A friend of mine is currently playing keyboards and back ground vocals for COF. Zoe Marie Federoff.
And I agree. Nick Barker is great.

Blues drummers most often labor in obscurity, so it’s nice to see them acknowledged. Personally not my cup of tea, but I admire musicians with integrity that have passion for their art.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Gotta throw in some love for Neal Peart (RIP) and Dave Lombardo.

 

[Hardline]

Moe Purtill of the Glenn Miller Orchestra.

 

[JIMMYBUFFETT]

John Henry Bonham
Mitch Mitchell (Can't believe he hasn't been mentioned)

Stuart Copeland
Not a banger but as technically proficient as it gets. Rarely plays a traditional back beat, but he is always "there" when is supposed to be.

In my two years of hacking away on a kit. Copeland, Moon and Peart are by far the hardest for me to even delude myself I am somewhat sorta keeping up with.
