Aren't you supposed to be looking for drummers? I was going to start a thread about favorite drummers, and this is the perfect opportunity . Carter Beauford from Dave Matthews Band Just check this out; unbelievable!!

As a brand new student to drumming, that was both inspiring and very depressing. This one is my fav so far. It's an oldy and it's long but Neal Peart demonstrates just about every drum style known to man from basic rock, percussion instruments, (fill in a bunch of others), to finally kickin it Jazz style. Who says rock drummers can't do jazz? Neal Peart For sheer memorabilia, John Bonham's solo in Moby Dick (Led Zeppelin II) comes to mind. Worst drum solo I ever saw, Tommy Lee. Playing upside down doesn't excuse the fact that you were too wasted to speak.

I went looking for some Buddy Rich clips on Youtube to throw in here (and was very surprised to actually find some) but didn't figure anyone else had heard of him. Only reason I knew the name was that I have a friend in a blues band and his hobby is making posters of older musicians from whatever sources he can find.

I won't admit that I first saw him in the drum duel with Animal on The Muppet Show and that's how I came to know about him.

Letterman's band was always underrated I think.
Anton Fig, Will Lee, Sid whazzizname on guitar, and Paul Schaeffer - a guy could do worse.

<< Carter Beauford from Dave Matthews Band. >> He's certainly a great drummer but too metronome-like for my taste. I prefer drummers like the late Jeffrey Porcaro & Steve Gadd, w/ musicality and nice subtle groovy shuffles.

Letterman's band was always underrated I think. Absolutely!! I thought I was the only one ... Will Lee is very good; there are a couple of songs on the Letterman show where the bassist begins w/ an intro/solo... wow! you can't help but to start tapping your foot right away...very few bassists can pull that off. Now, Paul Schaeffer used to be the man... he's a bit coo coo now. :P
