In the spirit of recent list threads: Top 3 Drummers

[DangerAardvark]

1)Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience)

2)Bill ward (Black Sabbath)

3)Ginger Baker (Cream)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSZgFYy5eLI

The version of War Pigs in the Sabbath clip outstrips the studio version IMO. Bill Ward is just so much more dynamic and Ozzy sounds great.

The Cream clip is crappy quality but I wanted one of Baker in his prime.

Travis Barker from Blink-182 is pretty good. Dumpweed, starts about 30 seconds into it.

My son recently disovered rush. One of his first comments was " OMG. That drummer " a few minutes later it was " who plays the bass?" After the song it was " I want those guys in my band "

No particular order:

Neil Peart of Rush

John Bonham of Zepplin

Danny Carey of Tool

Mike Portnoy suspiciously absent from your list

Barker isn't bad i'll agree, but fast != good

 

[rocadelpunk]

nobody mentioned gene krupa? Only one person mentioned buddy rich?

The hell is wrong with you people.

 

[KillerCharlie]

Buddy Rich definitely needs to be there - he was better than Peart.

 

[Dedpuhl]

Peart, Portnoy, Moon
