Top drummer of all time

Drakon · Nov 10, 2005, 05:55 PM

Since we got the bassists and guitarists, can't forget the drummers

In no particular order and from the top of my head:

Mitch Mitchell - May not be the best, but anybody that could have kept up with Jimi deserves respect in my mind...

Dave Grohl - Always pleasing to listening when playing the drums

Charlie Benante - speed drummer from Anthrax

Joey Jordison - Gotta give him props. The guy can play

niceguyrichy · Nov 10, 2005, 06:20 PM

mitch mitchell is right there, no doubt at all.

you forgot john bonham though

he was equally awesome.

btw, anyone ever heard stevie wonder play drums??
and no, not the start of some bad joke, that man can really play!

Sandok · Nov 10, 2005, 06:30 PM

Joey. He's just a god

daedal · Nov 10, 2005, 06:31 PM

Next Question should be... Who is the best Male Porn Star?

Asmoday · Nov 11, 2005, 12:24 AM

Virgil Donati, and Derek Roddy springs to mind, two completly different styles, but great drummers both of them..

Why don't you start up a thread axe?

riles9262 · Nov 11, 2005, 12:54 AM

ooo best drummer, I like them

best all time has to be neil peart from rush...that guys skills are just mad. Has anybody watched rush's newest dvd (rush in rio)? Another technical drummer I really like is bill bruford from yes and king crimson.

And for power, I gotta have bill ward from sabbath and john bonham from zeppelin

WxChaser · Nov 11, 2005, 12:57 AM

My favorite and a personal friend was the former drummer for the Scorpions (1977 - 1995) - Herman Rarebell. He pioneered the use of double bass drums in rock drumming.

riles9262 · Nov 11, 2005, 12:59 AM

^ and for that, lars ulrich is forever greatful

swimtech · Nov 11, 2005, 01:06 PM

Ray Cooper - percussionist extrordinaire!

Give a nod to Stewart Copeland (the Police...) and (why not?) Phil Collins.

Mick Fleetwood springs to mind too.

LeanWolf · Nov 11, 2005, 01:20 PM

Come on, good drummers are a dime a dozen. Don't know their names, don't care.
They're easily replaced.

Spazite · Nov 12, 2005, 10:11 PM

Neil Peart & Buddy Rich
On a side note: Neil just released a new instructional video and Rush will have a new DVD out on the 22nd.

lars ulrich is a nob. all the guy does is talk.

SFOSOK · Nov 12, 2005, 10:55 PM

Joey from Slipknot
The Drummer from Lamb of God (foget his name)
And slayers first drummer.

Edit: I would have to agree with Z on Lars, he is less than he thinks he is. He was probably the main reason their new ablum sucked (that and Hettfield getting out of rehab). He tries to hard to be the leader of Metallica. Hettfield and Lars argue all the time because Lars does not know his place. Hammett just sits there and looks cool (cause he is).

Raptor · Nov 12, 2005, 11:38 PM

Of *ALL* time? Easy, Gene Krupa.

Dave Lombardo. And he was reinstated in the band during the last tour so he should be in the studio with them for their next album.

Soilwork · Nov 15, 2005, 05:49 PM

Gene Hoglan (google him, this guy is a monster behind the kit)
Henry Ranta (Soilwork's ex drummer)

Rasta Monsta · Nov 15, 2005, 08:33 PM

Bonham
Moon
Peart

Nuf said.

Soilwork · Nov 15, 2005, 09:09 PM

damn straight. I saw you liked Soilwork's Stabbing the drama in a prior post - what about Chainheart Machine and Steelbath Suicide

Must add Per Moller Jensen of The Haunted. Saw them live and he blew me away with his skills
