we are thinking about great dummers and no-one mentions jazz players?
how is this possible?
a small list of who i can remember while drinking coffee, in no order, and quite sure that there are other dummers out there i either cannot remember and/or have not heard yet who should be here:
elvin jones
eddie blackwell
andrew cyrille
don moye
jerome cooper
max roach
rashied ali
sunny murray
william hooker (check out his duet release with thurston moore)
chris cutler
and tony allen, who was the drumming (and musical) backbone for most early fela anikulapo kuti tracks--through the early 1980s---and is just a monster....
and why only trap drums?
i might object to considering drummer who play 4 (boom chak da boom boom chak), in general, except---
for more power and/or speed oriented material, the good dr. bindujeet of bindujeet partners llc is a veritable gateway to a legion of black metal drummers, the recordings of which simply leave one's tiny unsuspecting brain pummelled into a a kind of brakish froth...
maybe i will try to lure him over here.
waves a hat of meat.....
