ambient Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 These are pretty cool. I’m not too keen on the synth sounds in some of the videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Smalls Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 It's almost impossible to single out just a great rhythm section as it tends to be a collective effort. So in terms of groove and musical interest as a whole band how's about: Hiromi Uehara - Piano David Fiuczynski - Guitar Tony Grey - Bass Martin Valihora - Drums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I suppose that I could sit all day and list great rhythm sections but I always thought that Jeff Berlin and Steve Smith were an absolutely killer combo. I know most listeners would think of Bill Bruford as being the obvious choice and it's fair to say that he and Jeff certainly kicked donkey together (just listen to the live concerts of Jeff, Bruford and Kazumi Watanabe). But I always felt that Steve Smith gave loads of of punch and power when he was locked in with Jeff. There was just something about the way that they could catch each other's accents and really nail the parts. I would also nominate Bunny Brunel and Dennis Chambers as another amazing rhythm section. Their work on the first two CAB records in the Chambers/MacAlpine/Brunel group was amazing. Dennis is rightly respected as the drummer's drummer. I believe there may be no finer drummer around today. Even Jeff Berlin spoke of the learning experience in playing with Dennis and what a challenge it can be to find the one with such a sensational drummer who can displace beats all day. On the CAB records, Bunny plays super silky lines that leave loads of space for Dennis to really let fly on his kit. The effect is sensational. I think CAB are surely one of the most underrated fusion groups around and are well worth a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drTStingray Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I can think of quite a few but this one is fabulous:- Phil Gould Mark King Boon Gould Classic Level 42 line up and my favourite Level 42 drummer (though the current one is great as was Gary Husband).

At his creative peak in the 1970s, Stevie Wonder was one of the funkiest men on the planet.. +1 also on the Roxy and Magazine rhythm sections. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 You can name most successful bands and recording artists out there. There are no great bands or singers that don't have outstanding rhythm sections behind them. At all levels, we are the rocket fuel that propels every front man, superstar and ego maniac prancing around at the front of a stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work by the Shard when it was going up - the mega-tons of steel and concrete thet went underground before that structure started going upwards. So, the way I see it is the rhythm section puts down that foundation, and you can't build a big beautiful high thing unless you have a rock solid foundation. That's my job, and I like my job 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
