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.

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.
Drubin,

Dave Mattacks (Richard Thompson's usual drummer) is no slouch, either.
