The Drummer Thread

Ok, since we have a few musos on here I thought I'd post this.

We have the guitarist thread so now we have the drummer thread, these are just a few of the greats who have influenced my playing over the past years.


The greatest of them all, Buddy Rich

04-27-2012 - Sevendust / Morgan Rose - The Drumstick Ninja

I'd like to nominate the sadly departed Spinal Tap drummers as well as Dave Grohl and Lars Ulrich.

Neil Peart and Nicko McBrain are my two favourite drummers of all time.  If I had to judge I would say Peart was the best and McBrain is my fave.

I remember seeing a video a while back of Lars Ulrich inviting Nicko onto the stage at a Metallica gig, and Nicko blew him out of the water.  I do like Lars as a drummer but he is a total dickhead.

Does McBrain also win the title of Ugliest Drummer?
