Please, ignore all rock suggestions. If you want authenticity, then you really need to check in with jazz cats. It's not that rock drummers are bad; it's just that they are usually woefully deficient in skill, execution, emotion, and musicianship compared to jazz drummers. Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Paul Motian, Carl Allen, Art Blakey, Philly "Joe" Jones, Billy Higgins, Jimmy Cobb, Art Taylor, Kenny Washington, Jeff Watts, Eddie Marshall, Mel Lewis, Peter Erskin, Sylvia Cuenca, Joe Chambers, Rashid Ali, Eddie Thigpen, Lewis Nash, Marvin "Smitty" Smith, Ben Riley, Yuron Isreal, Dannie Richmond, Ed Blackwell, Al Foster, Jack DeJohnette, Roy McCurdy, Connie Kay, Max Roach, Roy Haynes, Barry Altschul, Alvin Queen, Marty Moriell, and Chico Hamilton will provide the most creative and *musical* drum solos you will ever likely hear. Seriously, if you want more than just chops, listen to these guys. My three cents.
