Odd....no one mentioned Stub Toe Jenkins or Molasses Sal in this thread. Didn't see that one coming. Now, here was two of the greats. There just wasn't a better beater than Stub Toe this side of the pond (or any other for that matter). When he decided to part company with The Mudbone Snuff Boys of Beat and hook up with Molasses Sal...well, I don't have to tell you where THAT went. Unreal. That was the most magical union of talent in that century or any other. What Stub could do with a hickory stick and a velum spack was nothing short of a miracle. I've seen many drummers attempt his licks, only to end up discouraged and sore. Buddy Rich used to say, "If Stub didn't play it, it just wasn't worth spit." Today's young turks could learn a thing or two by just trying to decipher what Stub Toe is doing in the 15th and 17th phrase of "Slap dat Momma Yo". I've listened to it for most of my life and still can't work it out. Unbelievable stuff.Spin the black circle gents and gentettes. There's a music lesson to be had.
