Favorite drummers
 

Same as "Favorite guitarists", only instead of guitarists, it's drummers...DUH! :D

Danny Carey - Tool
Lars Ulrich - Metallica
John Dolmayen - System Of A Down
Stefanie Eulinberg - Kid Rock

Joey Jordison - SlipKnoT

Brian May - Queen :up:

Uh, Brian May plays the guitar, mate. Roger Taylor is Queen's drummer.

Wrong thread, because of that case... ;)

Ringo Starr is my favorite drummer.

Danny Carey from Tool, neil peart from rush (who is probably going on for best drummer in the world), the guy from the berserker (who is the fastest drummer in the world, iirc) and the guy from SikTh (for some neat rhythms on the new album).

probably way more worth note, though.

Billy Cobham (Jazz/Rock legend)
Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, etc)
Michael Shrieve (Santana)
Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Killing Joke, QOTSA, Foo Fighters)
Pierre Moerlen (Gong)
Sly Dunbar (Sly & Robbie)
John Maher (Buzzcocks)
Bill Ward (Black Sabbath)
Neil Peart (Rush)
Jaki Leibezeit (Can)
Jon Hiseman (Colosseum, etc)
Ginger Baker (Cream, Hawkwind, etc)
Style Scott (Roots Radics, Dub Syndicate, African Head Charge)
Budgie (Siouxsie, Creatures)

Also: Keith Moon, Mitch Mitchell (Hendrix), Carl Palmer (ELP)

And definitely Zappa's drummers, ooh yeah, for sure!
Though, wasn't it Terry Bozzio?
Also Vinnie Colaiuta . . .

John Bonham (sp?) from Led Zeppelin.
Neil Peart from Rush.
Bill Ward from Black Sabbath (except for the opening on Iron Man).
The drummer from Tool.
The drummer from The Tea Party.
The drummer from Fear Factory.

Bonzo from Led Zep, yeah.

Danny Carey, Tool
He is just soo damn talented, it is amazing, but that is true with every member of tool.

But I dont know too many of the drumbers, and I dont know enough about it to really say if some bands have a good drumber or a bad one. Most of them all sound the same, with a few exeptions listed here.

Neil Peart
Buddy Rich
Bill Bruford
Michael Giles
Todd Nance
Gregg Bisonette

Dave Grohl - Nirvana, QOTS, Foo Fighters.
Danny Carey - Tool
Led Zeppelin drummer
Neil Peart - Rush
Dave Lombardo - Slayer
SOAD drummer
RATM drummer

The 'Manager' - Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine.

He never drops a beat.

I agree that Dave Grohl is one of the greatest drummers of all time, but he does NOT play drums for the Foo Fighters. He plays guitar. The Foo Fighters' drummer is Taylor Hawkins, also very good.

[edit]
can't be arsed to make a new post . . . yeah, I knew that, but he's in the Foo Fighters, so I included them in the brackets without even thinking, lol, plus see zootm's post below, ooh wheeeee - DJ Egg
[/edit]

Chad Sexton from 311 is great
Tim "Herb" Alexander from Primus is awesome
& Neil Pert from Rush owns us all :)

actually, on their first album, dave grohl plays all the instruments. i think he recorded the drum tracks for some of the other ones (maybe) too.

Roger Taylor of course
John Bonham
Lars Ulrich
Phil Collins:)

ME! I'm my own biggest fan

Brad Hargreaves (Third Eye Blind)

Favourite drummers
 

1. Ginger Baker (Cream, Clapton...)
2. John Bonham (Led Zeppelin)
3. Jeff Porcaro (Toto)
4. Liberty DeVito (Billy Joel)
5. Metallicas Drummer Whatever His Name Is

1. Joey jordison - slipknot
2. the drummer for killswitch engage whatever his name is
3. the drummer for disturbed OWNS.
4. of course LARS.
5. anyone willing too utilize the double bass in a good way.

metallicas drummer is lars ulrich. hes sick

Ulrich on Metallica's new album is almost indistuingishable from any other shitty nü-metal drummer of late.

I'd much rather listem to his older stuff, Enter Sandman and Sanitarium, to name a couple.

I also like John Bonham and Jon Fishman of Phish.
I guess I'm a hypocrite though to say that I can't get enough of Travis Barker on the Transplants' album, though...

I also like the band Cake and their drummer. I have a very, um, diverse, idea of good music.

ulrich plays drums that sound like tin cans on St. Anger. He had it specially made for the album and he turned it off for some songs. he was playing double bass before a lot of people on the old stuff though.

technical drummer -Phil collins

best ever according to my taste -Ginger Baker (cream)
-John Bonham (zeppelin)

Got to be Philly Joe Jones

The man played with everybody. Miles Davis thought he was the besg drummer ever....and thats good enough for me.

The drummer from Jimi Hendrix's band, whatever his name is.

That's Mitch Mitchell

Mitch Mitchell
Ginger Baker
John Bonham
Lars Ulrich (even though hes an ass)
Joey Jordison (i admit hes pretty good)
And Rush's drummer, forgot his name

I like drum musician!

Now in that pic he is preforming his solo at 90 degrees angle.

John Dolmayan (System Of A Down), Lars Ulrich (Metallica) and Neil Peart (Rush) are some of my all-time favorites...

Of course, no one should also forget Danny Carey from Tool either... :D

Definatly Mitch Mitchel, Dave Grohl (sp?) and, hmmmmm I dunno, don't usually listen to the dumming myself, more of a guitar fan.

Motley Crews Tommy Lee was performing drum solos upside down 15 years or so ago....not that I ever, ever went to a concert owned a cd....ohon, not me!

:D ... god i love this man!

my fav = keith moon from the who, im very suprised noone mentioned him.

I'm even more surprised no one mentioned the likes of Billy Cobham, that man is SICK. If you can hear Spectrum, listen to it.

That would be Neil Peart, who in my opinion is one of the greatest drummers ever! He isn't called "The Professor on the Drum Kit" for nothing!

In the province of Drums, I would say the entire KOTO ensemble from Japan is my favorite.

http://www.kodo.or.jp/

In their performance they use series of giant O-Daiko drums which are possibly the largest traditional drums ever. Usually taking several years for a specialized craftsman to create, the sound resembles an earthquake- no bass enhancement required.

I'd like to see Tommy Lee try his hand at THAT.

The Japanese always put their all into anything they do, so the drumming is always visually very interesting- three people can be in the middle of a circle of drums, pounding out a rhythm while juggling drumsticks with each other. True virtuosity.

That's one drum!!! But isn't Japan also the home of:

The Casio RZ-1. The perfect drummer, it doesn't need its own roadie.
