Rick N. Backer Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I might need to swap out Nicko and add Bill Ward. Ha. I love Nicko but you may be right. But for his health, Clive Burr might have been on my list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I think Densmore needs to be in your sig.I thought about him, for sure. You don't hear him mentioned a lot, but he and Kreider were extremely talented musicians, critical to the Doors' sound. Does he fit as a purely rock drummer? Bill Bruford is another one that should be there. Buddy Rich is played jazz, but was rock and roll in his approach. Gene Krupa as well, but to a lesser degree. So...I'll take a narrow approach. I thought about Peter Criss and Bun E. Carlos, for their entertainment value, but the chops on their published recordings don't quite rise to a monumental level for me.

goose Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I smell some Ginger in here. :smoke: Goose has recently some awesome folks in his signature.I thought about Baker, as he's inspired many a drummer, Peart included. It's just that Cream's music is like opera for me. I know I should like it...but despite trying hard...I just don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) I'll hrow Roger taylor into the mix for his distinctive and eaily recognizable sound. That's part of it for me...technical chops are one thing, but a drummer's style and sound have to stand out to make the monument. Steve Gadd and Jeff Porcaro made my sig...but might not fit the deifnition I just offered. Bill Ward does, and I may have to add him. ETA: Done! As I look at my new sign, I really like that smiling Jeff Porcaro. Smack dab in the middle...a decidedly un-ROCK looking guy that makes just about everyone's all-time greats list. Gives guys like me hope. Edited January 25, 2015 by goose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 I believe the problem with Ringo Starr is that after the Beatles broke up he basically stopped being a drummer. Without the material that Lennon, McCartney and Harrison provided, Ringo never challenged his talent as a drummer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like cream a lot, but I think all you really need from them is a best-of compilation. their studio albums are kinda inconsistent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
