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.

I didn't read the whole list but I saw no mention of  David Garibaldi of

 Tower Of Power; I did see Terry Bozzio listed, and having seen Zappa several times, I have to agree with that vote🎧

Terry Bozzio is an accomplished technician, and a great contributor to any band he's in.

Ian Paice isn't mentioned very often, but I think he's excellent, and he surely influenced many rock drummers.

Richie Hayward with Little Feat was a huge part of the band's sound. 

Cozy Powell with Jeff Beck Group.

Dallas Taylor with Manassas.
