Time to pay tribute to those unsung heroes of Blues, Jazz and Rock 'N Roll. That's right... I'm talkin' about drummers.
While thinking about this thread, I considered several drummers to start things off. Gene Krupa would've been an obvious choice. Ditto for Charlie Watts, Jaki Leibezeit, Bill Bruford or Tony Allen. And then I remembered the King Of The Backbeat, aka The Human Timekeeper, Mr. Al Jackson, Jr., who laid down some wicked beats as the house drummer for Stax Records.
Might not know the name, but I'll bet you know the songs.
Think I'll spin a few...
