Reingold- Csorsz (TFK)

Karn-Jansen (Japan and Various)

Djivas-DiCioccio (PFM)

Zuffanti-DiTollo (La Maschera di Cera)

Levin-Marotta (many)

Percy Jones-Phill Collins (Brand X)

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Nik Di'Virgilio and Dave Meros from Spock's Beard are a rather unappreciated pair until you really sit down and listen to some of the sections of their music.

Bruford and Squire are another killer duo, a couple of the best in prog history, but of course!

The Tool boys are damn good as well (Danny Carey/Justin Chancellor)

There's many others that have caught my ear recently as well. Gong, Soft Machine (anything Canterbury it seems) and a lot of heavy prog uses the rhythm well also like Tiles. OH! A band who I'm not sure anyone else will mention who is also really good at this kind of thing is Anti-Depressive Delivery.

And of course Rush is easily my favorite bass/drum duo. You can't beat Geddy and Neil. (Trying to keep my Rush-talk to a minimum) Wink

1. Collins, Rutherford
2. Bruford, Squire
3. Lake, Palmer

For non-rio-ness. Not usually too fussed about the bass and drum coordination, since I'm a little more geared to detached bass and percussion parts. Genesis seem to be the one band where the rhythm section's cohesiveness really makes an impression for me, along with Close To The Edge Yes.

The bond between the bass player and drummer is one of the most unbreakable and important in a band. The bass player must match with the drummer's bass drum and the drummer must pay attention to the bass player's subtleties of tone, rythym, and intensity.

Some duos are guitar players/drummers, but being a bass player myself, I enjoy the relationship between drummer/bass. When these two players know each others' playing style, the sky is the limit for percussive possibilites..

WHO are your top three Bassist/Drummer combo?

MINE ARE: 1. Danny Carey/Justin Chancellor
2. Keith Moon/Ox
3. Bill Bruford/Chris Squire
