Top 10 Drummers Ever based on complexity and then on feel

ITS ABOUT TIME!!! i didn't think anyone would mention JOHN FISHMAN!!! he is the master......fishmans beats get so crazy complex, and even the most simple stuff he makes exciting......hands down its all about FISHMAN! he is the back bone to the musical beast PHISH.....no greater accomplishment....

 

Zak Starkey (Ring Star's son)....i think he's playing with Oasis at the mo'...but when i saw him playing with the Who.....wow!

 

^Yeah he's Oasis' new drummer... man he puts his dad to shame

 

ummmm no

 

Keith Moon of the Who


To me, there's no question about it that this man was the greatest drummer in Rock history, as well as the embodyment of the youthfull rebellion his group stood for. I always litsten closely to drums on any track, but I never heard anything quite like the drumrolls and the crashing cymbals of this man.

He was also one of the first to see that a Rock drummer should be right up there with the rest of the musicians, rather then being a stoned timekeeper in the back. He always treated the drums as a lead instrument, and good things came from that. I was convinced of him being the best ever after hearing the Leeds album.

He should be nr. 1 thru 10, with an honourable mention to Neil Peart of Rush.

 

Derek Roddy from Hate Eternal (etc.) based on speed, tightness, complexity.

Proscriptor McGovern from Absu based on speed and tightness.

Frost from Satyricon (etc.) based on speed, tightness, feel, make-up and sexy motherfuckerness.

Nicholas Barker from Dimmu Borgir (etc., but especially there were his talents used in the right way) based on speed, tightness and complexity.

Not to sound too disrespectful, but he sucks. I've been playing for six months and there's nothing he can do that I can't do twice as fast.

As a matter of speaking.

travis barker, john bonham, dr.chud(misfits), brandon chevalier-kolling(leftover crack), dave lombardo(slayer), lars ulrich. my fav drummers

 

He is indeed one paradiddle freak, and he´s hands speed is ridiculous.

 

Keith Moon....sucks!! has anybody ever listened to his drums? they are off beat, shitty patterns. the man is an act, not a musician.

 

I second that.

 

John Bonham (good ol Bonzo) is definitely my favorite drummer.
The drummer from Edgar Winters Group was great; just listen to Frankenstein.
TOOL's drummer is really good, too (listen to Reflection and/or Eulogy for his more complex stuff)

Also, most jazz musicians are such masters at their instruments that you can name any one of them and they'd make it to a list of the greatest.

 

Buddy Rich...Noone even comes close to this guy!

You guys are just listing YOUR favorite drummer's,which alot that have been mentioned suck ass!Like neil peart,travis barker(lol!)

Sorry for being a dick....WATCH BUDDY!!!He'll blow your freakin' mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Joey from Slipknot.
John Bonham
The guy from this Death Metal band called Nile
Even though I dont care for the music, the drummer from Blink 182 is awesome.
