I agree that Pierre Moerlen was a great drummer. Also, as others have mentioned, Neil Peart.

Another great drummer is Paul Motian. He is a jazz drummer but he has done recordings (working in a trio of bass, drum and sax) where he has been the harmonic instrument. With his drums he provided the cord material for the other two instruments to improvise on.

So he can not only drive the rhythm he can drive the harmony as well.

Of course there is always Ron Bushy. In-a-gadda-da-vida babies.

Chris Maitland was a good drummer but surely you are referring to Gavin Harrison...

I'll stick with Chris Maitland, as I prefer PTs earlier stuff over In Absentia and Deadwing.

I cant believe this thread got this far without a mention of Billy Cobham.
Original Mahavishnu Orchestra, plus his 70s solo albums which were jazz-
rock-prog kind of fusion.

Good call, Barker is an excellent drummer.

Let's not forget Hellhammer!  He's awesome on Arcturus' new album.

Hey Nick Barker is my favourite metal drummer. He is the drum-god. I sometimes can't believe a human can play so PERFECT!!!

Sorry, Tony, I'm with the Colonel on this one - I much prefer Chris Maitland's work with PT; the live album 'Coma Divine' perfectly showcases his percussion work.

Pierre Moelin (RIP) - fantastic drummer, especially on 'Gazeuse'.

And has anyone mentioned this chap yet?:




Aaah - bless!

Neil Peart at his first drum kit (and apparently in his pyjamas....)

Who would have guessed this little boy would become the finest rock drummer of his generation? Best performances? Difficult to pick just one, but if I had to choose, I'd probably go for 'O Baterista' for best solo, and the album 'Moving Pictures' for best overall album.

Aren't we forgeting the great B. J. Wilson? He was Jimmy Page's second choice when Led Zeppelin was in formation, after Keith Moon & John Entwistle refused to quit The Who. Page and Wilson are both featured at the first Joe Cocker album, "With a Little Help form my Friends". As far as I know, Wilson did not want to quit Procol Harum and Plant suggested his old mate John Bonham (I have an early recording by The Band of Joy with Plant & Bonham together; Band of Joy's recordings at Plant's anthology "Sixty-Six to Timbuktu" do not feature Bonham).

Listen to Wilson playing at the live version of "Conquistador" and see for yourselves how amazing this guy was behind a drum kit.

To Jim Garten: nice pics!

Oh poor Zoltán Csörsz how weird misspellings of his name are around !

                 He's a really excellent drummer, check out The Devil's Danceschool , for example.

I would't say Peart is the best, because at the top level of
playing, they are all the best ... Bruford, Portnoy, Cobham,
Weckl, are all "the best".

My favorite drummer to listen to ... Neil Peart. I love surgeon
like style of playing. He is awesome to watch. I can't stop
watching him work at a Rush show. A master.
