In Philly the BEST drummers were Earl Young, Charles Collins, Jerry Jones Quinton Joseph and Keith Benson.
There is a new up and coming drummer right here on this forum named Daren Metz who is WICKED.

Bobby; is Jerry Jones the same one that worked around Detroit a lot in the early/mid 70's? If so he could truly kick - jazz finesse but harder. Also ,can you give me the lineup on two of the underrated guitar pieces of all time; Jerry Butler's Brand New Me and William DeVaughn's "Be thankful For What you Got? Thanks

Hey!

I grew up in Detroit too!! (I forgot to mention that) So Funky Motown-Philly drummers should have been the name of this thread!!!

I cant wait for all of the great musicians to get together and do a "Standing in the Shadows of TSOP"reunion concert! (Although technically I didnt have anything to do with it!)

Thanks Bobby Eli for everything!! You are DA MAN!!

Right now, Peter is on my S..t list. He has promised to come on the forum but I have yet to see him.

Also let me add a drummer to the list.....Randy Clements. Worked with him in the mid 70's. He used to be with the Human Beings at one time. One of the best " pocket " drummers I ever worked with.
