...but before you say anything show me a guy who can do THIS with a 3 piece kit. Nate Smith is from outer space.

Yeah, jazz drummer kits ("sets" if you're old!) are almost always "smaller" free standing (vs the crazy racks of today).

Thanks for this - never heard of these guys, really like 'em!

WOW! I love them. I just listen to a few more songs from the drop down. Kinda reminds me of old Jeff Beck from Blow By Blow or Wired. Love the bass player.

Yes, no doubt these guys were inspired by the old school stuff. Both are amazing records!

I understand most people here probably won't like the music, but check out Alex Bent, and please listen all the way through. Not only to what he's playing, but just how easy he makes it look.

33 seconds of 18-year-old Karen Carpenter playing drums.

She was at least as good a drummer as she was a singer. And she really didn't want to front the band.

Yes!!! And I loved her contralto voice. Very sad listening to her Christmas carols every year now since she is gone.

Bonham was WAY better than people give him credit for. Try playing some of his more syncopated beats and you'll see.

For me though, the crown goes to Stuart Copeland.

I was watching an interview with Ringo a couple of weeks ago. He said that the reason most drummers can't copy a lot of what he does is:

A) Most of them are right-handed.
B) He is naturally left-handed but plays a right-handed kit.

I have to admit that as a teeny-bopper I was also completely enamored by Keith Moon. RIP!
