Best Hi-Hat/Snare/Bass player?

[Cell557107]

Who, in your opnion plays the most intrestingly and expressively on just the
hi-hat, snare drum and bass drum? I find it really challenging to just stick
to these and play many variations without going to other parts of the kit, IE.
ride or toms. I couldnt think of too many drummers that are really good at
this. Most jazz drummers seem to rely a lot on the ride. So far I just came
up with Stuart Copeland. Any others?

theres a norwegian player called anders engen who uses that setup only, but
sometimes with a cymbal as well. his approach to playing the snare, bass and
hi-hat is quite unique, and he uses cross-sticking, brushes and his hands a
lot.

i can upload some of my favourite things that he is on, if you guys want...

He doesn't necessarily stay on them all the time, but when he does, Carter
Beauford does some great stuff there! You can tell his grooves right away
from what's going on on the HH, sweet stuff....

Since you included the BD in there, I'd have to say Bonham rock-wise......but,
the single greatest hi-hat player I ever saw was Buddy. That guy could do more
on a hi-hat then you could believe, unless you saw it yourself. Started every
tune in the show I saw him do with a hi-hat solo to set up the tempo. Freaking
incredible playing.

Kick/hat/snare playing is usually referring to drummers who specialize in
playing primarily those three instruments as the basis of their "kit" . Most
of these drummers usually play in the r&b genre. James Brown's drummers are
the archtypical k/s/h players. Bonham and Rich were not k/s/h players per
se.

I think Mike Clark sprang forth from the head of Zeus in the pantheon of

If its good, better, best, I don't know, but I really like how Rick
Marrota describes his experience with Fagan and Becker during his
"Peg" session for SD's Aja album, from the "Making of" DVD series.

Speaking of the groove he supplied for that number, he explains that
he'd often done similar sort of subtle grooves involving perhaps the
slight opening of the hats at certain points in those grooves, and how
that on the final version of that tune he was really surprised that he
could actually for once HEAR it.

A final question on that DVD, while it's a lot of fun to watch,
conspicuous in his absence is Mr. Gadd. Is that just weak producing,
or doesn't he do stuff like that?
