Best Drummer

Drummers don't matter that much too me. I don't think there was ever a point in music where I say 'The drummer really ruins the song for me'. Maybe over-drumming, but eh that rarely happens. Same thing with bass guitar, rarely ruins a song.

But I'll take what is probably the best filler ever, Keith Moon.
 
Mike Portnoy, He is amazing.
Virgil Donati, for rolling, he is by far the fastest. He has so much style and the off time schemes that he plays are incredible.

I'm pretty sure I've already posted this $h!te, but hey whatever.

Flo's solo, in that museaum thing is pretty good. Horgh is also really good,I love his solo and the consistincy.
 
Nobody's mentioned Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa, Fantomas) or Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree, King Crimson). I think we should all take a moment of silence to ask ourselves why?
 
Neil Peart is in a whole different league compared to the others. If they meant influence, then Keith would win. My personal favs are Mike Portnoy and Dominic Howard.
 
Gavin Harrison is the best drummer that i have seen live, he is incredable. the Colour Haze drummer Manfred Mehwald is also supurb he makes playing look effortless
 
Well the best is sort of broad
i think the fastest drummer is probably Hell Hammer
the most technical would have to be Nick Barker
and i think the tastiest drummer is Owe Lingvall

i guess if i had to choose i would say Nick Barker
 
King Crimsons Drummer was pretty good, unique time signatures (don't know his name)

I feel Bonzo is slightly under-represented in this thread however. Sheer, power and passion. In Achilles he sounRAB like he's hitting the drums with tree trunks.
