Thats a great drummer for sure. Without the opening part of the tune it was hard to get a genre, but they were definitely moving to the "outside" sort of thing during the solos.
If you like this guy you might like Elvin Jones, especially some of his work with Coltrane One thing though, part of the reason the drums are so loud here is that whatever they are recording with is closer to the drums than the horns, but I bet he is pretty loud and intense either way.

Actually now that I think, I did see a drummer that fits perfectly what I
call "heavy drumming". It's Eric McPherson, who I saw last November
drumming for Lucian Ban's Elevation Quartet. They play hard-bop or
post-bop or something like that.
![]() Here's a video from that concert. First you'll hear how powerful he is when supporting his colleagues, then he remains solo and starts by doing an amazing polyrhythm or whatever it's called, anyway something that I couldn't even tap my hands to, not to speak of drumming to that ![]() |

The amazing part is that he really banged on those skins...
During sets, his wife (acting as a roadie) had to push back the drum set some two fzeet backwards, because her hubby drove the kit frontwards from hitting it so much >>> mind you in the 60's, those drum kits were much lighter than the monsters of the 70's.

Two names worth checkin

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

A musician not often mentioned for his drumming (other things for sure) is Lionel Hampton. He was a fantastic jazz drummer.

The technology and individuality might be various depending on the drum player. Elvin Jones and Jack DeJohnette that opinions gather are already wonderful musicians. The performance was always reformative of course. I recommend Bill Stewart as a drum player these days. He thinks that the rhythm of jazz was really evolved. Or, I think that Shelly Manne and Philliy Joe Jones are good if looking for from traditional jazz. And, if it is an expert of the wire brush, Ed Thigpen might be wonderful. |

^ Ronald Shannon Jackson comes to mind. His work with Last Exit is very heavy on the drums, but Last Exit is almost more like noise-rock than jazz, but they are all jazz players.

Is there any jazz with heavy drumming except that Fusion that lies more on the rock side?

He is also originally from Pontiac, MI, which is where I had dinner on Saturday night. I don't remember hearing his name before, which is strange since he is from the vicinity.

Interesting. In 1999, Jones worked with Our Lady Peace on their album Happiness...Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch. He was featured playing drums on the song "Stealing Babies", which was also featured on their 2009 compilation album The Very Best of Our Lady Peace.
I am listening to this track now.

^ yes he is, his work with Coltrane is sort of the bridge between those older drummers you like and someone like DeJohnette.

I definitely need to check out more Cobham. I only have By Design from his "solo" albums. |

If you want to hear DeJohnette at his best, check out live Miles albums like 'Live at Fillmore' or 'Live Evil'. No one else plays the drums like that.
Another good live drummer album is 'Shabazz' by Cobham
