Moonie said it was Krupa and other jazz greats that inspired him to do the double bass kit with The Who. He was the first rock drummer to do so. Moon also went for a strech without the use of a high-hat.
I like Hal Blaine too.

Hal Blaine was THE session drummer in LA in the '60s. Everybody thought that Dennis Wilson was the Beach Boys' drummer. NOT! It was HB. On the road, Dennis, but he was too loose early on, and too drugged later, to have any effect on their music. Hal was their studio beat.

YIPES! ... I'm shattered. I really did think that Dennis was the drummer on the records.
Dang. The next thing you're going to tell me is that the Monkees didn't play the instruments on their early records or something crazy like that!
Which actually opens up a whole new thread of famous records and "phantom musicians". The who-played-what story would be pretty interesting to hear.

Brian Wilson didn't play much bass on their stuff either, I think they all played on the very early stuff like 409, Surfin' Safari etc. but they got real good real fast all of a sudden. Yeah he didn't play their real early stuff but man did he play on a lot of hits.

Ringo was the first one I ever really noticed as young kid. Of the 50s stuff I listen to now, I really like the drummer for Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps (Dickie Harrell). He has/had great feel and he plays inside the song instead of "lead" drums. I also really like the drummers from the Funk Brothers, the Motown studio band.

The "Blue Caps" were an outstanding band.

Jerry Allison of the Crickets was great too.
Those are real paradiddles on 'Peggy Sue'.

My first drumming "kick": B.J. Wilson on Procol Harum's A Salty Dog. Where he enters at 60 seconds sharp. Late 60's.

I saw Steve Gadd with James Taylor a few weeks ago, phenomenal. How about Tony Williams and Art Blakey?
