Who are your top ten favorite drummers of all time? They don't have to be prog, they can be from any genre. The top part of my list always changes, but at the moment mine looks like this 1. Neil Pert 2. Mike Portnoy 3. Kieth moon 4. Nicko McBrain 5. Brian Downey 6. Bill Brufrod 7. Phil Collins 8. Brann Dailor 9. Roger Taylor 10. Clive Bunker Ringo Starr always falls in and out of my list, i think he is great and really under-rated but the others over all stand out more to me. I'd like to know if anyone knows what band number five played in, he is a very talented and under-rated drummer in my mind. ------------- " Men are not prisoners of fate, but prisoners of their own minds." - FDR |

1. Perre Moerlen (Gong, Tribute, Mike Oldfield, Brand X) 2. Christian Vander (Magma, Offering, the jazz trios and quartets named after him) 3. Mani Neumeier /Guru Guru, Tiere der Nacht, Acid Mothers Guru Guru, Lover 303, lots of other projects) 4..Pip Pyle (Hatfield and the North, National Health, Soft Heap, many other projects) 5. Christian Burchard (Embryo) 6. Jon Hiseman (Colosseum, United Jazz and Rock Ensemble, Paraphernalia) 7. Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimsion, UK, Earthworks, Bruford, many other projects) 8. Jan Fride (Kraan) 9. Andy McCulloch (King Crimson, Greenslade) 10. Jaki Liebezeit (Can, Phantom Band) The first three are more or less fixed; the rest may change. Billy Cobham is no doubt an excellent drummer, but I don't like his style, so he does not appear on my list. The same is true for Lenny White. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I deliberately left out jazzz drummers in my list, else they would have crowded it. Vander and Neumeier have a lot of jazz experience. Vander has his own jazz trio and quartet, Neumeier began his career as drummer in the Irene Schweizer trio. Burchard certainly knows how to play jazz too, as you can see in video clips of Embro. There is a very good one with Roman Bunka on guitar, Dave King on bass and Christian Burchard on drums. All three are horribly underrated musicians here (or probably just too little known); they never appear in any polls about their instruments though they definitely should.

Haha, no offense taken, Moe  I love the Beatles drum sound, as on Hey Jude, Revolution, Here Comes The Sun... Some say it's often Paul McCartney who drums on Beatles music when you think Ringo is drumming (I read in a biography that Paul was praising Ringo in the press, and in the same time in the studio sometimes went behind the drumkit himself and ameliorated Ringo's drum parts. And besides... maybe it's more that producer George Martin gives the unique drum sound to the Beatles. But whoever it is... The Beatles' drumming was never flashy and there were never drum solos, but I love the simple but effective slightly pulsating drum sounds as used on the later albums.  |

A couple of little known facts:
Aynsley Dunbar toured with Journey, and more recently was part of the Pat Travers Power Trio along with bass player Gunter Nehzoda. I had the opportunity to record in the same studio with the PT Power Trio a couple years back and got to watch them record a few songs. Aynsley Dunbar is a real good guy and I'm glad someone mentioned him here.

I am probably the only drummer in the world who is not enamorite of Bonham and Ringo. Both of those guys sort of bore me. Zepplin was good ,but there were many other guys doing what Bonham was doing and more at the same time...he just happened to get the spotlight, or be involved in the off stage shennanigans that truly brought Zepplin their fame. ------------- Iv'e got sXe!!!

Have you checked out Koenjihyakkei or Ruins? Their drummer, Yoshida Tatsuya, is incredible, like Vander with lots and lots of caffeine. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">
