Gene Krupa, Tony Williams, Buddy Rich, Billy Cobham. Hell, since about 1950 till his death whoever Miles had playing at the time rates ahead of most of these guys.
Finally, Freepers I can relate to!
What do you think of Jack Dejohnette? (sp?) Way back when, we thought he was God. Not so sure now. I recall thinking he was "soft in the middle", from over-extending his attention.
Also, shouldn't we bring Tito Puente into the mix?
