Best Drummers Thread

[Erixouther]

It's tough.

My dad and I have argued for years over who is better - I say Danny Carey of Tool, he says Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews Band. They're both masters of their instruments.

I've just discovered Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater/Liquid Tension Experiment. He's amazing as well =]

It's a tough choice...

[Daniel Eboli]

John Bonham.

Why? Cause he was the best of the best.

I like Neil Peart a lot too.

Dave Wekcl (dunno how to spell)

Mike Mangini.

Mike Portnoy.

And many others

Rock / Progressive: Carl Palmer , Alan White ( Check him out on John Lennon's Instant Karma !)
Jazz / Big Band Buddy Rich

Ringo Starr ( Check the fills on the Beatles work!)

Keith Moon ( The Who) The enegy this guy puts in is amazing

Bill Bruford ( Yes !) Has his moments too.

Terry Bozzio ( UK and Frank Zapper and the Mothers)

Hands down for me Carter Beauford. Such a creative drummer. I'm trying to think of another drummer, he played with Sting for a while I believe he was French maybe it will come to me later.

Barriemore Barlow - listen to his solo on Conundrum on the live Tull album 'Bursting Out'
