As a Band Leader/Producer/Horn Player..There are a few drummers that "Command The Throne" By that I mean their time is rock solid, rarely waver in tempo, know the nuances of being a drummer behind a named artist. Kudos to:
1-Poogie Bell---Chaka Kahn Band exceptional control of all songs
2-Damon Mendez- Like wise funk/R&B pocket
3-Abe Fogel- Hip Hop/R&B/Rock solid knows how to break it down
4-J.T. Lewis "The Lefty" Funk,Jazz,R&B, Reliable Always
5-Tony Lewis- What can I say if he hears it he plays it...and well
6-Wally "Gator" Watson--- Big Band,R&B
7-Tobias Ralph-- WoW strong player
8-Larry Bright- Billy C disciple and a Bad cat from DC
9-Russ Worrell-Pocket and can really sing
These are just a short list of the cats that I have worked with who have made my job as a leader, or player most of all fun,and have made many a "Star" sound good.

Be Blessed

Where was I, Art Blakey raw,primal emotion combined with constant driving pulse and rhythmic creativity,Philly Jo oh the finesse,Lenny White just his tuning alone was enough,Yogi horton because his pocket was just deep and he do it all,Dave Garibaldi syncopation and funk,Gaylord Birch diversity and funkiness,Dennis Chambers a natural who can authentically play it all from jazz to rock honestly and effortlessly.

It all started with Buddy Rich really and I've always been drawn to technique I think because of that being youg and impressionable at the time then Billy Cobham due to the same reason but also the emotion and musicanship was going to another gear then Tony Williams due to musicianship,the other wordly possibilities and thinking outside the box,Jack deJohnette because he had something completely different going on that wasn't just tied to drums.To be continued....
