The list is all the recordings that the guy at the bottom (Steve Ferrone - born and bred in Brighton) has played on.(A discography)

Over the years, he has been the regular drummer for the Average White Band, Chaka Khan, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, amongst loads of other work.

Still, not as good as the rizzlekicks.

I know that I am wrong as they are but I never consider drummers as musicians when somebody mentions musicians I always think of string or blowing instruments and piano/keyboard

Have you ever given it a go BG? Always amuses me when people are given the sticks and struggle to use both hands at the same time.
