How yall gonna forget about this man? The king of that rock solid soulful shit. Wasnt really a show-off type of drummer but was hella on point with incredible timing & got the job done.
Al--
Clyde--That 'Give it up turn it loose' break still gets a nigga exhilerated no matter how many damn years i been listenin to it.
Zigaboo--If you know anything about the Meters then you'll know this man is the king & one of the originators of that funky syncopated ish.
Harvey--This man was a monster on the skins & was killin it on the Headhunter album! One of my favs just off the fact of his beautiful drumming on '4am'
Honorable mentions- Any of these drummers can easily be on this list also:
Mike Clark(Was killin it on one of my fav joints(Actual Proof)
Jabo & Melvin Parker- If you dont know why go back & listen to some late 60's-mid 70's JB.
