    Default Best drummer. Metal, rock, whatevs.

    These guys put forward the proposition that it might be TOOL's Danny Carey.



    SR and I were talking about Portnoy from Dream Theater earlier today. I have a buddy that thinks Portnoy and Peart are the tatas.

    Fug them. Carey isn't even top 10.
    Portnoy and Peart are quite groovy- but not the top. I've seen been lucky enough to see Neil Peart, Bill Bruford, Stewart Copeland, Phil Collins, Roger Taylor. Never got to see Moon, Ginger or Bonham.
    I would love to check out Gavin Harrison if he rolls into my neck o' the woods.

    As a complete package - greatest rock drummer eve' ....drum role please...Keith Moon.

    Did you ever read this New Yorker piece about Moon? A good read.

    There are some songs where I've thought "those drums/beats sound cool" while listening to them, but I've never really decided which drummer is the best.

    It's Ringo Starr, right?

    I did initially think about derailing this thread and making it about Prince, but decided against it. Thanks for the opportunity!



    but he was no Sheila E

    Thats tough because different styles call for different drummers. I'd almost say a session drummer like Steve Gadd should be near the top as they have to adapt to several styles of music. I don't know a TON of drummers but my top are (in no particular order):

    John Bonham
    Neil Peart
    Jimmy Chamberlain
    Al Jackson Jr (worked with Otis Redding and Eric Clapton)
    Dave Grohl

    There are probably tons of drummers I am not even aware of that should make that list! Gonna dig around some drum heavy tracks I like and see who was behind the beat.

    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

    that's a name i was getting ready to dig for. . . nice one!
    “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.”
