Best Rock Drummers


I've seen most of them and by far the two that stand out are Neil Peart of Rush and Ceasar Z. of Golden Earring. For non-rock I would say it's a no brainer with Buddy Rich.

Drubin,

Dave Mattacks (Richard Thompson's usual drummer) is no slouch, either.

Marty
Erikminer, mentioned Billy Cobham. Man, can that man play! I remember swimming wind sprints with his beats in my head. That'll move ya!
How about Aynsley Dunbar?
He may not be a Rock god, but he's played with mucho people
since the early Sixties.
Should get some props for that...
I saw a show on TV a few months back that makes a convincing case for Ginger Baker. He certainly was one of the most offensive people I ever saw being interviewed.

What a nut case!

They mention that maybe he kept switching projects because he needed to keep moving creatively or maybe that his mental state did not allow him to stay in one group too long and his creative juices flowed more when he switched.
