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.

Totally agree with Aynsley Dunbar's work on 'The Grand Wazoo' - I'd also nominate Simon Philips for Phil Manzanera's '801 Live'. 

And Ringo is awesome - what an amazing drummer he is...

@goofyfoot - Most of what the Who did was a departure from what they did earlier.  'Tommy' was a departure from 'My Generation', for example. Bands that never depart from a formula will eventually bore their audience as well as themselves.

I actually enjoyed 'Who Are You' more than 'Quadrophenia', especially the title track and John Entwistle's numbers. But I always like Entwistle songs! 👍

@chayro - I assume you're a fan of his playing on Phil Manzanera's '801 Live' album? That's what turned me on to how great Simon Phillips was....
