Best Drummer
 

I was wonderin who you all think is the best drummer of all time. I only put my top 5 on the poll so feel free to say any other ones that arent on there.

I love Dave Grohl....I dont know If he is the best but him and Ringo are my favorites

Good choice young lad, though Alan White and Bill Bruford should have been mentioned IMO, and Terry Bozzio....Im going with the Peart man. :cool:

I think Moony is a great drummer...Kieth moon:) high energy performer

haha....did you vote for Moon too?

Nope.


I actualy prefer him to Peart, but im trying not to be biased.

have any of you heard of OPETH?????

.....yes, everyone here has most likely heard of Opeth....its not like theyre some extremely underground band

Chris Adler (Lamb Of God)
Vinnie Paul (Pantera/Damageplan)

Jaska Raatikainen, or Dave McClain just for Davidian, Vinnie Paul in f*cking hostile is crazy also!

Keith Moon for me, not the best technically, but easily the most exciting and entertaining drummer ever.

...haven't there been like 20 threads like this?
Anyway, i voted for Moony, though i love Bonham as well

I just did a search for best drummer....I think this is the only one, there is A Fave drummer thread though

that's the one. Nevermind then.

I voted for Keith Moon... Joey from Slipknot is good for his technique but what about Meg White I like her striped down simplicity.

I like Danny Carey but I like Keith Moon also. I'll give Danny boy a push start.

Keith Moon.


[/Keith Moon wins by a landslide] :)

It also makes me happy to see that Joey Jordison is not on this poll.

Are you joking? Toned down simplicity? It's not toned down simplicity, she's just ****.

Your an ignorant dickhead

You're telling me Meg White isn't sh*t?

No i believe hes telling you the truth.
I vote for keith moon cause of his amazing skills.
tr00 meaning hes the only one ive heard of on there =X

You ****ing suck at catching sarcasm.

Why is she ****?.... Because she dosent wank on a double bass like a monkey with a baseball bat like all metal drummers tend to do?... Moses was right about the tone downed simplicity, she uses it to her advantage, she just plays basic stuff, hows that bad?, rock music wasnt always complicated as bloody hell you know. Its not like she actualy screws up or misses notes, she just does her job, which is keeping the rhythm in a band that has no bass player to help her. If you want a bad drummer, try Tommy Lee, that guy is more sloppy than a sloppy joe.

I still say the best is buddy rich, I haven't seen anything change my mind yet

The drummer from Def Leppard > Meg White...

AND he's only got one arm.

The White Stripes are the sum of all their parts.
Meg being 50% of that sum. Her minimalistic style contributes to 50% of what the sum total of The White Stripes are...SHIT HOT!!!

If you are gonna bash bands like Nirvana and White Stripes, then judge them by the whole and not the sum of their parts. By your logic, Pink Floyd sucks ass because Nick Mason isnt a virtuoso of any kind, and Jimi Hendrix sucks because Noel Redding isnt a bass god.

Who me?

no...Kempson

Man i truly sont understand.........yes Keith Moon is a great drummer.......But hes not even close to as good as Peart or a lot of drummers

Like this is for "BEST" drummer not the most entertaining

Good point LesPaul.

In which case it's Peart.
But if I had a choice to see Peart or Moon, then it's Moon every time.

^ I think "best" should include how well they perform too. It's all a part of being part of the band. Entertainment wise.

True enough....But i still think that my point stands

im just going to say vinnie paul he kicks my ass

I'm suprised to see that so many of you prefer moon with almost no mention of bonham. I think that bonhamn surpasses moon in skill and possilby is more entertaining to watch as well, but it's hard to say. I have to give him alot of credit to be able to solo for sometimes in excess of 1 hour. I love watching him play moby dic k live, none of these other drummers have a moby **** like bonham's. I sort of put neil peart and danny carey in the same boat, they are both extremely talented drummers, but i do get bored watching them much sooner than bonham or moon, and i think captavating the audiences attention is a major part of drumming

^ I love Bonham, and Moby **** on How the West Was Won is out of this f-in world. However, i haven't had the pleasure of seeing him do it live. I have heard stories of Moon, however, and his drumming on the Leeds album is unbelieveable. It was a tough decision for me, but in the end i went with Moon.

(p.s. love your sig Kashmir - two excellent songs)

moon wasnt the best technically but when you see him play, he plays with a lot of passion - some musicians just play like robots - so moon gets my vote

I'm not bashing the White Stripes, I'm bashing Meg White. You're twisting my words. I'm saying Meg White is a sh*t drummer technically.
