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.

MB1.
Would have to go with Gary Husband, me thinks, much more power, aggression and positivity.

Depends how you like your funk I guess.
I remember reading an interview with Neil Peart, where he said that Phil Gould was one of his favourite drummers.

[quote]i also think the guys from dillinger escape plan are tight.. not sure of the bassists name but the drummers name is chris pennie[/quote]

Chris is no longer the drummer, but they've had 3 bassists since the start. Adam Doll, Jeff Wood and currently Liam Wilson.

Id also like to add Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine!!

[Paul Cooke]

Walter Trout's current crew: Rick Knapp on Bass & Joey Pafumi on Drums

he's on the UK leg of his world tour in October... some 28 dates in UK

if you get a chance, see him... you won't regret it... pure blues power, probably THE best blues guitar player in the world. Certainly give EC a run for the money.

I was lucky back in March to be in the front of the crowd for his show. I was so close, I could have helped him play his guitar...

[The Funk]

Stanley Clarke & Lenny White (Return To Forever)

[acidbass]

Gerry McAvoy
Rod deAth

...of the Rory Gallagher band. Tight, funky and a great basis for Rory to lay down his lines!

[Chop]

Erm... don't think anyones gone for Charley Charles and Norman Watt-Roy.....Has anyone ever seen a tighter band than The Blockheads in full flow?

+1 for Sly & Robbie

[alexclaber]

Billy Cobham and Lee Sklar / Ron Carter

Does fusion get any better than Spectrum?

[The Funk]

I'm not going to answer that question. [i]Spectrum[/i] is a great album though. I'm trying to figure out which of my 'friends' has nicked my copy.

Shelia E and Levi Seacer, Jr. who played drum and bass respectively for Prince on his Sign 'o' the Times and Lovesexy tours were a brilliant rhythm section....

She was quite good looking IIRC.....

Quick, pass the eye-liner - I'm in the wrong rhythm section!

[Chezz55]

My three favourite rhythm sections are:

LITLE FEAT : Kenny Gradney (Bass) + Ritchie Hayward (Drums) + Sam Clayton (Percussion)

DREAM THEATER : John Myung (Bass) + Mike Portnoy (Drums)

THE BLOOZERS : Me (Bass) + Martin Saunders (Drums)

Cheers.

Jeff Ament & Matt Cameron of Pearl Jam - Jeff + any of the other drummers have been good but Cameron is so very classy and has impeccable time-keeping.

Darryl Jones & Charlie Watts - I like the Stones stuff sounding tight, many people don't but these two mesh in a way that gives the old tunes new life.

+1 For Norman and Charley in the Blockheads,but I've heard Norman with Steve Monti in Wilko Johnston's band.Just as tight!

[xilddx]

+1 "Les Claypool and the Brain." Bryan Mantia if you are searching youtube for Brain.

I nominate Jah Bunny (kit) and Vivian Weathers/Floyd Lawson both on bass from Linton Kwesi Johnson's Forces of Victory
