Re: SO, who is/are your favorite drummer(s)?

I strongly agree when it comes to versatility and even elegance Steve Gadd is hard to beat. Together with Max Roach (who broke the traditional mould) they have to be my all time favourites.
When we talk about effectiveness another drummer comes to mind, Art Blakey with The Jazz Messengers , he played the best crescendo rolls ever!!
Rolls not being my strongest point, I always was in awe of that.

Cheers, Harry
