Etc.

Just can't believe Carl Palmer hasn't got a mention. Anyway, I win.

And add these to the list.....

• Pierre van der Linden
• Simon Phillips
• Florian Pilkington-Miksa
• Bill Bruford
• Neil Peart

....and we're starting to get somewhere.

Lenny White
Ryan Joost Van Poederooyen for his playing with the Devin Townsend Project
Anup Sastry
Mike Portnoy

 

[paulfromcamden]

Surprised we haven't had Dave Lombardo yet!

I'd also vote for George Kollias from Nile with his crazy twisty ankles.

 

[MichaelC]

I think mention should also be made of Bernard Purdue for amongst other things his work with Steely Dan

 

[wylton]

I asked my mate Adrian, who plays guitar in a semi-pro band, for his list:

John Bonham
Chad Smith
Bill Ward
Buddy Rich
Ginger Baker
Gene Kruper

 

[Big Tabs]

I forgot Steve Jansen.

 

[manicatel]

Yea, love steve Jansens work. Maybe not the most technical in the traditional sense, but just so individual & melodic. He was definitely a major part of what made Japan such a great act.

 

[webster]

Phil Collins
Bill Bruford
Gavin Harrison

 

[guey]

Jaki Liebezeit
Tony Allen
Joseph Modeliste
Tony Williams
Keith LeBlanc

off the top of my head

 

[Pedro83]

Jeff Porcaro
Steve Gadd
Steve Smith
Chris Layton
John Bonham
Ringo

 

[zarniwoop]

Ian Paice
John Bonham
Michael Lee
Jerry Marotta
Manu Katche
Barrie Barlow
Keith Moon
Gerry Conway
Lee Kerslake

 

[Big Tabs]

I forgot Keith Leblanc.

Odd, as I have loads of his albums. The man is a machine.

 

[Rockmeister]

Tony Williams
Earl palmer
Buddy Rich
Neil Peart
Ginger baker

 

[BertieWorcester]

Another one for the list is Stewart Copeland.

 

[guey]

I forgot Keith Leblanc.

Odd, as I have loads of his albums. The man is a machine.

I remember going to an On-U night where he played a set. He finished, and I turned to a mate I was with and said "Do you realise we've essentially watched a 40 minute drum solo - and enjoyed it"

I think Reni is a Jazz drummer in the wrong band
