Yeah, Elvin was a phenomenal player. His work with Coltrane is some of the best jazz drumming, period.
Tony was another incredible one. Speaking of which...have you guys seen those old videos of the classic quartet on drummerworld.com?

Amazing stuff.
Another rhythm section that I've really been digging lately that I don't think is given its due is the Bill Evans trio. I bought "Explorations" the other day, and am loving it....Bill of course was an amazing musician, and Paul Motian and Scott Lafaro ain't exactly scabbs at their respective instruments, either. I definitely recommend you guys check it out.
