Guys, could you please help out with ranking the Greatest Super Bowl Halftime Show Drummers of All Time?

It’s a tough project when we’ve had The Who, The Rolling Stones, Prince, Tom Petty and Up With People.

My questions at this stage:

In 1970, who played drums with Doc Severinson, Al Hirt, Carol Channing and Lionel Hampton? Shaunessy?

In 2007, what New Power Generation Drummer backed Prince.

In 1993, who was Michael Jackson’s drummer.

In 1997, did Steve Jordan play for the Blues Brothers and James Brown?

Gladly accepting your nominations!

I haven't watched a SB halftime since the last year they had marching bands, which I think was 86 or 87. I usually turn to something else or mute the tv and go do things
 
I re-tuned my Snare Drum during the HT show. I'm not a big fan of Super -Theatrics Productions at these type shows. But I'm an Old Fashioned, Old Timer - a product of the 60s Generation. The SB game was a one of the Best though. Being a GIANTS' fan, nothing can surpass the 2 VICTORIES over the Pats (and Tom Brady) in my personal Book!!

yeah...I am a football fan in all aspects, raised in the 70's. That is why I am a Steelers fan. The Iron Curtain, and Lynn Swann's acrobatic end zone catches got me into the yellow and black, so I always watch the game, and if the Steelers aren't in it, I root for the AFC team...unless it is Baltimore. I can't stand them.

But the game was representaative of the last 5 weeks of the season, and the playoffs...lots and lots of really close games and come from behind wins....one of the best "end of the season" runs in years
 
Xstr8, in case you are looking for a great Read about Football... get "The Greatest Game Ever Played". Lots of great trivia & info about the Colts Vs. Giants in 1959 Championship game at Yankee Stadium and that Era. Pro Football was still in it's Tootler years, getting ready to explode onto the scene. The Following Summer,[1960?] on a CBS sports special, the producer attached a microphone to Sam Huff while they worked out & training for the next upcoming season. According to Media Lore...when the viweing public saw and "heard" the Hitting. it was an instant success and became a catalyst to propel Pro Football ahead.

I am on it!!!!
 
I think Adrian Young was fantastic in 2003. At about 6:39 they show a good shot of his lit up jellybean drums. Plus he is shirtless, wearing a kilt, and has black lipstick and eye makeup!
