Greatest Drummer of all time?

[whonext360]

I was just wondering what others thought on the subject of " greatest drummer of all time?"

IMO it would have to be either Neil Peart or Keith Moon...

Neil more based on skill although Keith had skill but he was just crazy and mad fast and powerful on his drums and really got into it for proof look up "A quick one while he's away live at the rolling stones rock and roll circus," and see what I am talking about has to be one of the greatest live drum performances ever and he is entertaining...

 

[Wuss]

Ringo Star!!





























lol, just kidding, he sucks...
even lennon said that he wasn't very good...

 

[Toologist]

IMO...

It's either Neil Peart, John Bonham, or Danny Carey. I can't decide between these three.

 

[falcoX]

John Bonham is a ****ing beast

 

[Sandy]

Bob Bryar for the win.

 

[Meleeruler]

Neil Peart .

 

[Mr.Lombardi34]

The guy from Genesis (i dont know his name)

 

[Toologist]

The guy from Genesis (i dont know his name)

Phil Collins?

 

[plasmawisp6633]

for my genre, I think Danny Carey is my favorite.

Of all time, however, it's Buddy Rich.

Neil Peart is a legend as well

I would say Keith Moon. The drum solo in Don't Get Fooled Again is amazing.

 

[Kaddy]

I'm going to say Carl Palmer.

 

[Thrillhouse-vh.]

Vinnie Paul of Pantera, Neil Peart of Rush, and John Bonham of Led Zeppelin

 

[SuiteFox]

[Xsyven]

For how bad Blink 182 is, Travis Barker is actually really good.

 

[cF=)]

Mike Portnoy... come on guys !

 

[HAEMO_LACRIA]

Dominic Howard

 

[A-Laon]

Neil Peart.

 

[experiment111]

Ginger baker and art blakey are pretty notable guys when it comes to drumming

 

[kerploplesteesh]

excuse me for SP but Gene Krupa

 

[ToP CaT]

Neil Peart or John Bonham, gotta go with JB

 

[Sheep88]

Mike Portnoy... come on guys !

MIKE PORTNOY. Period.

 

[RichBrown]

Peart and Moon were influencial for their time and they paved the way for modern drummers. However, they couldn't hold up today against the likes of Mike Portnoy, Mike Mangini, Thomas Lang, or Dave Weckl.

hehe my first post in months... how long have i been a member here? XD

 

[Meta-Knight]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Lars Ulrich yet? He's an awesome drummer. Just listen to "One" by Metallica and you'll know why I think he's the best.

 

[plasmawisp6633]

One is a great song, it's still my favorite Metallica song of all time. The drumming is pretty tough on it, however, I don't hold Lars as one of the greatest of all time, because One is just about the prime of his performances. Many other Metallica songs are pretty basic in terms of drumming. What I'm saying is that I have heard a lot better, such as Mike Portnoy, or Danny Carey.

However, that doesn't change the fact that One is an awesome and legendary song.

 

[GREENLINKWORTHING]

best drummers are either Danny Carey. Dan from Architects or my mate Gain... there isnt a drum riff he cant play... spazzy as you like.... oh yeah and Lars is only a bit better than ****... he used to be **** and now hes a bit better..... worst musician in Metallica easy

 

[HAEMO_LACRIA]

You people don't get it it is Dominic Howard

 

[GREENLINKWORTHING]

hahah dom howard... you mean a member of team pretentious.... oooh i sing about stars and black holes so i must be intelligent & progressive... i live with drummers who can **** better beats than him.... saying that muse are tight live... but that solely does not a good drummer make

 

[HAEMO_LACRIA]

I hate you you *******. Muse got more talent in there **** than you in your body

 

[Ethan]

excuse me for SP but Gene Krupa

Great choice. However, as far as big band/swing drummers go, I'm going to have to stick with Chick Webb.

 

[demoncaterpie]

for my genre, I think Danny Carey is my favorite.

Of all time, however, it's Buddy Rich.

Neil Peart is a legend as well

I change my choice to Buddy Rich. That guy's a flippin animal!

 

[Bailey]

Blink 182 Rox. Def Joey Jordinson

 

[GREENLINKWORTHING]

I hate you you *******. Muse got more talent in there **** than you in your body

people who know nothing about intelligent music like muse. end of story and yes they probably do have more talent in their **** than me but then i never claimed to be talented. also supermassive black hole sounds like scissor sisters... congratulations scissor sisters fan

 

[leviathan_]

Buddy Rich. It's hard to find a better drummer : /, dead or alive.

 

[Dodongo]

i haven't read this topic, but I'm going to assume everyone means Danny Carey.

 

[Khanczar]

jesus HAEMO just shut up. You give muse and muse fans a bad name.

Muse is by far my favorite band but OLOLOLOLOL at dominic howard being the best drummer alive.

 

[Taco Head]

Neil Peart (Rush)


/thread

 

[REDRAGON]

Mike Portnoy
End of story



Check him out on youtube or just listen to his playing.

[saberhof]

Danny carey for me, he plays everything!. tool is too good. and the one from led zeppelin but i always forget his name!!!! agh john boham?...

 

[WFL]

Me and my brother have arguments about this all the time. I say Neil Peart and he says Keith Moon. He doesn't even know or heard any of Peart's drum solos or any Rush songs. I at least heard a lot of Keith Moon's stuff and in my opinion I like Peart better and think he is the better drummer.

Although Keith did knock over his bass drum while playing Teenage Wasteland at the end of a concert and that is pretty **** badass.

 

[HAEMO_LACRIA]

Watch showbiz by Muse on YouTube then for proof he is the best drummer
