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.

Zappa always snagged the very best drummers. Dunbar was one, Bozzio was another, and don't forget Ralph Humphries.
Heyyyyy... got to give some to Chad Wackerman, Vinnie, Chester and Arthur Tripp!!...not laying claim to any "best" designations, but those guys banged skin on some high quality FZ stuff.
No mention of Mickey Hart or Bill Kreutzman? Hmmmm....Each of them individually is outstanding, together pretty amazing.
I just realized there are two pages of responses to this thread that go back to 2006. Someone else picked the same drummer with the same comment that I made (i.e. "...without
a doubt"). Also, I checked the date and noticed it was written on my birthday in 2006. Eerie!
