My old band did a good few gigs with MC4. Don’t think they particularly liked us though.

What was the band? I'll ask.

[artisan]

Neil Peart 

He was the greatest rock drummer in my opinion.

He'd have made me look proper shite

[upside downer]

Meg White. We'd call our band Bom Bom and the Rootnotes.

It was The Shout

[bassace]

If Butch Miles had been on drums it would mean that I was with the Count Basie band. And that would have done me fine.

[fleabag]

The list is exhaustive,  but in no order of any description ..

Steve Gadd ( oooh if only )   Simon Phillips ,  Phil Collins  ( mainly because of his stunning work with Brand X )  Pierre Moerlin ,   Bonham of course,  Billy Cobham,  Bill Bruford ,  Michael Shrieve , Terry Bozzio ( his work with Zappa )  etc etc

[silverfoxnik]

First it'd be Sheila E. 

Then I guess it'd be Stewart Copeland, Clem Burke, Woody Woodmansey, Paul Thompson, Michael Shrieve (really showing my age here). 

Probably should say that I've had the pleasure of working with some great drummers over the years, the most notable of whom was a guy called Robbie France and he was phenomenonal! Made me a better musician.. 

And of course, @Dad3353 😁

Oh, good call for Billy Cobham - I love his playing!

Ian Paice. Great rock drummer but he can make any song swing. He also leaves plenty of space for the bass guitar, top man. A brilliant drummer who was so accomplished he would have made even me look good.

[PlungerModerno]

I think Brian Downey could be a lot of fun to share a share a stage with.

[WAYNESWORLD]

Jeff Porcaro ,Simon Philips , Shannon Forrest think there is a theme starting to develop here!,!!!

[JottoSW1]

Dave Weckl, Mike Clark, Tony Williams. If only I had even a scintilla of their talent.

Oh and Harvey Mason too.

[bearhart74]

Dennis Chambers, Mike Clark, Zigaboo, Larnell Lewis or Tony Allen.

Too bad none of them would want to play with me...

Bill Ward from Sabbath or Jaki Liebezeit from Can. Sooooooo much fun to be had with these two!

Ooooooh Tony Allen would be life changing! Good shout.

[Guest]

Ooh and Steve Ferrone. His drumming on Chaka Khan’s What ‘Cha Gonna Do For Me is just sublime.

[JottoSW1]

The fearsome Luke Holland on a more metally mood. Or Thomas Haake if I could get round the complexity.

Bill Bruford - again complexity.

[Bassman Sam]

I just thought. Alan White. He wasn't too shabby. Shame I am.

Fabulous drummers I did get to play with, Micky Waller, Glen LeFleur, Henry Spinetti, Graham Walker and for 2 songs, Kenny Jones.

Wow Chris, you played with 3 of my favourites - Micky Waller, Henry Spinetti and Kenney Jones?  - respect!

I'll add Charlie Watts and Max Weinberg (E-Street Band) too.

For me, any drummer that I would want to play with, would not want to play with me!  That said, a good drummer really lifts my game (although it sometimes takes me a while to find something that works with the new drummer).

I am very impressed with Gilson Lavis (ex-Squeeze, and now playing with Jools Holland).  I admire his ability to play the right rhythm for every track.  He was so good on Chic's Good Times, that I had assumed that Nile had bought his own rhythm section with him!
