    Fantasy All-Star Rock Band, Day 45: Pick your favorite SOUTHERN ROCK Drummer!

    Welcome to Day 45, Band 7 of the Fantasy All-Star Rock Band Challenge!

    Congratulations to DUANE ALLMAN, who joins the band on Lead Guitar! *AND* congratulations to The Outlaws' (and sometimes Skynyrd's) HUGHIE THOMASSON, who joins the band on Rhythm Guitar in a twofer today!

    Now pick your favorite Southern rock DRUMMER for the band!

    Pick artists who represent the best in Southern rock --- be it true southern rock, or rockabilly, or blues/blues rock, or country/ country rock/ alt-country....

    I'm not going to *require* that a nominee be from the South (that's Southern US, by the way, in case our friends in Europe, Asia or Oz were wondering ); just that their sound has typically been considered part of one of the above southern genres. (I can think of several major "southern rock" groups right off the top of my head that are/were based in California, the UK, or Australia....)

    You may choose any southern rock artist from the 1950s on, male or female, living or dead. Since it's a theme week, there's no "retired band member" restrictions, either.

    Day 1: Vocalist: Ronnie Van Zant
    Day 2: Lead Guitarist: Duane Allman
    Rhythm Guitarist: Hughie Thomasson
    Day 3: Drummer: ???
    Day 4: Bassist: ???
    Day 5: Keyboardist: ???
    Day 6: Songwriter(s): ???
    Day 7: Name This Band!

    Yeah ZZ was my Ideal vocals choice, but Beard would be great for drums in line with Duane's awesome guitar skills

    Like I said they are listed as Southern Rock, but I never really considered them to be Southern Rock and I think Beard's drums would work well with Duane's guitar skills
