Adam Deitch
The busy performer and producer goes deep about I Get a Rush, his album of hip-hop instrumentals.
Jimmy Cobb
He's often name-checked for his appearance on the most popular jazz album of all time, Mikes Davis's Kind of Blue. But that's just the tip of the iceberg for the drummer, who's still quite active at eighty-eight.
A Lot Like Birds’ Joseph Arrington
That place where wild improvisation meets super-refined composition? This drummer's smack-dab in the middle, and killin' it there.
The National’s Bryan Devendorf
Bryan Devendorf’s drumming is deceptively simple. A brilliant accompanist to the National’s diverse, moody, and propulsive oeuvre, Devendorf provides vital rhythmic hooks to some of the group’s best-known songs.
JP Bouvet
The New York-based drummer is a chameleon, but even that seems like a limiting term when you consider the range of drumming styles he executes exceptionally well.
