Oh Yeah, How could I forget Keith Moon aswell. I must also say his replacement zack (Ringo's son) is also a fine drummer, some say better than his dad.

The funky phat Bernard Purdie.

I only have the MD so I can't check find the name - but the drummer on Vanessa Carlton's "Be Not Nobody" album was awesome

Anybody know his/her name??

K.

The guy out of Blink 182, Travis Somthing. I know the music isn't exactly the world's best thought out but some of his drumming parts are stupidly hard, and he's just as good live.

[sweetmate]

Actually that's true, most drummers who can drum like that deserve respect maybe not for their artisitic expression but for sheer technical skills and endurance.

I remember seeing Green Day twice in one year all those years ago and being astounded each time at how their drummer could do those insanely fast fills and rolls for 2 hours and not drop a beat!

[Rolo Tomasi]

Cozy Powell of Rainbow, MSG etc

Ted Parsons - Prong
Chuck Biscuits - Danzig

Both very different in style but overwhelming in their delivery.

[Donnacha]

Drummer out of Govt Mule (can't remember his name right now)
Steve Gorman out of the Black Crowes

[adox]

[LDR]

Lars Ulrich - Metallica
Clive Burr - Ex Iron Maiden, now sadly suffering with MS
Nicko McBrain - Iron Maiden

[Dave N]

the one out of the Corrs...

Forgot?? Shame on you
He's the greatest as far as I'm concerned
Anyone else hear a cowbell and a paradiddle

[alanrob]

Greatest drummer ever (IMHO) Steve Gadd.
He did a lot of session work in the 70's for Paul Simon.

Next would have to be Neil Peart of Rush.
Also, the drummer from Live is awesome too. Can't remember his name off hand, but I could go and look at one of the CD's I have.

Saw Steve Gadd many years ago on the S&G reunion tour of'82.Not bad,but the craziest drummer I ever saw live is the immortal Clem Burke of Blondie.

All the previous are ok.

But who can forget the legendary Animal from The Muppets!

[stormchaser]

hi
billy cobham (mahavishnu orchestra)
ginger baker (cream)
michael shrieve (santana)....see him on woodstock dvd awesome

[sweetmate]

Agreed, Michael Shrieve on Woodstock is mesmerising. Whatever happened to him?

Jeff Porcaro.
Famous for playing in Toto but was a top class session player on thousands of well known tracks.

must second John Bonham. Interesting that Phil Collins' name hasn't popped up - I'm sure he fancies himself the best drummer.

In that case, I'd like to be the first to inform him, by fax of course, that he's not.
