Yeah, I'm that guy -- a guitarist who loves to get behind a drum set and pound away. For decades I have taken every opportunity to jump behind the kit before sound check or in the studio and pretend that I'm good at it...and I would like to thank the many drummers who have tolerated my unintelligible bludgeoning of their very expensive kits over the years. (in my own defense, they always knew they could pick up any of my axes and shred anytime they wanted)

I've come to accept the fact that all dreams don't come true, but if they did, I would want to play drums just like Buddy Rich. There's a lot of Buddy's work out there on the tubes, but this particular solo from 1970 will always be my favorite.

There are so many great drummers and percussionists to choose from. Feel free to share your favorites in the comments.
