Will Kennedy
Russ Kunkel
Dennis Chambers
Paul Wertico

Stewart Copeland
These and many…"
John Carroll replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"Larri was the absolute King of the modern 4/4 shuffle. Nobody has since played it the way he did. The summer he and Jeff P died, the world lost a whole lotta groove! Larri, although I never knew him personally, was certainly one-of-a-kind! "
Ben Harris replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"Mike, I'm not certainly not Judy, but I do understand exactly what she means. Larri had a way of laying a groove unlike any drummer I have ever heard, let alone had the honor of working with. He worked on projects I engineered for Ronnie…"
John Carroll replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"Anyone ever heard of Smoky Dacus? When it comes to influence, he's kind of a big deal! Read and learn....

Just sayin'... ;-)"
Mike Radcliffe replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"
Judy, can you elaborate on that some? All I really know of Larry's playing is what he did on one Journey album and Steve Perry's solo stuff. I wouldn't know a Vince Gill song if *I* played on it. :-)"
Judy Rodman replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"I would add Larry Londin. In my opinion he literally invented the grooves that launched careers like Vince Gill's."
Tim Hedge replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"Just some of my favorites...
Jeff Porcaro
Steve Gadd
Billy Cobham
Steve Jordan
Larrie London
John Bonham
Gene Krupa
Carl Palmer
Buddy Rich
Neil Peart"
David Lemonds replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"I have to throw in Chester Thompson on the list........fantastic player"
Michael Britt replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"And I don't think I saw Phil Collins anywhere in the lists... Has anyone NOT airdrummed "In The Air Tonight"? That's got to be influential..."
Mike Radcliffe replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"Haha... Tom Petty's drummer. :-) The irony is that sometimes (in certain context) being a great drummer means not being noticed.
I often say, a drummer is like an umpire. If they don't get noticed, it usually means they did a great…"
Shelly Rann replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"Somebody finally mentioned Hal Blaine. Poor Dave Weckl, all those acrobatics and no vote. To me, it's what a drummer doesn't do that counts the most. How about Mickey Curry, Phil Rudd and Tom Petty's drummer. Time is more than a…"
Mike Radcliffe replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"We've all probably been influenced by Hal Blaine without even knowing it."
Michael Britt replied to Al VanPliet/K9 Kohl's discussion Most influential Drummers"No Carter Beauford? Michael Urbano?"
