Greatest Rock Drummers

I will not attempt to persuade anyone that a specific drummer is the best.   I will say that Terry Bozzio is worth hearing.   I first heard of him with the group, “Missing Persons”.  Later, he was playing with Frank Zappa.

It was when two great guitar slingers, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jeff Beck, came to town that I realized how good he is.   In my opinion, Bozzio’s solo with Jeff Beck stole the show.   He released a CD in 1998, “Drawing Circles”, which is his drumming only.

Carmen Appice is a killer drummer. My very first concert I went to was at the original Electric Factory in Philadelphia in the spring of 1968. Vanilla Fudge and Blood Sweat and Tears back to back.

One outstanding drummer that rarely gets mentioned, and it really ticks me off, is Corky Laing from the band Mountain. I saw him play in the early 70's at the West, Bruce and Laing concert in Seattle. Jack Bruce and Leslie West that night really kicked ass on their guitars.

bdp24: "I’m going to guess Steve Cham also considers Bonham a more inventive and musical drummer than Jim Gordon"

I have no idea as to what your supposition is based on. I like Jim Gordon very much. I like Levon Helm too. John Bonham left very deep tracks in the drum canon.
