For me, it will always be the Groovemeister himself: Jeff Porcaro.
Although he is already dead for fifteen years, he was the best. link
I just love this groove.
One of the best drummers I've ever heard is Neil Peart, he is amazing.
I love Mike Portnoy too.
Then I'd say... Jeff Porcaro, yeah. Bill Brufford, Alan White, Jeremy Colson, Dave Weckl *bows*
I love Roger's drumms arrangements too.
Bonzo seemed to be an amazing drummer too. The guy who plays drums for my band is a big fan of him and he told me a lot of things about Bonzo's playing and he also explained a lot of his fills. The guy's much more than just "a guy who beats the shit out of the drum".
1. Roger Taylor is very average as a drummer.. I know it's hard to understand for people who are Queen obsessed.
2. Technically, John Bonham and Stewart Copeland (The Police) are probably the best.
3. If I had to choose I'd say John Bonham or Keith Moon.
Put it this way: Buddy Rich is the one and only drummer to ever exist that doesn't bore me to death with lengthy (or even short) drum solos. Buddy Rich was to drumming what Freddie Mercury was to singing - something never seen before, and never to be seen again.
