Sorry to join the discussion late, and glad to see Richie Hayward, my all time favorite, receive some mention, along with Steve Gadd, and Jeff Porcaro. Surprised to see zero mention of Rod Morgenstein (Dregs, etc.). Since there's also been discussion of Jazz players, I will also offer Joe Morello (Dave Brubeck, the Take Five solo), Alex Acuna (Weather Report, etc.), also Peter Erskine (also Wearher Report and many others).
Greatest Rock Drummers
Given the subject line many names come to mind such as Ginger Baker, Keith Moon, Phil Collins and Carl Palmer but, is Neil Peart the greatest rock drummer of all time?
