I like JON BONHAM , but i didn't get the pleasure od seeing him live.

NEAL PEART of RUSH is the BEST drummer i've seen live, and i'm not even a huge Rush fan. But, he's the BEST.

kenny olav

Neil Peart
Danny Carey
John Bonham
Matt Cameron
Keith Moon/Dave Grohl (tie)

kenny olav

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.

omniscient

John Bohnam
Keith Moon
Jon Theodore

Zoso

Bonham, Cameron, plus the normal ones Moon etc.

MetalGod75

Keith Moon

mY GOD THIS THREAD WAS FUNNY.

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

and lars drumming on in justice is great

Didn't read all 11 pages so I'm not sure if these guy's have been mentioned but Rodney Holmes and John Molo are 2 of the sickest around right now.

I came in here waiting too see you say Dave A.

what bands do these 2 drum in I never heard of them

and the saga still goes

no love for mike portnoy here

he is probably the best drummer ever
neli peart is great too

I actually listened to portnoy because of an interview I read with peart back in 89 and he said this portnoy character was a prodigy

it took me awhile because dream theater is hard to listen too but this dude is no joke

Rodney Holmes is basiclly a studio drummer but currently playes in the Steve Kimock band, and The Jim Weider(the Band) band and has recorded with Santana, David Gilmore and many others.

John Molo is in the bands Moderko and Jemimah Puddleduck, and plays most of the shows with Phil Lesh(the Dead) and friends, also spent years in Bruce Hornsby's band.

You probably won't like any of these bands but these guys are no joke on the drums, and would make a fool of Matt Cameron or Dave A, without breaking a sweat.

I told you I was down with the dead. I have been seing lesh for at least 7 years solo.
Man the o2 summer tour was fucking insane

as far as hornsby he is my fav piano player, and i love his work thouroly

make a fool of matt i dont know, have you ever heard any of his solo shit
hes pretty talented
this is why i am so into him

but if these guys drum like portnoy, or bozzio, or baker,than i guess you may have a point
but i honestly think you should check out the first 2 wellwater cds


i will gladly mail you burnt cds bro

i like mickey hart

Just looked at the first page of this post but Neil Peart(?) seemed to be missing from most lists. Sure Bonzo was great but Neil plays a plaethora of percussion.

Dave Grohl
