Who's your favorite rock drummer? and why.

Bingo rules!

Ginger Baker and although not really a rock drummer, Billy Cobham is insane!

Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace
Because i like his nickname. He's a reggae drummer and one of the best drummers of the 'one drop' style of drumming.

eddie, nice job on the Ginger Baker call...

I'm not a Rush fan, but Neil Pert's pretty tough to beat...

Fish on...

Posted this link on a other board sometime back. I'm hoping it gets updated soon. Nicko Mcbrain should leap to #1

What about John Bonham? He gets my vote.. A little "Moby Dick"
anyone?

Richie Hayward. nuff said

There are a few that I like. I'll give Peart from Rush as being my favorite,with Terry Bozzio a close second.

Dale Crover from the Melvins. Any of you that know him or listen to them will know why.

Pete Cornet from Floater

Bingo has 'em all beat.

Some fan boy you are Irie, the dudes name was Bingle, not Bingo.
What's even more disturbing is the fact that I even know that.

Animal from the Muppets. Why? Why not?

At least he jammed against buddy rich in the infamous "drum battle" on the muppet show... Bingle was green with envy.... By the way, the band was called "Dr. Teeth & The Electric Mayhem" And knowing that is even MORE disturbing than my previous post..

How Gay is this ??? Spent the weekend in Nevada at an invitational Golf tourny ( We shot an 8 under 64 for 5th) Anyway, the weekend was free all around.. They gave my wife and I tickets to go see this old 80's band ToTo. Maybe 300 people total at the show and the drummer for that band was outstanding.. I was pretty impressed with the overall package.. those guys were tight for some old F*&kers.. The drummer and the Guitar player were really exceptional.

p.s back in the day the dude in Cheap Trick was pretty damn good.

No dogging intended, B-run, but people are surprised when old rock players are still tight after so many years but not when it's a bluesman. Seems like bluesmen don't hit their stride until they're over 50.

If it was the same lineup they've had for the last 15 years or so... you saw Simon Phillips on drums and Steve Lukather on guitar.

To say that these guys are just "old 80's rockers" is like saying Albert Einstein was just another high school dropout!

Phillips is one of THE best rock drummers EVER... and has played with some of the biggest bands around... not to mention all of the studio stuff he's done.

Steve Lukather is a guitar prodigy... no two ways about it!

In fact... ALL of the members of Toto are virtuosos on their respective instruments. They were all in-demand studio musicians before forming the band.

You're lucky B-Run... I wish I could have seen that show!

Vinnie Paul back in the Pantera days kicked major ass. Jon Bonham is a front runner. Have to agree with Stam on the Dave Grohl call. Another dude who rocks the hut is a guy named Abe Cunningham who plays the sticks for the Deftones.

Your right. It was Steve Lukather and Simon Phillips. It was probably the only thing my wife "has made me do" that I have ever enjoyed. I figured it would be like fingernails on a chalk board but was totally surprized. They had some Black chick back up singers and did a 10 min thing called Georgie Porgi that was too good. The wife knew all the stuff I knew zero... Note to self: When you take your wife to something "SHE" wants to do you get your brains screwed out later.

Neal Pert is O.K but RUSH has the SUCK turned up full blast. That singer dude is one ugly mother and his nasal falseto is more than I can handle.
