Favourite 60s British Drummer

My favorite British drummer from this time period was not mentioned:


Bev Bevan - The Move


Please listen to "Shazam" and let me know whether or not he should be mentioned!!




Thanks,

BTW, as far as the Yardbirds' masters...EMI has these under lock and key and will not release them to anybody because the Yardbirds never paid their studio bills when they were recording them. And until that happens EMI will not let them see the light of day.

Almost voted for Ringo but Keith Moon is the greatest rock(period?)drummer ever. Interesting to see how Zak Starkey plays with Keith's flair but with Ringo's precision. Going to see the Who this friday in Boston! Wooo Hooo!
