It was the fooking sh!t icon5

Mr. Bruce has a supernatural voice! 😱

Cant wait for it to come out 😱

...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.

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.

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.

Hahaha.

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

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

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.

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

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.
