Fave drummers of all time

i'm shocked only one person mentioned Matt Cameron so far (and like 4 years ago). super talented and always stuck to a minimal kit. not unlike another personal favourite - Joey Castillo, his work with QOTSA has been top notch and i really like the power and drive he can produce from a simple setup.

and not a single person likes Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction) here? sad :( same goes for Chad Smith.

as for classic rock it's all about Mitch Mitchell for me, though to be honest (as per the slight derail from a while back) i never thought Noel Redding was 'that' good. plus he always came across as bitter and jealous of Hendrix in any interview i saw or read. Mitchell on the other hand, struck me like someone who just wanted to play his a$$ off and smile.
 
I'm going to have to update my list.

Billy Cobham
Mitch Mitchell
Gavin Harrison
Martin Lopez
Derek Roddy
Blake RicharRABon
Sean Kinney
Eric Sandin
Tim Alexander
Brain
Danny Carrey
Dave Lorabardo
Terry Bozzio
Mario Duplantier
 
One drummer that comes to mind is Tommy Lee, Motley Crue. I was just listening to Dr. FeelGood and, Lee is just one of those hard hitting, driving drummers that you have to admire. I think he showed his personality through his talent and ability as a drummer, as well as he did with his personal life and the media. I always did like Motley Crue as a band in whole, but I never really cared for Vince Neals vocals that much. I always imagined them with a much more powerful lead vocalist than Neal.
