FluffHead Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Carter Beauford from the Dave Matthews Band...................Everyone is going to dismiss this right away because of the name "Dave Matthews", but look him up on Youtube, see a live show, and tell me he doesn't belong. They get a bad rep because of the name and the generic fan's opinion, but get past that and give 'em a chance, he is a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Dannie Richmond and Jack Dejohnette. Hey Wayne... When I saw you post and the Detroit thing... I immediately thought of Meg White (drummer The White Stripes)... Has anybody posted a female drummer? Can anybody name others? Then there is BuckeyeMike's dream girl from the 1980's: Belinda Carlisle Got me thinking, you can probably smell the smoke!... Here is a list of them on Wiki (American): Female American Drummers Then there is Prince's drummer, Sheila Escovedo (Sheila E.): Sheila E. I figured somebody had to mention the ladies... Drumming is a pretty tight group that belongs manily with the guys. Also... Has anybody mentioned Ringo Starr? Probably the most famous drummer... Maybe not the best... We will leave that with Pete... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will leave that with Pete... That list has one big omission that I see right away, Yvette "Baby Girl" Preyer. She is Michael McDonald's drummer. My best advice is, if you can see McDonald for free, or if he opens for another band you like, or you happen to be at a festival and he's playing...check her out. You may hang around just to watch her play, and listen to her sing, when he gives her a chance. I'm not suggesting you pay to see Michael McDonald, though. Quick Edit: Shiela E isn't a bad percussionist, but her solo stuff is crap. IMO, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I WAS going to post him, but wanted to go with Aminal from the Muppets, which NONE of you enjoyed, which saddens me. Alex VH isnt a great technical drummer by any means, but watching him beat a drum kit into submission NEVER gets old. I like the animal post, quite a bit. Van Halen, on the other hand...
