Best Drummer that's ever lived ...

[Tom Bombadil]

Gene Krupa - no contest

 

[KPTF]

Stephen Morris
Rick Buckler
Topper Headon


Roger Taylor was pretty useful too.

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

Sir Phil Collins.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Ahah I like all of their hits. Especially 'Bish-bosh the drumming song'.

Their interpretation of 'Night of the Living Bassheads' is second to none.

Except the original of course.

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Dokter Avalanche of The Sisters of Mercy fame.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Another vote for Cozy Powell

 

[Parson Henry]

I performed the original at my X-factor audition. Awesome.

[Juan Albion]

Ssssshhhhhh, don't tell everyone, but one of the best drummers is actually a WOMAN!

I give you Sheila E. One of the best I've ever seen, for sure.

 

[Stinkers Bridge]

For more modern day drumming fellows, you have to go a long way to better Rob Hirst, formerly of Midnight Oil.

 

[Dave the OAP]

That is FANTASTIC!

laura and Bex were originally in 6th Hove Scouts marching band and although the drum section was never as good as this, they were absolutely superb ( they waved the flags n stuff).

there are some extremely talented youngsters out there performing this sort of stuff .

If only the Albion would get Southern Aurora ( brighton)or Senetors( eastleigh) ( they appeared in the Gwen Stefani song on TOTP) to perform before a game or at half time. you wouldnt believe how good these peopel are.

Not really only Mark Cross.

[Trufflehound]

Catherine Zeta Jones...

...fabulous set of bongos. I bet she plays them all the time when Michael's not about.

 

[scooter1]

Steve White

Chad Smith

Dave Grohl are all great contenders, but for me there is only 1

Keith Moon!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Not sure about the BEST, but certainly the COOLEST drummer I ever saw was Clem Burke out of Blondie. Once saw him bounce his drumstick off the snare drum, send it spinning about twenty feet in the air and then catch it on the way down without missing a beat!
