Last Laugh: Did you ever catch his earlier band "Mystery Jones"...?

Holy crap... what a band...!!! I've seen them a couple-dozen times and every show was amazing. The reincarnation that became Two Ton Show was still "good"... but totally different.

Dave is a great guy and a great drummer. Two Ton Shoe isn't the same without him.

Bill Buford has always been my favorite
I am not a cymbal fan (sorry)
the frequency of cymbals bum me out
I love a drummer who sits in the groove
Jeff Porcaro is another

I can't believe Neil Pert has been mentioned yet so I'll say it.

Pert's a great drummer. When I saw Rush in '03, my jaw was hanging when he did his drum solo. He was just not an influence in my playing style.

Great call, Darxis, on Don Brewer of Grand Funk Railroad... One of my favorites!
Also, I'll add Les Warner, from The Cult
And Definitely... Matt Sorum!

GOD: Great clip.
Those aren't "quads" at 6:45... he's just pounding-out straight 1/8th notes on the kick while moving-around (and crossing-over) straight 1/16th-note single-stroke rolls between the snare & toms there.

What *I* find more impressive is around 2:55 where he does a 3/4 triplet ostinato between his kick-drum and left foot (triggering a tambourine sample) and he solos over that in other signatures and meters. VERY impressive.

Thnx for the clip.
