Greatest Drummer Ever?

danny carey
john boham
terry williams
and
mike portnoy
dave lombardo

this last two i don´t know very well, but what i´ve heard, was awsome.

doom did you know that in one ozzfest danny carey and lobardo played the drums together, WOW, do you imagine.

Dave Grohl is pretty much the best drummer iv seen.

Roger Taylor and Eric Delaney

well, my favorite drummers are tre cool-green day, and chad smith-red hot chili peppers. but as far as best goes, i dunno. ive heard some drum solos performed by tre cool-green day and they're crazy. he rocks!!! and then the drummer from queen rocks to. one of his most memorable drum breaks is in fat bottomed girls at approximately 2:16. its crazy! if u have that song on cd, i recommend listening to that part. when your not listening for it, it just passes by and u dont notice but when your listening for it, its fabolous!! but all in all, im gonna have to say that i am still the greatest drummer to ever walk the earth

this thread just keeps getting worse and worse

Danny Carey
the drummer from Slipknot
a lot of metal drummers are good

Being a drummer, I think you guys are looking to too many recent drummers. You gotta look at the classics and legends.

Heres my list (in no particular order):
Neil Peart
Buddy Rich
Dave Weckl
Max Roach
John Bonham
Dave Lombardo
Mike Portnoy
Virgil Donati (one of the only drummers in the world who can do a double-stroke roll on a double bass pedal)
Bernard Purdie
Danny Chambers
Tony Royster JR.
Carter Beauford
Billy Cobham
Tito Puentes (Latin legend)
Alex Acuna
Horatio Hernandez
Giovanni Hidalgo (greatest conguero ever)
Steve Gadd

...and the list goes on (im too tired to finish it)

erm...Keith Moon anyone?

he wouldve been on there, but if you would read it it say "and the list goes on (im too tired to finish it)"

yeah, but i had to add him. i'd put Moon as the #1 rock drummer, as i've said before

^^^^ This guy knows. You have to add Elvin Jones to that list as well.

Todd Barnes of TSOL
Patty Schemel formely of Hole
Tiny, currently with TSOL
Casey Royer of the Adolescents and DI
Dale Crover of the Melvins

Quest Love from The Roots. If you've seen them live, you know. 😉

There is no "greatest drummer ever." That being said, the guy who always blows me away is Billy Cobham.

That guy doesn't "know" anything.

A list that long and no Terry Bozzio? Get real.

Take Jaco Pastorius. He wasn't a very fast bassist, but he was the best.

Arguable.

Keith Moon is the greatest

Also arguable.

Billy Cobham is the man.

Billy Cobham could play circles around Keith Moon with one hand tied behind his back.

Neil Peart
John Bonham
Phil Collins

Ringo Star 🙂

Travis Barker is good
