I don’t know how well regarded Ron Bushy is, but In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida got me interested in drums early on.

1. Animal.

2. Carl Palmer (ELP would be a total bore if not for Carl's playing).

3. Lars Ulrich.

4. Joe Morello (played on Dave Brubeck's Take Five).

John Bonham, but Neil Peart is right up there. John was tribal, unconcious, tapped into thunder and conquest. Peart is the most superb technical percussionist that has ever lived (my opinion). He is THE master of timing and nuance. I put Keith Moon in that category as well... not as technical as Peart, but a master of timing and groove.

Then there’s Buddy Rich.

And I’m not even a drum player. I play guitar.

Have at it boys and girls.

Ginger Baker may still be the best ever, butt...

Ron Wilson of the Surfaris may have done more for rock drumming than anyone. (Wipeout)

Speaking of 80s musicians, you kinda look like a Puerto Rican Pat Benatar in your picture. Can we hear your rendition of Sombras de la Noche?

I don't know. I believe she was a drummer in the Carpenters (she sang whie playing the drums) before they put her out front. People say she was a really good drummer.

Gads! I've been told before I look like Chrissie Hynde, without the bangs. (?)

Or, when I was pregnant, I'd be told that I looked *just like* MONICA LEWINSKY!
