Drummer with: Eva Cassidy (well he's played with a shed load of bands...)

I first heard him playing drums on the Live at Blues Alley album by Eva Cassidy. It's a very jazz/blues/soul album with a suitable blend and mix to boot. Real quick 12/8's with simple 4/4's and I swear this guy knows how to play. It's fast and accurate and his fills are absolutely blazing. I'm guessing he wrote the definition for syncopation. I say this in a good way - his drumming is quite predictable - it is enjoyable because he makes happen what you want to happen - when you're tapping along he goes where you're going and it's great.
