Drummer edition.

Who are your favorite drummers and what are your favorite albums in terms of drums?

Plus talk about all things jazz related

[Benjamin Rivera]

Favorite drummers would be the Elvin, Blakey, Roach, Jo Jones, Tony Williams, Billy Hart, Al Foster, Lenny White, Brian Blade, Chris Dave, Ari Hoenig, and Eric Harland. I know its a long list but I would feel bad leaving any of these guys out.

Ill try to keep the album list shorter: Clifford Brown & Max Roach (also all the Brown Roach stuff and Saxophone Colossus), Night in Tunisia, Out to Lunch, My Favorite Things, Mwandishi, Agharta, Voyager, Destinations Unknown, etc. stuff with the guys above.

[Hunter Parker]

If I were to record an album my wishlist of drummers would be Eric Harland, Jeff Watts, Donald Edward, or Marcus Gilmore. Or Johnathan Blake.

These guys probably wouldn't exist without greats like Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Joe Chambers, and Roy Haynes.

[Elijah Walker]

what do you recommend with Al Foster?

[Camden Roberts]

The stuff with Miles from the 70s is great, so Agharta, Get Up With It, Dark Magus, etc. He also played with Miles in the 80s and theres some good live stuff from that time. Thats the stuff I most know him from, but he's played around. There's a Dexter album he's on, and a Chris Potter album, lotsa stuff.

[Mason Collins]

Good thread OP.

Tony Williams and Vinnie Colaiuta are legitimately the best drummers of all time in my opinion.

[Nolan Carter]

>Clifford Brown & Max Roach
good taste

[Jacob Gutierrez]

What do you recommend with Joe Chambers? I haven't heard of him before.

[Ian Peterson]

I think pretty much any of the Blue Note albums he's on are great, especially any by Wayne Shorter or Bobby Hutcherson
