The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Cindy Blackman

Growing up studying jazz didn’t prepare Cindy Blackman for the rock and roll industry. Cindy was picked up by Lenny Kravitz, who was notorious for his fairly pocketed songs. Lenny’s songs are largely built around a consistent beat and a consistent riff that repeats itself multiple times. Cindy is one of those drummers who like to stay in the pocket until a small bit of flair finds itself coming out. She's considered to be one of the greatest drummers of all time, and she's married to Carlos Santana.
