There, of course, have been many great drummers, spanning all genres of music, over the years. My favorites include - 1) John Bonham, THE most powerful drummer ever, IMO. He was like LEAD DRUMMER on some of the Led Zeppelin classics. Just fantastic. 2) Keith Moon, almost as powerful a drummer as Bonham, he, along with bassist John Entwistle, anchored SO many classic songs by The Who. Moon WAS a loon, but a terrific drummer, as well. 3) Neil Peart, the drummer for Rush, was just spectacular. He added so many little percussion things to his playing, he truly WAS a Master Drummer. And like Bonham, he was the LEAD DRUMMER on some songs by Rush. 4) Bill Bruford, just a fantastic drummer for Yes, King Crimson, UK, as well as his vast amount of solo work. He could be powerful, but also very quiet and subtle with his playing. An accomplished master at both rock and roll AND jazz music. 5) The incomparable Buddy Rich, THE best jazz drummer I've ever heard. Just a brilliant drum master, he was amazing at playing intricate OR simple beats. Truly one of a kind. Well, here are some of my favorites, who are some of yours?
