You only get THREE. lol
When I say "genius" I don't mean great, I mean someone who redefined the instrument and rhythm itself.
Honestly, I'd say there's only been two -- Gene Krupa and Tony Williams. They did what nobody else did before them on the drums. There have been others who were great, original and had monstrous chops. There are guys today who play stuff neither Gene or Tony could ever do. But those guys rewrote the book in a way no one has since IMO.
So...who's your pick? Top 2 or 3 guys.
