Peep them if you haven't already, nice samples and quite a few open drum breaks.

Nobody into the Big Band Drummers like Paul Humphrey, Willie Bobo, Shelly Manne,and can't forget Louis BELLSON , If you never heard Louis Bellson than you need to look that man up.This guy can drum like no other.

Billy Cobham, Buddy Rich, and Bernard Purdie.

As Philly & Salsoul disco is my thing it has to be Earl Young, with Larry Washington on congas.

^^^^ Aaaaah... YES! Good call on that one featherboy!

Anyone got the Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich drum battle album? thats two of the sickest right there goin at it plus samples galore, but they were so live you have to just listen to it......

Can't believe know one has mentioned Tony Williams, Max Roach and the matey out the Weather Report ain't bad either lol......
