Good thread. Im a drummer myself so ive got alot of influences. Here's some that ive been admiring for ages:
John Bonham - The man Chad Smith from RHCP - Funky as hell Jimmy Chamberlain from The Smashing Pumpkins - a seriously fierce drummer.Looking forward to their return just for Jimmy Mitch Mitchell & Keith Moon - Obvious choices John Blackwell - Some of the stuff he does is just ridiculous!! Danny Carey from Tool - Complicated as hell at times, but suprisingly funky as well. Mike Bordin - Ex Faith No More - Quality drummer, quality band. Nuff said!! Cheers | |

I've never been into the beatles so i wouldn't know? he wasn't great, but it doesn't matter. He sounds groovy. And his snare sound is totally cool. Steve Gadd could destroy almost any drummer alive, but I really can't stand the sound of his kit. Just look how he completely wrecked 'Aja'  | |

...Earl Palmer Though you might not recognize the name Earl Palmer, he has rocked, swung and thrilled American music for over 50 years. The New Orleansborn, Los Angelesbased drummer is an essential force in our musical culture, having defined the rock & roll idiom with the likes of "Tutti Frutti," "Lucille," "Summertime Blues," "Red Hot," "La Bamba," "Hippy Hippy Shake," "Dead Man's Curve" and "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," and having graced innumerable pop staples by Doris Day, Frank Sinatra, Herb Alpert and Andy Williams, and scads of jazz classics by Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Washington, Count Basie and Sarah Vaughan. That's Earl driving the Batman and Mission: Impossible themes and dozens of motion-picture and Looney Tunes scores; he's recorded with Sam Cooke, Ricky Nelson, James Brown, Buck Owens, the Byrds, Sonny & Cher, Phil Ochs, the Monkees, Neil Young, Ike & Tina, the Beach Boys, Speedy West, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Waylon Jennings, Ray Charles, Bobby Darin, Willie Nelson, Vic Damone, Tom Waits, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Elvis Costello, even modern rock generics Cracker (they asked, "Do you need to rehearse?" "Nah," Palmer replied, "I invented this shit"). Give the Drummer Some Earl Palmer, rock & roll's heavy hitter by Jonny Whiteside http://www.laweekly.com/i...teside.php =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 
...Roger Hawkins (Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin) Roger Hawkins worked as a drummer at dances and clubs throughout North Alabama and Southern Tennessee before securing a position with the rhythm section at FAME studio. He was soon pounding out the rhythm for acts such as Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett. In 1969, he and Jimmy Johnson formed Muscle Shoals Sound Studio and invited fellow studio musicians, David Hood and Barry Beckett to join them. This associaion of musicians became known as the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section. As a member of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, Hawkins has played with such artists as, Paul Simon, the Staple Singers, Leon Russell, Sam and Dave, Cher, Bob Seger, Eddie Rabbitt, Rod Stewart, Willie Nelson, Joe Cocker, Linda Ronstadt, Percy Sledge, and many others. During the early 70s his solid backbeat brought him to the attention of Steve Winwood, who asked that he join the group "Traffic" for tours of the U.S. and Europe. Eric Clapton recruited his talents for a tour in the early 80s and he has appeared live and on television with Glenn Frey, Peter Yarrow, Ronee Blakely and others. Along with partner Barry Beckett he co-produced the classic Mel and Tim hit "Starting All Over Again". Other production credits include Canned Heat, Bob Seger, Paul Simon and others. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= And it would be terribly unfair to list Clyde Stubblefield and John "Jabo" Starks without including the 3rd side of the mighty James Brown funky drumming triangle and the one who preceeded Clyde and Jabo... 
...Maceo's brother, Melvin Parker (Out of Sight, I Got You) Now these 3 weren't the only ones, but according to the Funky Drummers (written by Harry Weinger and Adam Budofsky) article in ModernDrummer... But three drummers in particular - Clyde Stubblefield, John "Jabo" Starks, and Melvin Parker - made an indelible mark on JB's most creative period. These are the drummers who are sampled the most. These are the drummers who were part of the classic JB bands that could burn up halls like the Apollo Theater hotter than any band before or after. According to Melvin, "Our differences were what attracted James to all of us. Clyde Stubblefield was funky. Jabo had the jazz feeling and flavor. I was different. Prior to me, Nat Kendrick and Clayton Fillyua were all fatback. I added a little taste of New Orleans funk. I played hi-hat more than anyone at the time. Everyone used the ride cymbal and accented on the backbeat." All the more reason to get... 
...Sex Machine This record also spotlights the creation of the original JBs (featuring Bootsy & Catfish Collins) after the famous mutiny of Brown's prior band. Another one of Jabo and Clyde's original and innovative nightly double-drumming performances is recorded on "Sex Machine." The live portion of this album, from Augusta, Georgia, also features Melvin Parker, the only recorded glimpse of these three great drummers working together. The energy and power they created, reinforcing and complimenting each other with accents and cymbal crashes, is truly incredible. From Give The Drummers Some! by Jim Payne http://www.funkydrummer.com/ Other JB drummers include Clayton Fillyau, Tiger Martin, Jimmy Madison & Allan Schwartzberg. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= George "Funky" Brown, drummer for Kool & the Gang (couldn't locate an individual photo) The band that made James Brown say, "They're the second-baddest out there...They make such bad records that you got to be careful when you play a new tape on the way home from the record store. Their groove is so strong you could wreck." =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Random hitters that generally won't get mentioned...

They don't call him "Animal" for nothing....I'm prepared for flack....but anyone who has seen him perform live knows of his technical prowess, creativity, expertise, ability to cross genres, ad infinitum..... He can 'attack' a piece with a type of anger and vengeance, but he can also play with style and grace....not too many drummers of his generation are that capable and flexible.
