Out of all styles of drummers, who has the best groove and feel?

Question

Just to throw some names out... Steve Gadd, Harvey Mason (Head Hunters!), Dave Weckl, Dennis Chambers, etc.

I'm talking groove like in Stanley Clarke's "silly putty" with Steve Gadd to Harvey Mason on w/ Herbie Hancock on Chameleon to Dave Weckl on Hesitation or The Chicken on his live album.

Answer 1

Keith Moon, the best ever.

Answer 2

Billy Cobham his cd "Spectrum" on Atlantic(also songs: "Moon Germs, "Crosswinds,' "Pleasant Pheasant").. Dave Garibaldi of Tower of Power(CD:Drop It In The Slot"), Zig Modeliste of the original Meters(Songs: "Africa," "Look A Py Py," "Sissy Strut," "Hey Pocky Way," ""People Say") The Meters have a live cd "Live On The ?????" Some riverboat. Have you heard cd:"Mwandishi" by Herbie H? How about "Straight Life" by Freddie Hubbard? Check out Weather Report cd's such as "Sweetnighter." On that cd, Herschel Dwellingham KILLS on "125th Street Congress." Al Jackson grooved on all the Booker T and The MG's stuff(Hip Hug Her, Jellybread,) and also on the Otis Redding Stuff like"Hard To Handle(original version)," "Tramp(w/ Carla Thomas)" and "Nobody's Fault But Mine." Check out Earl Palmer and those other guys on all the Little Richard classic cuts("Good Golly Miss Molly," "Hey Hey Hey Hey," "Ready Teddy" etc) . The Ray Charles 50's stuff all have great drummers. See if you can un-earth early 60's stuff by the Wailers from Seattle w/ Mike Burk on drums("Mashi," "Ya Ya" "Back To You" etc) AND YOU HAVE TO check all the James Brown 70's stuff("Funky President," "There It Is," "I Got That Feelin'" "Make It Funky" "Sex Machine" etc etc
