Why my ears haven't gotten keener on which drummer is on various tracks, I don't know! I've been playing Martha Reeves & The Vandellas' "Ridin' High" album and 2 tracks have been on endless repeat mode; "Alway Something There To Remind Me" and "Show Me The Way". Can someone tell me who the drummers are on those two tracks? [[Bonus points for "Leave It In The Hands Of Love")

Well, to my ears, 'ASTTRM' is and 'Show Me The Way' is Uriel, whilst 'LIITHOL' is Pistol.

[[I have a playlist on Windows Media player for tracks that feature the drums of Benny, Pistol, Uriel, and the short studio period of Freddie Waites, who I wish had did more studio work).

Cheers

Paul

I can always count on you Paul! I thought something had been mentioned before about Uriel's trademark was that he really hit those drum hears HARD and that's the thought I had listening to ASTTRM. While I've always felt the track was a bit overblown, the drumming is so HOT it saves the production.)

Thanks Paul! [[That playlist sounds like an excellent listening experience!)
