Best rock drummer?

808@702 · 12-15-2011, 06:31 PM

Neil Peart of Rush.

Bimmer84 · 12-15-2011, 06:38 PM

Travis Barker is hands down one of the best.

Also, Brian Tichy is one of my favorites. Former drummer of Foreigner (my favorite band of all time) and prior Whitesnake drummer.

But this being said, my vote goes to Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment.

John Bonham, Keith Moon a close second. Neil peart is very skilled, I just don't enjoy the music as much.

zgood4u · 12-16-2011, 07:45 AM

John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Bill Bruford, Keith Moon, Simon Phillips, Tommy Aldridge, Al Jackson Jr, Charlie Watts (highly underrated), David Garibaldi. My partial list

You Sir, have cred in my book. Good call.

How mainstream does someone have to be to make this list? There's a ton of latin/jazz guys out there that would wreck most rock drummers.

Come on, Rick Allen? he's only got one arm!

Max Roach, Philly Joe Jones, Art Blakey, or Kenny Clarke would be a pretty good place to start.

Yes I agree about latin percussion. Me and my GF saw the Gypsy Kings in Vegas. Pretty amazing.

I have to agree with Portnoy. Would only add Jason Bonham to the list. Great drummer and a class guy.

Danny Carey - this name definitely merits a mention here.
Stewart Copeland as well.

Dave Lombardo from Slayer

007MCoupe · 12-23-2011, 02:41 PM

Chad Sexton is definitely one of my faves!! Applied Science from their 97 live album is one of my favorite solos by ANY drummer

Carter Beauford from Dave Matthews deserves a mention too. Doesn't do so many crazy solos but he does some things that shouldn't be allowed. lol

#1 favorite solo of all time though...

My dad had me listen to this as a child and I fell in love with music that day. not even kidding

007MCoupe · 12-23-2011, 02:44 PM

But seriously...lol

Most famous drum solo of all time? haha

GregTheStig · 12-23-2011, 07:31 PM

I gotta mention John Bonham. He was one of the best without a doubt.

SixBanger · 12-24-2011, 08:38 AM

Ray Luzier and david silveria
