His drumming performance is full of power where it's needed but also pure grace when he wants to accentuate the perfromance of the lead singer. He has obviously slowed down over the years, but the things that man can do while drumming is beyond me. He NEEDS to be at his rightful place at #1! Thanks Mike for the years of inspiration! As a fan of metal and drumming in general, Danny Carey has been one of the most influential and skilled drummers I could think of. Neil Peart's drumming fits with many genres as well as punk, soul, metal especially Jazz which he still plays. People don't consider Dave to be an amazing drummer purely because in Nirvana his drum parts were energetic however simple. And Buddy Rich?!? Here is the revised spotify playlist & car visuals ... You looked back over at Bokuto who stood proudly in his grey bomber jacket, talking to another guy in the same one with the words Fukurodani Squad labeled on the front. Lars revolutionized drumming. COMPARED TO KEITH MOON?!?!? Tool would be nothing without him, let alone all the other bands he's played with. The other drummers, good, great, or other could never do this. Gene Krupa doesn't even get a mention here? What the hell is wrong with you people?! His hands are the fastest ever (he has world record), he has an octopus-like coverage of the kit rivaled only by Kieth Moon, and there is, quite frankly, probably nothing he cannot play. I learnt how to play those famous fills of his career like Tom Sawyer in under a year and I still can’t play Good Times Bad Times the whole way. Mike took it to the next level and is the BEST nodern drummer. Dudes a beast but not number one but definitely top ten maybe even five behind Portnoy, The Rev, and Peart. This dude doesn't need fame to drive him to be the best drummer ever, he is basically there already. Each time it is as if a complete and new version of brand on the drums which is something to realize without contemplation as well. Also, if you want an idiot bashing on drums then listen to helter skelter, I want you (she's so heavy), birthday, and sgt. The Rev, I believe stands at least in the top three of all time it's just a shame that people don't know who he is as Avenged Sevenfold aren't exactly a household name, He was a beast and probably the fastest drummer I've ever seen. It's a real shame the newly reformed Black Sabbath couldn't find a way to get him involved in the current (and potentially final) reunion. No effort at all, just FUN! I mean just look at Ringo Starr, he couldn't do any complex pieces and often stuck to simple, bland beats. This list is full of limp wristed goobers. But where is Billy Cobham and Lenny White on this list? Incredible drummer that did not overplay. His drumming has nothing to do with simply hitting surfaces, it's like a whole choreography of passion. You'll come to find that they are a lot harder to play than you'd realize. Somehow Moon does it all appearing as if he never even had a lesson. John Bonham, the ultimate exponent of the driving single bass drum with explosive triplets In fact, every other drummer on this list exceptional in their own ways, it is only Neil Peart who has the all round ability to equal each and all of them in the areas where they were singularly exceptional. Really? Just listen to hot for teacher. No matter how much better Rush might be as a band (and it isn't) the Who have better individual players all around. She did. I have to give this man, Bill Ward, my vote.Just listen to Fairies Wear Boots off the album Paranoid. This man is an absolute legend and is quite underrated for the music genre he plays for. he has some of the most complex drumming rhythms I've ever heard. The bottomless pocket and unflappable technical mastery on display he showed working with Zappa is only equalled by Peart, In my opinion, but with deeper groove.
