Glen Sobel picks 10 essential drum albums

[Rodge]

Hu guys,

I went to see this by our man Glen, as he's more Rock oriented (I think) I can see why there is some drummers that I would never think about it while picking 10 essential albums.

Anyway, here his pick : http://www.musicradar.com/news/drums/gl ... s-561657/1

What would be your 10 essential drums albums ?

Here my pick :

- "Secrets" Allan Hodsworth with Vinnie Colaiuta
- "Black Codes (From The Underground)" Wynton Marsalis with Jeff "Tain" Watts
- "Regatta de Blanc" The Police with Stewart Copeland
- "Bring On The Night Live" Sting with Omar Hakim
- "Hydra" Toto with Jeff Porcaro
- "Give A Monkey A Brain And He'll Swear He's The Center Of The Universe" Fishbone with Phillip D. "Fish" Fisher
- "Nefertiti" Miles Davis with Tony Williams
- "Night Dreamer" Wayne Shorter with Elvin Jones
- "Off The Wall" Michael Jackson John "JR" Robinson
- "Blue Matter" John Scofield with Dennis Chambers

- "Heavy Weather" Weather Report with Alex Acuna

Of course I'm thinking to more influencial drummers like the GREAT Billy Cobham (covered by DC), Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Jo Jones, Philly Joe Jones, Terry Bozzio, and so on...
