I paid for college by working clubs as a jazz drummer. Biggest influences: Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, Art Blakey, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, etc. I quit about 10 years ago and haven't played a gig since. I'm so rusty now that I doubt I could.

Shame, I've been searching high and low for a jazz drummer. Got too tired of all these young metal/rock drummers that play too damn loud.

My last drummer had his whole set mic'd so he could be louder.

Jazz drummers have the best dynamics.
