He's was not rock, but Buddy Rich was the greatest drummer who ever lived. He had 4 seperate brains. One connected to each arm, and one for each leg. He played seperate rythmic patterns with each appendage at the same time. I used to stay up late as a kid when he would show up on The tonight show with Carson, He would sit in on Ed Shaunessy's drum kit and just blow everyone away with the speed, finesse, and beautiful polyrythmic paterns he would play. Turns out he wss doing a lot of amphetamines, but his drumming was magic. Made me become a drummer. One who isn't worthy to carry his sticks, but then, no one is or was, or ever will be in my opinion. Look him up on youtube.
