Doug: Pretty simple question today, kids: name your favorite drummer, or perhaps your favorite song featuring some awesome backbeating. Do you go for that confident, enhancing sound -- professional, creating a foot-tapping in all of us, akin to Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts? Or do you prefer a bit more of a virtuoso (drawing attention to the percussion in its own right), such as Neil Peart of Rush? Hey, maybe "your guy" (or gal) isn't in the public eye so much -- maybe you're partial to a song or songs that feature a studio musician. At any rate, today let's talk about our favorite beats.
