Best Drummers Thread

**ambernector** · 24-01-2008, 10:04

This is a multiple genre thread.... Meaning music lovers from all genres can post their opinions.

Please post who you think is the best drummer and why? Better also state which genre he/she mainly plays.

I'd have to say Tomas Haake of Meshuggah... An avant-garde metal band. I say this because he has the ability to play a simple 4/4 beat with his hands, while playing an immensely technical 23/16 beat with his feet. That takes more coordination and skill than I'll ever have.

Oh man, agreed. Thomas Haake and Vinnie Colauita are my favourite currently.

Keith Moon
Neal Peart
Danny Carey
John Bonham

Joey Baron, an avant-garde jazz drummer, is another favorite of mine.

Zach Hill of Hella/Chrime in Choir etc. He's a math rock/noise rock drummer. His footwork is just awesome and he's tremendously fast as well.

I tried to listen to Hella but was turned off by their newer stuff with the vocals... I like math/noise rock, though. I've got a Lightning Bolt album that I haven't listened to yet and a Don Caballero. Also Tera Melos, thoug they're kind of like a melding of post rock and math rock.
