Is rex hardy the guy tht was on the mary j live from LA? If so, that guy is wack and he's not underrated at all. Theres nothing special to him. (i'm not really sure, Im just tryin to get some good clips of him.... wink wink) I could have done that concert and got more oohhs an ahhhs.

TIGHTEST GROOVE

Brian, Gorden and Teddy are not under-rated they are mature. They hold/have held dow gigs with major artists and musicians. THe fact is that too many folk here are caught up in the whooo weee factor. Being a working musician is not about that. All the guys you named are working. None of the guys you named have ventured into promoting themselves as an individual drumset artist or clinician.

These guys aren't under-rated really... they have respect in the circiut of hiring and firing, LOL. That's where we all need to be. Folks in general need to re-assess what being a good/great drumset musician is. It's not the flash in the "working/pro circuit" it is in call backs for recording and touring opportunities, it is the major tv performances, it is the imprompt to band calls.

If we talk under-rated lets talk about Nate Morton, house band drummer on CBS' - Rock Start INXS. He is a Berkley grad attending the same time as Abe Laborial Jr. or Forrest Robinson who plays with India.Arie . and any number of other guys whom just haven't gotten that spotlight gig yet but have been consistently holding down big gigs.

Thats right, thats right! I couldnt give opinion on whether theyre underrated or not becuase of what Sabe is just hammered out.
... although it wasn't hard to rate the artists they were associated with...

I know one thing I need to read the entire board before I post my posts... Another underated drummer is Darryl Robinson (Lil Darryl). The few names that I am going to include is Terry Baker, Jeff Lo Davis, Chris Johnson, Joel Smith, and Asaph Ward Jr. I have a few more that I will mention later. Stay Blessed, Nate J.

I agree with SABE. THem cats are being "richly" blessed. It is all about reading music and working. These cats on this list are touring and studio pros. To me Teddy shouldn't even be on there. If you watch American Idol. That guy can play any kind of music and still throw a crazy lick in there every now and again.

I can respect anyone whose gettin' big gigs. However, this IS the entertainment industry. I don't think their is anything wrong with the oooh's and aaaaah's, as long as they you know the time & place. Ricky Lawson did play for Michael ... but, he put me to sleep. I didn't dig his playing at all. I guess he doesn't care - but I do. I really don't like it when people make it seem like the only thing that matters is working. Who really wants to be a musician simply works?

Maybe some people can be content with that. However, I'm a showman at heart. While I know I'm not front & center .. I know I can bring something exciting to the music, without trying to take over the show.
