Who do you think was the best?

im gonna have to start with John Bonham just because of his trademark styles and speed.

I wouldn't say he is the best in the world but I hold Phil Selway in high, high regard. Definitely my favourite :jointsmile:

Fishman is ridiculous, listening to NYE big cypress stuff right now...
Dont forget Neal Peart though, or that one dude from Dream Theater.
Also shout outs to Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann from the Grateful Dead.

Maybe not the best but I think Frank Beard of ZZ Top is pretty good, also Simon Kirke, Neil Peart, Abe Laboriel, Jr.

tough question. how does one compare the options? I'd have to second Neil Peart. Kreutzmann and Hart are okay, but they aren't syncopated enough for me to consider them the best. I dig Carter Beauford from DMB. He's one of my inspirations in my own drumming, with the offbeats and abstract rhythms. Fishman is nuts with speed; I don't know how he gets his notes so small with a tempo so fast.

Danny Carey of TOOL,
Stef Broks of Textures,
and Dan Foord of SIKTH are really damn good.

best living drummer is Neil Peart, hands down.

Portnoy is good, but not #1

Tomas Haake is really damn good.
Listen to any Meshuggah song and you'll see. It takes quiet a few listens to even begin to understand his music.
*edit* and i have been playing drums for almost 6 years..

incredible improv skills. then of course you put him with bill kreutzmann and they are an unbeatable pair.
