I agree man. I have always loved great drum breaks, and it is wild how about nobody can play them right nowadays. They all say they can, but when it gets down to it, they just can not make it feel right.

The drummer from the Meters really takes it up a few levels in sissy strut. That is is one groove I never get sick of playing (if the drummer can hang).
