Most talented drummer

[musicPhan#41]

in my book,

Danny Carey
Carter Beauford


they both blow my mind, and they are 2 drummers who are central in their bands. Few drummers come across to me as really musicians, but these two guys are.


i would agree that mike from dream theater is amazing, and neil pert also, but i'm not particularly into their style. (but they are INCREDIBLE)

 

[Sign Of The Fish Burger]

Yeah Carter goes without saying in my books

 

[KristianJ]

Admittedly I'm not attuned to all genres of drummers to be able to know the most talented, but in terms of ones that completely amaze me I'd have Carter Beauford and Mike Portnoy in my list for sure.

 

[Moros]

Lars Ulrich and Tommy Lee.

 

[BOJAX]

Victor "Moulty" Moulton of the Barbarians (60's garage band from Boston)great drummer despite his handicap (hook for a left hand) plays great strict rhythms. There was an autobiographical song by The Barbarians called "Moulty" The Canadian group The Band(robbie robertson, rick danko, richard manuel, garth hudson,) helped with the song.

 

[BourbonFromHeaven]

Steve Smith, the drummer for Journey!

 

[BourbonFromHeaven]

Buddy Rich, tho would be the all time greatest.

None of these young punks from the 80s thrash n death scene would be here without him.

Heres to Jazz

 

[The Fire Faerie]

Jimmy Chamberlain, of Smashing Pumpkins

(though he has his own band now, Jimmy Chamberlain Comlex)

 

[MoreInSorrow]

Then there's Lars Ulrich, he's not bad.

I opened this thread and told myself that if I saw this name in the thread, I'd have to jam sharp pencils in my eyes.

Thank you my friend, I'm now blind.

canada's neil peart of rush

 

[stargoat]

By talented do you mean most technically savvy or who has the most interesting drum parts? Also, should we consider a drummers live performance? Tommy Lee is amazing to watch live but is far from being a technical genius like a Buddy Rich or Carter Beauford.

Regardless, I've always been partial to Jimmy Chamberlains playing. As for being exciting to watch though he is kinda dull.

 

[DrGather]

I think Buddy Rich takes it...

Did Anyone say him?

From oldies I liked Alex Van Halen a lot... I don't know why...

 

[cygnusx1]

try this dudes drumming , he is up there with Neal Peart

 

[Stefania777]

My vote goes to Joey Jordison of Slipknot...that dude rocks!

Yikes, this is a hard question.
I like Mike Portnoy a lot (from Dream Theater)
Joey Jordison is defenitely talented.

 

[Stefania777]

try this dudes drumming , he is up there with Neal Peart

He may be the most creative drummer and that's why I choose him. Anyone can play the drums at a fast tempo and make it sound impressive, but when the drumming is so creative that it can take your five senses straight to the plot of the music, that's pretty impressive. I love this guy.

 

[Fangtastic]

My favorite drummer due to my parents jamming their music into my brain is Simon Kirk of bad Co. Just awesome. And there's Rush's drummer Neal Peart and Tommy Lee{MCRUE) for his cage antics,like alex van halen and john bonham too.theres alot of great drummers on this post.

Great thread!!



Sorry, but I find Mike Portnoy to be corny and a bit tasteless..

I love Jimmy Chamberlain

Danny Carey is decent

Carter is great…but I’ve OD on him

Not a slipknot fan, but Joey kills it

Buddy Rich = God

Dave Grohl always seems to be every non-drummers favorite.



I can’t believe no one mentioned Steve Gadd!!!



Anyone like Billy Ward??? My personal fav





But the best drummer out there goes to………………………











































me

 

[MetalBlade]

Neil Peart is a good one. One of my favorites is Scott Travis!

 

[SatKat]

Definately Joey Jordinson.

Soryy Mike P. :/

Someone should say Meg White, just for kicks.

 

[cygnusx1]

​

this guy is one of the best , and he used to work with the Beatles!​

Before Yes came into Alan White's life there were the Beatles.​
