Stewart Copeland/The Police
Then going back a ways -- Max Roach brilliant drummer who played along side jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker.... (and last I checked, he's still kicking drum butt)

Ahhh, yes the Def Leppard dude. Gotta admire someone who can drum the ass off most others with only one arm.
A bunch of cool drummers in one place

I'm gonna have to go with Danny Carrey. In every band he's in the man just shines with talent. Amazing drummer and very diverse.

Raymond Herrera. Fear Factory.
Anyone who can be that precise at that speed deserves to be listed.

Simon Phillips is one of my favourites.
Also, Virgil Donati, Danney Carrey for monster drumming. And have always had a soft spot for Carter Beauford from DMB (listed TWICE on that list: 72 & 92) and Jimmy Chamberlain from the Smashing Pumpkins- I love his playing style and his sound. There are a damn load of great drummers out there.

we are thinking about great dummers and no-one mentions jazz players?
how is this possible? a small list of who i can remember while drinking coffee, in no order, and quite sure that there are other dummers out there i either cannot remember and/or have not heard yet who should be here: elvin jones eddie blackwell andrew cyrille don moye jerome cooper max roach rashied ali sunny murray william hooker (check out his duet release with thurston moore) chris cutler and tony allen, who was the drumming (and musical) backbone for most early fela anikulapo kuti tracks--through the early 1980s---and is just a monster.... and why only trap drums? i might object to considering drummer who play 4 (boom chak da boom boom chak), in general, except--- for more power and/or speed oriented material, the good dr. bindujeet of bindujeet partners llc is a veritable gateway to a legion of black metal drummers, the recordings of which simply leave one's tiny unsuspecting brain pummelled into a a kind of brakish froth... maybe i will try to lure him over here. waves a hat of meat.....

Carter Beauford is an incredibly talented drummer--one of the most talented out there at the moment. If he doesnt top my list, hes definitely in the top three.

Danny Carey from Tool is definitely one of the best.
Lars Ulrich, although a bitch, is good. Also, I don't know his name, but the guy from 3 Doors Down is pretty good. I know you ordinarily wouldn't think of their drummer to be on a list that celebrates speed and stuff, but I went to one of their shows and he had a several minute long solo and it sounded awesome. So he's a sleeper at least. |

My two favorites are Gene Holgan (Death, Testament) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Testament, Fantomas). I didn't expect anyone to know about Gene but he is an amazing drummer. Extrememly fast and precise. I thought that at least someone would have mentioned Lombardo. He's about as good as it gets. |

i think i saw lombardo with john zorn, fred frith and bill laswell.
if that was him, he is a headfuck live. and the other players almost had to carry him offstage after the gig. it was impressive all the way around.

I can't comment on who's best in terms of technicality and creativity because I know precious little about drumming, but the drummer with the biggest "uuuuuuuuuuuuh(confused-at-how-incredibly-quick-and-confusing-the-drums-are-smiley)" factor, for me, has to be Brann Dailor from Mastodon.

Some great ones that I don't believe have been mentioned:
Matt Abts (Gov't Mule) Alan Evans (Soulive) Stanton Moore (Galactic) My favorite: Neil Peart (if you're a fan, you ought to pick up Ghost Rider, his book about his long motorcycle trip where he attempted to heal after losing his wife and daughter)
