Best Drummer Ever

[RedRider]

I was going to say Jaki Liebezeit too or maybe Mo Tucker.

An old friend of mine was interviewed for a radio documentary about Wichita Lineman. Her father was a lineman for the county.

I'll raise you Meg white

Went to see the White Stripes back in about 2005. A stunning night. On the way out some lads were talking-

'That Meg White is shite, just hits the same beat all the time'

His mate 'yeah but, she's in the White Stripes, you're just a knob head'

I've always liked Stephen Morris' drumming. But every member of Joy Division had a very distinctive style and the combination just worked.

Or Neil Peart for coming up with the drum part initially

 

[Hitchington]

Donald Johnson, drummer of ACR. Crisp beats, neat breaks and the funkiest thing to come out of Wythenshawe.

 

[MarkF]

Clem Burke, he was like that drummer on the Muppets, didn't the Ramones fire him for being too enthusiastic?

 

[User169]

So the best drummer ever is a white fella. Coolio!

 

[TheDoctor]

Carl Palmer. Or Ray Bauduc, whose drumming on Big Noise from Winnetka is fantastic.

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Clem Burke's finest -

He can't play with that intensity now and either plays a simplified version or has another drummer in to help

Buddy Rich and Animal (not a white guy)

 

[Dirk]

John Bonham.

 

[raleighnut]

Terry Bozzio is so good, he can do without the drums

My dad was a drummer, nothing special just in a dance hall band, but he always said that Buddy Rich was one of, if not the best.

Honourable mention to the Mad Drummer, Steve Moore. Not the best, but a lot of fun.
