Just an instant thought-but have you seen that indie film "Troublesome Creek"? Just curious.
I can't remember very well the names of the great rock drummers, but I can think of some bands with prominent drummers I like:The "standing drummers" are on machines, the "sitting drummers" are doing "analog-athletic" drumming..(am I wrong here?)
Rush (Neil Peart-I can remember the name..)
Nirvana (yes)
Led Zeppelin (yes)
Yes :-) (Bill Bruford?)
Chemical Brothers
Beck
The Police (Stewart)
Tool (I was "told" he uses two bass drum pedals)
The ClashMitch
