A sad day for me.

Ginger Baker was a legend.
In honorarium, some of my favorite current, active drummers.
3) Martin Lopez - Opeth, Currently Soen.

I don't know how he does it, but Lopez infuses feeling and subtlety that should not be available to a drummer.
4) Martin Axenrot - Opeth

I wanted to dislike him. But somehow, he just kept getting better and better.

Heresy: Might be better than Lopez.
5) Antonio Sanchez - Pat Metheny

Yeah. I've mentioned him previously.

He's that good.
6) Mike Portnoy - Dream Theater - now solo projects.

If you want a laugh, watch Lars Ulrich TRY to audition for Portnoy's job on YouTube.

Postscript: My buddy bought a drum kit off Portnoy 20 years ago based on my advice.

Mike is the best.
7) Chris Quirarte - Redemption

His short staccato bursts are almost impossible to replicate.

Don't believe me? Try to follow him. Impossible.
8) Nico McBrain - Iron Maiden

Because Iron Maiden is so much better than you think.

Heavy Metal old school rep. True.

Brilliant musicians. Also true.

I will hear no dissension.
9) Neil Peart.

Please don't argue.

No one has done more to advance the current state of drumming than Neil.

He remains a god.
