The grooviest drummers

[Belzecat]

Hi!

Who are, in your opinion, the grooviest and funkiest drummers. I'm looking specifically for a really simple but extremely groovy and funky players. The ones that make the most basic groove sound irresistable :-)

I'm starting to play some drums (I'm a bassist primarily) and I'm looking for examples.

Videos welcome.
Fire away!

Since I just recently became a drummer I listen to music in a whole new way, focusing on the drums which I never did before. Put on one of my favorite albums if all time "Music Of My Mind" by Stevie Wonder looking for new ideas, groove etc...ok I always new that the credits on that album list him as playing pretty much everything on that album, omg, if he did nothing else he could've been known as an awesome drummer. Listen the the foot work on the first track, "Love Having You Around". Unbelievable!

Keith Carlock is one of the greatest groove drummers of our generation. His feel is like none other. And he's got chops too!
