Bonham or Peart!

best - Carl Palmer duh.. the best combination of touch, power, capable of playing anything, and next to Moon.. the most innovative drummer of all.

favorite- Moon...  so completely out of the box... the Hendrix of drums...  unlike Hendrix...  Moon was so out of the box..  he can not be imitated.

Lots of talent. For me it's Bruford. He has played with Yes, Genesis, Crimson and had an amazing solo career. Can simply play anything.
Close behind-Palmer, Collins(remember the imaginative work with Brand-X), Peart and Cobham.

Simon Phillips (Toto and just about every other band on the planet).

Peart, Bruford and Cobham are all excellent (as are several others on the list) but Phillips is just out on his own.

THE most sought after drummer in rock - bar none.

Bill Bruford off this list, but Jaki Liebezeit (of Can) is my favorite.

The ones that involve drummers that play more than 4/4.


LOL

But if Ringo Star is included, why not Charlie Watts

Simon Phillips and Jeffery Porcaro is strangely not there, Steve Gadd is also missing and the great Bob Siebenberg is a sadly underrated drummer.

but yes I realy like Phil Collins with his mastery of drum Phils LOL (just ask Dr. Phil who is the master behind drum Phils), Phil Collins is a planet and a half above the other Phil, Phil Rudd who is sort of restrind regarding Phils

Peart in my opinion. He never stops learning.Several years ago he was hanging out with these old Latin drummers and talked about how much he was learning. He has to be the most intellectual of them all.He was what 15 when he finished High School.He's one of those very gifted people.Hey you just have to read one of his books,he seems to be able to do it all except play sports well.LOL

Well guys polls are limited with 25 options and i am sure that there are more than 25 good drummers out there. So don't worry about their career.It's just there is no enough room in this poll. Enjoy

Peart takes it for me.  I would then vote for Danny Carey of Tool, and then Bill Bruford.  Honorable mention goes to the almighty John Bonham

This is so tough; i like so may of those guys for different reasons but overall I'll go for Collins. at least the way he used to play in the seventies when he was at his very best.

You must be kidding? Charlie Watts? I guess taste is not debatable but in my opinion he is a very poor drummer but great timekeeper and businessman. As my pal here said, he does a fabulous 4/4 ! Confused
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.
