Not a Rich fan at all. All technique, no soul.

Morello much better.

I saw Cream in 69 at a circular rotating stage that broke down with me right behind Baker for 2 hours.

He played “around” a song, like a melodic instrument. He rarely used the traditional hi-hat to keep the meter, but instead used his snare and toms.

He is my #2 all time best drummer behind Appice.

Yes, true but I should have qualified the statement to say Rich was a drummer’s drummer. He will never be bested in technical virtuosity, except maybe by computer.

Carmine or Vinnie? Both outstanding.
