Best drummer of all time?

the drummer on the first 2 or 3 Parts & Labor albums was an absolute monster. Probably the best I have ever seen play.

Of course I don't remember his name at all or feel like looking it up.

 

Keith Moon needs to be on the list

Paul Quattrone from Modey Lemon

Steve Shelly from Sonic Youth

Kid Millions from Oneida

Dave Lombardo from Slayer/Fantomas

 

If anyone is interested in drummers I'd suggest checking out the more recent Boredoms records. Their new stuff is 3 drummers and various noise. Sounds like it would be obnoxious, but it really isn't. Kind of hypnotic and beautiful

My vote's for Bonzo Bonham as well. I read in a book about Led Zeppelin that Karen Carpenter actually beat out Bonham in an annual poll for Best Drummer. Interesting.....

 

 

I'd also nominate Stuart Copeland (Police).

 

 

He used to really beat the **** outta his drums, he was awesome

All time: Buddy Rich

 

Modern: Mike Portnoy

 

And even though he isn't a technically gifted drummer...I love listening to Ringo play. If anyone has Anthology 2, listen to the end of the third Strawberry Fields track on Disc 2. Dude goes off!
