That's great. Now you need to go back and find the people who influenced your influences. I'd start with Junior Wells

Wow... influences is a big question. It's hard for me because keyboard players influenced my drum playing almost as much as drummers did. Drummers.. when I first heard Carmine Appice play I knew I wanted to be a drummer. Oddly enough he isn't one of my favorites. Mitch Mitchell, John Bonham, Carl Palmer, and Billy Cobham. and the drummers who influenced them... Elvin Jones, Art Blakey, Philly Jo Jones. Those are my drum influences. I don't consider myself proficient enough on the other instruments I played to have influences.
