Name three of yours the most favourite drummers


I nominate the following

1. Mark Nauseef
2. Ginger Baker(yeah, the erly one!)
3. Jackie Liebezeit
128x128marakanetz
Just listen to "Going Mobile" by the Who. Keith Moon was, and sadly, still is the only drummer able to play in a "completely out of control" manner while STILL carrying the song.

Simon Philips and Ansley Dunbar should receive special recognition for being SO talented at such a young age. (Both were topping the charts before they were 18).

And how can you forget Bernard Purdie if you desire smooth?
Terry Bozzio, Dave Weckl, Simon Phillips, Dennis Chambers, Mike Portnoy, Jason Rullo (Symphony X). "Terry Bozzio is the Bruce Lee of the Drums", I suggest you check him out at Terry Bozzio.com!
Mickey Hart
Bill Kruetzmann
Carter Beauford

Honorable mentions:
Butch Trucks
Jai Johnny Johnson
John Molo (Bruce Hornsby/Early Other Ones)
