RE: i was just thinking
Even in fusion drums, you can get a lot of guys more soulful than Weckl. Peter Erskine and Billy Cobham come to mind. I second DeJohnette. And Jones. And Mason. And Williams. Others to consider: Ed Blackwell, Art Blakey, Max Roach & Philly Joe Jones. Check the Art Ensemble of Chicago for a tribal spin on jazz drumming and percussion. And although I'm not real fond of the type of jazz he appears on, Steve Gadd is a very in-the-pocket guy. Not exhaustive, but what I could scrape outta me brainpan.
