You named them all :frowning: I especially like Neil Peart. Even though i probably spelled his name wrong. Basically anyone who makes the drums into an instrument and not just a tempo keeper.

Jimmy Chamberlin, Jimmy Chamberlin, and Jimmy Chamberlin. :smiley:

Buddy Rich!

Nope you got it right.

I suppose people here donā€™t know of inferno from behemoth then. Or vitek from decapitated. Heā€™s my favorite, even if he died in 2008 on my birthday, heā€™s a God for metal drummers. Inferno is as well, because he has a melodic speed, not a noisy speed.

I also think Stewart Copeland is better than Neil, just due to the size of their sets and that Stewart is a better percussionist and is older. I am so happy I saw the police on their last tour years ago.

I havenā€™t got too into metal drummers, though I have a huge respect for the style of drumming. I was watching a richard christy (charred walls of the damned) studio video recently, pretty great. slipknotā€™s drummer is very talented though Iā€™m not too into their music as a whole.

If you count Korn then David Silveria was excellent. Then of course terry bozzio is fantastic as well. Though Iā€™m more familiar with his work with Zappa being I didnā€™t really follow Kornā€™s work much after 2005 or so, once their guitarist left.

They are so different stylistically Iā€™m not sure itā€™s possible to say one is better than the other.

Thatā€™s true, But Seeing Copeland live for the last time with Sting and Andy made me happy, and he really is amazing. I love all sorts of Genres of rock/metal, so I can appreciate any kind of talent.
