I am no drummer. I come from a percussion family (three generations of drummers), though I play brass.
Here's the guy that really never gets any hype, who absolutley changed my life, along with some people already mentioned above^ like Airto and Clyde: Mr Keith LeBlanc, of Tackhead/The Maffia/Little Axe/On-U Sound and countless sessions. His Solo LPs are INcredible, for all you drummers out there looking for some interesting rhythms. Amazing complex breakdowns and time signature work, he rocks the most solid danceable beats I've ever heard.
