Like so many on here I luv my music with a passion, very eclectic tastes that's me.. listening to Led Zeppelin earlier and got me thinking how drummers are on the whole very individual people, much like Ducati owners in many ways, not mainstream, even non conformists possibly.. Sadly too was thinking about just how many great drummers left us early.. Like, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Jon Lee, to name but a few.. So who are your favourite Drummers? Be it in your opinion, the best, or the Coolest.. I can see Animal featuring strongly here, obv voted for by complete muppets! IMO..the best for me would be Ginger Baker and the coolest, Wreny from the Stone Roses..
I've been told a hundred times by very knowledgeable people that my favourite drummer is awful - can't keep time, overly showy, etc. It's been explained to me that a dozen other drummers were "better" and I was informed exactly how and why. I don't care. The best drummer is the one that performs on the drums to my best liking. That would be Carl Palmer. Flame away!
niel pert one of the best ian paice one of the coolest at the time. john dolymayin v.talented dave grohl great to watch
Her from out of the White Stripes, Meg White, not saying she's the best but if this was a 'cool' list, she'd be there being very cool. I'll bet she'd be a good pillion as well.
According to Rolling Stone Magazine it was John Bonham followed by Keith Moon. John Bonham | 100 Greatest Drummers of All Time | Rolling Stone My choice of top drummers would be quite different, but each to his own. Mine would include Elvin Jones. Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa.
