| Post subject: | Your Top 5 Favorite Drummers |
I've mulled this question for a while. I've always been most of all a Zeppelin fan and partial to John Bonham, but lately I have come around to think that he wasn't the greatest, but is a close second. My pick for greatest drummer is Ringo Starr. All of the Beatles songs have a distinct character of perfection, and Ringo was instrumental to that. Plus, he could sing. I think one of the best songs he ever did was "It Don't Come Easy", a song given to him by George Harrison, where he played drums and sang great. He was flawless in keeping time, with his fills and tempo changes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emKEFXWk4Yc The rest: 2. John Bonham - Led Zeppelin 3. Keith Moon - the Who 4. Stewart Copeland - the Police 5. Ginger Baker - Cream Honorable Mention Bill Ward Neil Peart |

any love for that one-armed guy from def leppard? otherwise my goofy answer for this is, uhhh, i believe his name is dodo? when mouse on mars used to do tours around the turn of the millennium they'd have the 2 dudes who comprise mouse on mars set up with a moog synthesizer with 15 guitar pedals, and then the other dude would have some samplers/sequencers/etc.... but then they had a third guy, a drummer [who i believe was named dodo] who had a regular drum kit supplanted by like 4-6 electronic pads that could be assigned with any sound/sample/etc..... so then when they played all of their "hit" songs they'd do these extended live jam versions that would be 7-8mins+ and they'd all rock out, especially that drummer who could go off on not just traditional drumming but also whatever zany sounds they wanted to add to recreate the electronically-produced-beats. i saw mouse on mars do ^^^^that^^^^ setup back in 2001. suffice to say around 03-04 when i heard some new live show bootlegs and i heard these phenomenally awesome tracks/jams/etc i was beyond psyched for this tour making it to chicago. when it did i went over to the double door and was damn near twitching with anticipation to see them kill it..... but then just the two dudes came out with one laptop, i made some kind of "#TwoDudesOneLaptop <<< #TwoGirlsOneCup" joke..... and yeah i haven't been too worried about seeing mouse on mars for the last ~13+ years #NoDodoNoParty =/ |

The Mount Carmel High School library once owned a book which stated that the three best drummers "of all time" were Mitch Mitchell, Mick Fleetwood, and Nick Mason. Interesting list, but strange. |

Interesting list, but strange. It seemed like M Fleetwood was the perennial winner as best drummer in Playboy's annual music awards issue. |

The Pumpkins original drummer was damn good, Jimmy Chamberlain. Tonight, Tonight has to be one of the all-time greats. Or Disarm with the bells. |

I was kind of torn whether to go with Portnoy or Mangini...I can see either choice for different reasons. |

I would rather watch Keith Moon play drums than Jimi Hendrix play guitar. |
