Greg Errico--killer backbeat,but solid, solid groove. Doesn't rush, doesn't lag, doesn't fill up a lot of space. One half(the other half being Larry Graham)of what was arguably one of the best rhythm sections of all time.

I know Scott Rockenfield of Queensryche wouldn't make everybody's list but in my opinion he's a powerhouse. I'd love to play a gig with him.

I've been gigging with my favorite drummer in all the world, Will Cox. It's as though he reads my mind before I know what I'm thinking. I know I am truly blessed.

That's really cool John - that is when you know the magic is happening, when two (or more) minds effortlessly float through a song.

I should add to my earlier post,,, I also like a drummer who isn't afraid to practice on his own! Band practice is for the band,,,, not the drummer to 'try out some new stuff that he was thinking about'.

Neil Peart. Or Bill Bruford.

+1 to Phil Collins
Derrick McKenzie

...Jeff Pocaro, Tony Thompson, if they were still living.

Hendrixclarke: you forgot one

I nominate Tony Allen of Fela Kuti Fame. Talk about meter. The man is a rock. He also just released a fantastic new afrobeat album reminiscent of his time with Fela.

Terry Bozzio

Jon Hiseman, who writes the genial Valentyne Suite
