wide_right 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. Pearti is very good, maybe technically superior to Bonham. But Bonham was no slouch in that department, and I think he's better because his looser style of drumming is something that people relate to better. His solo in Moby Dick is memorable for example, and I really don't Peart has anything all that memorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete 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. agreed. Chamberlain is sick! He has a jazz background. I also like Buddy Guy and Danny Carey from Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peart is by far better not only technically (what else is there, really), but also plays a "loose" style as well. I've often considered Peart to be a highly skilled and disciplined version of Keith Moon . . . Listen to: Subdivisions and if you're thinking that he only could do it 20 years ago, this is from '07 and on a 5 piece kit. Malignant Narcicism Sorry, but I've been around drums for almost 30 years, and there just aren't a lot rock drummers who should be mentioned in the same breath as Peart. Jazz on the other hand . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I'm on board with the Peart and Stuart Copeland nominations. And I loved the comparison of Peart as a disciplined Keith Moon; both dudes were so good they were at times literally "lead" drummers. But I just wanted to mention that young kid who absolutely savaged that tiny drumkit during Carlos Santana's Woodstock set. That boy went off.

Mrs. Beerball Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 All great drummers. I'd add: Topper Headon of the Clash Hal Blaine, session man Danny Seraphine of Chicago (You know you know the drum part to 25 or 6 to 4!) Tres Cool of Green Day Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters Max Weinberg of E Street Band Larry Mullen, Jr. of U2 Chad Smith of RHCP Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick (Guilty pleasure!)
