Greatest Drummer Ever?

I love how good Pantera's drummer is at the double foot pedal thing (sorry, I don't know his name or what to call those foot pedals)

Hence why I said if it's fast drummers you want, check out Nile's.

Neil Pert From Rush (I heard the drum solo song and was just blew away by that)

AND

Keith Moon From The Who (Just a kick-ass drummer)

travis barker is an great drummer!

Paul Doucette of matchbox twenty fame is a great and under rated drummer. he is great live!

the fastest double bass i have ever heard is the drummer from iniquity. dude he's insanely fast. and dave lombardo from slayer is really good. i hate slayer but i do like his drumming

Elvin Jones
Tony Williams

Right now I think Dave Weckl is unbelieveable, maybe the best...If you've never heard him go to your music server and listen to a few of his tunes..Dave Weckl band etc...

i wish i could play drums..... or i could get to feel them once

but n e wayz the drummer for TOOl is awesome

I still say Billy Cobham is the best drummer overall

and that Keith Moon is the best rock drummer.

Frank Beard is one of the best IMO

His fills are pure genius

Im not going to say that hes the best - i dont even really like his band- but I like how the drummer from Godsmack uses the cymbals. It seems to have a lot more levels to the beat than a lot of other stuff i hear. but then again this is a non-drummer who posted this. I've got a buddy who talks about the drummer from Dave Mathews alot, i think hes alright, just havent heard anyone else say anything on him (well i dont know his name so maybe you have...)...

Frank Beard is good, hell ZZ Top is vastly underrated, but he's by no means the greatest drummer of all time...he doesn't do anything too complicated.

Complicated doesnt equal good

Fast doesnt equal good either

so a simple slow drummer is somehow better than the intrictate drumwork of billy cobham? I don't see how.

Best Drummer..........ME! No not really. I dont know many but I'd probably say, agreeing with rages remorse, danny carey or keith moon. Hey all, im new. ridicule me all you want!

yes, a slow creative drummer who's playing is inspired and sets a groove that makes you wanna dance is better then a drummer who is faster then sound and pulls of all kinds of complicated fills and beats

Dont know Billy Cobham's drumming, so he might be inspired and creative, but the argument "hes the best drummer cause hes fast as f*** and plays very complicated fills and beats" means zilch in my book.

cobham may be one of the fastest drummers, but it is ALL creative (he is, afterall a jazz drummer). You have to be fast to be a jazz drummer because it is constant improvisation--try keeping up with a sax player or trumpet player who is going off on a solo; it's not easy.

Get some Cobham, especially "Spectrum"

he's right that just because you're the best doesn't exactly mean you have to be fast. Take Jaco Pastorius. He wasn't a very fast bassist, but he was the best. But still, when it comes to drummers, the terms are kind of different. You kind of do have to be fast.

Keith Moon is the greatest

moon is the best ROCK drummer, but Cobham slays him
