Greatest Rock Drummers


Given the subject line many names come to mind such as  Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Phil Collins and Carl Palmer but, is Neil Peart the greatest rock drummer of all time?

Ian Paice of Deep Purple, Ginger Baker for his jazz flavored rock style. Travis Barker of Blink 182. Keith Moon, although the Who said he was great playing Who songs, but could not play anything else, I love his fills and rythm .
Of course Neil Peart.
IMO to answer your question falaconquest, no he is not. There are just to many techniques/styles in drumming for one single drummer to be considered better than all the others.

And now for something completely different;

There is sizzle and there is steak...one mention of Steve Gadd, but no mentions of Bernard Purdie who can include Jeff Beck, Steely Dan, The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, etc on his resume. Spent a wonderful evening at Shanghai Jazz in NJ sitting 20 feet away from Mssr Purdie and it was one night I'll not soon forget. Honorable mention to Steve Jordan, whom we saw a month or so ago with John Mayer. Not a lead drummer like Moonie or Mitch Mitchell, but, like Ferrone, a highly nuanced percussion machine that can turn the beat inside out and back again if need be and still remain musical.
Steve Gadd, without question. Rock, Jazz, you name it. Incredible range of great performances with many many performers.
Phil Selway of Radiohead. jazzy polyrhythmic madness. phenomenal drummer he is.
