Another rock legend gone

[RobertN]

Those lists leave a bit to be desired. Max Roach should be much higher on all the lists. Steve Smith should be at or near the top of all of them. Krupa should be higher; although many drummers surpasses him, he was kind of the father of modern up front lead the band kind of drumming, and helped develop the modern 5 and 7 piece drum sets.

Neal was awesome; seeing his tribute videos to Buddy Rich is great to watch.

Go figure?
