Keep I agree the article is poorly sourced, but the subject has received coverage in New York Times (
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/12/arts/music/12drummers.html), Downbeat, Drum! Magazine (
http://drummagazine.com/groove-analysis-marcus-gilmore/), and other reliable sources to have it pass GNG. It's true the coverage is a mixed bag of name checks vs. something a bit more substantive (the referenced NPR source is confusing: although labeled a blog, it is in fact a blog under the editorial auspices of NPR), so call it a weak keep if you want, but I think the solution is to improve the article to rather give it the axe.

Keep as per ShelbyMarion the article is poorly sourced but after a brief search enough other sources exist to get this past WP:GNG (even removing the fact he's got famous lineage.) While promotional, Zildjian even have him as famous drummers who use their equipment:
