Probably not the best drummer evar but definitely a very good one.

**IllTestYourGirls** · 04-09-2007, 06:17 PM

Easy the best drummers of all time:

Tomas Haake (MESHUGGAH) can you understand his patterns?

Danny Carey (Tool) http://www.dannycarey.org/

dave lombardo, scott travis

**Spunky** · 04-09-2007, 06:23 PM

**AsianDivaGirlsWebDude** · 04-09-2007, 06:26 PM

**Evil Doer** · 04-09-2007, 06:50 PM

Danny Carey
John Bonham
Mike Portnoy

My favorites, it's really difficult to say who is the best.

**DirtyDreamer** · 04-09-2007, 06:56 PM

Keith Moon

**CaptainHowdy** · 04-09-2007, 07:06 PM

Keith Moon is THE rock drummer... he influenced Bonham, Peart and so on.

Danny Carey is the best drummer of this past 10 years or so

, just fucking insane.

this thread should have been titled "worlds best rock drummer Neil Peart" granted there are some great drummers out there but he is heads and shoulders about the rest

**chaze** · 04-09-2007, 07:16 PM

I think the guy from avenged sevenfold has to be added. Listen to best and harlet

**calmlikeabomb** · 04-10-2007, 01:38 PM

Mike Mangini, is no doubt the fastest. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7TzWrKso4I

Check out his world record 1,203 stroke in 60 seconds videos. He teaches at Berklee in Boston a friend of mine has him as instructor. He's a cool dude, check out some of his drum solo videos.

**Bryan G** · 04-10-2007, 01:44 PM

Ringo Star

**BigCashCrew** · 04-10-2007, 02:30 PM

Ringo is the LUCKIEST drummer in the world.

His son, Zak Starkey, is way better than Ringo ever was and currently playing with The Who. My brother, Kebo the drum tech, will be touring with The Cult this summer and they will be playing a string of European dates opening for The Who. He psyched as hell to meet Zak.

**TSGlider** · 04-10-2007, 03:44 PM

Wasn't the old question, Neil Peart or Stewart Copeland?

**sniperwolf** · 04-10-2007, 04:14 PM

Lars Ulrich is the best drummer for me..

**dready** · 04-10-2007, 04:20 PM

Add Mickey Hart to the list.

This guy lived his drums

**BlackCrayon** · 04-10-2007, 05:52 PM

Gene Krupa was damn good but i guess not really a rock drummer.

and yeah, props to bonzo and peart for sure.

**jonesy** · 04-10-2007, 06:08 PM

**_Rush_** · 04-10-2007, 06:24 PM

I like Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy and like some of Terry Bozzio's work too.

**tony286** · 04-10-2007, 06:25 PM

I agree with everyone except Alex VH fair at best

**_Rush_** · 04-10-2007, 06:38 PM

BTW, I don't think Danny Carey comes close to Peart's or Bozzio's league.

john bonham

**webair** · 04-10-2007, 07:03 PM

I went to high school with mike portnoy...never in my life have i seen him without a pair of drum sticks in his hands or in his back pocket...one of the nicest people i have ever met.

What is Primus' drummer's name?

If you like Metal or ridiculous 64th notes, check out this fucking band and then come tell me what you think of the drummer.

Scroll up to my first post in this thread

**uno** · 04-10-2007, 07:16 PM

Ah, that would be him. I always love when Buckethead joins Primus on stage too.

**CDSmith** · 04-10-2007, 07:28 PM

Of all time --- Bonham and Moon were and always will top the all time best list, they are gods.

Peart is the reining king though. The list of top existing drummers starts with him.

I'd like to add a shoutout here for the drummer of BOC. Maybe not the best drummer but that guy sure puts on a show, when he gets that dinosaur head on for "Godzilla" he pounds those drums nearly to ashes.

Former semi-pro drummer with a scholarship to Berklee back in the day here.

Still, the fact that I do not like Carey doesn't mean that you can't like him. He's a great and powerful drummer, but he doesn't come close to others IMHO. In fact, I really started disrespecting him ever since I read somewhere that he said that Bozzio doesn't play with enough "musicality".

If there is a drummer out there trying to take drums farther than just a percussion instrument, it's Terry Bozzio.

**WarChild** · 04-10-2007, 07:33 PM

Half points to Rick Allen for effort

**WWC** · 04-10-2007, 07:48 PM

Of course my good friend John from System of a Down :-)

**chodadog** · 04-10-2007, 07:57 PM

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Brann Dailor from Mastodon.

**chodadog** · 04-10-2007, 08:02 PM

And these 3 dudes:
