Who are some of your favorite drummers, in any music genre, all-time?

Rick Allen of Def Leppard. He didn't let having his arm amputated keep him from his passion

I BELIEVE Phil HAS been mentioned a few times. I agree, he was/is a great drummer. He did some wonderful work on a couple of Brian Eno's early albums. My favorite drumming by Phil is on a Peter Gabriel track, from Peter's third solo album, known as the "melting face" album because of its cover, and because Gabriel's first three solo albums were ALL self-titled! Anyway, the track is titled "Intruder", with some fantastic drumming by Phil.

I could name many others but Rick Wakeman,,,, Piano players count too or just electronic. If so Billy Joel of course, Keith Jarrett Koln Concert.

Thanks for your post, Shawn. I MAY do a thread on piano and keyboard players.

This IS a funny one, except maybe NOT to drummers. Thanks for your post.

Not big on drummers, but I did enjoy Buddy Rich, Buddy Miles and the guy who backed Hendrix, don't recall his name. Jazz drummers would have to be the highest skilled, but jazz drum solos are annoying for the most part. My favorite drums are those in the 1812 Overture and in modern recordings of Prokofiev's compositions. Oh yeah and the music from the ape scene in 2001: A Space Odessey.

Q: How do you get the guitar player to stop playing?




A: put a piece of sheet music in front of him.

Neil Peart

This MFer...in a suit.

I saw that guy numerous times. Unbelievable.

I never got to seem him perform live, I wish I had. He passed away in 1987, I was 26 years old at the time, and didn't appreciate jazz music yet.

Somewhere there are reruns of Johnny Carson; Rich was on that show a lot. Not like a club gig or Vegas show, but better than nothing, since they did close ups of his hands at work.
