Astrojanitor Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 the drummer on the first 2 or 3 Parts & Labor albums was an absolute monster. Probably the best I have ever seen play. Of course I don't remember his name at all or feel like looking it up. Keith Moon needs to be on the list Paul Quattrone from Modey Lemon Steve Shelly from Sonic Youth Kid Millions from Oneida Dave Lombardo from Slayer/Fantomas If anyone is interested in drummers I'd suggest checking out the more recent Boredoms records. Their new stuff is 3 drummers and various noise. Sounds like it would be obnoxious, but it really isn't. Kind of hypnotic and beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike In Illinois Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 My vote's for Bonzo Bonham as well. I read in a book about Led Zeppelin that Karen Carpenter actually beat out Bonham in an annual poll for Best Drummer. Interesting..... I'd also nominate Stuart Copeland (Police).

LongLiveRalph Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Jimmy Chamberlain of Smashing Pumpkins, particularly on 1993's Siamese Dream The drumming is unreal on that album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wooderson Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I've gotta start out with Bonzo /thread Paul Lowndes (Streetlight Manifesto)-- Not the best by any means, but Everything Goes Numb is one of my favorite albums and I love his drumming on it.

DrFishfinder Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Carl Palmer Whoa.....most excellent choice! Billy Cobham, Bill Bruford, Alan White (Yes) & Lenny White (Return to Forever). Bill Ward: The Sabs....very underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yall Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Obviously Peart should be at the top. In Modern Drummer magazine, he isn't even allowed to be nominated in reader polls anymore, because he always wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 All time: Buddy Rich Modern: Mike Portnoy And even though he isn't a technically gifted drummer...I love listening to Ringo play. If anyone has Anthology 2, listen to the end of the third Strawberry Fields track on Disc 2. Dude goes off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 been done Thanks. Wasn't sure if I was sufferin' from a bout of short term memory grasp, or just crazy. eh.. it's the off-season.
