Seems like I got to this party way too late - probably a good thing, though I feel I may have missed out on a HOD comedy gem.
I think it is hard when listening to hit records to realise that the drummer on it came up with THE drum track for that record.
Groove is so important (and not just those funky grooves we all love)
Kenny has repeatedly come up with these kind of parts
I am playing on his UK Tama tour and I can't wait to learn from this master

Where's Randy the topic stopper when you need him? HAHA!
We talk about who's really playing in the jazz style, and they freak out and lock it, meanwhile this asshole is talking the biggest amount of insulting bullshit about some of todays great session drummers that I've ever heard.
Derek, Randy, Steve? DO SOMETHING!
BTW....I love Pelton's playing. No one groove's like that. He's coming from the Jordan, Drayton school, with that extra bit of southern chicken grease. He's the most respected session player of today. Plays on 5x the amount of albums as anyone. Don't knock him. You don't need sick chops to play an amazing groove. And to this day, I haven't heard anyone with sick chops play as in the pocket as the guys that are only known for playing time.

There's nothing to call him on.
There are no rights and wrongs when it comes to what you feel when you hear someone. Other than Pelton, Gadd for me is the only on in that list who's over all feel in track make me want to move my hips and cry all at the same time. Garibaldi as amazing as he is was never a session drummer. Omar is, but still, to me Pelton has the best feel.
By the time Pelton is Gadd's age he would have played 10x the amount of recordings. Like SDK, groove wise, I love that thing that Charley Drayton has.
But we can't really argue, they're all great players. Shawn's feel just kills me. I read this in a recording magazine, I don't remember which one. But if you include all the music where Shawn has been sampled, or where they have used loops of his drumming off of a loop CD, as well regular sessions, he has played on more recordings than Purdie and Gadd combined. And he's only about 38. I think.
Opinions are like a^&holes. You know. So let's put this to rest and get crazy dick outta here!
