Vodka for breakfast? Easy
Who else performs monster drum solos while blowing huge bubble gum bubbles?
- John Elway“When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
Neil Peart is the best drummer ever. Period. Not my favorite, but the best.

I don't have a best drummer. Yet. But I found a top-100 list and some of the names surprised. Like Minutemen's George Hurley. But it makes sense.

Here's the list. I haven't made it to the punchline(s) yet. I'd guess it's the regulars--Moon, Bonham, or Peart.

I have a soft spot for the unheralded drummer who embraces the role of timekeeper...like this dude says:
The Hal Blaines of the world. Those are my guys.But he's equally at home sitting in the pocket and keeping a sturdy beat. "[As the drummer], I'm the employee," he told Esquire. "My job is to listen, learn, lead. And I understand I'm not the boss." With a sixth sense for what makes music pop and the patience to take direction, he's ended up as a go-to studio beatsmith for the Rolling Stones...

A couple of my favorite drummers:
Vinny Paul
Chris Adler
David Deipold
Matt Greiner

Now I'm on a Benny Benjamin deep dive...he was an OG motown drummer (Marvelettes, Four Tops, Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Gladys, Wilson Pickett, Smokey, Supremes...just...dayum)
I ran across this spotify list a few weeks back, got some great drumming on it

Ingo Schwichtenberg, former Helloween drummer, was the best drummer no one ever heard of. I'm sure Northman will agree.
