I just found out Toss Panos (whom I miss on Drummerworld too) is in the so-called wishlist. Ricky Wellman isn't, though.
What's the wishlist all about? Does it say that a certain amount of folks want a certain drummer to be included in the drummerworld encyclopedia? Just curious...
I emailed directly about this very issue a number of years back and got no response.
Wellman is one of the greatest groove players in history, you only have to listen to his work with Miles to appreciate this.
He was with Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers before joining Miles, he's essentially the godfather of the original Go Go groove, and the guy Miles replaced Al Foster with.
ricky has polio in his right leg when he soloed he soloed with his right only using one floor bass drum when he soloed its sounded like horses running a sound of the pledge of drummers as in stanley clarke the pledge of basses, he should be honored along with lenny white billy colham i know because watched him at show with chuck b. and was the bassist for symblic fuck that curtis johnson who played with many yrs with ricky started.
