As for the best of the best I'll agree with my Southern friend that you'll find most in jazz bands. My personal fave is Billy Cobham and his classic album Spectrum with Tommy Bolin. More recent drummers I like are jazz drummer Tom Brectlein hooking up with Roscoe Beck and Greg Koch on the blues album Live On the Radio, Stanton Moore of Galactic and the drummer that plays with Jim Weider, Rodney Holmes. Here's Jim's MySpace, click on "No Exit Strategy". Good stuff!
http://www.myspace.com/jimweiderbandI know, always 5 days behind. I meant to post on this, Billy C is also a favorite. I had a CD back in the late 90's that was a live one night only recording, a little 4 piece supagroup of Billy, Stanley Clarke, Larry Carlton, and nadja something or other on this electronic windjammer thing. there were only 6 or 7 songs to the whole thing. I cannot remember the name of it but will try and research as my CD was left somewhere in Mobile. Do you remember a CD like this?
Curby, I mailed you this morning and then realized it went out as Tres Smith. was hoping you recognized it from the topic.
Tres,
The name of the album was simply called Live. Besides Billy, Larry and Stanley, Deron Johnson, and it's Najee, appear with them. The album was a Sony Records release (7/12/94). There's a nice version of the Doobies "Minute By Minute" to open things.
