TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Stolen from a Smashing Pumpkins board (thus the focus on Jimmy Chamberlin)1 John Bonham2 Keith Moon3 Danny Carey4 Neil Peart5 Jimmy Chamberlin6 Buddy Rich7 Rick Allen8 Carl Palmer9 Gene Krupa10 Phil CollinsAs The Smashing Pumpkins drummer, Jimmy Chamberlin has had to deal with the walking ego that is Billy Corgan for 20 years. But he has also had to compete with him musically, bringing his jazz background into the Pumpkins heavy, melancholic sound. He is renowned for his lightning quick hands as well as his incorporation of different styles into the rock arena. A true legend of the sticks.Thoughts on the list? I don't recognise all the names on it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'd rate Keith Moon and Buddy Rich above John Bonham, but I suppose everyone's idea of an amazing drummer would be especially different.The unrecognizable ones are probably the best. Jut sitting there... nice and quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I know all but two of them. Wee Phat Phil is a decent drummer, but tends to get on these list on the basis popularity.My list....1. Neil Peart (Rush)2. Ian Paice (Purple)3. John Bonhan (Zep)4. Tommy Aldridge (Everybody!)5. Ted McKenna (SAHB, MSG)6, Billy Cobham (Miles Davis)7. Buddy Rich (dah ken)8. Keith Moon (The 'Oo)9. Woody Woodmansey (Spiders From Mars)10. Brian Downey (Thin Lizzy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I'm not a big drummer appreciator (although they're lovely guys!!!!!), but I like....Terry Cox (Pentangle etc)Laura (Shop Assistants)Ringo Starr (simple but effective)Mo Tucker (Velvet U'ground)Morris Pertor even Steve Took (Tyrannosaurus Rex)I like 'em basic or 'percussivy' , and not doing solos for an hour and a half.Least fave drum things....'Toad' by Cream.'Moby Dick' by Zeppelinanything by Gene Krupa (sp?) or Buddy Rich!For some reason Robert Wyatt escapes all criticism from me....I love him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Least fave drum things....'Toad' by CreamBonham solo for ZeoppelinDrum solos are possibly the the most tedious of solos. I'm not really a fan of guitar solos to be honest... You can imagine non musicians wondering when the singer is going to come in again.

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 this is a rubbish thread, every drummer here is a rock drummer, and people will only put the drummers in their favourite bands...awful.ps keith moon over john bonham, more interesting guy and pioneered the style that bonham was just carrying along nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stax Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Drummers are rubbish!Originality and keeping it solid, but fluid, over technical flashiness for me any day...No names to mention and I have never had a fave drummer. Different genres and all that. Some wicked DnB drummers out there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I'd agree with 'Solid but fluid' I quite like Budgie's drumming (although I'm not a big fan of most of the bands he's worked with)...esp on the Slits version of 'Heard it through the grapevine'.

Metal_Hamster Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Id stick Vinnie Caliutta and Liberty DeVitto in there, and how did Rick Allen get on the list?Rick probably got on the list for being a great drummer, eventhough according to some knobs he's not great cause A. he lost his arm B. Plays in def leppard. Look up his videos on youtube and you'll notice the guy can play twice as good on drums then most of the drums out there.

Alan Cynic Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I saw him when he had 2 arms...he was OK I suppose. Maybe all drummers should have an arm removed to keep them from overdoing it?????Or play with an arm strapped to their side?Or arms only?

Budgie!!!!!!!! Now he would be up there as a fave drummer (mainly the Banshees stuff) if I wasn't getting forgetful in my advancing years...A great deal of stuff in the Tom Waits collection is fab...

A little less drastic. Playing a three piece is great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drummerboy Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 top 10 drummersok guys well here is my top ten drummers!number 1 has to be John Bonham. Along side Buddy Ritch i think he has to be the most influential drummer of all time as just about everyone has taken something from his style!1. John "Bonzo" Bonham (Zep)2. Ian Paice (Deep Purple)3. Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree)4. Mark Mondesir (Independant)5. Phill Collins 6. Steve White (Pual Weller but now has left him)7. Dennis Chambers8. Dave Weckl9. Simon Phillips (Toto)10. Buddy Ritch (Lazz legand)For all you drummers out there check out DRUMMERWORLD - The World of Drummers and Drums its probally the best website for drummers. Also check out Mike Dolbear DRUMS as thats an ace site as well. If no one has heard of my 3rd choice Gavin Harrison then check him out on drummerworld as he is one of the most amazing drummers of all time!! his timing will blow your mind lol!

TheTickingTime-Bomb Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Most of those drummers are quite poor in my book.What about the guy from Primus - Brain?Many of Zappas drummers had great unconventional fills and grooves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 My favourite drummers:1. Jim Keltner (Ry Cooder etc.)2. Victor DeLorenzo (Violent Femmes)3. Keith Moon4. Ringo Starr5. Gabe Serbian (The Locust) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Tell you who is a really underrated drummer. Tre Cool from Green Day. I'm not a huge Green Day fan or anything, but watch some of their live performances, especially of their earlier faster stuff, that boy can really play some.

Phil Collins always generates a bit of controversy, but the rest are a veritable who's who of the world's most decorated drummers. Might not be your cup of tea, but their ability is absolutely unquestionable.And Brain wasn't a patch on the original and best Primus drummer, Tim 'Herb' Alexander.
