I have it down two people. Travis Barker, from Blink 182, or John Dolmayan, from System of a Down.

John uses a 52 piece drumset, I believe, and Travis' is close to it, (give or take a few pieces,) and they both use each and every piece of their drumsets. When watching them in music videos or concert footage, you can see they are both amazing. They just beat away, non-stop, and it's just awesome. I'd have to say, though, these two are the best drummers in the world, in my opinion. But who is better?

Joey Jordison is very good but i wouldnt call him the best

Depends.

Technically: Neil Peart, Terry Bozzio, Buddy Rich.

Preference: Danny Carey, Neil Peart, Terry Bozzio.

-AC

Danny Carey is better than both Travis Barker and John Dolmayan.

Not that either of them are bad...

Buddy Rich used a 10 piece I think. He's more technically skilled than both of those.

Number of pieces doesn't matter.

-AC

apparently a magazine asked all of the really good drummers from a heap of bands and the consencus was that the best drummer ever is Phil Collins, would you believe.
i think of the two named however, Barker is the superior

phill collins? i thought he was just a vocalist

the man is classically trained in several instruments, piano more obviously and drums. i'm not 100% what the others are but one of my mates was telling me and i only payed attention to the first part

Dave Lombardo
Neil Peart
Keith Moon

John Bonham.

Not forget roger taylor or charlie watts. They are craks too.

Hahaha.

Terry Bozzio. He is better than the two named with one stick only.

dont know who it is ...but i can tell you who its not...its not norma jean

Mitch Mitchell for Jimi Hendrix was a pretty sick drummer.
Dave Grohl is pretty good too.
Phil Collins is a pretty good also.

Drummers exist?


Joking. Poor guys never get enough respect. Always the singer.

Mike Portnoy, what a bonafied legend.

hes got a nice kit too

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!!!! that is the lagest drum set that i have ever sen in my entire life. how many pieces is that beast?

lol, and i do believe thats only half of it.

incase anyone didnt know, mike plays fr a band named Dream Theater, all the members are bonafied legends.

dave lombardo, in my opinion

Bozzio has the most awesome kits. Portnoy doesn't use that on stage as far as I recall. That's also two kits combined, as you can see from the two stools, and the two snare drums. He's excellent too though.

http://www.terrybozzio.com/images/kit/fkit.jpg

i woulda said Peart or Bozzio...

googled Bozzio's kit and this beast came out, not 100% sure if its 1 of his, but it came up on google and google never lies..

Man, you are underrating watts and taylor. See some concerts with the rolling stones or queen and youll see why they are in a top ten of best drummer of all time by many music critics and magazines.

Why do you assume he hasn't seen them?

Do you actually understand the concept: difference of opinion?

Bozzio is better than both of those anyway.

-AC

Dont post that garbage here, centauri, i was expressing my opinion. Naturally , all the people post his opinion as a matter of fact, same with you with your admired doom in the comics forum.

Stop getting comics involved in every single forum.

I asked you a question. Why do you suggest people to watch certain drummers if you don't agree with what they've already said? You operate under the assumption that we've never see those drummers or something?

Deal with it. Jeez.

-AC

Deal with your arrogancy, man. You are the first on make assumptions about everyone. Dont acusse another people on your own faults.

How about Todd Barnes, Tiny, Casey Royer, Dale Crover, and Patty Schemel?

Proof? Exactly. Shh.

For the record, on topic. I have lots of videos of drummers on my comp, the two you mentioned can't touch Terry Bozzio.

-AC

Danny Carey (Tool) and Neil Peart (Rush) would be my choices

Travis Barker ... whatever floats your boat

I tell you another secret, i have hundreds of dvds with many and many concerts of the three, and meanwhile Bozzio is better, the other two arent so far, and they are ranked in the top ten best drummers ever in several music magazines.

Yeah but rankings in music magazines don't mean anything concrete. It's just people saying who they think the best is.

Watts and Taylor are nowhere even close to dreaming of competing with Bozzio.

-AC

I agree,
Some of Careys solo's and fills are nuts!
do you remember when he goes into double time one, awww crap i forget the song, but it soulds like the CD is skipping, but its accually him playing a double time solo,
sick.

Yeah, is what people thing who are the best, but the opinion on specialized music critics is very valid, i think.

I think you might be referring to Forty-Six & 2, Tf.

It's still an opinion though Baker, Bozzio is actually more skilled than Watts and Taylor by miles.

-AC

if it were to be narrowed down to those drummers, i would have to say (because of my very biased opinion and my lack of knowledge toward System of a Down) that Travis is better.

AC, your right...

Travis Barker...

Persinally i prefer Ginger Baker ...

Hm...i think i'm going to have to say they're both pretty good, so i can't simply pick one. So ha! take that.....or not.

I think another great drummer would be the dude from SOAD John Dolmayan, he's pretty wicked too

I have never said that bonzo is worse than watts or taylor, im just sayint that those two should be mentioned in any list or poll of best drummers ever.

Who's referring to Bonzo? I said Terry Bozzio, of Frank Zappa and others.

-AC

Yeah! Give Bozzio with Zappa a big thumbs up! I have Lather, what albums have you got?

I've heard alot of the stuff through friends etc, for a long time.

I have Broadway the Hard Way on order, haven't been able to get around to purchasing.

-AC

If you've ever seen the extended drum solo for Moby Dick, you'll see Bonzo at his best! It's so much better to see them play something than just hear them. Peart is up there as well, just with the way he plays so technically. And Keith Moon as well.

JOHN BONHAM LED ZEPPELIN POSSIBLY THE BEST DRUMMER EVER
DAVE GROHL NIRVANA HE TOTALY ROCKS
KEITH MOON DOESNT PLA BY THE RULES HES JUST AWSOME
BUDDY RICH JUST AMAZING

all these drummers are way better then Travis Barker

I beleive tha the greatest drummer of all time is a tie between John Bonham of Led Zepplin and Neil Pert of Rush

If we are ment to chose from the two options on the poll i wont chose as i would NEVER rate either on as the best drummer of all time.

Personally though, i dont know. Either Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy or John Bonham.

both are these drummers... are banbored

Yeah poor babeh

i especialy liked the story about when he was feeling ill one night on tour and he had a bucket beside his drumkit so he could throw up and still go on playing

Yeah, its a shame, but all the maiden fans are really supportive. I met him a few weeks ago at Clive Aid in the Ruski Arms. It was a big event to raise money for his MS trust. It was really nice to see so many people turn up.

BTW, how was Tyranny Of Souls?

Wow, thats really nice..

It was the fooking sh!t icon5

...babeh... droolio

This guy is very unknown, but I would say Stu the ex-drummer from Burning Skies is the best! That's mostly double-bass drumming tho.

Thta guy from Drumline is the best drummer

The all-time greatest drummers:

John Bonham, Neil Peart.


However, if you want to travel back a bit, I would also name Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich, but I don't dig on their style.

I noticed some people mention Rick Allen of Def Leppard as a great. C'mon, people. Just because he's handicapped doesn't make him great. It sure as hell wasn't in Christopher Reeve's case. He still sucked at acting, regardless of being confined to a wheelchair. I've had farts with more complexity than Allen's beats. Aside from that Def Leppard blows entirely.

Good thing they didn't use Allen as the official clapper for the group; he'd really be up shit creek then.

There are some good drummers out there and they dont get any credit i mean who do you think gets a band notice the drummer... no the vocalist or a really good guitarist but never the drummer

The best drummer? Joey of Slipknot..

Fastest? Quite possibly.

Best? Not by a long way.

-AC

In my opinion, I'm gonna have to say Rocky Gray from Evanescence and John Dolmayan from System of a Down.

Rocky Gray cause he's just really coll with his rythem and he's in no rush. He's really fast at that. Great solo's and fills. Great appearence live. He's really good on stage.

Jonh Dolmayan cause he has great control even with great speed. That really tells something about a drummer. He connects his fills good, makes em sound full and in control.

They're both great role-models to look up to as a drummer.

Hahaha.

I'm sure Mr. Rocky Gray from Evanescence could play that kit.....

(If you don't know I'm being sarcastic, slap yourself.)

-AC

Chad Smith, most definately. No its not just 'cause i luv the Red Hot Chili Peppers, he can eat those drums for breakfast

Joey jordison isnt the fastest... the drummer from the Berserker drums at 600bpm and broke his legs by double bass pedalling too fast...

Never said he was the fastest.

-AC

True, sorry, I only ever skim short KMC posts, just picked up on some words, unfortunately leaving out the 'quite possibly' in your post.

Grohl

Dunno about the "Greatest" but my favorites would be John Bonham, Mitch Mitchell(JHE), Buddy Miles(B.O.G), Mike Bordin(Ex-Faith no more), Steve Gorman (Ex-Black Crowes) Dave Lombardo
(Ex-Slayer,Fantomas) for speed and I actually would have to say that anyone technical enough to have worked with Zappa so efficiently for so long, would have to be right up there..
Also the drummer from Mr.Bungle is shit hot too....

Danny Heifetz. Along with Trevor Dunn, Mr. Bungle's bassist, possibly two of the most underrated musicians ever.

Mike Patton has a habit of bringing the best out of everyone he works with, assuming they're not the best already.

-AC

You know what, Rocky Gray's a power pounder and ive heard him play live. It doesn't matter the size of the kit. I's how you use it. Besides, I've seen bigger. I shall prevail.

Mwahahaha

Nah, he's shit.

Sorry.

-AC

You hav your own opinion and I have mine. I think Rocky Gray can really play. Most likely better than you. So I'd just shut up. you shouldn't judge pro drummers.

And you shouldn't judge music.

If you think Rocky Gray is good, you have no sense of talent or quality perception and suck. Playing better than me doesn't make you candidate for the best drummer ever.

-AC

That dude from Sum 41 is the best drummer ever.

As I said. you have your own opinions and I have mine

Originally posted by SlipknoT

Well Joey is in the Top 10 Drummers. I think he is the best considering he only started being a drummer when he joined Slipknot

That doesn't mean anything.

He's really really fast but he's not good at making up things, hence why he needs to be backed up by two percussionists.

-AC

Joey Jordison ( and no he's not backed up by two percussionists they just follow what he does) Jason Bittner of shadows fall and Shannon Larkin of Godsmack

Jobbers.

Only one likely to be vaguely remembered is Joey, and that's for the mask.

My Top 5 Drummers ( in no particular order) Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Joe Morello(from the Dave Brubeck Quartet), John Bonham and Dave Lombardo....this is however biased since so many good drummers exist, why should a person be forced to pick just one or two?

No he's not. What part of this are you people not getting?

-AC

Based on drummers i've seen live, i would have to say Carl Palmer.
My personal favorite is Ginger Baker. Bonzo & Peart (seen them live also) are very good drummers, but aren't as talented as Palmer or Baker. JMO

FWIW, since im new i tried to leave links of both drummers playing live but i was unable. You can see A LOT of drummers talked about here at ---.drummerworld.com

Danny Carey
Dave Grohl
Neil Peart
Joey

those are my favorite ( not the BEST but my favorite )

2 words...

KEITH MOON!

He WAS the best drummer in the world...For the band that was once called 'The Loudest Band on Earth' - The Who!

Ever seen Keith Moon in concert? (I have, with one of my re-mastered DVDs...And a few VCR tapes) Wow....Amazing.....AMAZING!!!!

You have said some pretty crazy things in your time Mr BackFire,

but that sh*t just takes the biscuit!

I voted Travis, just listen to the guy pounding away near the end of "Feeling This".

Please, my mum is a better drummer than him.

Tie.

Neil Peart can own on drums. His skill is unbelievable. However, he doesn't play like I like.

That brings me to a man who has awesome skill and plays like I like. ABSOLUTE BEST metal drummer ever, Dave Lombardo. He can combine speed with rhythm to totally own. He stand apart from losers like Joey Jordison, who are all speed and no diverse beat.

Peart and Lombardo own all.

That would be true if Danny Carey wasn't better than them both.

Actually, I take that back partially. Peart is probably more TECHNICALLY gifted than Carey. Carey is the greatest overall.

-AC

Ooo... Interesting old thread. While Joey is good, and Neil Peart is amazing (And the guy from Morbid Angel kicks ass, too) the absolute best drummer has NOT been named here yet.

Thomas Lang.

The guy is simply unbelievable. Where as Joey can be heavy and fast, Lang does it with style. Where Pete can keep a steady double bass pedal beat, Lang does that and adds uncanny timing. Where Neil Peart is methodical and unorthodox, Thomas simply blows even him out of the way.

But of course, it's a lot harder to prove to people with words. If you can ever get a look at it, Creative Control (his DVD how-to) is phenominal. He's also done solos for European tours, but he's not associated with any one band.

Anyways, if you're curiosity is perked, this is his website. The guy pwns. Hands down.
http://www.artport.at/sticktrix/tom.html

He's no way close to Bozzio, Peart, Carey, Coliuata, Bruford or Cobham.

-AC

Technically he makes Carey and Bruford look like jokes.

Was going by music created with those two.

-AC

Well then he is in some way close to them isn't he?

Weasel.

Well yes, in technical ability.

Ferret.

-AC

I believe the drummers from Slayer are the best of the Heavy Metal drummers but best rock drummer has to be John Bonham I had that Stairway to heaven VHS he did this part on a song I had to rewind it back like 5times to make sure it was not speed up.

So you ask who the best drummer is i will tell you that i would have to say a famous star, yes i do mean Ringo Star the drummer of the Beatles the greatest band that ever played.

I think Neal Peart of Rush is widely regarded as the best drummer ever.....though there could many that have already been discussed in the team photo.

Art Blakey

Keith Moon. Blatantly.

It's not blatant to...well, anyone who knows better drummers.

If we're talking technique, it's not Moon.

-AC

C'mon people!
It's f*cking BONZO!
John Bonham... listen to 'Bonzo's Montreux' off of the album 'Coda'... he plays a regular drum kit, a gong, tympanies and steel drums all at the same time... Or listen to 'Good Times, Bad Times' and then keep in mind that he only has ONE bass drum... HE HAS REFLEX ACTION ANKLES!

... or that crazy sixteen year old who played for Carlos Santana at Woodstock '69.. the drum solo in Soul Sacrifice is the best solo i've ever seen/heard

... and MAYBE the drummer for Arch Enemy

No, the drummer for Arch Enemy is not the best drummer ever. Erase that claim.

We're talking about best drummer ever, not "Who do you really like?"

We need to establish criteria. If it's preference then we're going to get nowhere. If it's technique then over 80% or more of these choices are irrelevant.

-AC

Dafnis Prierto would walk all over Travis barkers culo. Oh my Gawd Travis Barker what the f***!?!

Exactly.

Ask anyone with real knowledge and they won't. Why? Because there are technically better drummers. The only thing you can judge on is technique.

-AC

Thing is no one really cares who the best technical drummer is; because technicality does not simply mean 'great' as we all know. And as I am, as are most of you, in the dark about who the best actually is (think about all the hundreds of musicians out there) I really don't see this thread making too much sense unless it becomes the 'greatest drummer' in which i feel Keith Moon is.

Right, if you are judging that on personal preference, that's cool. I love Keith Moon's work.

Saying he's "blatantly" the best drummer ever on the basis that people know him is a bit silly.

Terry Bozzio, Vinnie Coliauta et al are genuine candidates for best ever, in many senses. However, I don't really see the point in discussing something like that. Which is why I think threads should be favourite, not best. Because people are always gonna just name their favs.

It's become part of my dialect.

Tiny, Todd Barnes, Dale Crover, Derek O'Brien, and Patty Schemel are some of the best drummers I've ever heard. Todd Barnes (RIP) in fact, still holds the reputation of being the best drummer in the old school punk scene.

travis barker all the way.....he's amazing.

in concert he could drum perfectly and they had the drumset on strings in the air and it was doing flips in stuff and he just kept on drumming.

This doesn't mean he's the best drummer ever. He could have a rocket platform on his riser and still never be as good as Dave Lombardo et al.

-AC

Thats like saying Tommy Lee is the best drummer ever because he flies!

in my opinion i think travis barker is the best drummer because iv seen all those other drummers and they are BAD ASS but i just think travis barker is the best

Fanboy...
The stupid thing about this thread is,that the question is "Who is the best drummer ever".The thread maker then gives you two options...which are both not the best drummer ever...

Most hard hitting-
Dave Grohl-Scream, Nirvana, Foo Fighters
Dale Crover-Melvins, Nirvana
Patty Schemel-Hole, Kill Sybil

Most technically profficient-
Dale Crover
Todd Barnes-TSOL, Tender Fury
Tiny-TSOL
Rikk Agnew-Social Distrortion, Adolescents, DI, Christian Death, ADZ

Either most people here don't know much music, or they don't know much about drummers.

I don't like any of those drummers...

-AC If he had a full hardcore drumset like Neil Pert or Nick mason or Danny Carey and show off his full skills on a bigger drumset that would allow that. Because him and that two tom one bass and a snare with a thousand cymbols just doesn't cut it for me

Nick Mason's drum kit is nothing compared to Danny Carey's or Neil Peart's. Then again he's nothing to them, technically.

-AC

also you don't need a massive drum kit like that to show you're a good drummer, id respect someone more who uses a smaller drum kit and still made quality music from it.

as for the clip, the most impressive bit for me is how he lifts the bucket off the floor to get a different sound from it.
