Nice call on Heidorn, Notec. I remember when he used to damp the cymbal with his foot, playing for Uncle Tupelo. And a regular and very friendly guy. John
Best Rock Drummers
I've seen most of them and by far the two that stand out are Neil Peart of Rush and Ceasar Z. of Golden Earring. For non-rock I would say it's a no brainer with Buddy Rich.
