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.

Seraphine has a new band called California Transport Authority (CTA - get it?). I saw them open locally for Taj Mahal. They were great and he was all over his kit. Their music was more like Chicago I than anything else I recall from that band. You might want to check them out.

Hey, can any of these guys actually swing? That's the real test.

Keith Moon for all his bombastic playing, always swung, no matter what. Ringo and Charlie Watts too. Those are the original big three; everyone else derived from them after the fact and borrowed hand-me-downs from those three guys.
Thanks Marty, did not know that, will do! Too slick by half on their choice of names though, lol.
Great list, guys! Two more that I'd like to include are Steve Gadd and Michael Derosier.
