Thumbs up to song aware drummers, Charlie Watts, Steve Gadd, Nick Mason, Ringo, Stan Lynch’s understated work on those Petty classics, and the genius of Meg White.

"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham

Influences

Blues and rhythm and blues-infused music, Glitch/Drone/DarkCore and chill beats, Pier 57, Zero 7, Leaving Laurel, Max Melvin, Khruangbin psych-funk. Abigail Lapell. Gong (The You album) and the cinematic soundscapes of their friends, Pink Floyd. Neil Young and, rock jazz, think Hendrix. I find Tres Delinquentes, a Spanish/English rap track by Delinquent Habits especially sharp. The Doors & The Police. Cimerons (Live reggae), Tom Petty. Marcio Parker's Children's World. Candy Dulfer & Dave Stewart's Lily Was Here, and checkout Hadouk Trio's Shamanimal album (Hadouk Blues), with Didier Malherbe on sax. ...and, what about those Delphonics?
