musical drummers...who are they ???

Kenny Clark (Klook), Max Roach, Art Blakey, John Bonham (Led Zep)

I didn't see any mention of Corky laing (Mountain) man can he belt it out....also no disrespect to anybody who likes Neil Peart..I know we are talking rock music BUT....I feel to be a good or really good drummer, you have to be able to play more than one style...Have you seen the video of Neil Peart playing big band with the Buddy Rich band.....he quite frankly stinks...he cant do it...and it is on tape

Xiekitchen has some hot drummers, but consider Manu Katche, Terry Bozzio, Trilok Gurtu, Phil Collins, Ginger Baker has done some interesting stuff, Steve Gadd is "in the pocket" - the list goes on.

I've always found it hard to quantify questions as such, believing that you can't really compare a great jazz drummer to a great rock drummer, just can't be done. You can only say their either good or not. I don't think that Tony Williams could drum good punk like Topper Heading of the Clash. None of them can play the tabla like Zakir Hussain.

Neil Peart

You had to know the Rush fans were going to come out of the woodwork like roaches on this one. I used to hear this every other weekend when I was in highschool and college and was hanging out with the hippies.
