It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: The World's Greatest Drummer ...

Peak value or career value?

Peak value: Frank Butler before drugs and prison
(the Curtis Counce LPs and others)

Career Value: Elvin Jones--still going strong.

But I understand your love of Shelley Manne--he's in my top 10 for sure along with Blakey, Roach, Stan Levey, Philly Joe Jones, Gene Krupa (gotta have swing guy and I HATED Buddy Rich as a person, so I leave him out!), Chico Hamilton, and Billy Higgins.

The odd man out of the top 10? Jo Jones.
