Aynsley Dunbar is probably best known for his work as Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame drummer of early Journey, but he has played with so many different bands it is crazy. Being a Frank Zappa fan I knew he played on several of his albums, but also with Jeff Back, David Bowie, Lou Reed and tons more. He almost played with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. That would have been amazing, Mitch Mitchell just beat him out (supposedly by a coin toss).You can look him up on so many different albums. This is my pick of the man. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many to pick from and I'm sure you may have your favorites. Please leave a comment to tell me which ones you would have put on here.
