    Buddy Rich was good for his time and influential and all that, but the instrument has evolved so far since then.

    Check out Matt Gartska and a band called Animals as Leaders for a great modern jazz drummer.

      The first song that came up for me on YT by him was Physical Education. There’s a lot of rock in there. He reminds me somewhat of a Dave Weckl or Carter Beauford even. Some of the instrument’s evolution I’m not interested in.

      Google classifies Animals as Leaders as a progressive metal band…

        Gartska’s main band is a progressive metal band but the drummer is a jazz drummer through and through. Just look up some of his workshops and playthroughs if you just want to see simply good drumming. Most progressive metal is basically heavy jazz.

        I understand its different strokes for different folks and all, and appreciate you giving them a chance and responding.
