My vote will be a controversial one probably. Gonna go for Collins, Hes certainly not technically the best but he is very creative on those early Genesis albums and plays with such fluidity allowing seamless transitions of sections and time sigs. Love it. I hope

In combining heavy attacks with subtle jazzy softness, uncreatively Bruford. In heavy creativity with subtle creativity, Keith Moon.

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. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Phil Collins is my favourite drummer, partly because Genesis have made some of my favourite prog rock of all time, and Collins contribution was a massive part of why Genesis worked so well.
However!! My vote goes to Buudy Rich, who I judge on technique and pure raw skill. Speaking as someone who plays - or at least trys to the play the drums - I've yet to see/hear a solo that blows me away quite like this one. With just four drums, and about four cymbals, I think Rich wipes the floor with most of my prog heroes.

Two of the three best in my opinion, are not here:
1.- Phil Ehart (Kansas): One of the most technical and capable drummers ever, a virtuoso and incredibly underrated.
2.- Christian Vander (Vander): One of the most unique drummers ever.
3.- Bill Bruford and Neil ´Peart from the list.

I find it shocking the amount of support Bill Bruford gets in these polls. While an excellent drummer and I mean no disrespect, he is not even close to some of the other drummers on this list. I have been drumming for most of my life and I like different drummers for different things. Sometimes it's goove (like Jeff Pocaro), sometimes it's power (John Bonham), sometimes it's technical prowess (Neil Peart or Carl Palmer). My favorite drummer is Phil Collins for his abilty to make songs better. He has such an incredible feel for music. Over the years my son has taken drum lessons from some very good teachers, and intersetingly enough, two of them picked Collins as their favorite.
I love Bruford's work on Heart of the Sunrise, and a few others. I know this is an OPINION poll, but I would encourage listeners out there to go back and listen to Collins work again and see what you think.
By the way from a technical perspective, Buddy Rich blows them all away. Check him out on youtube.

My last post links to a Buddy Rich drum solo; one of my favourites. I also agree totally about Phil Collins. I think sometimes, folk who perhaps dont play the drums, or have a full understanding of whats involved, tend to overlook Phil Collins, because he's...well, he's Phil Collins, the man who produced a load of awful pop music in the 80's, and some find it difficult to be objective. If anyone doubts Collins skill, they really need not look any further that his performance on 'Unquiet slumbers...' 'Los Endos' 'Dukes Travels' or any number of Genesis or Brand X tracks. As you say, he feels the music and can effortlessly blend in or stand out, whichever the music demands. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I think some outstanding drummers have not been mentionned either by this list or by other people:
Alex Holzwarth (Sieges Even)
Jon Theodore (Mars Volta)
From this list the better ones to my taste are: Peart, Bruford, Cobham and Carrey.

The absence of several excellent drummers on the list has already been
noted. If this is supposed to be a list including all genres then where
are all those great jazz drummers? But even if we stick to good old prog
a lot of drummers are missing. Pierre Moerlen, Christian Vander, Simon
Phillips and Jaki Liebezeit have already been mentioned. Other excellent
drummers are Mani Neumeier (perhaps the most versatile drummer of all),
Christian Burchard, Freddy Setz,, Jan Fride, Ramesh Shotam, Jacky Bouladoux, Dennis
Chambers or Pip Pyle. To name but a few.

Several people have mentioned Phil C not getting the love he deserves cos of him and his other music. I too am guilty of not liking him much but his drumming is great and Chester too so I thought i would post one of their younger ish solos.
What I like about them is the solos are funky and enjoyable even if you forget the skill involved!
(Not sure this is the best example but its not as long as some of the others and they look youngish)..
Maybe someone knows when this is from? ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

I'm not 100% certain, but I think that may be from the Mama or Abacab tour. That duet is virtually the same in structure to the one they performed on the Invisible Touch tour. Chester and Phil always worked brilliantly together. In some ways I think Chester was a better match for Collins than Bruford. However, my favourite duel performance from Genesis was Collins and Bruford playing the instrumental section of The Cinema Show, on the Trick of the Tail tour. I went to a Q'n'A session with Bill Bruford recently, and he showed the film of that, without the silly sepia film that accompanys it on the concert that was issued on the last release of the TOTT album, so you could see them working together. Phenomenol! ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

This was extremely difficult to choose. I ended up picking my favorite on the list (Danny Carey) instead of who I thought was best. I think it's widely accepted that Buddy Rich is the best drummer of all time, so that fact that he's scored so low makes me thing everyone else is picking their favorite drummers as well. Like Bruford above me said, drummers like Dave Weckyl and Dennis Chambers make Peart look like a retard using his big set to compensate (I'm saying this as someone who admits he's miles beneath Peart). My favorite drummer these days is Gavin Harrison, who's also omitted from the list, but not only has inhuman control and finesse, but also some of the most creative ideas in drumming, playing rhythms as mathematical as Haake's yet somehow making it sound emotional.

Gary, It's Jeffrey Hammond. It's is also Barry Barlow, John Evans, and Martin (no Lancelot) Barre. Those were stage names Ian encourage them to adopt while, oddly enough, keeping his own name intact. And my avi is lifted from the Linwell Theatre Programme accompanying the A Passion Play album.

That's cool. I think it's interesting that you like Bruford and have the Yes, "Relayer" album pictured. I admit, I have Relayer too. I enjoy that album a ton!
Something tells me that Sound Chaser was Alan White's way of 'getting even' with Bruford. I'm not a huge Alan White fan at all, but he goes absolutely NUTS on this album. Dare I say it? He even stands up Neil Peart with some of that stuff. It's like he is telling Bruford "F you!", I can drum too.

Exactly. I think White's work is better than Brufford's one on "Tales From Topographic Oceans" and on "Relayer". But after this brilliant era, he espouses a more 'conventional' playing. But what an exhibition on, for example, "Ritual - Nous sommes du soleil" !!!!! ------------- One of my best achievements in life was to find this picture :D |
