jones

He's one sick ofay mofo(ask Chaka & Natalie Cole about him) but the man is one steady drummer. John Robinson(his replacer) ain't 1/2 bad at all either.
