    Hope you're kidding about Lars...I love Metallica just as much as the next guy, but Lars is seriously not that good, even for the style he plays.

    You want a groove-metal drummer who's 10 times classier???

    Vinnie Fuckin' Paul.
    Pantera.
    Word.




    If I had to give a top 5....
    Bonham (he never played a bad or un-classy part in any Zeppelin song, ever)
    Moon (a little over the top, but he invented power drumming/lead drumming)
    Grohl (any doubters after Nirvana were put to sleep when Songs For the Deaf or the Killing Joke albums came out. Just phenomenal.)
    Vinnie Paul Abbot (see above - best metal drummer)
    Jimmy Chaimberlain (Billy knows what he has)

    This is rock drummers, right? Cause I know a shit load of jazz drummers that could drum circles around all of these guys.



    Anyway, of all time. Top 3 Rock drummers have to be:

    - Moon
    - Peart
    - Bonham



    Oh and Brann Dailor from Mastadon > Danny Carey. Also, Jon Theodore AND Thomas Pridgen from the Mars Volta are very good.
    Horry Kow!

    Brann has spectacular fills but he has never played a beat in his life. Carey is like a fucked metronome. In a good way.

    I appreciate the chemistry between Jack and Meg in the White Stripes.

    I've been playing drums for a while, so spare the lesson on whose got "chops" and who doesn't.

    1. Matt Cameron...he is a fucking animal when playing live.
    2. John Bonham

    I have other drummers I like, but none of them compare to those 2, especially cameron.

    All the rusted signs, we ignore throughout our lives, choosing the shiny ones instead...

    And he who forgets, will be destined to remember...

    Yeah, but the questionw as top drummer, not best chemistry.


    And I play drums too, and Meg isn't anywhere near a good drummer.


    Best female drummer? Easily Janet Wiess from Sleater-Kinney. Now that girl had chops.

    Not to be a dick, but the thread is simply "Your Top 5 Drummers." I take that to mean "who speaks to you musically," nothing more.

    Meg's not on my list but I can totally relate to how a good musician might find her vibe and chemistry right up there.

    That guy from Mastadon is totally tasteless...all he does is fill and fill and fill...
    Has he ever played a beat in his fucking life?

    Also, I am no Tool fan whatsoever (pretentious fucks), but I can at least admit that Danny Carey is incredible.

    Meg White gets such a bad rep, considering she had never drummed before starting the White Stripes with Jack.

    Thomas Pridgeon is a power house.
    Lars Ulrich is a fucking power house.
    Jose Pasillas is just awesome.
    Neil Peart is just Neil Peart.
    Eels' drummer is just so much fun.
    If I could, think I would give in.

    You know, drums are an instrument. I like the song in Elvin Jones's playing.
