Not sure Hal gets the Greatest Drummer title, considering the G.O.A.T. is Neil Peart ! However, Neil did learn how to play like Blaine growing up and incorporated all the greats knowledge in his playing.

Hal Blaine is definitely one of the greatest if not THE GREATEST drummers ever! Maybe, overall, or a session, drummer, or whatever! You couldn’t ask for any better. He was so unique.

Wow, that one priest played a pivotal role in Hal’s drumming career. Had Hal been told to scram (get out of here, this is for Catholics inly) or been given negativity (sorry kid, you’re not good enough) it could have totally derailed his drumming career before it even started.

Chris Hayden (ex-drummer for Florence + The Machine) is a CLEAR student/disciple of Hal Blaine's style and technique!! Listen to any of their big songs from his era in the band and the influence is obvious. No wonder I loved their sound. As a drummer myself, I never realized for the longest time how much of my musical life had been touched by Hal Blaine. SO many songs that touched me and which I played over and over to try to learn to play!! Epic talent and an icon.

I was a kid when Hal was most prolific. I thought everyone who played on records and TV was awesome. I had no concept of what a “Studio Drummer”. After I learned that most of the licks that was copying came from this one guy I was mesmerized. He was definitely one of a kind.

Blaine’s greatness doesn’t stem from his percussion abilities, Buddy Rich was better. Blaine changed how drums were recorded, often stopping recording sessions while he personally changed or added mics and other equipment so that the full range of the instrument could be appreciated. He became the drummer all the stars wanted.

I think you miss the point completely. One of Hal’s unique qualities - and Be My Baby was a great example - is that he could sense what was right for a record and come up with it. That often wasn’t anything technically complex but it was often innovative. You’re right that, once he had had the idea and delivered it, others could copy it, but given the blank canvas that he started with, how many of your hundred other session drummers could have come up with anything as good - regardless of their ethnicity?

@@johnenglish929 Sensing what was 'right' for a record was the job of the producer, not the drummer. The simple fact is Hal got all this work simply because of his 'ethnicity'. The music business is dominated by one particular group, far out of proportion to their percentage of the population. Look at Brian Epstein, Allen Klein, The Brill Building songwriters, David Geffen, Jac Holtzman, Phil Spector, Bernie Finkelstein, Paul Rosenberg etc. etc. etc. Check their careers. They all got their start and their breaks dealing with others of the same kind. Phil Spector is a perfect example. Look at Al Kooper. He was a nothing until he went to a Dylan session when it was love at first sight. And who was Dylan's guitarist at that same session? Mike Bloomfield. And look at Dylan himself. Joni Mitchell called him a phony and a plagiarizer but he got the hype he needed. Look at Springsteen. Is he really that good? I personally don't think so but the fact is, they take care of each other, look after each other. Anybody who denies this is just plain stupid.
