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.
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.

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
