To Those We Owe (Drumming) Allegiance

Some geniuses I'd just like to share.
I'm not sure how many of you are into drumming or are familiar with well-known forefathers of drumming, but I wanted to post/introduce you all to some.

Meet Weckl, Calaiuta and Gadd.

They are fantastic. Let me know what you think. Similarly, another good musician to look into is JoJo Mayer.

Frank Zappa influenced Italian rapper.

Here's a pretty interesting guy.

From what I've gathered, most of his work is this weird and musical. Lot's of unusual combinations to bring into his rap. It often works well, and it's often very interesting. The only thing I wish is having the ability to understand what's being said.

Good Ol' Boy

Ray LaMontagne. If you're not listening to him already, you should be. He's a relatively new musician who seems to have found his knack on the first try. This soft-spoken yet gravely singer hits folk and country with a blues influence that is really fantastic to listen to. Not to mention, his lyrics leave you wanting for those "good ol' days".

Enjoy.
