John Bonham--Zep Mike Portnoy--Dream Theater Vinnie Paul--Pantra, Hell Yeah, Damageplan, Rebel Meets Rebel... Neil Peart--Rush
ummm i'd have to say "vadrum" off of youtube, hes insane, seriously, no joke xD, other than that avenged sevenfold's drummer is awesome also
vadrum is sick. but the best drummer of all time was buddy rich. thats not my opinion thats a fact. best living drummer is steve gadd. also a fact
I'd have to say that Keith Moon is the archetype of great drummers. I'm not really into drums so much, but he's definitely my favorite.
I don't know really that much about drummers in bands, but I guess my favorite would be Shannon Larkin of Godsmack, he really kicks ass and sometimes does a drum showdown with the band's lead singer, Sully, and boy do they make one heck of drum solos, one good video of his talents is in the music video of the song "Straight out of Line", I don't remember the name of the video of the drum showdown though .
ShaZam! John Bonham by far. Most of his songs look simple, But I but they're impossible to replicate. Second would be Travis Barker.
I don't really have one favorite drummer. Here's a few that I like, though: Anders Jivarp from Dark Tranquility Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater Joey Jordison from Slipknot Vinnie Paul from Pantera and Hellyeah Justin Foley from Killswitch Engage
Llan Rubin, of lostprophets, and unfortunately soon to be of Nine inch nails. He's got nothing on some of the other drummers mentioned, but he's still my favourite. and athough I hate RATM, Brad Wilk is a very good drummer.
I agree with what this guy said, but including slipknot's drummer, Joey Jordison, Metallica's Drummer, Lars Ulrich, and Trigger the Bloodshed's drummer. I don’t know his name but he’s mental, like he’s got 4 arms and 3 legs or something.
Rick Allen is a pretty sweet drummer, but my favorite is Joey Jordison. Anyone one that can drum like that is just awsome. link related: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RRq9H0XWXs
I like Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater, I'd probably say hes my favourite drummer at the mo'. But John Dolmayan from SOAD is a great drummer too. I also agree with everyone that said John Bonham or Keith Moon. BTW, to anyone that has said Travis Barker is a good drummer, he isn't. Really.
The Two best are probably: Buddy Rich at least he has some tune to his solos, and when he does them it just looks so effortless and classic. And Neil Peart (Rush) as with Buddy Rich, he has very good tune and music to his solos, same as it just looks like a walk in the park when he does complex and complicated drum solos. Joey Jordison (Slipknot) is an insane drummer, he might not have much rhythm , but because he's a heavy metal drummer that really doesnt matter because it's how their meant to sound anyway, but god he's fast. Incredible drummer Or my other favourite is Travis Barker (Blink-182) , he might not be the best, but hes the drummer of my 2nd favourite band, so I guess I kinda should say him ;P Over all, I think Neil Peart is the best drummer of all time.
