Greatest Drummer (Percussionist) of All Time

[yiostheoy]

ichiban...

Ginger Baker is definitely in the top 10.

I don't think he was ever better than Bonham however.

 

[yiostheoy]

Pupps' nomination, Carl Palmer. Below is from 2009, at 59 years of age, the others still can't touch him.

It's got to be Buddy Rich, followed by John Bonham.

We're close, to a degree. Pupps has 'em ranked:

Carl Palmer
John "Bonzo" Bonham ( who said Carl was the best he had ever seen )
Buddy Rich

Bonham.

buddy rich

Rich did not make Rolling Stone's top 10 however.

Thank God you included the descriptor "percussionist". I would NEVER have figured this out.

Rich did not make Rolling Stone's top 10 however.

Buddy actually came in behind Ringo, which tells you just how worthless the RS top 100 is!!!!!

RS is populated by a bunch of arrogant pompous asses who think their opinions actually matter.

I'll look for a video on him. Those spastic vids make me sea sick.

I saw Whiplash not along ago. Difficult movie to watch because the music teacher played an asshole so well but it was worth hanging in there.

I do. So was Keith Moon.

 

[Billo_Really]

I like the late '60's drummers, but this dude got my attention!

Excuse me, did you say something?

I saw ELP in concert and this is what I remember most about Carl Palmer from that show.

Ginger Baker is definitely in the top 10.

I don't think he was ever better than Bonham however.

I do. So was Keith Moon.

Bonham was powerful and had great stamina, Moon was every bit as powerful, faster, and had better improvisational creativity. Baker was just a tad, and a very small tad at that, better than moon. But I believe that Peart is the best ever.

 

[Billo_Really]

The great Keith Moon.

Yes, RS is filled with pretentious tards.

Got to tell you -- my all time favorite drummer is Dino Danelli from the Young Rascals. One the most under-appreciated drummers in Rock history. He blew me away every time on solos. If you get bored, in this 13 minutes, skip around, he's amazing. And you could tell from the studio tracks how expressive he was with the standard stuff.

Lotta good ones in here...

Yes, he was a very good drummer. Watch this Peart video, the solo starts at 3:58 but it get's interesting at the 5:30 mark.

Fantastic. If you close your eyes towards the end, you'd swear he had 3 feet..
