Thank you, left handed, does a mean single stick, slow to really fast, drum roll while scratching his arse with the other stick.

I heard about that. Could be rather ammusing to watch

Who was the Def Leppard drummer - the proverbial one-armed paper-hanger....

I've never dissed Danny Carey.

You'd already mentioned him - why bring him up again in my list? Eh? Eh? What is this then? No expects the Spanish Inquisition.

"Animal" seems to be missing from the line up.

Ronnie Verrell was a bloody good drummer, his career covering Big Band, small Jazz combos, and then faithfully replicating different musical and personal styles for the huge range of stuff the Muppets covered musically. IMO he handed Buddy Rich his arse musically on the episode where they had a drum battle.

Clem Burke - legend in his own lunchtime.

Ringo certainly did show the way - a huge number of firsts, and also not as technically inept as a lot of snobs like to make out.

Saw Phil Collins when he came here on the "But Seriously" tour. Brilliant concert. He is a great drummer. "The Westside" is one of my favourites.

Phil did his best work with Brand X. Stunning stuff.

Drum Solo's:
John Bonham - Led Zep - Moby Dick + many others
Alex Van Halen - Hot For The Teacher

All the above mentioned are bloody good and some of the things they do are incredible.

But we can't forget the fathers of drumming, Gene krupa for one!

P.s. my favorite after good old john has to be an even tie between virgil and travis (especially his later stuff)

There's a lot of drummers mentioned in the first post that I wouldn't rate highly at all - guess that's why there's so many, huh?
Those I do rate highly are:
Iain Paice
(the late) John Bonham
(the late) Cozy Powell
Carmine Appice

**James Deuce** · 17th June 2005, 08:17

But what about:

Tony Williams
Billy Cobham
Alphonse Mouzon
Jack De Johnette
Dave Tough
Joe Morello
Al Foster
Art Blakey
Elvin Jones
Jimmy Cobb
Shelley Mann
