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?

Good call Greg! Danny is a great and powerful talent. Perfect for that band and just explosive and original.
Michael Shrieve 1969 upstate NY. I was about 25 feet away from them when they did Soul Sacrifice.

Also Barry ‘Frosty’ Smith with Lee Michaels circa 1970.
Very cool Michael, Woodstock 1969 is beyond legendary, What else can be said?
I was reminded of what I so dislike about Bonham---his playing was so "literal", so un-poetic. It didn’t have any elegance, any grace. Almost rude! His bass drum triplets (one of the tricks he is known for) were played just to show he could do it, not to serve any higher purpose; they didn’t have anything to do with what anyone else was playing or singing, or to the song itself
@bdp24 ,
I'm a huge Bonham fan, and IMO, his style was perfect for LZ, but here is a side project of his featuring literal, heavy drumming, with unnecessary bass drum triplets. Very disappointing...

Also, John Bonham died 37 years ago, Sept. 25, 1980.
