*bumped into revival* Ehm.... Now that i see my list, i see that i'm unfair to so many other drummers. So i categorized them into different genres. Doesnt mean that one genre is better than another.. Here's the list: *ahem* Death Metal: Flo Mounier - Cryptopsy Derek Roddy - Hate Eternal George Kollias - Nile Pete Sandoval - Morbid Angel Gene Hoglan - ex-Death, Strapping Young Lad Math/Tech/Jazz Metal: Tomas Haake - Meshuggah Sean Reinert - Cynic Asgeir Mickelson - Spiral Architect Marcel Dissantos - Atheist Chris Pennie - Dillinger Escape Plan Prog rock/Metal: Mike Portnoy - Dream Theater Martin Lopez - Opeth ( Didnt want to put him in the Death metal list because his style resembles prog more than death IMO) Danny Carey - Tool Chris Maitland - Porcupine Tree Dino Campanella -Dredg Jazz: Morgan Ågren - Ex Frank Zappa, Mats And Morgan Terry Bozzio I dont know the names of many others.....But do listen to a lot of them. Other: (hindustani, black metal, multi percussionists) Aloke Dutta Pete Lockett Zakir Hussain Hellhammer Jon Bonham (i'm not really a led zep fan, but do like his drumming) etc.....

Wah Taj is a cheesy cathphrase used by him ..he's the brand ambassador of Taj Mahal Tea.. you should be in India more : :
Oh.....yeah. I remember. I could get a lot of his and Aloke Dutta's CD's aswell....if i were in india.
But i'll probably never go there. (thats as funny as it sounds aswell). But before i go to india, i got know some good music stores where i can get these things: Any in hyderabad? (or in Chennai or in Banglore???)
Where are you staying if not in India? The States?(Actually, that would explain a lot of the underground music you have) . Landmark in Bangalore is an excellent music store.
