Thing is there are great drummers and good band drummers. A great drummer is not necessarily going to play well with a particular band. I posted drummers that I like. I put Art Blakey, but I'm not really into Bebop as such. Rick Buckler is not the greatest drummer but he was great for the Jam.

First of you everyone you all forgot to mention Ringo Star.

My favourite is Larry Mullen Jr. From U2

Here is an example from an early song called Rejoice it is a clip from a U2 concert back in 1982

yeah flo rocks, i saw him live 3 times with LORD WORM when he came back, and man it rocked my world... i got to see them play NONE SO VILE~!

Keith moon or the drummer from Arcade Fire (I don't know his name)

whoever first played the drums on Procul Harem's A whiter shade of pale - a seminal (definition -original and influential - not the definition that belongs in the adult forum) work for me.



Michaelmas

Lars Ulrich-Metallica
Vinne Paul- Pantera, Damageplan and Hellyeah
Keith Moon-The who
Neil Peart-Rush
Chris Alder-Lamb of God
Drummer for Killswitch Engage

Keith Moon what a guy. An awesome eccentric mad man. Gotta love that guy.

I've often thought that drummers are the most talented members of many bands. I'd like to suggest Charlie Watts of The Rolling Stones and Alex Van Halen.

Sorry ringo star made me laugh a bit. I don't even think he would claim he was a good drummer. But like I said you only need the drummer fit the band.
