Japhet Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Best? Too subjective, but I'll lob in Francis Rocco Prestia and David Garibaldi (Tower of Power). Quote
Bassnut62 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 [quote name='julesb' timestamp='1445539208' post='2892317'] I'll offer this for starters... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxBkmMOh0Uc [/quote] Yup, Headhunters are defo the best in jazz fusion IMO..... Plenty of others that are equally good in different ways/genres, e.g...... Ron Carter & Philly Joe Jones or Scott LeFaro and Paul Motian in Jazz Quote

discreet Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Bernard Edwards and Tony Thompson. RIP both. Quote
Raslee Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Pierre Moerlen (RIP) & Mike Howlett... A Sprinkling of Clouds Quote

[/quote] Very definitely.... Worth a mention are Hooky and Stephen Morris from Joy Division....I've met a few drummers who've really rated Morris' playing and agree with them. Maybe not 'best' like Peart/Lee, but still great together. Edited October 22, 2015 by ahpook Quote
Lo-E Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) Oh, Man! I actually thought about Paul Jackson & Mike Clark when I saw the title of the thread, but I'm going to have to vote Levin/Bruford. Edited October 23, 2015 by Lo-E Quote
lowdown Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 There has been so many, with some, just over a period of one album or so. One of the most used (along with the Motown and Stax sections etc), must have been John Robinson and Louis Johnson. Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 [quote name='rjs1909' timestamp='1445570268' post='2892461'] Jack Bruce & Ginger Baker [/quote] These are the only two I've heard of in this thread so far... must get out more Quote
ChunkyMunky Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDg2CHxNsd4[/media] A little bit left of centre. Go on! Quote
DiceSociety Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 So many to choose from! I keep coming back to John Paul Jones / John Bonham when I need some inspiration. Driving, melodic, and most importantly, they know how to groove. Quote
ratman Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Duck Dunne and Al Jackson do it for me. And Steve Cropper. In my book he's a fully paid up member of this rhythm section. Pure gold. Quote
neilp Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 JPJ/Bonham for the groove, invention and elasticity Quote
madshadows Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 John Bonham & John Paul Jones, perfect combo !! John Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 It's great when you play with a good drummer though isn't it... someone it seems effortless to lock in with, someone who actually listens to what you're playing and adjusts their parts to sync up and you change bits of your basslines to suit their beats. Creating that foundation together... I've only had the pleasure of playing with a couple of drummers like this, one years ago when I was 19 and the one in my new band... I look forward to every rehearsal Quote
