Who Do You Think Is The Best Drummer?

[presario2800]

best drummer of all

Ian Paice is the best living drummer now! Why do ppl not understand after having listened to him? He is technically accomplished, has great feel, and has excellent flair in his playing. Some drummers may be better in some specific areas but not any that I know is capable in every aspects like him.

The joke is when I heard someone say Yoshiki for X-Japan is the greatest drummer ... what a joke!

I like many drummers which most of you guys mentioned.
But my favourite 3 will be:

Mike Portnoy (DT, LTE)
Carter Beauford (DM Band)
Aquiles Priester (Angra)

if u ask me there can never be one "best drummer" kinda title there are to many good drummers out there.. the title should be like the most well liked or popular drummer around.. there are so many great talents out there rock legends like Ian Placid, funk legends, jazz legends like Ed Thigpen, Peter Erinskin etc.. even our own local heros like Tama Goh(J.M jazz band, he has a endorsement by zildjian!), MYX studio's Jerry, Tony Zee(The Thrailers, i think!), Wee Guan(The Quest).. and even drummers on this fourm that yet to be notice or spotted.. WTH who knows maybe years from now maybe a few of us will make it big too! it will be effing hard but who knows? haha but can ask any or at lest most drummers it all started with a dream something we all prob have! wahaha

hm.. i dunno his name, but i think mahavishnu orchestra's drummer is amazing!
also, early megadeth drummer the late gar samuelson was phenomenal..

 

[mrbangbang]

[konicashoes]

Peter Erskine, a drummer who played with a lot of 'feel'. he was once part of jazz-rock-fusion group Weather Report. the bassist for Weather Report is none other than the Great Jaco Pastorius. 8)

Mike portnoy,terry bozzio,gene hoglan,virgil donati

that drum solo live was impressive but it quite boring seeing him double pedal all the for 15 minutes, if u saw his drum solo in 1992 on the verge of destruction a.k.a silent jealousy tour .. u will be like.. OH MY GOSH!
