Best Drummer Nick Name

Still busy, finishing my drum method book. So, here's another from Owen. Best drummers nick name. Names like Rikki Rocket don't count. That's not a nick name, it's just a bad idea. I'm going to start things off with the drummer from our last post, Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. The man who played on hundreds of classic tunes and brought us the "Purdie Shuffle". He may not look pretty (and really, I think Bernard would like a different adjective to describe his looks) but he sure plays pretty. What do you guys think?

Killer Drum-Bass Combo

Been busy out in the wood shed, so Owen has come up with some great topics. First on his list is great drummer/bass player combos in different genre's. I'll start it off in the R & B category with Bernard Purdie and Chuck Rainey. Here they are with Aretha (and Cornell Dupree) on the T.V. show Room 222. This may be The Queen's (and I sure as shit don't mean Latifah) T.V. debut, haven't been able to confirm this.      Let us know who you come up with.

Best Beatle Drum Beat

Yes, we all know and love the classic drum beats on some of the Led Zeppelin tunes, the killer stuff on Deep Purple records, Queen's We Will Rock You and so on. We're leaving out (for now) anything by someone who can be referred to as a 'cat': Gadd, Colaiuta, Elvin, Garibaldi, Modeliste etc. At present we don't care about chops, speed, flash, complex grooves or Neil Peart - I never care about Neil Peart, although feel free to yourself.
Let's talk about some Beatles drum beats.
This discussion is about Ringo (or anyone else who played drums on a Beatles tune) and which beats we think are the coolest.
The first one that comes to my mind is Ticket to Ride. I love that s**t. Whether it came from Paul or whatever the 'people in the know' say, it is a slammin' piece of work.
What do you think??
