173: John "J.R." Robinson (Rufus, Michael Jackson, Eric Clapton, Daft Punk, etc.)

John "J.R" Robinson has an extraordinary sense of time, a crisp
tone, and a gift for developing rhythmic hooks. All of these
attributes contribute to his status as one of the most in-demand
session drummers of all time. Joe visited J.R. at his home to
discuss: his childhood in Iowa; why his drum set was his best
friend; attending Berklee College; joining Rufus and moving to
LA; working with a host of iconic artists; and why marriage is a
bad idea (at least until you have your life together).
