Favorite jazz drummers...

Since OT has undoubtedly the greatest knowledge of music anywhere on the internet, I figured I'd make a thread asking who are your favorite jazz drummers.

Art Blakey

Elvin Jones

Max Roach

Billy Cobham

Buddy Rich

Sigh, can't say I know any of those. The only one I know about is Futureman, but that's mostly because of his not paying bills because "he's from the future" and that he plays a drumitar. I'll check out those links and see if they are any good.

The video with Max Roach was great!

I don't listen to much jazz, but Billy Cobham is a god.blackmagesm

True story8)

Danny Carey of Tool actually has a doctorate degree in jazz drumming, and I would have to say him.

Also Buddy Rich of course, and Thomas Lang even though he doesn't specialize in jazz.

Yes, but it's jazz-based drumming applied to progressive music...who cares what they get classified as.

He's still not a jazz drummer. He's a progressive/rock drummer that is sort of jazz influenced, but not a jazz drummer.

Buddy Rich. He's one of my favorite drummers period.

Im gonna come out and say this...I can't get into Max Roach. Technically he's good but I just cant feel it. Am I the only one?

Some cool Elvin Jones videos...

John Coltrane Quintet with Eric Dolphy- "Impressions"

John Coltrane Quintet with Eric Dolphy- "My Favorite Things"
