on the Todd Rundgren & Lhe Liars DVD. Amazing drummer, killer band and Todd appears to have aged. An intense performance and I admire PP as a drummer very much. Great chops, good songs.
A fun DVD-V. Netflix has it.
Follow Ups:
Kate Russo's Looking For Ringo. Kate and Blake told me he was a great guy to work with. A very talented musician.
... person to be looking for?
Perhaps he's gone to buy chops, which so many here think he doesn't have.
Some people want to believe he's a hack, but he really wasn't..... Sure he ain't Moon, Peart, or Palmer, but he's never exposed himself as being incapable. Especially when it comes to timekeeping, which I think is the most-common shortcoming I encounter with drummers. Starr was as good as anyone, in that regard.
The best rock drummer I ever heard (and knew) is John Badanjek. Mitch Ryder, Edgar Winter, Alice Cooper, The Rockets. Solid as hell. Knew when to play and not to
is the first sign of good taste in a drummer.Gadd once said that he often tries to work out drum parts with the fewest notes possible.
absolute master of time. I also like Kenny Aronoff a bunch and whatever happened to my of far Ansley Dunbar?
Keltner is or at least was another great one, i agree
Keltner has that amazing ability--kind of like Ringo, in a way--of being able to keep perfect time yet play just that tiniest bit behind the beat.My favorite Keltner moment is in the song "Slow Turning." Right after John Hiatt sings "and I'm yelling at the kids in the back, 'cause they're banging like Charlie Watts," Keltner plays a two note fill, bass drum and snare drum, just like CW and even more like Jim Keltner. Brilliant.
About Aynsley Dunbar, see below. This site is drummer nirvana--look up your favorite drummer from the list at the left.
backing T-Bone Burnette and one shit hot band in Golden Gate Park the 2nd week of October. I have seen him in various studio situations years ago, he only has gotten better. Yes that Hiatt moment has always floored me.
Thanks for the link
Check out Buddy Guy's "Blues Singer", a fantastic acoustic (even B.B. King sans Lucille!) working of blues classics and standards. Keltner only uses brushes and percussive tecniques and is SO effective/superlative.Have seen him live with Little Village (remember them?) and Neil Young with Booker T. and the MGs. Keltner is the only drummer to play with NY that can NAIL the Crazy Horse rockers AND the acoustic ballads with equal effortlessness and effect, IMO. The man is a treasure!

loved the album they put out - sorry I never saw them live. Keltner is indeed a treasure.
solid as a rock.....
