Which drummer you would like to have played with?

[Bassman Sam]

I would have loved to play with Keith Moon, Jon Bonham, Carl Palmer and Ian Paice. What's you choice?

[Nail Soup]

Just one? John French aka Drumbo of Captain Beefheart’s Magic Band.

Whether I could produce some worthy bass lines is another matter!

[Reggaebass]

Sly Dunbar for me , he’s just an amazing drummer ☝️

Cozy Powell. Preferably on a dep gig for Rainbow somewhere in Germany in the 70s ..had I even been alive then! 🙂

Yeah, Cozy was great. I wouldn't mind being a dep there too.

I would have said Ginger Baker but he would have kicked the crap out of me.

[Reggaebass]

I saw Queen a few times back in the day and Roger Taylor was impressive, I remember his kit completely surrounded him 

[Doctor J]

Jimmy Chamberlin. If Corgan was there, too, with the Marshalls cranked to 11, that would be ok.

That would be my choice too... 

[Stingray5]

I can think of many drummers I'd love to work with, including Vinnie Colaiuta (Jeff Beck) and Danny Gotlieb (Pat Metheny), but if I had to pick just one it would have been Richie Hayward (Little Feat).

Jim Lindsay of Oranger - Keith Moon reincarnated as the Pink Panther

 

[Bassman Sam]

I've had the privilege of playing bass for John Coglhan , Ex Quo drummer. He was as tight as duck's butt, never locked in with anyone like that before.

[Drax]

Would have loved to play with Pierre Moerlen 

[Lozz196]

Matt Sorum of Guns N Roses/The Cult/Velvet Revolver, I just love the attack that he gets on the kit, plus he’s rock solid in his playing.

[Guest]

Jeff Porcaro, Vinnie Colauita, Will Calhoun, Clyde Stubblefield, Steve Gadd... the list goes on and on

I did also have the privilege of playing with an Ex Quo drummer, Jeff Rich, beautiful DW kit with the most awesome snare sound, that snare has some history.

Ludwig Black Beauty

Jeff plays a Ludwig Black Beauty Snare which was made in 1979. The drum was originally owned by Rick Allen from Def Leppard and was used on various Def Leppard albums including Pyromania and Hysteria.

The drum was also used on a Mettalica album, Master of Puppets. Jeff bought the drum off Rick whilst working with Def Leppard in 1984/5 after Rick lost an arm in a car accident.

Jeff has used the drum on many Status Quo albums and concerts and says, “This drum is without doubt one of the best rock snare drums ever produced. The sound is fantastic and it has never let me down”.

Mitch Mitchell would have kept me somewhat on my toes

Wow . Small world. I've played with him too. Canny drummer. Does he still use the big rack kit. It was awesome 

[gjones]

I'd like to play with Jim Keltner. He's drummed with many of my favourite bands and artists, over the years.

Even with the CV he has, he's still very humble.

Hates playing to a click track and understands the concept of playing ahead, or behind the beat.

[meterman]

Whoever it is who plays on this:

But if he’s not available then whoever’s on this would come a pretty close second:

Not arf!

[Lloyd80]

For me would have to be Chad Smith, Mr Bonham, Dave Grohl or Dave Lombardo...if I could keep up!!

[Jean-Luc Pickguard]

That's easy - Howard Grimes. I love the feel of all the stuff he played on at Hi
