bassace Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 If Butch Miles had been on drums it would mean that I was with the Count Basie band. And that would have done me fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 The list is exhaustive, but in no order of any description .. Steve Gadd ( oooh if only ) Simon Phillips , Phil Collins ( mainly because of his stunning work with Brand X ) Pierre Moerlin , Bonham of course, Billy Cobham, Bill Bruford , Michael Shrieve , Terry Bozzio ( his work with Zappa ) etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 First it'd be Sheila E. Then I guess it'd be Stewart Copeland, Clem Burke, Woody Woodmansey, Paul Thompson, Michael Shrieve (really showing my age here). Probably should say that I've had the pleasure of working with some great drummers over the years, the most notable of whom was a guy called Robbie France and he was phenomenonal! Made me a better musician.. And of course, @Dad3353 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikel Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Ian Paice. Great rock drummer but he can make any song swing. He also leaves plenty of space for the bass guitar, top man. A brilliant drummer who was so accomplished he would have made even me look good. Edited February 15, 2021 by mikel Adition 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearhart74 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) Dennis Chambers, Mike Clark, Zigaboo, Larnell Lewis or Tony Allen. Too bad none of them would want to play with me...

JottoSW1 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 The fearsome Luke Holland on a more metally mood. Or Thomas Haake if I could get round the complexity. Bill Bruford - again complexity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Chris, you played with 3 of my favourites - Micky Waller, Henry Spinetti and Kenney Jones? - respect! I'll add Charlie Watts and Max Weinberg (E-Street Band) too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_dinger Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 For me, any drummer that I would want to play with, would not want to play with me! That said, a good drummer really lifts my game (although it sometimes takes me a while to find something that works with the new drummer). I am very impressed with Gilson Lavis (ex-Squeeze, and now playing with Jools Holland). I admire his ability to play the right rhythm for every track. He was so good on Chic's Good Times, that I had assumed that Nile had bought his own rhythm section with him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
