stuckincincy Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Cozy Cole. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyTyKe6mlwo
Astrojanitor Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 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
truth on hold Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Rock John Bonham Phil Collins Neil Peart a distant 3rd
bdelma Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 What kind of drummer? technical types? Rock drummer alive Ginger baker
Mike In Illinois Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 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).
LongLiveRalph Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Jimmy Chamberlain of Smashing Pumpkins, particularly on 1993's Siamese Dream The drumming is unreal on that album.
Wooderson Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 I've gotta start out with Bonzo /thread Paul Lowndes (Streetlight Manifesto)-- Not the best by any means, but Everything Goes Numb is one of my favorite albums and I love his drumming on it.

He used to really beat the **** outta his drums, he was awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_fwcFjzyik
DrFishfinder Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Carl Palmer Whoa.....most excellent choice! Billy Cobham, Bill Bruford, Alan White (Yes) & Lenny White (Return to Forever). Bill Ward: The Sabs....very underrated.
yall Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 Obviously Peart should be at the top. In Modern Drummer magazine, he isn't even allowed to be nominated in reader polls anymore, because he always wins.
MattyT Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 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!
Chandler#81 Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 been done Thanks. Wasn't sure if I was sufferin' from a bout of short term memory grasp, or just crazy. eh.. it's the off-season. Music threads always work here. Most influential: Richard Starkey. ..Zack's Dad Lengthy, but rare, pre-'64
