Im not at all saying hes the best drummer ,even though some people think so, but being Eric Carr from KISS was mentioned and in the poll, im surprised nobody mentioned Peter Criss at all.

Im still waiting for someone to say Little Ricky, from I Love Lucy....lol.

Some good drummers on this list that's for sure. I voted for John Bonham. Ginger Baker and Carl Palmer would be a close second/third for me...Bruford, Beauford and Moon are great as well. whew! It's too hard to decide...

Mike Portnoy! The man is incredible. I am surprised he has so few votes. But I would put him and Neil Pert at the top.

 

[manofmathematics]

Not comparing to the list...but Dave Abbruzzese's work on Pearl Jam's Vs. and Vitalogy albums is rather exceptional.

Gene Krupa.

 

[immtbiker]

Gene Krupa...oh yeah! But that's real time jazz with no rock roots at all, no?

 

[ingwe]

Gene Krupa was a rocker! In those days it was called "Swing." ;p (flames to /dev/nul please)

Micky Hart

I'm going to have to go with Copeland here. I'm thinking intro to "Walking on the Moon"... oh yeah. Also with Anastasio and Claypool on the Oysterhead disc. He has feel, sound, creativity AND chops.

Bonham and Mitchell are passable for sure!

Here is how John Bonham and Lars Ulrich did on this poll.

See you on the

John Bonham's

Side of the Moon

(but not Keith Moon's Side of the Moon) - Ha, ha, ha, ...

I voted for Neil Peart, but I'm surprised at the lack of love for Terry Bozzio. I'd throw him in there with anyone.

 

[ZepFloyd]

bonham, hands down...i just read a thunder of drums....bonham uses so many styles of playing, its ridiculous. hes so technical when you really look at what he does

 

[SiriuslyCold]

What, no Gavin Harrison?

 

[yashicaman]

It was a toss up between Pete Best, Ringer Starr, and Terry Bozzio. I give it to Terry Bozzio (although Ringo Starr almost won it by a nose).

How about Cozy Powell?? damn
