Great Rhythm Sections

[outsider70]

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='55947' date='Sep 5 2007, 02:10 PM']McVie and Fleetwood. Not the best musicians in the world, but they were so tight you wouldn't be able to get a cigarette paper between them.

I guess that comes from 40 years of playing in the same band.

I wish.......[/quote]


+1 for McVie and Fleetwood

+1 for Lee/Peart

Jaco, Alex Acuna, Manolo Badrena - Weather Report c.1977

[paul, the]

The best rhythm sections are when the bass and drums are interdependent. You know that feeling you get where the drummer starts off and then the bass joins and complements it perfectly. Magic.

Moon the Loon and Thunderfingers.


RIP both of you.

[quote name='MB1' post='56536' date='Sep 6 2007, 02:34 PM']MB1.
Mark King and Phil Gould/Gary Husband.[/quote]

Which one though? I've got to say i've always preferred Gary husband - he always seems to have put more into being a drummer than gould.
