There's one fantastic guy that never gets a mention; Moving Gelatine Plates Gerard Pons. Its not that strange really. I had to look up his name myself. And there's only two albums by the band. Insane and highly enjoyable. Both the band and the drummer. Whatever happened to him?

Check him out their myspace page

Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

it is wierd how unrepresentated a drummer like Virgil Donati is on a General Drummer topp 10 hes not on my topp 10 eather (more like nr 15 ) but I think he is realy outstanding, technikal drummer, simply one of the best drummers in all time, can play as mathematicly as Thomas Haake, as crisp as Steve Gadd and as varied as Portnoy.

Yep. I saw Donati in his first clinic in America wayyyy back in the early '00's. Needless to say EVERYONE at the clinic was left speechless, including the other clinicians. His double bass single strokes were faster than my double stroke rolls in my hands, and I have been a rudimental/marchiing drummer all my life! Needless to say I cancelled MANY appointments that Spring did alot of practicing....

Iv'e got sXe!!!

I don't really care about rankings here, but I love Jimmy Chamberlain (Smashing Pumpkins). Insane power and groove in his drumming.

My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!
