Tony Williams should have at least made top 5. No Jim White either. Was Art Blakey on it?

 

Another useless list.

Most lists are...hence your thoughts!

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.

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.

"One important caveat: we used rock and pop as our rubric, so a drummer's work needed to directly impact that world (as we define it, of course) to make the list. 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"

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...

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.

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.
