Check out Al Di Meola and Paco De Lucia, 2 of the greatest guitarists in the world!. Especially their song Mediterranean Sundance!. No drums involved, but it will expand your musical base and the way that Paco De Lucia strums - he incorporates percussive rhythm into his playing!. It's great! Steve Vai does some cool stuff with Al Di Meola also!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Any drummer that played for Frank Zappa is worth looking into!.

I like the polyrhythms of African drumming and the soul grabbing beat of Brazilian Samba!.

Tito Puentes

Mickey Hart
