top 3 in what, musicality, technical ability, drop dead sexiness, penis size?

notable mentions for me: chad smith, nick mason

Travis Baker IS pretty good but i'd rather not listen to his music

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

I agree fast != good, but you can't tell me after watching that video that Barker doesn't kick ass. Granted the drums weren't real technical but he pounds the fsck out of them, does it fast as hell, and is spot on the whole time. He's one talented dude.

I can't really say anything about the other guys mentioned in this thread... I've heard the names before of course but don't listen to any of those bands. I'm not saying Barker is better than them, just putting another name out there.

I think barker's problem is he's not gonna get any respect on this board for playing in that band.

I was impressed with Barker when +44 was on Letterman. Barker had a cast on his right wrist and played Def Leppard style but with his left hand. That's pretty hard to do. He has talent but he's probably not in the top 50.

Not as well known but maybe the best, Mel Taylor.
