List of Famous Drummers

[stickadiddle]

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask this question but I'm looking for the name of a drummer who, having played on numerous hit records must surely be eligible to be added to the list,

Right here goes;

I was staying in a hotel in Peurto Polensa, Majorca, in June 1997 and got into conversation with a man who told me he was a drummer and was having a week's break from America. He told me his name which I can't remember.
So here is your task,should you choose to accept, I need somebody to remind me of his name from the following information;
He was born in London and was taught by Jim Marshall, moved to America and had played drums with the Everly Brothers for 40 years.

I like a few of the ladies....

Vera Figuerado from Brazil
Meytal Cohen from Israel, although she may not be considered "famous" I just enjoy watching her play....
Sheila E from right here in the States.....

Stickadiddle, Couldn't be Jim Gordon-Internet puts him in prison in '83 for murder.
But both those guys had huge careers! Who knew?

Thanks Slinglander, no it wasn't Jim Gordon because I would know the name if I heard it. Incidently I was also in prison in 1983 but only because I worked there and not because I murdered anybody although I've been tempted a few times!

Surprised to see Kenny Aronoff isn't listed nor does he have a thread on here. Perhaps I will make one this weekend if time permits.

Mark Brzezicki. He plays drums for Big Country (among others) and has some damn fine skills.

I'll be seeing him in a couple of weeks when I go to the Big Country gig near me. Great drummer. I know the guitars are the "thing" with BC, but without those thunderous drums it wouldn't quite be the same.

Damn, I like Big Country for sure. Mike Peters from The Alarm had to step into some big shoes after the late Stuart Adamson (and Tony Butler filling in for a short while), but he does a fine job.

One of my fave albums that Mark B got pulled in as a session drummer is this one. Although he wasn't on the big hit "She Sells Sanctuary"...that was Nigel Preston:

Corky Laing (Mountain), Buddy Miles (Hendrix), Doug Clifford (Creedence), Simon Kirke (Free, Bad Company)

I think a mod reviews all the new threads for "Famous Drummers" before posting. Usually takes 24 hours or so, but with the holiday's may be a little longer?
