    DANNY CAREY no questions asked
    Just, not enough.
    I need more.
    Nothing seems to satisfy.
    I said, I dont want it.
    I just need it.

    Alive:
    Dave Grohl
    Mike Portnoy
    Charlie Watts, he might not be like crazy good, but it fits the music so well.

    But Bonham is god! Greatest rock drummer of all time, in my opinion.
    32 shows and counting...

    excluding all the accomplished jazz drummers, i'd have to say the best drummer still kickin' is easily neil peart. actually i'd probably pick him above the jazz drummers too. danny carey takes second. jimmy chamberlin takes the bronze.

    You missed the two links above, dude.

    Oh also the guy who drummed for Hatebreed was really really good too.

    WTF nobody said Virgil Donati
    Besides him:
    Steve Gadd
    Lombardo
    Dave Grohl
    Gene Hogland (the guy is a frickin' demon)
    Jimmy Chamberlain
    Mike Portnoy

    A drummer I really like but I know he's not the best is Martin Lopez



    Good call on Donati. I usually include him on my list.

    Okay so i'm not going to call him the best drummer alive, but I want to mention him. I don't know his name right off but the drummer from Mastadon is really good. I love his fills. I don't like how a lot of metal bands will ride the double bass drum, but he really slaps the skins. I like his drumming a lot.

    I guess we agree then. I think meg's drumming, while not the most skilled, fits in well with the white stripes. Brad just sucks

    Crappy drumming in a crappy band is no excuse for crappy drumming!
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    I'm assuming that all the people who didn't mention Billy Cobham didn't because they haven't heard him right? And if that's the case please for the love of god check him out. Buy the inner mounting flame by the Mahavishnu Orchestra for some of the most creative, complex and exciting drum playing ever committed to tape (and yes that is over and above Neil Peart and Danny Carey IMO)

    Dave Grohl - Loved his style in Nirvana and re-affirmed my liking for him on 'Songs for the Deaf'.

    Jack Irons - In particular, for Up In My Tree and Given To Fly, also for his work with the Chili's.

    Travis Barker - Although he's in shit bands (sorry Blink and whatever the name of the other band he is in fans) but that guy can drum up a storm.

    he is absolutely terrible. Barely a step above Meg white.

    Take a listen to Bulls On Parade from Live At The Grand Olympic Auditorium, and then say he's a shit drummer. On record he tends to go with the more basic stuff, but live he's pretty damn good.
