Best drummers

Neal Smith from Alice Cooper's first band - apart from Alice the most musicaly competant of them....their early stuff had good solid drumming.

As Jim said, I dont like the word "best" when it comes to musicians... there are varied tastes and appreciation levels. At the end of the day, there are only a certian amount of techniques and sounds any specific instrument can make and all musicians of a high calibur have experimented and found them. :spudguita

Loved a lot of Dave Lombardo's stuff while touring with Fantomas (twice!) *SQUEE!*
Tomas Haake from Meshuggah is an absolute legend. Absolutely nutty timings.

Not that fussed with Danny Carey. Seems fairly pedestrian.

Ray Herrera: Nice guy in person. Good with the double kick, innovative, but definately not near the best.

The Corrs drummer looks pretty good to me.....

Karen Carpenter looked good back in her day too....

Dunno about Honey from the Honeycombs,I was a bit young then.

Keith Moon and the dude from iron maidan and ACDC(who has lived in TGA for the past 20 years...heehee)...
Oh and that chick off the Glassons ad, I think she is from foamy ed

Jörg Michael from Stratovarius is pretty damn awesome. Speed of Light is just amazing, it's so fast. Awesome stuff

Nick Mason. Not only is he a great drummer, but he is also a raving petrolhead. I have also, 'ahem', met him.

Shit yeh i got a vid of him doing an in studio solo. He like goes hard then does doubles on his base drum. And at the time i got it it was the same speed i could do doubles on my snare.

no ones mentioned Sugarfoot Jackson?
I've seen some solo work from him that looked mighty impressive... although it wasn't as long and as varied as John Bonham's efforts in Moby Dick (gotta see The Song Remains the Same for a stunning live drum performance if you haven't)
