soundfan Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Tony Williams should have at least made top 5. No Jim White either. Was Art Blakey on it? Another useless list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Yes the definition of Great needs to be defined. Seems to be more like "drummers in very successful bands" although some technically "clever" drummers are listed, many are not. Ringo - ?? hmm Keith Moon !! - very energetic and occasionally in time with the song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaky Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not a nostalgia buff when it comes to this at all but this list has the first modern drummers I'd think of as worthy of to be here: Jon Theodore Tomas Haake Danny Carey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kab Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 One of the best drummers i have seen was this canadian guy in a band that played Eric Johnson's Tone album from start to finish......amazing stuff! He crapped over most drummers in that list. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This meant leaving out dozens of essential jazz artists such as Max Roach and Roy Haynes, whose innovations inspired many of the players you'll read about below. That list is its own monument we hope to build someday soon" Edited August 21, 2017 by Citroen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Misterioso Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I am sure they just added that caveat after reading our comments here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not rated at all by the Beatles engineers...nor by me... Ringo Starr is to drumming... What Bob Dylan is to pitch perfect & in key singing... Dylan is a GREAT poet, lyricist & storyteller... A voice & conscious of a generation or two... Starr is a VERY lucky man who lived off the genius of Lennon/McCartney Starr was...the narrator in Thomas the Tank Engine... And got that gig because of his fame... Says it all really... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdDrawerDown Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Rolling Stone appears to be devoted to msitaining the edifice that Greil Marcus erected years ago, the 'canon' of rock music. Springsteen, Dylan, just lookat their covers over any five year period. Starr is in the canon due to the Beatles. He's not someone to role model on for technical expertise.

Ian McP Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Little known fact: John Lydon's PIL Album had Ginger Baker and Tony Williams as drummers! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Album_(Public_Image_Ltd_album) regards Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Thomas Haake, this is one of the most complicated and fatiguing doulble bass songs to play, even this man had to practice this for months before they could record it, and he’s considered one of the best double bass drummers in the world. Tough track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
