[The Colonel]

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:

Keith Moon
with Jon Fishman in a close second

[The Dude Of Life]

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.

yea keith moon is my favorite too
i also like chad smith from chili peppers. i know he isnt the "best" but i just like his style
mitch mitchell from jimi hendrix experience is one of my favorites too.

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

[burnable]

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.

*edit* and Mike Portnoy for sure. Dreamtheatre people, look it up
