Earlier in the week I listened to a Modern Drummer Podcast on Cindy Blackman, virtuoso rock drummer with Lenny Kravitz. Cindy is also a highly regarded jazz drummer, with serious technical chops.
My band, Vagabond Dandies, covers a Lenny Kravitz song (are You Gonna Go My Way?) so I fully appreciate the groove and power in Cindy's drumming. Most importantly, after learning more about Cindy via the podcast, I fully appreciate her style, musicality, versatility and power on the set.
Cindy Blackman is The Coolest Drummer in modern rock and roll.
