Not sure if anybody mentioned the recently passed Richie Hayward who was the Little Feat powerhouse who seemed to have 6 hands and 4 feet...he was one of the reasons Little Feat were considered by many (including me) to be the best live band in its day...and he sang too. He gave up nothing to the best jazz drummers, and killed it live as an insanely funky monster. Feat were astonishing in the 70s Lowell George era (and later not too shabby) and were faves of Zep, the Stones (famously Lowell refused to let Mick jam with 'em at a show...thought he wasn't good enough for Feat) and pretty much any working musician. That music still kills me...Richie is missed.
Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers
Since the best rock drummer thread has garnered some interest, this thread could create some diverse and interesting respones. My 3 are as follows...
1-Gil Moore-Triumph-Being Canadian.
2-Jerry Shirley-Humble Pie/Fastway-Didn't sell enough records.
3-Roger Taylor-Queen-Overshadowed in his own band.
