who does every 1 think is the best drummer in the world is??? slipknot is aparently the fastest and buddy rich is classed as the best but so is joey jordisson

drummy mcdrum is the best

Whos that??

Joey Jordison? Isn't the fastest or the best.

I'd say Terry Bozzio.

Dave Grohl

Jordan Burns...

Jordan Burns

And that has to show for something. Coming 2nd to one of the most popular bands is quite impressive. He's not just one of the best drummers. he's also a really nice guy to talk to in real life and on his forums.

Dave Grohl without a question. That guy is mega-talented.

I personally like John Bonham, Danny Carey and Jimmy Chamberlain the best.

Maybe Elvin Jones...he played with John Coltrane.

I would say that indian god with eight arms. I bet he could play a mean drum solo.

Dude from the who had the fastest beat, but i say the dude from tool. Danny somthin.

hey has there already been a thread on this already.

yer i no he might have come 2nd in a punk best drummer magazine but i no theres good punk drummers but there not ever as good as death metal/hardcore drummers so he wouldnt b the best in the world

And Joey Jordison got an award for the fastest drummer. any 1 herd of buddy rich??

An award from who? He isn't even nearly the fastest.

tommy lee!!!!!!!!!!hah

Actually, I've changed my mind, Dan Jones from the punk band Seraphs Coal is the best drummer I've seen (and I've seen Joey Jordison) because he drums, sings/screams all at the same time and he is damn fast.

I liek oey jordison he is ****ing amazing...but then again the frummer from Trivium is pretty good too

to give an honest answer...dave grohl...for those of you who don't know who he is, shame on you

ZOMG LYKE TRAViS BaRkErRrRr is tEh BEsT evAr LOL!!!

Neil Peart? Although in my musically ignorant mind I'm sure there's obscure jazz drummers around who could easily wipe the floor with any rock drummer.

Stu, ex drummer from Burning Skies.... check him the **** out!

TRE COOL all the way Green Day are the best band ever

umm no

danny carey has all of the drummers that you have listed beat...greatest drummer of all time

Originally posted by HJ4CW

No f*ckin way

Do they have to still be alive?


Anyways, John Bonham is easily the best drummer ever.

What makes you say that? (Just to keep this from becoming a list of names)

Just listen to songs like Dazed & Confused, When the Levee Breaks & Achilles last stand.

I think it would be extremely difficult to name a drummer who shows as much skill as Bonham.

You're basing it on technical ability then?

I could name gazillions.

Originally posted by Ladyluck

I think you misunderstood me. I actually think Dave Grohl is one of the most overrated musicians ever. He's good, but he's nowhere near the best ever. Read my earlier post.

heh...ok...lol

TRE COOL all the way!

Ugh, not even close.

I'd have to say Danny Carey. There was someone else I was going to put too but their name escapes me at the moment.

Indeed So could I.

But for me, Bonham stands out more than any i have seen.

Terry Bozzio, Danny Carey, Dave Lombardo, Buddy Rich, Billy Cobham.

All have more technical skill than Bonham.

From that though, I infer that you aren't referring to technical ability, so just wondered what you feel makes him the best.

Neil Peart.

I have the drum solo that proved it to me, joey jordison overal hands and feet is one of the fastest in the drumming world. Buddy Rich is awesome, and why hasn't Mike Portnoy been mentioned, he's a beast. If anyone's been to the subliminal verses tour you'd know what im talking about. I dont think joey gets enough credit, or for those that do like him, they dont know why hes good, if you listen closely, he is so fluent and mixes it up so well, he doesnt do the common double bass beat all the time. He is so quick in using everything he has on his huge 20 piece set. And pretty much he uses double bass all the time, sometimes its quiet in the songs but its there, for me i think he is easily the best double bass drummer. Well those 3 guys Neil Pert and the guy from the who, are pretty much the greats.

Joey Jordison is just really fast. He's not and never will be the best drummer ever.

Don't actually understand why you aren't understanding this.

-AC

joey jordison he is a great drumer, he has great skill in the speed he drums.

Joey is the man. I went to the subliminal verses tour and he was friggen amazing on the huger spinny drum solo.....CrAzY!

Neal Peart - Rush.

its adam carson, geniuses =P...from u guessed it, <----

Peart, he's definietely a technical drummer. I suppose being trained as a classic percussionist would do it.
Bonham, he knew how to play a rock beat for that truly awesome Zeppelin sound.
Buddy Rich for sure!

I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say that no one else has mentioned Billy Cobham yet. If you're talking time changes, look no further than a jazz drummer; they all make Tool's drummer look like Meg White (though in rock, The Apex Theory's drummer is the best with tempo changes).

Rock drummer: Moon
Overall drummer: Billy Cobham

Do yourself a favor and listen to Quadrant 4 or Spectrum.

Also: Max Roach. Love this guy, especially his work on "Birth of The Cool"

Possibly the most ridiculous comment made.

But to each their own (despite it being not actually true).

Whether you find him impressive, like him, hate him, or all of those, no drummer on Earth can make Danny Carey look bad. At all.

The only reasons some of us never mentioned Cobham is probably because it's down to overall, I would guess.

I believe Cobham is of course one of the very greatest drummers of all time, with regards to his techncal ability. I believe that title goes to Terry Bozzio. I tend to vote overall on what they write, not what they can play.

-AC

I would also like to point out that there is nothing wrong with Megs, your just saying that because she is a girl.

then listen to Spectrum, he wrote that. IT is one of hte most underrated jazz albums of all time.

Saying that Danny Carey's plodding time changes are equal to the fluid style of Billy Cobham is laughable. Cobham did prog rock better than anyone (Mahavishnu Orchestra) he played with Miles Davis (one of hte most taxing things, trying ot keep up with Davis with any instrument) . He played with Sonny Rollins, The Brothers Johnson...the man has played many, many different types of music, and has never failed to impress. More than impress, he has played some of the most difficult music with ease, in a way that any other drummer wishes he could.

I still have not found a fusion or prog rock drummer able to do the things that he did, in two of the most demanding styles of play for a drummer.

As for the MEg White thing, she can't play. It has nothing to do with being a girl, it has to do with being bad.

Well besides the fact that Danny Carey has over 35 years of hardened experience in every kind of drum technique there is, mastered more or less, I think you're underrating him.

None of what you've said proves anything. Playing with loads of different people doesn't make you great. Josh Freese does that, but he's not (in my opinion) in the running for best of all time. Cobham is because of his ability, without a shadow of doubt, I'm never going to dispute that. But it seems to me like you're leaning more on antiquity than ability and talent. Danny Carey doesn't play "plodding" time changes. Anyone who has actually listened to some of his more complicated Tool work would know that. If you can listen to his fibonacci drum/time sequence on Lateralus and call it plodding, or claim that anyone else could create (or even play) that music, then THAT is laughable.

There's a difference between being shit and not being an amazing drummer.

She can play drums to the ability she needs to.

I know countless drummers with all the technical ability in the world, but when you can't make stuff that fits the music, what use are you? She can.

-AC

And you're assuming I haven't, because?
Because if you had actually listened, you would have seen the tempo changes that cobham goes through. These are things that almost any other drummer cannot do - and Cobham does it with ease. He literally does things that no other drummer CAN do on this album and havent' done since.

Well besides the fact that Danny Carey has over 35 years of hardened experience in every kind of drum technique there is, mastered more or less, I think you're underrating him.

Billy Cobham not only mastered the styles that are most technically difficult with the drummer, but played with the best in his field. (Jazz, Miles Davis, he went on to Mahavishnu Orchestra, arguably the best prog rock band of all time, and finished his career with fusion-jazz)


Playing with loads of different people doesn't make you great. Josh Freese does that, but he's not (in my opinion) in the running for best of all time.

Playing with A Perfect Circle is a little different than beign good enough to not only play with Miles Davis, but to excel while playing next to him - on classic recordings such as Live-Evil and Bitches Brew, no less. And to help lead Mahavishnu Orchestra - remember, he left with McLaughlin to form the band- after such accomplished jazz work is amazing. This is without even going into his solo work.

But it seems to me like you're leaning more on antiquity than ability and talent.
Antiquity? He's still recording great fusion albums today! And why shoudl it matter if it happened 30 years ago or today. Ability and talent? Cobham has more than nearly anyone else - he is one fo the few to be on the same level as Buddy Rich, Mingus, etc. in the eyes of the musical community.

As for the fibonacci series, duke ellington was using that in his music ages ago - by instinct. And to say that Billy Cobham didn't know of this would be a bit of a stretch in such a tight knit community as the jazz community.

Martin Lopez of Opeth is really good too...
Maybe not Danny Carey good, but worth mentioning.

And it should be said, No good rock drummer cannot play jazz. There are so many jazz influences styles and such, that it would be foolish to think otherwise.

Well, no. You're wrong. Me having heard it doesn't mean that I will automatically have the exact same view as you do. You thinking that he has done things no other drummer can do or hasn't done, doesn't mean it's actually true. No drummer has duplicated what he has played because why would they? There are drummers who have done as or more so outstanding things than he did on that album. Might not be a wealth of them, but they exist.

I'm aware of that. What's your point? The man is a genius drummer. I've never disputed this. Only the fact that the NUMBER of people with which he played, has no bearing. It's what he played that made the difference, and I'm not arguing that it's amazing or that he's definately one of the best of all time. He's just not the best in my opinion, overall. Technically he may very well be, but then there's Terry Bozzio. Who I have actually seen live. He played with Fantomas, who Dave Lombardo drums for. Dave Lombardo claimed that it took him hours to learn just little pieces of that music. Terry Bozzio was reading it off a sheet and playing it flawlessly for the first time, as the gig was going on.

I know he is, but from your past musical post it seems you value older musical artists than newer ones. Nothing wrong with that at all and I could be wrong. Just going by what I see. It seems you include antiquity into your voting. That's your choice though.

Right. So not only are you assuming that but as a result, that means that Billy Cobham could also play and create it?

-AC

i'm going to have to go with Danny Carey, but Neil Pert is tied with him...because in Neils case he has everything there is in a drummer, he can do it all...i saw his solo once, and it blew me away...but then again so does danny carey, with his chops on Ticks and Leeches. So i could not choose between the two...

I'd say Joey Jordison.

Why do people keep saying Joey Jordison?

He's not the best in the world. Factual. Not even in the running.

matter of opinion dude

No, no it's not.

It's provable. He isn't technically in the running for best in the world. He's not that good.

Hmmm, lets see, yes it is. So what your trying to say is, whoever is the best drummer in the world, everyone should like that certain drummer, somehow i don't think so, and i don't know if the thread is asking who's the best in thier opinion or the best factually, if its not the best in our opinion, then it's a pretty pointless thread.

Joey Jordison does not create music good enough to be called the best, nor does he have the ability to be called the best.

Fact.

I would disagree. I think his awards for drumming disprove what you have said and the fact that he has been head hunted and asked to drum in a few bands shows that he does have the ability.Listening to his drumming is amazing. When he played a drum solo to a crowd of thousands at numerous concerts and they all went wild i think it showed what a superbly talented man he is

Joey Jordison always has, and always will be the greatest drummer ever

You just made that up didn't you. Let's be honest.

I don`t know who the BEST is, but my favorite is Matt Sorum. I`m not an expert in drumming, so I wouldn`t know

It's a matter of preference and opinion but Max Weinberg is pretty good. The best drummer in the world is probably someone from a really crappy band who have a tiny fanbase and no publicity.

there u go least someone mentioned him ...hes my fav and hes got loads of technical abilty

and send me a message with the song name that makes u choose whoever u choose as the best drummer

Listen to Ticks and Leeches (Danny Carey); or La Villa Strangiato (Neil Peart).

Karn Evil 9: First Impression Pt. 2 / Second Impression / Third Impression by ELP (Carl Palmer)- not that good of a song but possibly the most ridiculously crazy drum solo I've ever heard.

Or go here and check out the videos of Terry Bozzio on his spacestation drumkit. The greatest drummer ever in my opinion.

The best drumming song I can think of is Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin.

alright people its time to get down to the core and push all our "favorite" drummers to the side. For those of you who encouraged the nomination of true great drummers, instead of picking a personal favorite, i applaud you! Joey Jordison? No, not at all, fast maybe, but in no regards a great drummer...so everyoone please quit throwing his bullsh!t name on the thread, its a pain to my eyes. So, were lookin for the TRUE GREATEST DRUMMER IN THE WORLD..........OF COURSE, UNDOUBTABLE, INARGUABLY, ALEX VAN HALEN!!! Take a second to let in sink in, especially to all you Jordison frieks... and realize the raw skill alex posseses! Truly remarkable, seems almost as if he is endowed by God. Once again, Jordison does not hold the title as worlds fastest drummer, as a matter of fact, Alex does, he took it over from Buddy Rich a while back. Little trivia for ya. Anways so there ya have it, is alex my favorite? No, but he is one of my favorites and even though he isnt, I still respect him enough to realize and claim his as best, since he is. Dont believe me? listen to his music, watch his videos, and see for yourself.... Rock on ...

Joey Jordison

God Damn, Someone listen to the last three Minuites of Deliverance...
I mean Danny Carey is insane, but 5/4 and 4/4 at the same time?

TRAVIS BARKER!!!

no.

Mitch Mitchell, John Bonham, Dave Grohl, Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa

Just listen to Spectrum by Billy Cobham, or any of his work with Mahavishnu Orchestra

It's always really gonna come down to preference in this thread, but actual best to me, in terms of ability:

Terry Bozzio, Danny Carey, Carl Palmer, Billy Cobham, Vinnie Colaiuta.

-AC

I think jazz drummers are the most skillfull and have the best technique.

To add to the above list, I forgot Bill Bruford.

Terry Bozzio has amazing technique. He hardly moves his arms. It's all in the elbow down. Incredible, especially considering how hard he hits.

It's actually wrist down.

Most drummers drum elbow down, you coffee-sipping simpleton. No-one uses an entire straight arm you MUG.

Of course, Dino of Dredg fame used his whole arms like some nutter.

That's what I meant, wrist. Not elbow. Saturday Night Wrist. Although of course you'll try to claim I didn't mean that.

He's a very good drummer, nowhere near the best though.

if we're talking multiple drummers, you gotta talk butthole surfers

even though they kinda sucked, but still. have to mention them

AC i like joey jordisson but not that way..hes a great drummer..one of the best..if hes not then who do u think is??

It doesn't matter who I think is, does it? If I name a drummer that you don't agree with, it doesn't change the fact that Joey Jordison is nowhere near one of the best drummers in the world.

well y do u think hes not??..hes been given that name

He's not, because there are better drummers. It's not that hard to figure out.

Mick Fleetwood (Fleetwood Mac)
Roger Taylor (Queen)
Bob Henrit (The Kinks)
Mick Avory (The Kinks)
Mark Brzezicki (Big Country)
Nick Manson (Pink Floyd)

This thread is hilarious! I love when people try to rate who is the best 'whatever' and they only listen to complete crap for music.

Ratings in magazines etc. don't mean $hit either! You have to listen to ALL types of music to decide for yourself (including the crap). But you can't let your personal opinion of the genre of music interfere too much (although it will to a certain degree). In any case, off the top of my head have a look at these drummers in no specific order:

*Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band)
*Phil Collins (Genesis Days)
*Dennis Chambers (Parliament, Funkadelic, Scofield Band)
*Neil Peart (Rush)

These guys kick the crap out of the above listed in this thread not too mention others like (haha) Dave Ghrol... lmao. Give me a break.... Whoever here has named this guy has a music collection that starts in about 1992.

I mean common... Nick Mason (BTW, its Mason not Manson). I love this drummer and the band. Especially pre Dark-Side days. But he is in no way close to the same realm as the guys I've mentioned above on a technical scale.

HOWEVER, Geddy Lee of Rush may be one of the best technical vocalists out there, but personally he makes me cringe! Whereas Neil Young can barely hold a note, but his shakiness and heartfelt vocals are felt through and through and loved by many.

So, it's not always as easy as who is better. Who is faster maybe, who is technically more competent maybe. But who is better is not a fair question. However, in any competition I think the above mentioned drummer would fair ok!

Drum ya later! Floor_pie out!

Drum ya later! Floor_pie out! i do indeed agree with most of that list, besides Phil Collins...i guess i was never really impressed with his playing. And any kind of Funk drummer is okay by me, and yes Niel Pert is a great influence on every drummer, also The drummer from Dave Matthews Band has always been a favorite of mine, with his crazy combinations of snare and high-hat....yet there is one you forgot, danny carey. In my opinion, he is a very great drummer. Better than Collins (oh man...i'm gonna git shit for that). i just hate Phil Collins after Genesis..
