Treat yourselves to a little Krupa & Rich though - amazing.

Portnoy- Dream Theater and
Carey- Tool

I vote for Billy Cobham!

especialy his early work

Sometimes it sounds like he (and other band members)are on crack but that is not uncommon t'his' genre. :)

Billy Cobham

Larry Mullen Jr

Right now - Taylor Hawkins (Foos)
Past - Keith Moon (The Who)

... but there's so many ... no wonder we're upto 13 pages on this thread :D

Dave Lombardo!

well mine are dennis chambers, jojo mayer, virgil donnati, Mike Mangini and Dave Weckl

You all should be dragged out back and shot! How can ya mention Buddy Miles..and not Mitch Mitchell?? I prefer Mitch any day..Buddy's drumming lacks finesse..

Moby Dick :)

Don't know about my favourite...but I really like this clip with Mike Mangini: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Eb4LtqHWwmo

some crazy playing in the end when he's playing the actual song

Dave Lombardo of Slayer!!!

Well, I guess this guy is dead by now,lol. but his name was Lewy Belson, and he was Duke Ellingtons drummer. If ever you get the chance to hear a record of his, it is called = Skin Deep. I guess this dont count on account of him being dead, but you asked who was your fav Drummer.

Hell, if we ruled out dead guys, we couldn't mention Bonzo, Moon, Buddy Rich...

Pearl Jam / Soundgarden drummer MATT CAMERON is God!!!!!.

i love the most the drummer of "breaking benjamin"
this is his solo from a show(great solo):

I like Joey Jordison, of Slipknot. Although not all 9 from Slipknot are very talented, I believe he is one of the best drummers out there. Btw, he is the guitar player of Murderdolls I think...

Stewart Copeland.
He wrote the theme to The Equaliser which seems obvious once you know that.

Flo Mounier

dave grohl or dude (police)

This ones:
John Bonham
Dave Grohl

I also like the guy from Foo Fighters. If the Dave Grohl (also a kick-ass drummer) is fronting a band, you know the drummer's gonna be good.

Also, Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney.

you cant look past Jon Bonham.

terry bozzio, drummed with Frank Zapper and now with Fantômas with mike patton

Agreed, with a close 2nd to John Bonham of Led Zeppelin.

Rob Bourdon from Linkin Park.
And in second the drummer from Disturbed.

JoJo Mayer , Vinnie Colaiuta , Dave Weckl , Steve Gadd , Jon Willis , Zoro , Rodney Holmes , Stanton Moore , Benny Greb , Thomas Lang , Tony Williams , Dom Famularo , Jeff Porcaro , Steve Smith , John Blackwell and bunch of others that i dont remember right now

I'm surprised by the number of people who have said that Lars Ulrich is a "great" drummer. He is definitely... a drummer, but nothing special really. Of course, you could put a quadruple amputee behind the drum set for MetallicA and I would still listen to it.

My personal favorite drummer is Vinnie Paul. (Formerly of Pantera/Damageplan) He's one of the few metal drummers I've listened to that plays with insane speed and technicality, rather than just playing fast and heavy.

I'm guessing you're a fan of drummers, generally. :)

All drummers should see this video. The kid drumming is 12 years old. It will TOTALLY freak you out!
It's about 21 MB.

It's also on YouTube:

I completely agree. He's my my long time favourite and I can't see anyone coming close to him when it comes to pure swing drumming.
#1 for rock would be John Bonham and for all around jazz etc. I like Tommy Igoe.
