    That's an easy one for me to answer, the drumming on this is outstanding - just listen!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hlv8JqzHs0&feature=player_detailpage

    F@@k me Steven, I know you are of the age where prog rock wasn't a dirty word but Genesis on a Soul Site. You should be hung, it's like the Pope having sex with a woman, sacrosanct! I hope there

Sublime drumming and percussion. War - Flying Machine.

 

 

and one of my favourite drum intros. Leroy Hutson - All Because of you.

 

MALCOLM CATTO  WHO USED TO HAVE A TOP DEEP FUNK COLLECTION AND ALSO IS MY COUSIN.GOOGLE HIM.

Whoever the drummrs were on

Yvonne Baker "You Didn't Say A Word"

Rose Batiste/ Doni Burdick "I Miss My Baby"..."Bari Track"

Al Jackson Jr at Stax, one of the greatest.

 

IMHO one of the most brilliantly understated pieces of drumming.

 

But just perfect . . . . . . .

 

Songs with drummers who get noticed.

Landslide -( intro) tony clark

Im gonna change - velours ( tricky)

Cracked up over you - danny white ( nice syncopation )

Something about you - four tops (relentless bass drum)

Those off top of my head, lots more im prettty sure

Buddy Rich by a mile!

 

But if you want to see a great drum duet, Phil Collins & Chester Thompson (Genesis Live in Rome 2007)

A free concert in front of half a million people.

Sandy Billups from Brass Construction had me queing to get him to sign my album after a performance at Blackpool Mecca, The drum break in T-Connections 'Do what you want to Do' gets my vote though. Starts at 1:54 on this clip and ends just after you die:

duffy jackson on exposure has bust been re issued / booted not sure which. 

 

two funky bangers

James Black on this......

Tight tight tight !

"Behind a painted Smile" has the best ending to a tune ever IMO.......... But the album track SOMEDAY by the Tempests just sends me  :yes: sorry don`t know how to upload tracks like you clever fookers !

We discussed who the drummer was on this one a while back and it was confirmed it was the incredible George McGregor.

 

One of the ,most stunning drumming performances on a soul record ever!  :yes:  :yes:

 

Cheers

Hey Jordi, I like the War track  :thumbsup:

I'm with you and Jordi on this one Val. Absolutely love the flute and piano work too!

Play it loads at home and played it out a few years back at Jackie Allsorts' Full, Fat & Funky all dayer. :thumbup:

Always loved the drums on Just Ask me - Lenis Guess. Sounds like he's having a proper workout

The violin and drum break on I'm a good girl - Joyce Kennedy is up there, from 1.45 ; tight as a nat's chuff

IMHO one of the most brilliantly understated pieces of drumming.

 

But just perfect . . . . . . .

 

 

The finest ever use of sensitivity, tension, suspense, anticipation and intensity in music.

 

And a perfect education in the art of musical dynamics and human expression.

 

Truly special.

 

:hatsoff2:

Amongst everything else that's going on, including one of the great intros of all time, I've always loved the manic drum work on the Montclairs - 'Hung up on your love'. Maybe not classic, but he doesn't half put a shift in.

Yes, you're right mate - thanks for that  :thumbsup:

Al Jackson Jr at Stax, one of the greatest.

al jackson nicknamed "the human timekeeper"brilliant definitely a contemporary of the greats like  gene krupa&buddy rich

Edited by scottie

Who is the drummer on all the Harthon productions!Brilliant sound that ranges all the way up to manic.

I think it could be Animal from the Muppets. 

Buddy Rich by a mile!

F@@k me Steven, I know you are of the age where prog rock wasn't a dirty word but Genesis on a Soul Site. You should be hung, it's like the Pope having sex with a woman, sacrosanct! I hope there is a lightning bolt heading your way now!

Education, education, education (Now who was it that said that? :g: ) 

 

:wink:

Staying on topic, Roger Hawkins up there. And Howard Grimes overshadowed by Al Jackson but could definitely hold his own.

Do Bongos count, if so Curtis Mayfields player Eddie ?? could bang with the best!

Tight.....good.......drummer

its a bomb

Edited by gaz thomas

Think that's more of a decent rhythm section rather than an individual drummer if you don't mind me saying so  :D

 

Great record  :thumbsup:
