MC Prussian Posted 8 August 2017 Posted 8 August 2017 Buddy Rich for me. Speed, precision, timing, skill. A child prodigy at age 4. Unbelievable tekkers in today's lingo. Also managed to play through a set whilst suffering a heart attack once. But borrowed heavily from Gene Krupa. Then again, everybody did back in the day. Whom are your favourites?
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 8 August 2017 Posted 8 August 2017 I've no idea who the best is. But I know who the worst drummer ever is - Meg White from The White Stripes.
spacemunky Posted 8 August 2017 Posted 8 August 2017 Pretty hard to top Buddy and Gene. That's the Mount Rushmore of drumming. First drummer I heard as a teen growing up that made me want drums was Neil Peart of Rush. Also loved Keith Moon. Great drummer and one of the best characters in Rock history.
RobHawk Posted 9 August 2017 Posted 9 August 2017 In modern day terms, Mr Grohl has to be up there - His drumming on songs for the deaf was immense! Loved Keith Moon though - Ginger Baker and Mitch mitchell also well worthy of a mention
davieG Posted 9 August 2017 Posted 9 August 2017 I used to like Sandy Nelson in my teens. I don't know whether he was good or great. Had a big hit with this.
Mapperleyfox Posted 9 August 2017 Posted 9 August 2017 Reni from the Stone Roses. Close the thread...
TiffToff88 Posted 9 August 2017 Posted 9 August 2017 1. Kieth Moon 2. Derek Grant 3, Roger Taylor 4. Travis Barker 5. Dave Grohl
BrummieFOX Posted 9 August 2017 Posted 9 August 2017 Will never go down as a great by any stretch but I love the dummer in Bloc Party, Matt Tong. He was brilliant on Silent Alarm.
foxfanazer Posted 9 August 2017 Posted 9 August 2017 Not necessarily the best but my favourite is Travis Barker
ousefox Posted 9 August 2017 Posted 9 August 2017 If anybody hasn't seen the BBC4 documentary on Ginger Baker it is well worth hunting down. What a character.
KingsX Posted 9 August 2017 Posted 9 August 2017 15 hours ago, onekeithweller said: John Adams has sat in the top bleacher row for Cleveland Indians games since 1973. That’s about 3500 games; he has only missed about 40. Keep at it Jobber! But you ain't a legend until you are a bobblehead doll
boots60 Posted 9 August 2017 Posted 9 August 2017 There has not been nor will ever be a better drummer than Keith Moon.
