Travis Barker can actually play...I was at their sound check in LA with Paul Wall and Travis is badass.

I favour Bill Ward from Black Sabbath.

[ryandenim]

i've always liked mike portnoy, but i def. think chris pennie is one of the better drummers around today.

he re-did aphex twin's "come to daddy" on drums and basically perfectly. he's essentially a drum machine.

Chris Pennie gives up some great drummer faces in that vid-- and he's chewing gum the entire time!

[wEstSidE]

omc says i have a strange obsession with this stupid machine...but i fukin luv SDS-V...

so RICHARD BURGESS.

[STC]

chad smith from the red hot chili peppers and umm joey jordison from slipknot.

[julianREE]

[coleslawyum]

ELVIN JONES is (was RIP) the MAN.

jeeeeeeez.

43, why "jeeeeeeez"?

Apparently Chad is really fucking stupid, like he couldn't write a check or spell real well or something.

I donno, my dad only talks about how stupid he was and how he "saved his life". He always says that he "dragged" chad to california and "introduced" him to anthony, but my dad is a drunk and tells a lot of bullshit. I read Anthony's book and there was no mention of my dad at all.

[aziz]

^^ Classic video right there..

[postman]

matt tong from bloc party isnt like one of those drummers with mad solos, but he's pretty good.

[mr fluffernutter]

[Tisswat]

Tim Alexander of Primus

keagan, you're my age right, 17-18 range? my dad's 10 years older than yours. are you an only child? and do you do drugs with your dad? cause that would be cool, but somewhat awkward too.

sorry, young fathers with kids relatively close to my age always like get me. its such a novelty to me for some reason. no offense or anything, its just funny to me.

[simcoo]

Carter Beauford

Travis Barker

Steve Gadd

Charlie Watts

[choice_genes]

No-one said ?uestlove yet?

Seconding Al Jackson Jr, his groove was tiiiight

Also, the guy that bumrushed Hendrix at woodstock and played congas the whole set unmiked.

[Chicken]

stewart copeland.

yes, from the police. the man barely ever repeats the same rhythmic phrase over in a song -- he seem to play by instinct. i once got to see him in a tiny venue playing with stanley clarke from chick corea and was one of the most amazing thing i've ever witnessed.

Everyone on John stanier's nuts, saw him play out again in Victoria Park yesterday.

Best pic I managed to catch.

[2000dB]

Great call, DDML.

I love Roy Haynes, Elvin, Max and all those guys a lot, obviously. I think Kenny Clark doesn't get enough enough recognition and so does Frankie Dunlop. Vernell Fournier is the probably the best with brushes.

I really need to buy myself another kit... haven't touched a kit seriously in so long damn music school killing my motivation.

Servo2000's Random Drum Factoids

Since I Don't Really Know What I'm Talking About

Chris Corsano makes some neat noises.

I'm named after the drummer from Deep Purple (Ian Paice).

Aa (Big A little a) are pretty killer live.

I just uploaded this random video of The Boredoms I found on my harddrive. I don't know anything about it or where it came from, but the drumming is sort of neat.

[ddohnggo]

yes, chris corsano! i forgot to add him to my list. i saw him when vampire belt played and it seriously blew my mind. brian chippendale's good too, but chris corsano's just better.

[Dick Danger]

Buddy Miles

[kyo]

Steve Jordan, funkiest drummer alive.

[indesertum]

Mike Portnoy

Gene Krupa

Chad Smith

and I know you're going to give me shit for this but

Ringo Starr

after all this isn't "The Best Drummers" thread right? Obviously not the most technically proficient, but you have to admit he makes damn good music.

[joey_formal]

dave grohl because he can make anything sound good. he is so sound in his technique but can go nuts too.

chad sexton (not a fan of 311, but he can laid it down, super groovy and owns the shit out his snare work)

travis barker is fucking way over rated.

chris pennie is whatever i feel over rated.

brain who took over primus from tim alexander, but then left. complete fucking weirdo.

good call by chicken, steward copeland is amazing.

thats all i can think of right now.
