Hi,

No Pierre Moerlen?

Hi,

I posthumously nominate John Glascock.

Funny, I'd have thought Mick Fleetwood would have been a little higher on that list.  I guess he's not a composer some of FM's big hits.  I guess it doesn't have to be just royalties.  I suppose some could have been smart investors, too.  

No kidding ... but he has admitted wasting a lot of it ... but still ... he likely would be one of the highest grossing drummers around ... !!!

Hi,

And some of the broke'iest drummers around still playing!

1. Mani Neumeier (GuruGuru)
2. Simon Phillips
3. Steve Gadd
4. Danny Fielschelsher (AD2)

to name a few ...

Pierre, stated on a nice talk here in Portland that he didn't give a dang about the money as long as he could travel and have fun playing. He also said that he came with Gong that first time because he really wanted to see America ... !!!

Mani gets the award for old foggie drummer that is totally nutz and Bapu'd senseless ... at his age, he is still able to thrash-metal with Acid Mothers Temple and not miss a beat ... in fact he has joked that more than once they missed the beat and the play much more than he did!

Hi,

5. Pete Best

WHERE'S PETE BEST?

"Pete Best, with a net worth of $2 million, is one of the rare few who are famous for the job they were fired from, rather than any accomplishments before or since."

Something tells me the $2M is from the club his mum owned (where The Beatles played). But I imagine it's like the articles said, many notables have "retired" from drumming and still got the cash.

Wasn't the Bouy a drummer?
