Best Rock Drummers


I've seen most of them and by far the two that stand out are Neil Peart of Rush and Ceasar Z. of Golden Earring. For non-rock I would say it's a no brainer with Buddy Rich.

Keith Moon - without a shadow of doubt.
His drumming was the soul of rock and roll. Definetly not the most technically proficient drummer there was but nobody and I mean nobody can hold a candle to his manic genius.
God he was good. For those who would doubt please listen to "Live and Leeds".
Ohhhhh Quadrophenia. Damn he drummed like the four horsemen of the apocalypse on that album. Absolutely and utterly brilliant from the first snap of the snare to the last shimmer of his cymbals. Again, if this is strictly about Rock drummers, then Moon was and still is to my mind, unsurpassed.
