I really think this is a tough question. How does one judge a drummer? Technical ability, creativity, feel, unique ability/quality?
Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
Quantity of arms? Who knows?Originally Posted by Guisslapp
The same way the BCS champion is picked. What people think.
I hate BS polls like this. Each of those drummers is unique and belong on a tier. To rank them, does them no justice
Neal Peart, Keith Moon, Ginger Baker, and John Bonham were all great, but too different to rank.
In terms of influence, shouldn't Buddy Rich be higher than any of those?
I refuse to vote. Rename the poll "Favorite Drummer".
Alright I'll change it. How do you edit a poll?
Don't change it for me, I'm just an a$$hole.
You just got some major GREEN -
Also, Ringo Starr has been UNDERRATED as a drummer and the different techniques he developed with the Beatles while using a very standard set -
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
MY submission; Tim "Herb" Alexander

(if you have 10 minutes... this is AWESOME.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqbBv...eature=related
Tool guy is pretty good. Always loved Carter from DMB.
Other. the dude from 39 Stoneybridge. What was his name?
Even though I'm not a big fan of today's "punk" music, their drummers also have some pretty amazingly complex beats, and have nascar-type speed.
There is only one Greatest Drummer and he left this plant. His name was Buddy Rich.
It's not the size of the kit, it's how you beat the skins.

I think Neil Peart is the best drummer because he makes drums more of an instrument than just a beat-keeper. I could sit and listen to his solos for hours on end... very entertaining and awe-inspiring. The stamina!
He is rock's version of Buddy Rich.
^I would say the same thing about Danny Carey. If you like polyrhythms, I can't think of anyone more enjoyable to listen too. The drummer for Meshuggah is also very talented.
