Title says all, who do you think is the best tenor player alive right now.

My choice is Bill Bachman.
He's Beatlicious

Matt "Data" Grimes.

Me?
Dear God No, but Tim Jackson floats my boat just fine.

Also, why are there so few "Famous" tenor players in the drumline scene?

I guess it depends on what your definition of famous is but I know a ton of tenor players doing great things on the drumline scene.

'cause snare drummers are attention whores.

Seriously, though, there are plenty of old tenor players out there who've contributed quite a bit to the activity. To name just a few off the top of my head: Murray Gusseck, Colin McNutt, J.J. Pipitone, Sean Vega, Bill Bachman, Leif Marwede...

...Mike Hodges, Mike Apadoca, Pat McGowan, Dave Schmuck, Jim Bailey, Mark Churchill, Brian Mason....



Best I've ever known.

i'm gonna put gusseck out there... but i'll take a ramey brother too, they've got talent

i'm going to have to say tim jackson but bill bachman is definatly a close second

I'm a huge fan of Omar Carmenates' playing, and writing for that matter. Check out his I&E from 2002.

Oh, and Nick Werth. My god, yes, Nick Werth...
