Ok ok, but who would sound the best as a duo playing together on stage. Rarely see a keyboard/drum jam :)

In no particular order, but I believe the pair that does a more solid combined work are Walsh - Ehart from Kansas, this doesn't mean Walsh is better than Wakeman, Emerson or Banks because he's not (Even when I must admit Ehart is my favorite drummer), but it means they work better together, closely followed by Wakeman - Fernandez.

Jordan Rudess & Vinnie Colaiuta Jeremy Colson (Dali's Dillema, etc) and John Macaluso (Ark, etc) are also beasts behind the kit. And should be "household" prog names. Neal Morse is my favourite piano player...not neccessarily the best. Also love Fredrik Hermansson from Pain of Salvation.

On the last Dream Theater tour Rudess and Portnoy performed an awesome keyboard/drum spot, an improv based off Zappa. |

On 2nd thought, why not name Barbara Dennerlein as keyboarder? She plays fusion, but she also gives concerts on church organs. And she really makes them swing. Who would believe "Satisfaction" by the Stones would work on church organ? And Barbara Dennerlein has one big advantage compared to other keyboarders: She doesn't need a bass player, since she plays a fantastic bass herself with her foot pedals. It is really something to see her live on stage. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Barbara Dennerlein (heavily modified Hammond B3) plays duos with Daniel Messina (drums). Those duos are more like trios though, since Barbara also provides bass lines with her foot pedals. She has an amazing technique for the foot pedals. Unsurpassed in that field. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Hey, Gaston! I was just typing in Chick Corea and Bill Bruford....I'll have to give you a cyber punch on the arm - do they do that in Canada, too? When two people say the same thing at the same time you have to give the other a punch in the arm. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

Go to her homepage http://www.bebabrecords.com/de/index.php - http://www.bebabrecords.com/de/index.php and click on "CD's" for a list of her records with with other labels and on "BeBab Records" for a list of records on her own lable. For records on which she appears as guest musician go to http://www.bebab-jazz.de/ - http://www.bebab-jazz.de/ . If you have real-player installed, you can listen to excerpts from some of her extraordinary stuff on her homepage. Oh, and any "bass" playing you think you hear on these excerpts is done with the foot pedals, at the same time as she plays the keyboards. Her footwoork is amazing. And here a few hot pics of her (she is not only a great player, she is beautiful as well).

Nah, we have this thing when you say stuff simultaneously - "Coke me one, two, three, four, five...etc" until the other guy says stop. Whoever starts the "coke me" first, the other guy has to say stop and however many "cokes" you end up being able to say in that window of time, that's how many cokes the guy owes you! Ah Canuckisms. Gotta love 'em.  Gaston ------------- It's the same guy. Great minds think alike. |

Well to take the question literally and identify keyboardists who drum and vice versa: Jan Hammer (Check out the Hammer/Goodman album Like Children - LP sleeve has a photo of Jan Hammer behind a drum kit). Gary Husband (check out Billy Cobham's Traveler and Husband's own Things We See for Husband the keyboardist, and the recent Force Majeure DVD for both). Robert Wyatt (One of the best even Mellotron pieces on Matching Mole's Oh Caroline) Jack DeJohnette (many of his solo albums for ECM Records) |

| Danny Carey? Are you kidding me? He is good- but NO WAY the BEST- or even considered in the same breath as the greats. WOW- Pert for ME.. technically Vinnie Col. is tops- Mike Portnoy cant be considered because everything he plays is from PERT- keyboard- uhhhh Sherinain i guess. |

Jordan Rudess for keyboards, probably, but when Kevin Moore isn't singing terribly, his keyboarding ability is worth something. And my favorite drummer would either be Mike Portnoy or Jason Rullo. ------------- "Don't listen to me." |
