DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Drummer's Thread... Revisited

I'm too old and lazy to re-find the original thread that had so much activity/traction.

I tried to access the original thread... epic Clemfail.
If there is anyone who can merge this new thread with the old one, please feel free. Otherwise, I'll soldier on with this new thread starter.

4 decades ago, I asked my wife's Brother in-Law who he thought was the best 70's-'80's drum kit player.
Larry's answer: "Max Weinberg/E Street Band."

I countered with: "Stewart Copeland/The Police."
Ensued: a spirited, stimulating 30-minute debate about technique, time-keeping, and the role of The Drummer in a band.

Last night, I stumbled upon this gem. It made me think back on my conversation with Larz R. (R.I.P.).

In this video, Stewart not only gives fans some 'Cops' history, but also puts on a present-day
drum kit clinic.

Watch what this old man can still do, starting at 4:18 in the documentary

Ok...a few bad words in here, but it needs to slide.

Ringo was way under rated, and others, some mentioned here agree.

Plus, name a drum kit more famous than this kit.
