[edit] Introduction

"...best drummer of all time"

Though I do agree to this judgment, I don't think there's any way to prove this factually. Who gives out the best drummer of all time award? —Preceding unsigned comment added by A3ulafia (talk • contribs) 19:27, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Massive attack

I think the Massive Attack mention paragraph is kind of anecdotic and having him in the second place is like giving too much importance to it. Taking into account the huge influence of Billy Cobham it's counfusing to begin with. In my humble opinion this could be solved by moving that paragraph way down.

[edit] Year of Birth

This says he was born in 1948 but at the bottom says he is listed with people born in 1944. So which is it, 1948 or 1944? - Rachaella —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.69.8.191 (talk) 15:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC).

• It says on numerous sources that it was 1944, i'll change it. Thanks for pointing that out JimHxn 15:19, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I saw him at the 'Trenton War Memorial Theater' in NJ. I had front row seats on the balcony which allowed us to look down at him as he literally crawled into and out of his drum-set. His arms were a blur!!!

[edit] is he ever credited as "Ahmad Miller"?

Also any info on his faith? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.22.78.184 (talk) 05:01, 6 May 2007 (UTC).

What makes you think he's been credited Ahmad Miller? I do think he's a christian, but I have no reliable source on that. McYaballow (talk) 19:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
