Best Drummer

I'm sure there are a lot of opinions on this... I personally have to go with Danny Carey of Tool. I admire many drummers for there simplicity and I admire others for their flash. Overall Danny Carey is it for me. What are your thoughts? Who is your favorite? Can you choose a single drummer?

Thanks!

    Danny Carey is awesome, but kinda one dimensional. I'll take Neil Peart or Bonzo.

    John Bonham. So much feeling. I'll take feeling over technical skill any day of the week.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Its no secret who I like. :D


    He gives an amazing groove to this song

    Powerful and intricate on the toms...
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAHmpnncmT8


    Even on songs we've heard a million times, he makes them a million times better
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=299YJsCq ... 5B9D642756


    And he BRINGS THE FUNK.
    ...just listen to that bass drum. That's all done with one-foot (no double pedal)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYTW1zzDDvE


    How much he is missed. Beyond words.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    danny carey is one of the best of all time. certainly of our generation at least.

    the national's bryan devendorf is brilliant in his understated drumming. phil selway of radiohead.

    No secret I'm a big Dave Matthews Band fan, but even if you aren't a fan of DMB at all, I think it's impossible to deny how amazing Carter Beauford is on the drum kit. Such an animal, owns his huge ass kit, puts everything he has into every performance.

    I would love to see The National open for Pearl Jam. I think that would be really, really, really cool.
