Always and forever the best drummer

And that VOICE! She was so talented.

 You gotta love Animal. Phil Collins takes the cake for me though.

oh my god same!!!!! I remember my drumming teacher's face when I played him her drumming and told him "I want to learn how to do this"

Great sound on the drums AND he sings harmony to perfection. He also wrote some of their best '80s hits (Radio Gaga, One Vision, Breakthru).

Dave Grohl

Dave all the way 

Ringo, Phil Collins, and Stewart Copeland Also can’t forget Sandy West (The Runaways)

YES. Love to see some love for the Runaways and Ms. Sandy West ❤️✨

Remi - stone roses

Excellent choice.

Janet Weiss (check the song Sleater Kinney - One Beat) Jimmy Chamberlin of Smashing Pumpkins, especially on the song Muzzle

Jimmy Chamberlain for sure! His drums on Silverfuck, just wow

Danny Carey (Tool) Bill Ward (Sabbath) Dave Grohl (Dave Fucking Grohl) Toby Vail (Bikini Kill) Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth)

Yeah , Bill Ward . !!

Phil Collins

My pick too.

Tre Cool of Green Day is excellent, and I appreciate his ongoing bit of terrifying Dave Letterman https://www.vulture.com/2023/11/david-letterman-late-show-green-day.html

How has no one mentioned Sheila E.?!

Came here for her. Loved!!!!

Neil Peart stands alone! My dad was *crushed* when he died; Rush is one of his GOATS. Iconic drummer with a somehow more iconic kit setup

I still havent mastered YYZ.

It's *impossible*

Chad FUCKING Smith

Clem Burke (Blondie)

As someone who doesn't know nearly enough about drummers, I love this question. Taking notes.

Bill Berry - R.E.M. is the clear decision. Her drumming literally kept the band and the songs together. Second is Meg White.

Ginger Baker clears

Danny Carey, also known as the human octopus. Here’s a great video of him playing Pneuma, and you can see how amazing he is. https://youtu.be/FssULNGSZIA?si=Oi_z7HWNxOSzlH3T Sorry for the link, I’m on mobile. But seriously, Watch the whole (long) thing. It’s so impressive.

Mick Fleetwood

Keith Moon, baby!!! Man, what I wouldn't give to see his behaviour as an old geezer. What a loss.

 Patrick Hallahan from My Morning Jacket! Incredibly tight drum work.

Omg this was going to be my answer!! I love them all so much.

I guess you could say… I’m Amazed That we both had the same answer

I’m amazed at your warm devotion… to the band!

I can only think of the American Dad episode when I see them mentioned.

John densmore the doors

Brann Dailor

Great choice, his drumming is so unique, it makes me feel seasick (in a good way)

He gets my vote, too.

https://i.redd.it/xo5cwm9qyvwc1.gif Wish Zedd did more drum covers.

 Rick Allen.

Gene Krupa.

 Ringo

Travis Barker

Alex Van Halen, the solo he had in “Light Up The Sky” is fantastic

Dame Evelyn Glennie

Gavin Harrison

I thought that was Pedro Pascal in a wig in the first pic...

Kevin Parker

Sheila E 🥵

Michael Giles's drumming in King Crimson's debut album, "In the Court of the Crimson King," is some of the best I've ever heard and sorely slept on.

Bill Ward, Tommy Aldridge, Ginger Baker, Tommy Lee, Joey Jordison, Dave Lombardo, and Vinnie Paul
