Not a great week for drummers, Sly Dunbar of Sly and Robbie and more sessions than you can shake a stick at passed today at 76

He played with everyone so for no particular reason here's his work with Grace Jones

Surprised I didn't see mention of Brad aronald dieing. Super hip dude turned Maga. An a absolute mention for late 99s early 2000s rock mention. Too bad he at the end was so bad personaly to try to be a figurehead for Maga.
