You sir, have impeccable taste.

travis from blink 182. he is the image for punk rock artists.

and what does this guy think? link lol

yesss ?uestlove!!

Mike Portnoy, I saw dream theater in january, they were amazing. it was a 3 1/2 hour set of crazyness
Danny Carey (tool)
Virgil Donati (planet x, steve vai, plus heaps more)
Thomas Lang, i don't know much about this guy. i think he's a session drummer. a friend showed me a dvd of his, he's an insane drummer

yes i know its a lot of quotes but deal anyway as a die hard punk fan i gotta put my foot down on this one first of as stated bands like blink 182 and sum 41 are not punk lol and neither is the who though a cool band not punk secondly to say that a new punk band wouldn't have anything to write about politicaly is ignorant srry but it is seriously do you even watch the news XD thirdly to add some not extremely well known bands to the punk list you got black flag, the stooges, even the velvet underground (kinda), the dead kennedys, gbh, mdc, the exploited all good punk bands
and as far as the thread topic goes my favorite drummer is tim alexander of primus he might not be the fastest or have the most complicated riffs but he's got a truely unique style and is deffinatly not lacking in tallent

Travis Baker because i like rap and rock and he does rock remixes and also ?uestlove for his work with the Roots which is one of my favorite groups

I can't believe no one's mentioned Thomas Lang (Forgive me if I'm mistaken, I skim read.)
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer..._type=&aq=f

He has insane technical skills, his stick-playing alone is warrant enough for him to be considered pro.
Just watch him, please for the love of drums, he's a must see!

~J[m]ny)__!

Brandon Barnes definetly because what he does in the songs of Rise Against is just amazing!

yeah , some people go with popularity , and i guess they misslead best with ''popular''

i dont like liquid tention or dream theather but i must say they are top shape musicians, as for myself my favorite drummer is the one from emperor, trym . hes just amazingly skilled and brutal, my taste thats all..

oh and for joey from slipknot, well, he's good but, he does'nt belong in a best drummer list,

travis from blink has won several drumm constest, even jazz ones, hes great even if i dont like new blink. just the early Before enema of the state.

thats about it,

my favorite's drummer is Travis (coz' of the speed), dont' u guys heard 'bout the accident that happen to him?

what happened to him ? im interested, tell us more please

joey's great, i like the rev of a7x, fun to watch makes a few mistakes though, too much beer, and still's young.. but michael mcdollough of mudvayne's pro.. and yeah portnoy's godlike.. lol

Yeah, I saw a video of him recently and what you say is right, it's just insane. And yes, he has been mentioned but only briefly.




Hellhammer is just ridiculous.

I have to concur with Mr. Xylin here! John Bonham is definitely amoungst the two best drummers of all time;

he other I would have to say is Keith Moon, not only for the drumming in racks like my generation and who are you, but for his general nutiness

Also, u cant ignore the genius of Animal from the muppets!

terry bosio. he rules....and Frank Zappa rules!!

Definetly Frost and Tony Laureano.

Dave McClain of Machine Head

His tone is sooo thick and cuts through the music nicely, his accuracy is amazing and his technique is even more impressive.

Vinnie Paul of Pantera is not that technical but again his accuracy is pin point with super sharp precission timing.

Faves for me are Keith Moon (Who), John Bonham (Zeppelin), Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) and I've always thought a lot of punk drummers are good (classic, awesome punk, not all this pop-punk stuff )

I'd say Keith Moon or Travis Barker

Neil Peart - his technique is amazing and his kit is humongous heres a pic of it live

also i love slayers drum Dave Lombardo he's extremely fast and his beats flow very well

And Finally Buddy Rich his ability is just as good as Peart (if not better)

Inferno - Zbigniew Robert Promiński
Fast and furious

Travis from Blink 182 and Mike Portnoy from Dream Theatre... They have a great technique

saw blink live 3 times, Travis Barker <3 what a drummer. Best drummer iv seen live anyway

Chris Kontos is a great drummer. He was with Machine Head for their first album, then pissed off to play with a band called Il Nino I think...

Traitor.

Still an amazing drummer. Very fast and technical, pin point crisp accuracy and some of the most suiting drumming I have ever heard for metal.

Travis Barker

I'd probably have to go with Dominic Howard of Muse, really brilliant stuff that guy does. I highly recommend checking out the live versions of the following songs: Map of the Problematique, Assassin, Knights of Cydonia, Feeling Good, Hoodoo, City of Delusion, Stockholm Syndrome, Showbiz, I could go on and on with this list...

i think Shanonn Larkin from Godsmack and he has other side projects too has an amazing skill

That guy that plays for The mars Volta is really good. I like him.

I'd say Lopez and Axenrot are some of my favourites. As well as Frederik Ehmke and Thomen Stauch. Inferno from Behemoth isn't one of the best as far as technicality, but he does a really good job just writing fast, heavy drumming, so I like him a lot as well.

Shinya of Dir en Grey.

BELA B SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
moer then the hole crap ärtzte..


i think realy good drummers are

mike portnoy (dream theater)
neal peart (rush)
nicko mcbrian (iron maiden)

Questlove from The Roots

Inferno

MachineGun Smith

Travis Barker

Joey Jordison

the hair alone makes him awesome

Questlove is extremely awesome, but my vote goes to Jaleel Bunton of TV on the Radio for the show he puts on. Also has awesome hair. And he plays accordion.

Travis Barker actually ain't bad. wow.. must have been the songs that sucked

Dave Grohl get's my vote. Cuz he's more than a drummer - after Nirvana he started the Foo Fighters which are a band I like as well. And a few years ago he played drums in Queens of the Stone Age for a short while and it was as if he never stopped drumming.

- I don't know if anyone has already said this but that's my 2 cents worth anyway.

Morgan Rose is awesome (Sevendust)

And Danny Carey is really good too. (Tool) His cymbalwork is stunning. watch him here.

Dave Grohl is awesome too he played as Satan in Tenacious D and the Pick Of Destiny

Dave Grohl
Neal Pert
and of course, Chad Smith

I've recently discovered George Kollias from Nile, he does 200bpm+ blast beats with one foot. Also from listening to 1349 rather than just Satyricon I've found out how good Frost is.
I'd also like to put forward the late Vitek and his equally kickass replacement Krimh (Decapitated), both ridiculous.

Marco Minneman

Played in Racer X and Necrophagist.

Scott Travis, from Judas Priest. He's the lord!

Painkiller is probably the song which makes me a fan of him.

Number one favorite is so easy: John Bonham, of Led Zeppelin. What a beast.

Other favorites:

Keith Moon - The Who
Neil Peart - Rush
Mike Portney - Dream Theater
Jimmy Chamberlain - Smashing Pumpkins
Dave Grohl - Nirvana
Clive Bunker - Jethro Tull
Ginger Baker - Cream
Gavin Harrison - Porcupine Tree
Steven Drozd - The Flaming Lips
Ringo Starr - The Beatles
Matt Cameron - Soundgarden

Not bad, tsu.

I also really like Petter Karlsson from Therion (now Diablo Swing Orchestra).
