Al Jackson, Jr (surprise surprise I brought up Stax again).

Nothing too flashy but had an amazing pocket, and he played on a bunch of the first songs I learned on bass, so spent a lot of time “locking in” with him early on and had fun with it.

He shows off some chops here –

One of my favorites, if not my favorite, drummer is Larnell Lewis.

Me too, dude… I sighed as I hit the like button, @Paul

A lot of my favorites are dead… :confused: Vinnie Paul, Keith Moon… Does Will Ferrell still play for the Chili Peppers?

Haha that was gold. It was only for charity but I bet they had a good time. Chad Smith is a great drummer too.

So much drama for that family with both Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell passing away way too early. Both brilliant musicians and Dimebag was a real virtuoso. He is my #1 favourite guitar player of all times.

I don’t know a good drummer from a bad drummer, but I do like Don Henley because he’s such a great singer too.
