For me it's got to be Phil Collins. Not the Disney Phil, of course, but the Brand X and Genesis Phil. He's got an amazing ear for the music, and he can inject groove and feeling into the stiffest songs. Definitely not a "center stage" drummer, but a team player.
Some other usual suspects are Steve Gadd, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette. |

Hands down one of the best technicians (tasteful) in the modern era. G +1  My #1
Good and tasteful enough for Letterman's Drum Solo week showcase. Very distinct style. If he is on a track, you know he is the one drumming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYbDOyCrhVs But his highlight song for me is "Anesthetize" off Porcupine Tree's Fear of A Blank Planet album http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XspR65gDRE @11:20

The ones that captivate you and keep you anticipated on what change or fill they might do next. I have no problem listening to a drum solo alone by them or an actual song with them jamming with a band. Last edited by metalifuxx on Wed Feb 01, 2012 2:50 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I can't believe Phil Collins has been mentioned more times than Steve Gadd. Gadd is my favorite drummer still living. Buddy Rich is probably my all-time favorite. |

Ringo was on CF last night (I just watched it now), 71 years old and he looked amazing...I was really digging the guitar playing, he said he didn't have Joe Walsh with him but he wa sthe night before. I beg to differ, Joe Walsh's faces or hard to miss as is his plsying (playing through what looked like a badcat amp )  ---- I never learned anything from being right Hink 2012 RIP Reason L. and Ian B |

Page 3 before Vinnie Colaiuta. Hm. Zappa's legacy must be heading for the big oblivion, then.
Vinnie lost my respect when he went to Sting and played less soulfully than Linn, however. The drummers loved it, but I like a bit of impossible shit going on. Bozzio for being the first to play the Black Page AND for being the devil, Chester Thompson for boogying with Phil Collins when I saw Genesis (and for being in the mid-70s Zappa band). But my most favourite drummer right now? A toss-up between Torstein Lofthus (Elephant9 and Shining) and Kenneth Kapstad (Motorpsycho and Monolithic + + + ) ---- Rakkervoksen |
