Plus sessions drummer, Matt chamberlain.

I was working at Paramount Studios down the hall from this guy once. He was working on a Fionna Apple record and I was tracking for this ska-punk band that never amounted to anything. Our producer pulled him into our suite to show him what I was playing: Kick, Snare, HH, Crash Ride and Timbales. I was 19... and they started talking shit in the control room, laughing at my lack of toms and other bullshit. Then someone asked "so is he playing to a click, or what?" Our producer responded with "That's just it. HE ASKED FOR A CLICK TRACK, AND HE IS NAILING IT!" We did a take. I crushed it. And then Matt asked to meet me. We hung out for a bit - he was a really humble guy. Later, I took my girlfriend to go see Tori Amos and saw him on stage... homeboy was playing a full kit with his feet and right hand, and simultaneously playing congo patterns with his left hand... he was pretty sick.

For my money the best metal drummer is John Merryman of Cephalic Carnage. Couldn't find a great live video...

[dontWIZonme]

I can't believe that Joey Jordison wasn't brought in on this thread yet. And Travis Barker. Two of my all time favorites right there.

 

[ctmiller]

Showmanship: Tommy Lee; come on upside and spinning while drumming. Who can play: Neil Peart!

 

[ThroughHisStomach]

I have been fascinated by John Stanier as of late.

 

[Sydgar]

My son is quite the drummer I think.

He drummed the hell out of our plastic chair, drummed the hell out of our tv screen, my head, my back all kinds of things. He can drum on anything.

 

[UTvols186]

Lars Ulrich Metalica
Ahmir-Khalib Thompson The Roots

 

[icehog3]

1. John Bonham

2. Everyone else

 

[8ball]

Bonham. Just listen to his drumming in David and confused. "Wowza".

 

[Smoqman]

David and confused. "Wowza".

Probably one of the best Goliath Zepplin tunes of all time

 

[havana1]

This is like asking who's the best bassist and guitar player. I may have MY favorite but nobody can say who's the best.
There are so many musicians out there that nobody knows about that are great.
That being said, for anybody to put John Bonham at the top of the list is ludacrisp.....J/K...lol! He was def one of my faves, however.....

Bonham
Palmer
Rich
Peart
Moon
Roach.............................................................etc.

 

[redneck_toy]

Bonham all the way. Although Neal Peart of Rush and Dana Carey of Tool aren't slouches either. Shannon Larkin of Godsmack is up there,too
Zeppelin rules, IMO

 

[boltman]

Neal Peart
Phil Collins
Chester Thompson
