Joe Morello. Very good drummer--Brubeck played some pretty sophisticated ryhthms. The entire Time Out album is played in unusual time signatures-not your basic 12 bar blues in 4/4 time.

I think Gene Krupa was awesome....I am a big swing fan and Have Benny Goodman on my Ipod along with Glenn Miller!

Ronnie I can't disagree with you there.....but Krupa was doing it years before Buddy Rich! He was a trail blazer of sorts! Your talking mid to late 1930's he was bangin' like nobody else! I remember the first time I saw Buddy Rich....it was on The Tonight Show w/Johnny Carson! I had never seen or heard of him before and this "old guy" sat down at that drum set and I was just bLOwN AwAY!!! He was amazing!

Joe Morello has some great chops !
A good sign of a great drummer, just watch how effortless his left hand is (right hand drummer)
Rich had arguably the greatest left hand of any right handed drummer ever !
