What are the top 20 best albums for drumming that I've never heard?

First, you need to cover all the jazz and big-band greats--Gene Krupa (with Benny Goodman), Max Roach, Cozy Cole (Topsy, parts I and II from 1956 are killer), and a host of others--contact the guy at a local station that plays jazz (sorry, usually late night)--sometimes even an NPR station. You can stream Jae Sinnett at WHRV-FM after 9 p.m. on weekdays and on Sun. afternoon; he has his own trio and really knows his stuff. It's out of Norfolk, VA--my home. He might steer you to the big band show with Neil Murray, too.
