I just watched the Rush 30th Aniversary DVD... and Neil Peart is unreal. It doesn't even look like he is trying, and he is pulling off amazing drum lines, his technique is nearly perfect, he is so efficient. Also, whoever said Terry Bozzio, he's gotta be up there too.
I was taught a month ago to bide my time and take it slow, but then I learned just yesterday to rush and never waste a day. Now I'm convinced the whole day long that all I've learned is always wrong. Things are true that I forget, but no one taught that to me yet

Danny Carey

Flo Mournier
These are my favourites, not necessarily because of their technical prowess but because not many drummers can play in such a way that you can actually tell that it's them, but these guys definitely do. therefore, they rule.
and the reason Grohl makes it up that high is because of his work with QOTSA. before that he was a really fun drummer to listen to, but that Songs for the Deaf album really kicked it up a level for him.
It took 4 pages and ony 3 mentions to bring up the best drummer ever.
Mike Portnoy.
Now you may not like his style, or the music, but no drummer has ever done the amount of stuff this guy has.
I asked Matt Cameron who he thought were good drummers.
Buddy rich
of course
Terri Bozzio
of course
stewart copeland
of course
neil peart
of course
Keith Moon
of course
Barrit Martin
of course
were drummers that he listened too.
I mentioned portnoy, he smiled and said well is that really drumming and we laughed
and he said of course
With barrit martin you have to listen to tuatara to hear his talent not mad season or screaming trees
Als with cameron listen to wellwater conspiracy
Danney Carey is great and so is Carter Buford
but these guys are not even close to portnoy
there may never be a drummer like portnoy again
as far as grohl he is great, but he has turned himself into a great overall musician
all of the names listed are good
but you guys need to go out and listen to mike portnoy some more
and its a stretch to put abruzzeze on htat list, he just hasnt done enough work to be in a league with these guys

...I admit to be "classic rock" ignorant, so all the drumming virtuosos (Bonham, Moon, Peart etc etc) mentioned in this thread are meaningless to me
