Best Drummer Ever

[dellzeqq]

Jim Gordon. From 'Wichita Lineman' to 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number' to backing Elvis in Vegas. Sure, he shot his mum, but nobody's perfect. There have been more athletic drummers, more inventive drummers, drummers who can hold a band together when all around are going walkies, but nobody has ever drummed as beautifully.

It's the last half minute of Wichita Lineman that is so entrancing.

I've always been a great fan of Jon Hiseman.......taps out a nice beat, fast, sometimes a bit flashy but always adds value

I was just about to mention Jon Hiseman! A mate of mine has/had one of his drum kits! (I vaguely knew the members of Colosseum as well)

This may of course be just an excuse to post a bunch of songs by the Band.

 

[Beebo]

Rick Allen from Def Leppard, not because he is the best, but because he managed to reinvent his drumming style with one arm.
The paralypian of professional drummers.

 

[MontyVeda]

Karen Carpenter.

My old man (who new about all things drums and drummers) used to tell me that Ron Tutt (Elvis) was one of the very best.
