Where is Manu Katche indeed!!!

Sorry folks but no-one not even the technical wonder of Bruford can come close to Mr. Bonham of Led Zeppelin fame.

Is this not the hardest poll ever?

It's got to be Neil Peart.  The actual lines are as important as the technical ability.  Bruford on UK and Red by Crimson is pure class though.  Not to mention Mr Collins' work on Brand X...and Billy Cobham!

Check out John Theordore too from The Mars Volta........keeping it alive for us younguns....hehehe

I find it really odd that a poll could be put forward regarding a ''Best Drummer''.No such thing as a best drummer,every fan of their best loved band are going to vote for that drummer,it's inevitable.However each drummer has his own individulal style of playing,tricks,exemplary timing etc.Some drummers may pull off an energetic 30 min drum solo live,where as another drummer of a simular band may not entertain drum solo's,in either instance this does'nt make any drummer better than another.

  Would it be possible to add more names to the list? If so, I'd like to give my vote to Virgil Donati, if not, then it will go to Peart/Bozzio/Portnoy, they can be very different to each other, but I like them equally...

Some greats there, no doubt, but it'll always be Mr and Mrs Brudford's son William, for me.Big smile

Next Palmer, then Peart.
