bobby elliott, hollies--supposedly all the other 60s brit bands sent their drummers to study him. listen to the classic hollies records--he's one swingin' cat
mitch mitchell, jimi hendrix--really wild, with real jazz chops; a perfect match for jimi. hendrix's later stuff with buddy miles was static and lumbering by comparison.
mick avory, kinks--sorta the poor man's charlie watts--steady, minimalist un-flashy. i'm always surprised at how good the kinks records sounded--well produced, impeccably arranged, uncluttered
