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.

Tommy Aldridge has quite a resume. I believe he's listed in the uberlist post previously, however I must mention that I enjoyed his work on Pat Traver's Crash and Burn. Kudos to the engineer on that album as it is some of the cleanest recorded drumming I've heard on a rock album of that era.
I recently saw a couple of performances of the Richard Thompson Trio, his "folk-rock power trio." His drummer, Michael Jerome, who has been with him for quite a while, was truly remarkable.
I don't know about best, and he's played various musical genre's, but I've always appreciated Steve Gadd.
