As I drummer this is one of the main things I ever think about. I want to know who other drummers or people think is the best drummer. Please do not just say a name please say why you think this person is the best of the best.
Here is my list: It is in no specific order 1. Keith Moon - The Who This guy plays the drums as an instrument not a time keeper 2. Buddy Rich He paved the road for drummers 3. Tre Cool - Green Day This guys is my idol. He has so much energy and flies in the drums.
You can comment on other peoples favorite drummers but keep the feedback positive.
is that your list of favorites? or best drummers of all time XD
well i would post a reason for each of the following im about to list but thats ALOOOOT of effort for this list. ill just post a list and you can question whod you like to.
i am also a fellow drummer, played for 5 years now. im very well knowledged
each rank is based on influence, inovation, and over all skill
KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A ROCK LIST. if you really want me to go into jazz drummers and such then message me on my page
I have to agree with your list. My list was mostly an example/best/favorite drummers. But I have to agree that they are some of the best of the best. I btw have been playing drums for 1 year and percussion for 5 years.
1.brann dailor (mastodon) i love his beats. like megaladon gives me an eargasm practically every time 2.mike portnoy (dream theater/ liquid tension) me being the AVID dream theater fan that i am (even though hes not in it any more ) mike portnoy has to be on my list 3.neil pert nuff said 4.thomas pridgen (the mars volta/the memorials) lak, when lak, i saw him at lak, the toads tavern, for lak his drum clinic, it was lak, awesome 5.Christopher Tsagakis (RX bandits) straight up BAD ***
Wow haha Gene Hoglan is far from great he may be your favorite drummer but delossantosj is right. The best people are people that have left a mark on the drumming society. You can say their name and the first think you think of is "great drummer" the first thing I think of when I hear gene hoglan is who is that?
There's a few drummers that I really like, no order, because I suck at making lists, although Neil Peart will be the best:
-Neil Peart (RUSH) -Dave Lombardo (Slayer) -Carl Palmer (ELP) -Chad Smith (RHCP) -Lars Ulrich (Metallica) -Chris Adler (Lamb of God) -John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) -Keith Moon (The Who) -Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater) -Ringo Starr (I think everyone knows what band he was in) -Danny Carrey (Tool) -Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix) -Ginger Baker (Cream)
I could probably name a lot more, but those are the ones that I can remember. I don't stalk drummers, but I do LOVE Dave Lombardo and Chad Smith, a lot.
