Cozy Powell will always be the best for me

[andy400]

Michael Shrieve - Santana. Woodstock - Soul Sacrifice.

Just.... awesome.

And he was just 20 at the time, IIRC.

Great call

Honourable mentions also to Gene Krupa and "Bonzer" Bonham

[Forthright MC]

Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor

"Doom" Schneider

Lars Ulrich

3 skin pounders definetely worthy of a mention IMO

[incubus]

Stewart Copeland

[Slikk]

Ian Paice is up there with them.. .. ..check out the one handed snare roll about 3/4 of the way in.

How do you rate Moon?

[wmg100]

It's got to be Bonham for me.

Of living drummers I rate Horacio 'El Negro' Hernandez and Matt Cameron is a superb rock drummer

[Plotloss]

Yeah Bonham.

However, that drummer in the Arctic Monkeys plays with some commitment.

He's got to be the hardest working drummer in rock and roll, top work.

Bonham was possibly the most powerful and the most recognisable and my favourite. Danny Carey is astonishing live

[TimmerTVR]

Me and my brother reckon (and have to disagree with the lars ulrich vote :-) )

George Collias - Nile
Travis Smith - Trivium
Nicko Mcbrain - Iron Maiden
Thomas Lang

[Flat six]

HA HA HA well your ALL wrong!

THE best most inventive, technical and innovative drummer in the world is of course,

NEIL PEART of RUSH

Whom i'll be watching again tonight at Wembley Arena for the forth time on this Snakes & Arrows UK Tour. (Have been to Glasgow, Newcastle & Sheffield already, with Brum & Manchester to do after tonight)

ROLL THE BONES.

[S7Paul]

How about these:-

Mikkey Dee - Motorhead
Joey Jordison - Slipknot
Dave Lombardo - Slayer
Bill Ward - Black Sabbath

And the best young drummer I've seen for a while:-

John Fred Young - Black Stone Cherry

[S2]

And me

now that has to go to Rick Allen - Def Leperd, he had to work twice as hard as any other drummer

I was at those two as well

[JaymzDead]

Lars Ulrich

Some people have a great sense of humour.

Some awesome drummers:

Ken Schalk (Candiria) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHhY6v39NOc
Flo Mournier (Crytopsy) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ayqcCrSXfo
Bard Faust (Emperor)
Jimmy Kyle (Acid Bath)
Igor Cavalera (Ex Sepultura) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkJniOCO7Is

Plus obviously Bonham , Bill Ward, Iain Paice etc.

[Hanslow]

I would dispute the Lars votes too

My votes would be for

Dave Lombardo
Joey Jordison
