neil peart

Seriously, akascream. Seriously.

Rush fucking owns.

 

[BobbyRobby]

Hey, I believe in god, man. I've seen him, I've felt his power! He plays drums for Led Zeppelin and his name is John Bonham, baby!

I agree.

 

[Jim Bowie]

'Nick Andopolis, from Freaks & Geeks' is such a cool username.

 

[akascream]

Seriously, akascream. Seriously.

Rush fucking owns.

Sure, but this isn't a fucking owns thread.. this is a greatest drummer of all time thread. Next.

 

[AlphaSnake]

 

[Jim Bowie]

Sure, but this isn't a fucking owns thread.. this is a greatest drummer of all time thread. Next.

Yeah, but I agreed with theo. Did you miss me quoting it? Next, indeed.

Heh, good one. Not even Nirvana's best drummer.

peart > portnoy

if for no other reason than if there was no peart, there would be no portnoy

both are great though!

 

[iapetus]

We have a winner.

Also, you must visit http://www.renaulttv.co.uk/main.php and play the Thierry Henry/Drummer ad (select TV ADS and scroll down a couple to see it).

 

[moist]

I dig

Jimmy Chamberlain, Yoshiki, and for straight up speed Hellhammer

 

[Matlock]

Roger Taylor > *

 

[AlphaSnake]

Heh, good one. Not even Nirvana's best drummer.

Are you nuts? Before Grohl, Nirvana's drumming was so fucking bad.

 

[HooDoo]

Art Blakey.

[Ristamar]

IAWTP

 

[jett]

I agree.

I agree with your agreement.

Spoiler

I laugh at Dave Grohl.

 

[snaildog]

Drummer of my favourite band you say? Ringo Starr.

 

[Flynn]

My real answer is the guys in the documentary Keepin' Time.

Roy Porter, Earl Palmer, Paul Humphrey and James Gadson.

They banged out the beats that hip-hop came from.

 

[White Man]

MOE TUCKER!

Well, maybe not the best, but she got awesome mileage out of a shitty 3 piece kit.

Another personal favorite is the dude from Deerhoof. Or that guy from The Helio Sequence/Modest Mouse's latest album.

 

[Lambtron]

Claude Coleman from Ween. He hits the drums like a bastard. Got into a car crash two years ago, all banged up. "So I shattered my pelvis, fractured my jaw, had severe brain injuries, clotting of the brain. I had constant vertigo and dizziness for about six months. Then I was in a wheelchair for two months, after that I had to do nine months of rehab to regain my strength, and then came a period of cognitive therapy, started to relearn language skills, memory skills and how to be a nice guy." He's still rockin' like a hurricane, hitting the drums like a bastard.

And as with every other member of the band, a horribly underrated musician.

 

[shoplifter]

Buddy Rich

thread over

 

[Litigation Manuel]

Buddy Rich

thread over

DAMMIT! I was gonna post that! Dammit! You, my friend, are correct!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

the answer is Bonzo. You can close this thread now.

 

[moist]

Hellhammer made a necklace out of skull fragments from the lead singer after they found his dead body (they also took pictures of it for an album cover). He wins the hardcore drummer award.

 

[shoplifter]

Yeah, but those fuckers were nuts.

 

[moist]

The greatest part of that is that hellhammer was probably the closest one to normal.

 

[soakrates]

No mention of Nicholas Barker (Dimmu Borgir) or Gene Hoglan?

For shame.

 

[Blackace]

I don't know who is in second place after Bonzo.. please discuss

 

[moist]

Barker isn't with dimmu anymore

 

[Ferd]

Billy Cobham.

 

[ElyrionX]

Not a single mention of Yoshiki???

 

[BigJonsson]

JIMMY CHAMBERLAIN

 

[moist]

Not a single mention of Yoshiki???

I mentioned him in my first post

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Carter Beauford > *

 

[Manabanana]

Not a single mention of Yoshiki???

Hahahaha. Are you counting his piano drumming? *shudders*

 

[speedpop]

Bonzo and Yoshiki

Bonzo because of his sheer power and Led Zeppelin would be nothing without him, much like the other 3 band members

Yoshiki because he has close ties to Joe Hisaishi and Takeshi Kitano

 

[Cutley]

HELLHAMMER

 

[8bit]

Echo.

--

And for a serious answer, Cozy Powell.

--

In fact, fuck both of them, the answer is Gene Krupa.

 

[Teddman]

John Bonham of Led Zeppelin.

Other may play with more precision, but nobody played with more feeling or originality.

 

[megateto]

I was going wtf completely.. until I noticed you were calling John Bonham Bonzo.

He revolutionized the way drums had the microphone placed... and you should all check right now the solo track he has in Coda.
