Greatest Rock Drummers

Ok, I can see Earl Palmer as a contender but I wouldn't lump Cream into the category of jazz......although Baker did play lots of jazz. I guess one would also have to consider Bill Bruford as well.

"It is a good list but some will find it incomplete....particularly fans of John Bonham."

I knew when I typed the post that I left out Bonzo but then I would have to mention Mickey Hart. I felt bad about that but one has to draw the line somewhere. I still think Neil Peart is among the best due to technical ability and creativity.

Master Neil at work.....

Oh and I appreciate the mention of Chester Thompson in the video.

If you're talking jazz drummers then I must give a shout out to Jon Deitemyer, drummer for Patricia Barber.

Did anyone mention Michael Shrieve? He was just a pup at Woodstock and earned his post as the drummer for Santana because of this performance.....
