Since this thread has gone sideways anyway let me add that Krupa, Rich, Blaine, Palmer Purdie, Muhammad, Ringo, Wilson,Moon,Wood, Peart and Copeland (among others) are all magnificent drummers. Also Camco, Ludwig, Rogers, Slingerland and Gretsch (among others) have produced mind boggling drums. I like to have time to forget gear and songs and then fall back in love with them when the timing is right. At that precise moment the snare or the drummer is the "best".
Amen brother....
