Memnoch The Devil Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Out of these guys, who do you feel is/was the best drummer?Tell me if there's others I should add. Edited February 1, 2009 by Memnoch The Devil Quote
Guest deleted_19765 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 A vote for anyone but Bonham or Moon is hard to justify, for this group at least. I don't think Matt Sorum or Dave Grohl really belong. If we are going to just assume its Rock we're talking about, I would add Ringo Starr, Bill Bruford, Steve Gadd, Chad Smith, and Stephen Perkins to name a few. But Bonham was probably the greatest, no matter who you include. I don't really care for Led Zeppelin much at all anymore, but I love listening to him still. Most of the best drummers are in Jazz though. Quote
Lithium Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 I can't decide whether I should vote for Moonie or Bonzo. Quote
Vogstar90_G'N'R Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Joey Jordison............... from those bonham Quote
JeanGenie Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 From that list i would say Bonzo, although Keith Moon was great too. Overall Art Blakey is the best. Quote
The Third Man Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 In that very limited list. John Bonham. Out of everyone, Bill Bruford is the man Quote
KetchupNotMayo Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Christ, hard to decide between Bonham and Moon.I'll say Keith just for the performance/explosion on Smothers Brothers in the '60s. I'd also add Ginger Baker of Cream and Neil Peart of Rush to the list, both fantastic drummers. Edited February 1, 2009 by KetchupNotMayo Quote

bt88 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 The poll needs the following additions:Danny Carey- ToolNeal Pert- RushBrann Dailor- MastodonThe first two I think speak for themselves but for those unfamiliar with Mastodon watch this video and tell me he isnt one of the best in the game:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6uGV-f_7HgThe key moment is the break down at 1:34. nasty Quote
dirtylenny Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Moon for sheer originality...for basically reintepreting entire pieces of music through the drums. For the sheer spectacle of his performances..absolutely no one to beat him. There might be technically better drummers than moon in the same way there are technically better guitar players than Hendrix but when push comes to shove, everybody knows who really cuts the mustard :)No one ever mentions Cozy Powell Edited February 1, 2009 by dirtylenny Quote

stacks on deck Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 weak list composed mostly of classic rock drummers; there's much better drumming in other genres.kashikura takashi (toe).terry bozzio (frank zappa).chad wackerman (frank zappa).john french (captain beefheart).zack hill (hella).jon theodore (the mars volta).damon che (don caballero). Quote
RJ88 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Matt Sorum does not belong on the list...loli'm going with none of the aboveJosh Freese FTW! Quote
Turn_It_Up Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Not sayin' he better than a Bonham or Moon, but Chad Smith rocks my socks the most of today's drummers. Can funk out and wail with equal skill... Edited February 1, 2009 by Turn_It_Up Quote
Demon Wolf Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Roger Taylor is my personal favourite, he's got an awesome, huge drumming style with bombastic fills.http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=b7V8aQuZ1Qk&...=1&index=12And to be able to sing so good while playing... Quote
kevdo242 Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 John BonhamBen Johnston (easily better than Watts and Sorum)Guy from Mars VoltaRadiohead guy Quote
Snake Eyes Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 Out of that list, Keith Moon.Also like Tommy Lee (Motley Crue), John Fred Young (Black Stone Cherry), Roger Taylor (Queen), Neil Peart (Rush), Mitch Mitchell (Hendrix Experience) and Bonham. Plus others I've forgotten. Quote

Plus others I've forgotten.Good pick on Tommy Lee.He probaly is more known today for his "celebrity", than his music, but people shouldn't forget how talented he is.Maybe Top Ten of Alltime. Quote
Graeme Posted February 1, 2009 Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Iain Bayne, none of you will have heard of them but he's my favourite drummer, a total powerhouse and really technical too. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=axC0JvUhww8http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-Qbb1yWsRu8 The latter especially. Daniel Svensson's spectacular as well. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fYM2ngWz0JE&...feature=related Edited February 1, 2009 by Graeme Quote
