Which of these is the best drum solo and/or drummer

[WTH_Progs?]

Gene Krupa

He used another drummer on occasions. My father had a swing band and used a drummer who played for Krupa. Unfortunately I don't know his name. Probably a recording guy, something like.

You're not the only who says Krupa BTW. My dad said Rich was flash & Krupa a fundamentalist. I knew Chuck Ruff (e.g., Edgar Winters) and his favorites were Bonham & Krupa.

My mom's favorite entertainer, she's not wrong. Sammy one of a kind. Give him an instrument he doesn't know if you find one, he'll have it figured out in five

I'll never forget him half out a car window waiving at people, small town normal day.

Vinny Colaiuta was Zappa's favorite drummer. His work with Arthur Barrow on bass on "Shut Up N Play Yer Guitar" is just stellar.

Terry Bozzio and Chad Wackerman are both better than 90% of all drummers out there.

Another guy not mentioned is noted gardener Jeff Porcaro, RIP.

Interesting choice --- I always played that track to highlight Jack Bruce's bass.

But that was the thing about Cream; there were no weak points. Disraeli Gears was the first LP I ever bought and I literally wore it out.

Tales of Brave Ulysses is a trippy song. Wah-wah extravaganza!

Yeah, just pumping the pedal on every beat though. What stands out to me in that one is (a) Ginger Baker's signature triplets and (b) Jack Bruce's improv at the end. I love me some Ginger Baker triplets.

It gets good reviews on Sweetwater. Boss makes good sturdy gear. As does parent Roland.
