Rocketfrogs Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Rolling Stone's lists have always been a pile of steaming ****. Meg White and Janet Weiss in the Top 100 and above Christian Vander?????? Credibility zero. Bah humbug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givita_burl Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Did see Tony Williams in the list - a long way down though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippi Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Bernard Purdie Phil Selway Ahmir Questlove Buddy Rich Jim White are some of my favourites and in no particular order. It's not about showmanship, but actually doing what's the right feel for the material - check out Steve Reich minimalist piece Drumming from early seventies. And I'm not a drummer (for the record), but a guitarist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokken Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 In terms of Extreme Metal drummers, the below 3 would have to be right up there: 1. Dominator (Nils Fjellstrom) ex Dark Funeral 2. Hellhammer (Jan Axel Blomberg) current Mayhem and ex Dimmu Borgir and Covenant 3. Nicholas Barker current Brujera and ex Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eggcup The Daft Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 No Pierre van der Linden, either. In fact, the usual lack of Europeans on a best of list. Many of the jazz drummers are well down the list when they are included, when they are generally the better musicians. Where did they put Jack deJohnette? Forty something? Phil Seamen is another missing name - understandably, though his name would come up if the drummers themselves were making the list. No Ed Blackwell, either, that I could see. Still, such lists are subjective. So it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Range Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 They have Keith Moon at number 2 But left out Neil Smith from Alice Cooper Neil Smith and Keith Moon I believe were friends, tricksters and rivals Steve just loved to call Keith and ask how many drums he had then go out to and buy one more than him just to tease him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerglide Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) I skipped to the top ten and some great drummers there, not the order I'd like but rating musicians is so subjective to what music "YOU" like the way most three piece bands structure their rhythm section normally sees the drummer being able to lay down more flamboyant licks and the bass player keeping the beat, Ginger Baker, Stewart Copeland and especially Mitch Mitchell were masters at it. Not sure who arranged it but Keith Moons lead drumming on Happy Jack was his best, no disrespect, but if it wasn't for him being such a personality and death I don't think he'd be in the top ten. my top ten would have included Ansley Dunbar and Sly Dunbar.

Mike De Lorenzo Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) i have too throw this one in.. TIMELINE | KING CRIMSON | KING CRIMSON ROBERT FRIPP THE VICAR TOUR DATES STUDIO SESSIONS WORD NEWS FORUM DISCOGRAPHY SHOP ALL 31 JAN 2017 JOHN WETTON DGM HQ DGM's tribute to the mighty bass guitarist that was John Wetton. Compiled from a Fripp, Wetton and Collins session recorded prior to the making of Exposure, this is quite easily the best jazz-rock power trio that never existed, with the famous Wetton crunching bass well to the fore. Astonishing to think that John made his huge contribution to King Crimson in just three brief years before moving on to UK, Roxy Music and Asia. The comments section below leaves a space where we can collect tributes.

deviltoob Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) i always thought Bill Berry was rock solid. I heard he didn’t need a click track to play with. I like pop drummers anyway, as soon as I hear a drum solo I get bored pretty quick. The list is not serious anyway. Dave Grohl at 27? Pfft. Even Dave Grohl would laugh at that. Despite my limited knowledge of drumming, I’d put Tony Allen and Jimmy Chamberlain, Chad Smith (I like the way he ends Purple Stain), as well, in my top ten. They sound cool so that does it for me.

Full Range Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 A reasonably recent find on amazing drummers Enjoy a sample of a truly amazing talent Larnell Lewis Born in Toronto, Ontario, Lewis started playing drums at age 2 and was first introduced to drums in church. This is where he began to learn to play a variety of styles including gospel music, soca, calypso, reggae, zouk and funk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larnell_Lewis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
