RHYTHM MAKERS

I've always been in awe of drummers--they're always the first people I'm drawn to on a stage.  Nothing is more primitive and real than a drummer hitting the shit out of drum kit.  And they're always placed in back! Not fair.  There should be a national drummer appreciation holiday.  Who can set this up?

I'm definitely no percussion expert, but these guys never fail to give me chills:

Patrick Hallahan



Ginger Baker



Chris Tomson





Something would be missing if I didn't mention John Bonham

 At least watch what happens around the 14th minute....





more to come....(I mean, maybe)
