We all know that jazz percussionists generally put drummers of other genres to shame. Who are your favourites?
My all time favourite is Han Bennink. He's dynamic as all hell and is amazing in pretty much any setting.

I've been seeking out Larry Bunkers work for the last week, he's exactly what I want in a jazz drummer.
As far as contemporary drummers, I've got to go with Daisuke Niitome from mouse on the keys. Last edited by Euronomus; 08-20-2014 at 08:56 PM. |

Props to a couple of Fusion guys and their albums:
Billy Cobham - Spectrum (A bonafide Fusion classic) Lenny White - Venusian Summer/Adventures of Astral Pirates (Two Sc-Fi themed albums that just rock with that squiggly 70's Fusion sound...)

^And let's not forget Bitches Brew and Red Clay for Lenny White.
Also Max Roach is incredible, I love his work with Braxton and the M'Boom ensemble.

Well, Han Bennink came to my mind first as well...
Paul Lovens is incredible. You should check out "Regalia" together with Cecil Taylor. Just mindblowing drum/percussion work. Chris Cutler might be my favourite drummer, but he is no jazz drummer. But on the other hand Henry Cow's first album was at least partially JazzRock, so naming him is somewhat justified. Joey Baron is also wonderful, although he does a lot of rock and other stuff as well. Here's a solo performance: I also really like Chris Corsano. Incredibly talented guy.

These three are no slouches.
