Hi,
 
Borderline jazz ... but his own albums were more jazz oriented than they were rock oriented ... Pierre Moerlin
 
Gong also toured many times with another jazz drummer ... Pip Pyle.
 
Catching the differences are interesting ... on the live albums with Pip, the music is jazz'ier. When it has Pierre with them it has a really powerful rock bottom end ... more like fusion end for my ears.
 
Also, in the early days, I doubt that anyone would say that Robert Wyatt was not too shabby a drummer ... he was very good, specially coloring music that was being somewhat "anti-music".

Louie Bellson of the Count Basie swung harder than anyone. He is the epitome of big band drumming. As for Buddy Rich, he doesn't compliment the song like a jazz drummer should. For smaller ensembles, check out Elvin Jones on John Coltrane's masterpiece A Love Supreme. Paul Motian is a modern drummer who may be of interest. It's definitely an acquired taste though because his drumming has an atmospheric quality to it.

Actually you made me think of Sean Reinert, he is a very good jazz/rock drummer, although his style is also heavily influenced by death metal

OK.  Quick look at my iTunes collection I see I have a version of Moanin' as done by Brian Auger's Hammond Organ Big Band.  I'll have to check it out.  I do see it on You Tube too.

yup, in a way, you could even say that his contribution make him the great-grandfather of progTongueBig smileLOL
 
Long said it: a number of budding prog drummers of the 60's listened and even try to play along to Morello's recordings - Castillian Drums being a challenge on DBQ At Carnegie Hall - so I'll be happy to set the limit at 'one of the goodfathers of prog', especially when he only passed away in the last year.
 
I'm losing the thread's direction here, but have Alphonse Mouzon and Lenny White, in that school of heavier jazz rock rock drumming that Billy Cobham emplifies, been mentioned? Another powerhouse is Gary Husband - I've sat 6 feet away from his kit in a small audience, when he was playing with  Holdsworth - the deafening was worth it for the experience. And then Jon Hiseman (we have his biography reviewed elsewhere)??????????

You sir, are on it.

Weckl is also amazing, as well as David DiCenso. Check this:



He's a demon in fusion drumming, was the drummer on Hiromi's "Another Mind"

One reason of my infatuation with Mina Agossi (besides her singing and her gorgeous looks Embarrassed) is that she likes her jazz heavy on the drums/percussives:

They certainly are playing a very contemporary take of the genres they tackle.

It was a very small underground (literally) club so it evertything was just as loud regardless of where you stayed. I'm sure that this kind of small and very enclosed space intensifies the sound and the sonic experience.  But yeah, he blasts them.

I'll look up those albums, thanks!
