Neil Peart
Carter Beauford

I never listened to Zappa, but a friend of mine lent me a Terry Bozzio video - guy's pretty amazing.

I never listened to the Dixie Dregs, but I caught the Steve Morse Band opening for Rush in 1986, and I got to see/hear Rod Morgenstein play live...very cool.

[TimTimSalabim]

I like your list, but I would add Barrimore Barlow and Stewart Copeland.

[deacsoft]

Max Weinberg
Travis Barker
Dave Grohl
Adrian Young
Steven Drozd

Yes.

Everyone likes to rip on blink-182, but seeing this guy tear up the drums in a live set is pretty awesome. He also does it while spinning 360 degrees in a cage.

Also, listen to the opening drum fill of "First Date." Probably the best drum open to any pop song of the decade.

I've played drums for 14 years and never saw or heard anyone faster.

[dr. klopek]

John Bonham
Chad Smith

[Redmen62]

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned, so here's one nobody has heard of- Jeff Burrows

[whiskeytown]

such obvious pathetic answers....and yes, let's say Kurt Cobain's Nirvana was a great debut album...(High Fidelity reference there...)

TimS got it right...Stewart Copeland was one of the greatest drummers on the planet period..(drummer for the Police, for you new un's ...) - watch the live performances and see what I mean.....[censored] all over and in time and incredible....

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

Daryn. The way he uses his middle finger as a 3rd drumstick is the [censored]!

[Matt Flynn]

i'd add the drummer from the dave matthews band. what's his name / has he been mentioned?

also, tommy angelo.

matt

[Aces McGee]

I'm no student of music and my answers are certainly colored by the type of music that I listen to, but I've always thought that Matt Cameron (formerly of Soundgarden, now of Pearl Jam) was one of the best in the business.

Keith Moon ("Quadrophenia" Album)

love that album, esp. side 4

[Benal]

The drummer for TOOL, and it's not even close.

[istewart]

Actually it's very close. I did forget Carey when making this list, but he's not in my top favorites, and Portnoy is definitely beyond him.

hey primus is g00t. the drums are great too. the guy from rush is peart, who was mentioned and would be on my list too.

beauford is probably the cream of the crop, even though dave matthews band is far from my favorite, beauford is just on top as far as skills and technique.

moon is moon

[astroglide]

'primus sucks' is a way fans say they like them

[daryn]

interesting

[DMBFan23]

Carter Beauford. He's the shizzle.

John Bonham was the nast though.

wow dude...half of my cd collection is punk/metal and most of those have things that are much faster than anything i've heard travis do. pick up one death metal or hardcore band's cd and you'll poopie yourself if you think travis is fast. granted the man has great technical talent, but i can't say i think he's that fast compared to a lot of drummers i've seen/heard. not a personal knock or anything, i guess i just listen to fast music.

i see your travis barker and raise you a 12-year old Tony Royster Jr.

prepare to poopie yourself. (yeah yahoo korea, couldn't find it anywhere else)

for sheer speed and cool solos you can check out some metal. dragonforce...it's gay but i love it:

for the record my favorite drummer is Jordan Burns from Strung Out.

I'll second Stewart Copeland.

[Allan]

My favorites have already been mentioned but one guy who I love listening to and think is tremendously musical is Herlin Riley.

[Matt Flynn]

"John Bonham was the nast though."

yup.

[deacsoft]

I can't believe I forgot to mention Paul Johnson. He's the drummer for an amazing band that most of you have probably never even heard of. He puts out some great beats and is a very good drummer. If you're at all in to emo give them a listen.

Here's their site: Audio Learning Center (http://www.audiolearningcenter.com/)

Bonham
Peart
Dana Carey

it's also a way that non-fans say they suck.

although i think they're all fantastic musicians, there's something about mixing them all together that just doesn't work for me. ok so i don't really think they suck. just not that good. i'm totally amazed at les claypool's abilities but it's just too much.

my philosophies is less is more. with music, design, and sadly enough my penis size.

[daryn]

more like les is more.

WTF?!!? Phish!?! Putting him with Roach and Jones.....Jesus would be spinning in his grave.

[oddjob]

some of my favorites are

the drummer from:
tool
sunny day real estate
part time drummer for the vandals, who i believe drums for a number of other bands and musicians.

excuse my lack of names, as i dont' remember names of musicians, songs, or albums... rarely. and i'm much too lazy to actually look them up.
