Best Rock Rhythm Sections?

Now you've gone and done it, Cynic. Jazz is "off topic" -- but since you went there, drums are a percussion instrument (up in the OP), so here ya go....

Well, it was Jazz-ROCK fusion and if you want to include keyboards as part of the rhythm section, then I submit Chick Corea-piano, Lenny White-drums, and Stanley Clarke-bass.

I'm partial to the drums and instrumental music, myself.

Here is the great Billy Cobham on drums and the bottomless bass of Rick Laird. (Jan Hammer on keys)

Back in the 70s, drummer Phil Collins had a Fusion project going called Brand X with Percy Jones on bass.

dont you mean Leon Wikinson Bass and Bob Burns/Artimus Pyle Drums?....

I meant exactly what I said. BTW, Ean Evans just recently passed away. You a LS fan?

yea but im a fan of Lynyrd Skynyrd.....not the LS cover bands that followed...im sorry AllB, but after 1977 any band that came about and called themselves LS are just living off the Skynyrd Reputation....i feel the same way about the Allman Bros.....just MY take......

Oh hell... Didja feel that way when Richard Starkey pulled the "experience card" on Pete Best? Look... It's kinda analogous to Sinatra changing his backup band from Count Basie's to Tommy Dorsey's. If you love the music, you can't keep holdin' onto what's gone -- except by way of what's memorialized on recordings.

the Beatles had not even begun to record yet at that time.....but i should clarify something here.... i only feel this way about the band IF someone dies....NOT if a member quits and the band gets someone else to replace him....i should have said this earlier....
