Those that have been able to integrate drums/rhythm into their guitar playing are easily recognizable.
McLaughlin and Konokol
DiMeola started on drums

I definitely agree, rhythm is absolute foundation to music.
I started with drums and only played them for years. After awhile I picked up piano and guitar but I tend to incorporate a drummers mind set into them, definitely guitar anyway.
When I started playing guitar I started to do percussive drum beats on the body of my acoustic. It blends well with my reggae/jam style. That definitely was attributed to the fact that I was a drummer first. My guitar playing isn't near the likes of Andy McKee or John Butler though haha
