MusicManiac Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 (edited) Who's the greatest drummer of all time from any genre in your opinion? If the drummer's name is not above. Post it.

whiterasta Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I recognize only about 4 of the people you listed MM, but my pick would be Mitch Mitchell, the drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicManiac Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 (edited) Awesome choice. Mitch Mitchell was on my list and he's voided second from last. I'll get IC to fix it. I love Van Halen, Bonham, Collins but I gotta go with Neal Peart from Rush. Edited September 23, 2005 by MusicManiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Neil Peart from Rush is definitely a favorite of mine, but I find one omission very bizarre. When I hear "greatest drummer of all time" if there is one name that I hear more than John Bohnam it's Keith Moon. What the fuck? Why no Keith Moon? I mean, I think Mitch Mitchell took Keith's own style to a new level in 1967, but Keith invented that erratic style, and reraised the bar in 1971. Nobody did drum fills like him. That said, my vote actually goes to Electric Mayhem's own.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicManiac Posted September 24, 2005 Author Share Posted September 24, 2005 Good call my friend. On two levels. Yeah I took like a random list of like 50 drummers and could only post 20 in the actual poll. Keith Moon beats the skins like there's no tommorow... and as far as Animal goes from EM...well...you know where I stand on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deacon Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I went with Terry Bozzio from who was there but I'm quite disappointed by the omission of Danny Carey, Chris Pennie and John Theodore. Lars Ulrich shouldn't be placed among those people also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Well, Lars may eat out his own ass everytime he opens his mouth, but that wirey rat can drum like a mother fucker. The drumming on Master of Puppets is what made that album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jont Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I don't like to get too technical with my music apart from knowing that what I listen to rocks and mall punk sucks. But I think Mark Trombino's licks on this record would be considered good. http://www.epitonic.com/files/reg/songs/mp...Jehu-Caress.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicManiac Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) I downloaded it and listened to it Jont. He certainly is very good and that song is quite good as well. - Rapid and clear for sure.- Here's some links for a couple of off the hook solos...

MusicManiac Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Gotta add Joey Kramer to this list. After the 4th of July solo in town he did. This man is a god on the skins. Joey Kramer - Aerosmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm with jax.... oddly enough, travis barker isnt there.... fair enough, he's with a terrible band, but he's an amazing drummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Jan Axel Blomberg. "Hellhammer" he wears those huge boots to slow himself down, if he didnt wear them, he would play so fast everyone in the room would die Shoutout to Grohl. His band might be boring, hollow and irrelevant since the mid-90's, but he's a fucking beast on the drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortiis558 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I don't know whart criteria are being used to judge who is a better drummer than another, but I will just leave this here...btw the best drummer in the world is Hellhammer...it's a fact go look it up.

Mortiis558 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 To comment on Logans post as I didn't see it before I posted, Hellhammer is not JUST a blastbeat drummer. He can do jazz, hip-hop, other types of drumming. I don't know how well these would be accepted as compared to some of the "greats" of today, but he isn't just a dude who sits and practices going as fast as he can all the time. He has technique. He can also do one handed toms rolls and fills with his eyes closed. And Grohl was a fucking machine. He was clean, spot on and as close to perfect as you can get without being a drum machine. I had nothing but love for him until he decided he would be a better singer. Then there is this guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benz Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Voted Lars Ulrich. Biggest Douche also. I regret it though, and wish Mick Fleetwood were up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortiis558 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 So for the people who are still around to reply, what makes a good drummer? Is it skill in playing, technique, originality, timing or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 So for the people who are still around to reply, what makes a good drummer?. . . Jack White's semen b/c Meg White is the greatest drummer of all time. All. Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
