There's another guy who plays with Lou Reed who is pretty good, Tony "Thunder" Smith. He used to play with jan Hammer and Jeff Beck and played on a Pat DiNizio (Smithereens) record. I liked his grooving on that disc.
Derek DeFields,
You ask by whom is Carlos under-rated? Well yes, he got tonnes of work, and WAS recognised by producers and the like, but in conversations with other professional drummers I still get asked "Who?" when I bring his name up.
I appreciate being recognised by drummers means very very little and it's producers and MD's that get you gigs, but in my very humble opinion, Carlos Vega never recieved the praise from his own 'sect' of drummers, (certinally not from the drumming press, Modern Drummer and the like) he so very much deserved.
No MD cover? C'mon...
MP
Stan Lynch (Tom Petty) & Pick Withers (ex Dire Staits) are 2 that I have always liked.
Good call on Withers and Lynch, ashio. Stan really had a deep pocket with Petty. He was one of those "texture" players...really could coax different sounds out of his drums and cymbals....similar to Weckl...."You Got Lucky" is a great example. Petty was on SNL supporting (I think) the "Damn the Torpedos" album...I forget the tune they played (I think it was on the B-side of that album), but Stan was swinging his ass off!
I second the vote on Mark Brzezicki. Love his work with Pete Townshend. More advanced than your average rock drummer.
I have to add Mick Fleetwood to my list....he's got a great groove. Had a great sound with Fleetwood Mac in the late 70's/early 80's. Another texture player...really supported the music creatively. Unfortunately, he'll probably never get recognized for his groove the way Gadd and Porcaro have.
I'll also add Blair Cunningham for the groove department.
Someone mentioned Carmine Appice....he was ahead of his time with the old Vanilla Fudge stuff. "Keep Me Hangin' On" is a masterpiece of drumming. He had kind of a "middle-finger in the air" attitude....which is one of Vinnie's greatest traits, IMHO.

Hi Guys,
Yeah, nice topic !!!
I would say, Philip "Fish" Fisher (Fishbone), Ed Green, James Gadson, Benny Benjamin, Phil Gould, Larry Mullen Jr, Rodger Carter, Mokhtar Samba, Paco Sery, Andr? C?ccar?lli, Jojo Mayer, Gene Lake, Per Lindvall, Carlton Barret (peace to his soul) (Bob Marley), Steve Jordan, Jonathan "Sugar Foot" Moffet, Gerald Heyward, Willie Jones (Roy Hargrove), Gerry Brown, Freddy White (EWF), Ian Mosley (Marillion), Alan White (Yes), Stockley (Mint Condition), Mike Baker, Tony Thompson (peace to his soul)(Chic, Bowie, madonna), Narada Michael Walden, Neal Wilkinson, "Pistol" Allen, Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, Ringo, Charlie Watts, i stop here for today...
Peace.
Oups, I forget one name...
The great Ramy Antoun who is on Tour with Seal.
He plays pocket like a bad morfo so check him out !!!
Peace.
A couple more that may have already been mentioned; Idris Muhammed (buy Charles Earland's Black Talk! - pure, raw, GROOVE!) and Chris Whitten, who I came across after buying a live Dire Straits album that was in a sale, turned out to have some amazing, really solid drumming on with incredible feel. I think he also did some work with Eric Clapton at some point.
Oh and JD Blair - who On Victor Wooten's Live in America album, as well as having some amazingly tight playing, has the greatest live recording of a drum kit and cymbals I've ever heard! So crisp and clear... [img]cool.gif[/img]

Thanks, Tombo! Years ago, I saw a Brazilian TV video of Lyle Mays with Mark Walker where he played a samba-jazz in a very authentic way. Later, I saw him in other inspiring videos (also from Brazilian TV) with Michael Brecker and Paquito D'Rivera. Then, I decided to look for recordings with him and, fortunately, I found a few albums with Oregon and Paquito D'Rivera, two of my favorite artists. Now, I just bought Paquito D'Rivera's "Tico Tico" (which features Portinho and Mark Walker on drums) and I loved that cd! I haven't listened to Arturo/Paquito cd but I want to check out it in the future. Another American who plays Brazilian music very well is Mike Shapiro, who played with Gary Meek (Dave Weckl band), Airto Moreira and others. Years ago, I attended a show of John Patitucci with Mike Shapiro, here in Rio de Janeiro, and that show was great!!!
Man, you guys are mentioning some great cats that I didn't think of.
And Walker & Shapiro are indeed really good players, of what I've heard of them.
I'll add a few more:
Chris Layton [for that 'SRV pocket']
Paulo Braga [NYC latin-jazz/afro-brazilian drummer]
Andy Newmark [I'm sure someone already named him!]
Sly Dunbar
Harvey Mason & Mike Clark [if not already named]
Trilok Gurtu, Zakir Hussein, & many of the other exceptional middle eastern players are underrated to the mass public.
That Swiss, Swedish, or Norwegian cat we spoke of here a while back [can't remember his name]...I think he may have played w the Esbjorn Svensson trio at Friehofer's Saratoga...
John Staten, Karl Denson & Tiny Universe's drummer...a very good & UR player.
Mean Willie Green [Neville Bros]...cat has a great pocket, & is very musical.
BH - Is that the same Tony Smith who played on fusion guitarist Daryl Dobson's Mind Electric album [alongside Kenwood Dennard]?
[BTW] - Tombo -
..."Magella [CAN's Virg] C"...
...& Vito [the Vinnie of Italy!] Rezza [img]wink.gif[/img] ...

How about Duduka Da Fonseca? I'm sure you know him. I had a few lessons with him. Great brazilian drummer. Played with Astrud Gilberto and has his own brazilian jazz band: Trio Da Paz.
i would say omar hakim and marvin "smitty" smith, ive never really heard them being mentioned in any magazines or in message boards!

Hi Tombo. Duduka is a great Brazilian drummer, for sure! (and wrote a great instructional book!). I have the two first albums of Trio da Paz, very good ones. He is very influenced by Edison Machado, a late master of Samba-jazz. Supposedly, Edison Machado was the the first person to use ride cymbal in samba, he created the basic vocabulary of samba-jazz. If you are interested in knowing more about Brazilian jazz, here are some nice recordings:
EDISON MACHADO - "Edison Machado ? Samba Novo" - the roots of samba-jazz are here, the blend of samba rhythms and American hard-bop. Very good album!!!
RIO 65 TRIO - this trio released at least two albums ("A Hora e vez da MPM" and "Rio 65 Trio") and features Edison Machado on drums, Dom Salvador on piano and S?rgio Barroso on bass.
MEIRELLES E OS COPA 5 - Eponymous album - another old samba-jazz album, with Dom Um Rom?o(Weather Report) and Edison Machado on drums. Recently, they released a new album, called "Samba Jazz", with Robertinho Silva (Milton Nascimento, Wayne Shorter, George Duke), another old master of Brazilian rhythms.
TRIO DA PAZ - released 4 albums, I guess. All of them were released in USA.
DUDUKA DA FONSECA - "Samba Jazz Fantasia", with Romero Lubambo (Trio da Paz), John Scofield, Billy Drewes etc, nominated to Grammy 2003.
BRASILIA - "River Wide" - with Romero Lubambo on guitar and Ted Moore on drums (who plays samba very well, too!).
EGBERTO GISMONTI - "Antologia" - a collection with some of his best compositions (I don't know if it was released in USA or Europe).
HERMETO PASCOAL - he is my favorite Brazilian musician, with very original and intrincated tunes. Two great drummers have played with him: Nen? and M?rcio Bahia. My favorites are: "Festa dos Deuses" (released in Brazil and Germany), "Montreux Jazz Festival" (live), "Slave Mass" (released in Japan), "S? N?o Toca Quem N?o Quer" (released in USA), "Hermeto Pascoal & Grupo" and "Mundo Verde Esperan?a" (his latest recording).
JOANNE BRACKEEN - "Take a Chance", with Duduka da Fonseca and Eddie Gomez (on bass).
EDU RIBEIRO/ DANIEL ALCANTARA - "Nem C?u nem Mar" - this recent album revisits the old samba-jazz sound and is a very good cd. Edu Ribeiro is my favorite samba-jazz drummer of the new generation, with a very good technique, vocabulary and new ideas.
SIZ?O MACHADO - "Quinto Elemento" - a nice album from bassist who played with Ivan Lins and many others. Edu Ribeiro plays in two tracks.
RAMON MONTANHAUR - "Boyya" - Ramon uses multiple pedals and have expanded independence to the next level in Brazilian music, like Alex Acuna and Horacio Hernandez did in Latin music.
MEDUSA - with a more modern language (with some fusion influences), they released two albums in 80's - eponymous and "Ferrovias" - featuring Chico Medori, a underrated Brazilian drummer.
Other two albums that I could include here are:
GEORGE DUKE's "A Brazilian Love Affair" and WAYNE SHORTER's "Native Dancer", both with a mix of Brazilian and American musicians.
Fuse! You rock man, I agree. Brice???? I'm amazed that name was even mentioned in here. He's one of the sickest!!! Grooves that would baffle even VinCola. Some of that African music is just so OUT.
I agree, Steve Hass, but also Ari Hoenig out of NYC.
I disagree with Joey Heredia though. He get's lot's of press, and if you ask any of the latin pros like Sanchez or Negro they'll tell you he always turns the clave around. Not only that, I heard some really sad stories from Chris Botti about Heredia totally train wrecking on his gig.
Also Thierry, I saw him play at the Bitter End in NYC, his time was like a roller coaster.
But the rest of the names I agree with. Everyone knows who these guys are though, they're just not in that mainstream "modern drummer" scene. But so what? They work more than most of the guys who are. Especially Ralph Humphrey.
Did I hear someone knock Keith Carlock earlier in this post? I can't disagree more. I think you're underrating him.
I went to school with Keith at North Texas- he was tearin' it up back then. Played snare on the award-winning drumline- his hands were amazing. Played in the top lab bands. Both him and I moved to NYC around the same time. Around '96 or'97. I've seen him play live numerous times- especially in New York with with Wayne Krantz. I was there the night that Donald Fagen sat in on Rhodes and discovered Keith. He has his own identifiable style which is unheard of these days, plus he plays BETTER under pressure. sure, guys can understand what he's doing- but his execution and consistency are top-notch. The guy got the Sting gig without an audition...hello!?? What does that tell you. I say good for him- he deserves it. He may not be my favorite(and no we're not friends BTW), but he's definitely NOT overrated. Of course, relax...this is only my opinion too...
My vote for underrated:
Paul VanWageningen(Andy Narell, others)
Roidney Holmes(Check out Steve Kimock DVD)
Ricky Sebastian(Vinnie without the big name gigs)
Mark Walker(authentic feeling 'Latin' stuff
Peace
Vito Rezza is from Canada.
Great list 'Navega', i agree with many of your choices !
Robbin DiMaggio, Paul DeLong, Joe Travers, Michael Barsimanto, Frank Briggs, Lou Molino (Anyone know what he's doing these days?) and many more.
'JoJo' should definately be up there with the 'Greats', popularity-wise.

Good pont, cjbdrm.
I dont think Carlock is necessarily UR either. I dig his playing. & I think we can all understand that he "ain't gettin the big gigs by being a hack."
But i think the orig sentiment was prob just coming from the POV of his taking the chair after "the Man." [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Because as much as I dig KAY-cee, he just "ain't VEE-cee"...[Not trying to turn this into a competition or anything... [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]

To be honest, I was a little surprised when he got the gig...he's a very dynamic and sensitive player. I didn't think he had the power of VC because he has such a light touch. I guess I was wrong. If he didn't have arena chops before, he got them from playing with the Blues Brothers and Steely Dan, that's for sure!
I hear ya man.
But these days, of the clips I've seen, it seems KC can whack 'em tubs pretty good when he wants ta' [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]cool.gif[/img] ...
He grooves hard, & is sensitive to the music when needs be...& that's all Sting, Dan, & the rest want, to be sure. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

i noticed that someone said Ricky Sebastian was Vinnie without big name gigs. WTF is going on here? hahahaha! Someone's smoking crack and it ain't me.
First of all, Vinnie can't begin to touch the second line and Brazilian grooves that Ricky plays. Vinnie's not into latin, he says so himself. Ricky is amazing at that stuff. And Ricky is not nearly the time player Vinnie is. Last time I heard Ricky try and lay down a funk groove, the tune reached about 5 different tempos before settling. Ricky's also not nearly as musical when playing polyrhythmic fills or odd meters. Again I'm not talkin out my of butt here, I studied with Ricky years ago at DC in NYC. And I've known Vince for many years.
They are as different as apples and oranges. yet, still fruit. duh. HA!
But still, Ricky is not in the public drumming eye, I agree he should be more noted.
I'm goin to go out on a limb here and say, I don't understand why drummers have to be rated in the first place underrated, overrated, who cares? It seems that everyone is falling for this corperate bulldong all over the country and now it's landed in music, or drumming I should say.
You have to understand, Modern Drummer and other magazines don't give a shit who can PLAY and who can't. It's all about who sells the most drums. If you stepped into a club in NYC 4 years ago, who were they talking about? Shawn Pelton, Keith Carlock, Steve Hass, Ari Hoenig. Now, Shawn was already playing on million CDs and had the drum chair on SNL for 10years. But you never heard about him in MD until a couple of years ago. Keith was a no name until Steely Dan and later Sting. Steve has done a ton of great gigs and is now steady with The Manhattan Transfer, not a big enough name, yet the best vocal group on the planet with 12 grammys. Ari is ridiculous, playing with Kenny Werner and doing a ton of jazz gigs and writing for MD.
I wouldn't say they're underrated, if anything they work and play as much music if not more than any of the drumming stars. They just don't sell as many drums so they're are not mainstream drum ad material. Shawn and Keith are now known because their endorsee's chose to put them in ads. But they're not playing any better than they did before you knew them. However on the scene in NYC names like HASS, Clarence Penn, Hoenig, are talked about nightly. Sometimes to the point of annoyance. It seems like drummers are the only instrumentalists who live in the controled media world of magazines and DVDs. If you went out and became a part of the music culture you would become familiar with who's really hustling and being innovative out there, rather than who the media choses to show you so they can make money.
Well!
Guess that settles it!
I agree with both your posts! [SDK & Flarob]
& Vinnie's "latin" is indeed the more "fusiony," & he has candidly admitted to that. But it's still bad-a**, tho... ;c)
& Weckl, as great as his is, will tell you the same thing about himself ["I'm a 'gringo,' what can I say";c)]...but He still lays waste when he plays his fusion-latin stylings.
But Ricky is indeed more the authentic one of the 3. But then again, no one is VC or DW either. ;cp
Now I'm gonna back outta this b4 Flarob [or Dazz!] gets a hold of me [the whole 'comparing musicians obsession' thing]...;c)
I will say tho, that MD tried in the beginning & intermediate years [for them] to give some love to the 'up & comings,' 'unknowns,' & underdogs [into the 80's & some 90's] ...i dont know what theyre doing now, as i havent bought mag 1 from them in years [img]eek.gif[/img]
<font color="#a62a2a" size="1">[ August 26, 2004 06:28 PM: Message edited by: FuseU1 ]</font>
SDK-
It's all in the interpretation. Of course Ricky is not Vinnie and vice versa- but he plays on the same level as far as I'm concerned. And, yes, I do hear similarities in their playing, just especially with the polyrhythmic stuff. I also took lessons from Ricky at DC. And I've seen him play live. (And I'm arriving at a different conclusion than you...ain't it beautiful?)
P.S. Tell "Vince" I said hello
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks Blue Tav! I also greatly enjoy some Canadian drummers, like Paul DeLong, Rick Gratton (Lately, I've had fun studying his book!), Neil Peart (my first influence) and Vito Rezza. Michael Barsimanto is another player that I enjoy, he played some interesting and bizarre grooves in Eddie Jobson's "Zync". Frank Briggs, Joe Travers, Toss Panos and Mike Mangini played in a Mike Keneally album: Sluggo, I'm sure you know it. Those who enjoy polyrhythms, odd groupings, and things like that must check out that Zappa-influenced album!!! I haven't listened to Robbin DiMaggio and Lou Molino but I want to check out them in the future. And yes, Jojo should be up, with the greats!!!Quote:

To me the Ultimate Underrated drummer in the world is KIRK COVINGTON who plays with Tribal Tech (Gary Willis, Scott Henderson and Scott Kinsey).
What intensity, what groove, dynamics, and musicality ! I've seen Kirk several times and he always impresses me. He is the real thing. Maybe not the most refined technician, but a drummer who puts 100 % into every gig !
Ditto.
Man, you "got that right" about COVINGTON.
AND he can sing a MEAN, powerful, raspy blues too, while playing the sh**.
I only saw him once w the Tech, but it was a bee-yatchin' show, for sure. Those guys had some serious spontaneous improv telepathy goin' on.
I have some Tech live in Minneapolis [& some other small club somewhere] mp3 boots that are just sa-MOkin'.

Alan Gratzer. Another good rock drummer who got a big sound without sounding like he pounded the hell out of his drums.
