As far as all time drummers go?

I USED to play drums keyword there sadly it has been awhile....

I remember i was fascinated by his playing as a youngin, and even today as i went to work i was listening to Regatta De Blanc. And thought man this sounds better today to me! verses 5 years ago.

Dude hungout with a lot of jazz cats growing up so that's where the jazzy side come's and than in the 70's he started hanging out with punk & reggae artists. All that gave him a wild mix of jazz, reggae & punk rock. I think his drumming is very unique & he play's nearly every song different than the last. Unlike most drummers

Brilliant inventive drummer!

I hardly consider myself knowledgeable about drummers but he was certainly one of the more interesting drummers of the late seventies/early eighties. Kind of a waste that he mostly restricted himself to recording soundtracks after the Police split.

Very underrated film/soundtrack composer and rock solid drummer. Check out the work he did as Klark Kent.

I posted one of his Klark Kent tracks, sadly i haven't heard them all going to get on that asap

Don't forget he also played Peter Gabriel So album

And strangely enough....... everything from working with Primus, to doing the music for Spyro The Dragon

Always dug his drumming. He's a great, versatile player. I even like his guitar/bass playing too.
