Best Rock Drummers

For the most part the previous posts hit the nail on the head. There are so many great ones that everyone's going to have an opinion like belly buttons. Alan White (Yes) over Bruford, Copeland; Peart is incredible and plays like the Flash; Hendrix's band mate Mitch Mitchell; don't forget Buddy Miles; Bonham was awesome too. I think we tend to pick the drummers from bands we've listened to over the years. But there are many great drummers that I'm just not familiar with because I didn't listen to the particular group at all or enough. I grew up on groups like Yes, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Chicago, Santana, Pink Floyd, and later the Police and Rush. As much as I loved Chicago, I can't even remember their drummers name.

Tommy Lee of course..........Motly Crue and now Supernova

Weim boy, I doubt that you would make the Buddy Rich comment if you had ever seen him perform. Did you ever see him perform? Without any doubt, Rich was and will forever be the greatest. Simply untouchable!!!

Keith Moon.

Here's a interesting website that lists all the great drummers, both jazz and rock:
