Wrecking Crew Drummer & Hall of Famer. 35,000 recordings ain't bad. Surely that includes samples.

I have to admit - I didn't realize he was still alive. But man, what a run. He's played on so many sessions he's probably the most influential drummer in history, even if he's not a househould name outside of music nerd circles.

Boom!

Boo-boom TISH!

Boom!

Boo-boom TISH!

The night we met I knew I needed you so
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go
So won't you say you love me
I'll make you so proud of me
We'll make 'em turn their heads every place we go

So won't you, please, be my, be my baby...
