Croman,
My original post:

"Kind of a spin off from the Where Do You Live State. But other than yourself what well known drummers are from your home state or facimile there of?"

Being from The Commonwealth of Massachusetts I just had to respond.😁

My state of Massachusetts:
Hal Blaine
Steve Smith
Joe Morello
Mike Mangini
Kenny Aronoff
Sib Hashian
Vic Firth
David Robinson
Stephen Jo Bladd

That's off the top of my head not too bad for a small state. I would say that it would be difficult to name them all from bigger states.

I’m also a PA guy.

Vinnie C, as previously stated.

Believe Ray Luzier is also from western PA.

Maybe not a household name- Kevin Soffera, very talented guy, used to play with Greg Howe. Terrific player and teacher.

Wow! George Lawrence Stone wish I came up with that one! Nice catch!

Jazz drummer Joe Morrello started taking lessons from Stone when he was sixteen. "Every lesson was a joy to go to," Morello said. "If you did something wrong, he had a way of letting you know about it, but without belittling you. He was a very gentle kind of man, and he had a good sense of humor. He had a way of bringing out the best in me." Stone, in turn, was inspired by Morello, who would add various accents to the exercises in Stick Control. Stone incorporated some of Morello's ideas into his book Accents and Rebounds, which he dedicated to Morello, and some of the exercises Stone wrote out for Morello appeared in Morello's 1983 book Master Studies.

He also taught Krupa, Wettling, and Lionel Hampton.
