Members LCK Posted May 22, 2015 Members Share Posted May 22, 2015 While listening to Lenny's "Bring the Rain" I kept thinking about what a great drummer Mick Fleetwood is. These are some of my favorite drum tracks of his...

"I’m told that what I do as a percussion player is all sort of back-to-front, where the fills are usually not in the obvious places, and it’s because I don’t really know what I’m doing.

Members nat whilk II Posted May 23, 2015 Members Share Posted May 23, 2015 Favorite drummers, yes, a good topic. Phil Collins is an excellent drummer, whatever else you may think of him. To my ear he has this combination of great fluidity with extremely accurate punchy accents - I wish they'd mixed the drums louder on this one...

Members mbfrancis Posted May 23, 2015 Members Share Posted May 23, 2015 @LCK Mick Fleetwood is great, but why the first one...he barely plays, and then does the standard blues beat. Maybe I missed something, ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On "Black Magic Woman" it's not about how much he plays, it's about the punchiness and the pocket and his incredible accuracy. Anyway, that's how I see it...
