[Closed] Well, to complete the set - Drummers!

Me.

Oh, and some other guys - Bonham, Rich, Gurtu and that, like... 😉

John Henry Bonham

Bonham.
Colaiuta.
Gadd.
Hakim.
Rich.

Since you've already mentioned the legend that is Mr Neil Peart I'm now stuggling to think of some other faves

err...

Buddy Rich
Stewart Copeland

I know he's not the best, but I still remember being gobsmacked when I saw a certain drummer and his revolving drum kit at Wembley in '87

(not wembley, but same solo)

mike bordin

Janet Weiss - Sleater Kinney
Stephen Perkins - Jane's Addiction
Mitch Mitchell - Hendrix

i tried to find some video evidence, but youtube is being unco-operative at the moment so i'm just going to have to name names instead:

dave witte (municipal waste, burnt by the sun, etc etc etc)
ben koller (converge)
mike paradise (threadbare, 108)
dave wagenschutz (lifetime, paint it black, kid dynamite)
alex van halen (van halen, surprisingly!)

All time favourite: Billy Cobham...

First among equals. Seriously.

A legend!

Yeah! Another vote for Animal 8)

My fave drummer is Joey castillo - qotsa/eagles of death metal/Danzig.

Mitch Mitchell.
Gilson Lavis.

Andy Burrows. Had the pleasure of gigging and drinking with him. All round top bloke.
Keith Moon.

Keith Moon, yeah - right.

Cinnamon Girl:
I inadvertantly left out Gilson Lavis. (shame on me)

Neil Peart, he's a real percussionist as opposed to merely a drummer though 🙂

me1onhead - good to know that someone else has heard of him 🙂

I'll see your Neil Peart and raise you Carl Palmer

Also Phil Collins

Phil Collins may be a cockweasel, but he's not a bad skinbasher to be fair.

Carl Palmer? Blimey, I've seen him a few times 🙄

Chris Sharrock

I can't believe no one has mention Mike Portnoy yet

and I always love Tommy Lees lazy snare hit

Buddy Rich.
Ginger Baker.
That Guy With One Arm out of Aerosmith. (come on, ONE ARM!)

Phil Collins may be a cockweasel, but he's not a bad skinbasher to be fair.

YEp.

When Johnny Lydon was criticised for using an ol hippy like Ginger Baker on "PIL - Product", he said: "He hits the drums very hard and does exactly what he's told"... 8)

Meg White

Dave lombardo slayer

Nick Mason

Best drummer that I personally have seen has to be Elvin Jones. Man, he could play.

[i]That Guy With One Arm out of Aerosmith[/i]

would that be That Guy With One Arm out of Def Leppard?

anyway.

My votes:
Robert Heaton
Rat Scabies
Stewart Copeland
Gavin Harrison
me (only joking. I couldn't hold a candle to any that have been mentioned on here)

Jimmy Chamberlain

Bun E Carlos

Travis Barker

Jet Black

Lombardo +1

Puffy Bordin+1

Dave Lombardo.

Stuart Copeland

Travis Barker is severely underrated.

Taylor Hawkins is also very good but under-appreciated. Just listen to My Hero by the Foos

D.H. Peligro
Travis Barker
Taylor Hawkins
Dave Grohl
Boris Williams

CG - of course we've heard of Gilson Lavis - Jools Holland's Rhythm And Blues Orchestra most recently, n'est-ce pas?

Do we also gather that you are a bit of a ZZ Top fan then, CFH? Fair play! Should go to see The Hamsters when they're doing that particular set then, unless you can organise seeing the real thing (come to think of it, 'course you can!)

the end.

forlorn hope - Member

mike bordin

I first read that as Mike Harding!

For me, it'd be Buddy Rich.

Definitely John Bonham

& [url=

from the Stone Roses. Ace

Dennis Chambers
Butch Trucks
Adam Deitch
Richie Hayward
Keith Carlock
Jeff Sipe
Steve Gadd
Yonrico Scott

Neil Peart. Even his drum kit went on tour round the states after the band had toured !!!!

Phil Collins may be a cockweasel, but he's not a bad skinbasher to be fair.

Topper Headon

Listen to the peal of thunder that is Topper on this:

And these 2 arent too shoddy either:

phil collins
boom-tish

bill stephenson
er, me

Ok, as an actual drummer, it'd be rude not to chip in with my list.

#1 influence on me is Mr Roger Taylor (Queen)
Then, in no particular order
Taylor Hawkins - Foos
Steve White - Paul Weller to name a few
Zak Starkey - Recent Who and Oasis stuff, AWESOME stage presence.

I would add You Toob references for the above, but i'm too drunk, and I'm busy downloading yur suggestions !

Ok, ok ok,
Evidence for my #1

And I left out Cozy Powell !

Cozy Powell
Keith Moon
Zak Starkey
Neil Peart
Nicko McBrain
Lars Ulrich
Jon Bonham
Phil Collins

[url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomas_Haake ]Tomas Haake[/url], out of Meshuggah; manages to maintain the weirdest, most 'off-time' drumming for hours on end. Try 'New Millenium Cyanide Christ' for a taster... 😈

Also [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bostaph ]Paul Bostaph[/url]; amazing precision & seriously fast.

Nicko McBrain [url=

Roger Taylor
Cozy Powell

Can't believe no-one's mentioned [url=

Saw The Dead Weather last night. JACK WHITE is just as talented on drums as he is with everything else musical.

Pretty much every drummer that has ever played with Zappa - Jimmy Carl Black, Chad Wackerman, Terry Bozzio, etc...

I used to be pretty ****in' ace too. Not played for years though 🙁

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Tony Williams yet...
