Some of my favorites are New Orleans drummers. I particularly like Eddie Christmas and Raymond Weber. Thanks for bringing James Black to light.

Oh look-out... you hit my sweet-spot by bringing up Nee-awlins drummers! I just want to add Johnny Vidocovich to the names mentioned. You can cop more second-line magic from listening to Johnny play for 10 minutes, than you could from 6 mos. of listening to somebody else. Great drummers all. My 'next-generation' favorite is Stanton Moore... carrying on the tradition.
Can't tell you how much I enjoy playing second-line beats and rhythms. It's just great sounding, fun stuff to play.
Call me; Johnny Chapatoula :p

Great stuff. Never heard of him, but I'm glad I've heard of him now. He's definitely got it.
