I can understand you thinking Neil Peart is over the top, but I really don't think Danny Carey is... don't mistake chops for showing off. His parts are quite technical, but also very fitting... he has excellent feel. And I didn't have to endure any sort of drum solo when I saw Tool live.
 
ginger baker.. He is very - something- .I dont know any of those people.. max from conan. I always thought joey jordison had amazing energy. I think that any vote is biased to the persons liking. music is more opinionated then fact, so a choosing of the best is improbable, but asking who is the favorite is more likely.
Ill vote for Max from conan o brien...It is nice to watch conan make fun of him.
 
Different styles require different drum sets.

While it would be silly to drum for a punk or indie band with the kinda drum set Terry Bozzio uses, it would be impractcal to drum for a prog or metal band with this.

I think he was just saying that Meg White is underrated as a drummer, i dont think he was saying she was one of the best, i think he chose to mention her simply because shes a drummer and this is a drummer related thread, which makes sense.

I also think people dont give her enough credit, but i freely admit that shes nowhere near one of the best.
 
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Aside from Peart and Portnoy those are rather lame choices.

Jason Rullo from Symphony X is very good and so is Johan Langell from Pain Of Salvation, but you're saying it like Carey cant compare, which is basicly bollocks, even the most passionate Tool haters appreciate Careys skill and experience as a musician, maybe you should too...Im far from a Tool fanboy, but your lame attempts to strip the band of all credibility is starting to piss me off, you need to cut it out.

And Bonham?...You really werent trying then, im the biggest Zephead you will ever meet, on this forum especialy, and i love Bonham, but skill was never his greatest strong point, like Moon he could be sloppy at times, and his drumming is more intense than it is complex, dont get the two confused.

I could name a handful of better drummers than Bonham, Danny Carey being one of them.

This may piss the zepheaRAB off, but hopefuly they will realise that im talking about pure skill, not greatness or coolness or influence.
 
Hey fucker. Im seriously sick of you.
Your an ignorant cunt who thinks all rap sucks even though he hasnt heard rap.
and your bitching about my grammar when you start a sentence with "and?"
Shutup you filthy hypocrite.
Quit getting off subject as i said pointing out all my errors doesn't help your case. If anything it makes it look like you read that "how to be a troll" thing on floating around on the internet.
I think joey jordison is an amazing drummer.
and I'd vote for him cause i think hes better then all of them.
But hell people didn't die for america so i could voice my opinion freely now did they?
 
I dont really take these 'best drummers of all time' lists really all that seriously as to me it is just somebodys opinion just like mines or anybody else's ; just because they write for a magazine doesnt mean they have the godlike say in 'whos the best', I really dont care whos the best I listen to music that I like and that moves me and dont really give two ****s about what people think. In no particular order my favourite drummers are
John Bonham (Led Zeppelin)
Steve White (Paul Welller)
Jack Irons (Early RedHotchiliPeppers/Pearl Jam/Solo) (he also played on the Neil Young/Pearl Jam collabaration album 'Mirrorball' on which I think the drumming is nothing short of fantastic')
To be honest I aint really that big on drummers although there are a few who really stick out to me anyway.
 
you mean like 99% of all the other prog drummers?

Bruford, Collins, Mason, even technically complex guys like Brann Dailor are fine with an 8-10 piece drumset. there's only a few knuckleheaRAB out there that have enormous sets, and a good bit of it arises from pretensions or insecurities they have with being normal. nobody neeRAB a set like Peart's or Bozzio's, and i'm willing to bet it hampers their freedom of movement more often than not.

christ knows the asshats using dual guitars could use a poke in the side too.
 
Indeed, ringo like him or not was one of the first drummers to play in that kind of style, such as using right hand drum kits but using his left head for lead, the matched grips, downtuning, muffling devices on tonal rings and highrise drumsets...Many techniques which he made popular in mainstream rock and pop music.
 
I really like Dave Grohl and Travis Barker. The Fall Out Boy drummer is quite good too, (though you'll probably call me emo) and the current Foo Fighters drummer.
