you can check myspace.com/timevansdrums for a more comprehensive list if you want (and add me as a friend if you feel so inclined), but my short list is:

Philip "Fish" Fisher (Fishbone / Les Claypool / Justin Timberlake) www.dwdrums.com/artists/profile.htm (no idea why they label Fishbone as simply an "r&b band"... if you know Fishbone, you know how funny this is, and if you don't, you betta ask somebody! www.fishbone.net They're still badass with their current drummer John Steward also- the website has plenty of clips with each.)

Matt Cameron (Soundgarden / Pearl Jam / Wellwater Conspiracy)

Stewart Copeland (The Police [duh])

Will Calhoun (Living Colour)

Dave Abbruzzese (Pearl Jam)

Carlton Barrett (Bob Marley & the Wailers)

Mike Bordin (Faith No More)

Nate Brown (Everything)

Brian Jones (Agents Of Good Roots)

Tim Alexander & Brain (Primus)

Sting's drummers - Omar, Manu, Vinnie

Why has Mark Zonder inspired you Aydee?

Frank, you naughty boy! I'm sure I WOULD be inspired by him if I heard him play and knew who the heck he was.

( I like the way you skipped Zoro thinking I WOULD know him, you sly devil, ya! )
