Uh, Brian May plays the guitar, mate. Roger Taylor is Queen's drummer.

Shenlong · 7th September 2003, 01:10

Wrong thread, because of that case...

caitcid · 7th September 2003, 06:16

Ringo Starr is my favorite drummer.

zootm · 7th September 2003, 06:50

Danny Carey from Tool, neil peart from rush (who is probably going on for best drummer in the world), the guy from the berserker (who is the fastest drummer in the world, iirc) and the guy from SikTh (for some neat rhythms on the new album).

probably way more worth note, though.

DJ Egg · 7th September 2003, 20:47

Billy Cobham (Jazz/Rock legend)
Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson, etc)
Michael Shrieve (Santana)
Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Killing Joke, QOTSA, Foo Fighters)
Pierre Moerlen (Gong)
Sly Dunbar (Sly & Robbie)
John Maher (Buzzcocks)
Bill Ward (Black Sabbath)
Neil Peart (Rush)
Jaki Leibezeit (Can)
Jon Hiseman (Colosseum, etc)
Ginger Baker (Cream, Hawkwind, etc)
Style Scott (Roots Radics, Dub Syndicate, African Head Charge)
Budgie (Siouxsie, Creatures)

Also: Keith Moon, Mitch Mitchell (Hendrix), Carl Palmer (ELP)

And definitely Zappa's drummers, ooh yeah, for sure!
Though, wasn't it Terry Bozzio?
Also Vinnie Colaiuta . . .

corkhead0 · 7th September 2003, 23:34

John Bonham (sp?) from Led Zeppelin.
Neil Peart from Rush.
Bill Ward from Black Sabbath (except for the opening on Iron Man).
The drummer from Tool.
The drummer from The Tea Party.
The drummer from Fear Factory.

Merlin · 7th September 2003, 23:50

Bonzo from Led Zep, yeah.

laz · 8th September 2003, 03:48

Danny Carey, Tool
He is just soo damn talented, it is amazing, but that is true with every member of tool.

But I dont know too many of the drumbers, and I dont know enough about it to really say if some bands have a good drumber or a bad one. Most of them all sound the same, with a few exeptions listed here.

FesterHead · 9th September 2003, 08:31

Neil Peart
Buddy Rich
Bill Bruford
Michael Giles
Todd Nance
Gregg Bisonette

taylormemer · 9th September 2003, 11:13

Danny Carey - Tool
Led Zeppelin drummer
Neil Peart - Rush
Dave Lombardo - Slayer

I agree that Dave Grohl is one of the greatest drummers of all time, but he does NOT play drums for the Foo Fighters. He plays guitar. The Foo Fighters' drummer is Taylor Hawkins, also very good.

[edit]
can't be arsed to make a new post . . . yeah, I knew that, but he's in the Foo Fighters, so I included them in the brackets without even thinking, lol, plus see zootm's post below, ooh wheeeee - DJ Egg

ihatejelly0 · 11th September 2003, 03:20

Chad Sexton from 311 is great
Tim "Herb" Alexander from Primus is awesome

actually, on their first album, dave grohl plays all the instruments. i think he recorded the drum tracks for some of the other ones (maybe) too.

mikeromanu · 14th September 2003, 01:10

5. anyone willing too utilize the double bass in a good way.

k_rock923 · 27th September 2003, 02:34

metallicas drummer is lars ulrich. hes sick

fish · 1st October 2003, 02:25

Ulrich on Metallica's new album is almost indistuingishable from any other shitty nü-metal drummer of late.

I'd much rather listem to his older stuff, Enter Sandman and Sanitarium, to name a couple.

I also like John Bonham and Jon Fishman of Phish.
I guess I'm a hypocrite though to say that I can't get enough of Travis Barker on the Transplants' album, though...

I also like the band Cake and their drummer. I have a very, um, diverse, idea of good music.

k_rock923 · 1st October 2003, 19:46

ulrich plays drums that sound like tin cans on St. Anger. He had it specially made for the album and he turned it off for some songs. he was playing double bass before a lot of people on the old stuff though.

NJK · 1st October 2003, 19:54

technical drummer -Phil collins

best ever according to my taste -Ginger Baker (cream)
-John Bonham (zeppelin)

marvinbarcelona · 1st October 2003, 23:39

Got to be Philly Joe Jones

The man played with everybody. Miles Davis thought he was the besg drummer ever....and thats good enough for me.

Mike H. · 2nd October 2003, 02:21

The drummer from Jimi Hendrix's band, whatever his name is.

Shenlong · 2nd November 2003, 21:05

John Dolmayan (System Of A Down), Lars Ulrich (Metallica) and Neil Peart (Rush) are some of my all-time favorites...

Of course, no one should also forget Danny Carey from Tool either...

fwgx · 2nd November 2003, 21:11

Definatly Mitch Mitchel, Dave Grohl (sp?) and, hmmmmm I dunno, don't usually listen to the dumming myself, more of a guitar fan.

marvinbarcelona · 2nd November 2003, 21:35

Motley Crews Tommy Lee was performing drum solos upside down 15 years or so ago....not that I ever, ever went to a concert owned a cd....ohon, not me!

That would be Neil Peart, who in my opinion is one of the greatest drummers ever! He isn't called "The Professor on the Drum Kit" for nothing!

Xerxes · 5th November 2003, 09:19

In the province of Drums, I would say the entire KOTO ensemble from Japan is my favorite.

http://www.kodo.or.jp/

In their performance they use series of giant O-Daiko drums which are possibly the largest traditional drums ever. Usually taking several years for a specialized craftsman to create, the sound resembles an earthquake- no bass enhancement required.

I'd like to see Tommy Lee try his hand at THAT.

The Japanese always put their all into anything they do, so the drumming is always visually very interesting- three people can be in the middle of a circle of drums, pounding out a rhythm while juggling drumsticks with each other. True virtuosity.

Cylob · 5th November 2003, 09:29

That's one drum!!! But isn't Japan also the home of:

The Casio RZ-1. The perfect drummer, it doesn't need its own roadie.
