GoneShootin

for that unbeatable GROOVENESS, its Phil Rudd

for a human drum machine, pick Chrise Slade. i duno how he moves those hands so fast !

Karl Hungus

Maybe I should just write a list for every time one of the threads come up?

Jan Axel Von Blomberg.
Best drummer, living or dead.

francie brady

Buddy rich

metalish

Dave Ghrol when he was with Nirvana and Lars Ulrich-

mike65

Keith Moon...proberly...

Mike.

Brautigan

Nick Mason, especially during the seventies and in particular his drumming on the Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii video.

Failing that, Ride's Loz Colbert was good. Kyuss's Brant Bjork was awesome, The Cult's Mark Brzezicki was savage in his day (before he died anyway) and Lars Ulrich couldn't drum his way out of a paper bag. The c unt should be hung up...

You don't really know alot about drumming do you?
Lars Ulrich was a great drummer, he can't hack it anymore though.
Dave Abruzzesse
Buddy Rich
Phil Collins
All great drummers... IMO

Not forgetting Adrian Belew

stable music

Not forgetting the great Bill Ward of Black Sabbath.

The man hit them like a caveman. Plus he lived through a couple of heart attacks, cocaine addiction, alcohol (well, brandy) addiction, living rough on the streets for a couple of years, ozzy's tempers, growing his fingernails, depression, schizophrenia and more and yet he still managed to make a comeback with the Sabbath when they reformed last year, or the year before, whenever it was. It's only a pity they're not doing Ozzfest this year...

Bill, we salute you!

Topper Headon.
There can only be one. The term "human drum machine" was invented for the great man.
And while we're at it, Reni of the Stone Roses was under-rated, a supremely talented musician who played drums frm a very young age ni his parents' pub. And John Squire was indeed the Roses' guitarist, and one of the best of his generation. Whoever said he was a drummer needs to educate themselves.

I never heard of Adrian Belew been a drummer. He's a guitarist in my books

I'm shocked to discover most of you jackasses don't have a fcuking clue when it comes to their favorite bands. Dickheads the lot of you.

Brautigan

Take it wasy Francie... we don't want you killing anyone and hiding their heads in the turnips now...

beaver

Gah, you're right, of course. I can't remember who it is I'm thinking of... will post if I do though.

francie brady

Are you thinking of Ansley Dunbar. He pulled drums with Zappa and Bowie. And he is indeed a excellent drummer, Zappa wouldn't have anything else.

NeRb666

Trym, Hellhammer, Fenriz, Gene Holgan, Dave Lombardo, Adrian Erlansson, Nick Barker, Pete Sandoval...

Okie

John Bonham surely wins this argument. Proof needed? Check out "Bonzo's Montreaux" or "Moby Dick" Both classics. John Bonham?...best drummer ever?...I'd kinda like to think so!!

Ruaidhri

Flo Mounier
he is a GOD on the drums(from cryptopsy)
there is not better
and human drum machine is the drummer from Nile.

Brautigan

This may sound utterly out of place seeing as how music has, er, moved on in the last few decades but (cough!) Status Quo's original drummer John Coughlan was a damn good hit-man. That is before The Quo turned into a mindless parody of themselves - After the Quo Live (at the Apollo, Glasgow) 77 album I recall, around the time they decided to record "Rockin All Over The World"...

Slayer's Dave Lombardo gets my vote now that I'm feeling guilty for recalling the pre-77 halcyon days of the Coughlan/Lancaster/Parfitt/Rossi Quo.

trent_derby

It has to b jimmy chamberlin of the pumkins, technical and fast. maybe slayers drummer but who knows?????


how long is a piece of string????

alb

The guy from the Jimi Hendrix Experience was brilliant. himself and complmented each other perfectly, dunno the guys name though

Mitch Mitchell. Yeah he was deadly.

Ah, but you're missing out Richard Christy.
His work with Iced Earth??? Classic.

And what about Pete Hammoura?

Edit: And HORGH!!!

FreaK_BrutheR

In percussion terms I'd have to go with Airto (Brazilian Jazz Guru type character).

Ruaidhri

of course we are forgetting Danny Carey!

binman

Igor Cavalera.
He MAKES sepulturas songs listenable.

superconor

i always thought that John Bonhom was the best drummer, but not anymore.

Bill Ward of Black Sabbath and Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden.
Bill Ward was a blues drummer playing with a metal band. if you want crazy beats and mental patterns he is your man. Nicko is the man for speed, lightning fills and breakneck rhythm.

ferdi

Travis Barker is pretty danm good

Squall

Hard to pin it down to just one

Heres a few ide rate worthy

Vinnie Colaiuta (Zappa, and many others)
Steve Gadd (Session drummer, hes on over 600 albums from Clapton to Sinatra)
Terry Bozzio (Zappa and Others)
Jeff Pocaro (Toto)
Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band)
Buddy Rich (Probably the top of list really, the man was amazing)

Doctor J

Apart from the obvious jazz and session luminaries who rarely get the recognition they deserve, I would urge you all to listen to the drumming of a guy called

Sean Reinert

particularily his work on the CYNIC album, Focus. Have a look on Kazaa for any of the following songs -


Veil Of Maya
Celestial Voyage
The Eagle Nature
Sentiment
I'm But A Wave To...
Uroboric Forms
Textures
How Could I

Now this guy can play drums!

trent_derby

I also forgot the late great buddy rich, the man was a legend.
And although i dont really like their music oscar harrison from ocean colour scene is a beast!, and for technicality i would go with radioheads and the drummer from the police, steve copeland i think.

Töpher

Sean Reinert
Danny Carey
Mike Portnoy
Jimmy Chamberlain
Buddy Rich

Fin.

niallith

yup dave lombardo gets my vote hes amazing on drums

Quatre Mains

- I'm not a drummer but he're a few I like(apart from the obvious candidates). I know there are more technical players like Castronovo and Bozzio but arse to that;

- Dave Lombardo; I listen to v little metal but great drummer, the drum sound on the song Seasons in the Abyss is perfect metal.

- Eric Singer; yes he was in Kiss, I know but I never heard any
of that crap. his drumming on devil's Stomp by Badlands is
amazing.

- I always thought the 1st drummer in Therapy had an original sound, I forget his name.

Neil

alb

Actually I change mine to Jim white, amazing drummer, I've seen him play with three different acts and he was stand out each time.

empirix

Lombardo or Ulrich

And for the person who thinks Ulrich can't hack it anymore: are you mad
Maybe his not as fast but hey we all get old, his put together some complicated beats that a lot of the mentioned above would struggle to get to grips with. Give him respect where its due

niallith

LOL ulrich is nowhere near the best he is good drummer but nothin special but fair play to him for stil goin strong like at age of 40 r watever he is now he is gettin a bit sluggish now tho

trent_derby

If you ever want to hear quite possibly the best drumming ever created you should try to look up an old album or mp3 file called buddy rich/gene krupa the drum battle, its class!!!

superfly

Duracell Bunny

colincarnate

Charlie Benante

cournioni

Jan Axel Von Blomberg aka. Hellhammer (Mayhem), Pete Sandoval (Morbid Angel) or Vitek (Decapitated).


Hellhammer

Vitek

Pete Sandoval

Doctor J

Trust me - check out Sean Reinert, he played on Death's Human album.

When I saw them play in McGonagles on the Human tour, he came out and warmed up for a few minutes before Death's set.

It was the most impressive thing I've ever seen. Ever.

I got one of his sticks after the gig. Then, on my way home, was accosted by a gang of scumbags looking to steal my jacket. My first thought was of Sean Reinert's stick, sitting in my jacket pocket.

alexbrowne40

Jimmy Chamberlin

Töpher

Funny, I completely overlookd HellHammer, he is one hell of a beast! My eyes have only recently been opened to Sean Reinert (:rolleyes:) but I can safely say.... "hummanna hummana schlurp boing"

-ADREN-

Jimmy Chamberlin
