    I’ve always thought Born and Dancing were two great examples of studio drumming. Dancing basically doesn’t have a single fill throughout the entire tune whereas Born has a monster fill at the end of every four bars. Both are perfect for what they are and that’s why Max is a beast of a player.

    I love Springsteen, but Weinberg should have had songwriting credits for Born In the USA. It's his drumming that makes the song interesting musically.

    Weinberg was a HUGE part of Springsteen's sound at this time period. His Charlie Watts inspired fills are
    perfect for this song. Rest easy Charlie. We could never forget you.

      @@cassandragarcia5548 I guess "better" is in the eye of the beholder. Most experienced musicians (Ie musicians that have toured, recorded on well known records, etc) will tell you it is FAR easier to play with a lot of "chops"/fills and showboating then it is to play consistently on multiple hit records. That is why there are thousands of flashy drummers but very few Jim Keltners, Hal Blaines, JR Robinsons, Steve Gadds, etc.

    In the book written by Max, "The Big Beat", there was only one drummer missing from those included. Unfortunately, the time line for the book could not allow this missing
    drummer. That would have been Max Weinberg himself...one of THE most important Rock drummers of our time...style, strength, finesse, timing, chops...Max had it all...
    and this is just my own epilogue for his phenomenal book....THANKS, MAX!!
