Name three of yours the most favourite drummers

Buddy Rich - met him after a concert when I was 17 and he was actually cool. Gave me a couple of pointers and signed my ticket stub. Still have it. There's just none finer except maybe...

Carl Palmer - when I can't follow along at all you are good... very good

Bernard Purdie - The amazing shuffle beat that ate the world whole, spit it out and started again.

Steve Gottlieb - a remarkable cymbal technique

Dave Grohl - best of the modern hard hitters

Stewart Copeland of the Police has the most distinctive style of drumming that I have ever heard. Keith Moon was also a great drummer with a very unique style all his own. Don Brewer of Grand Funk was a superb powerful drummer and should not be overlooked. Check out some of those old Grand Funk drum solos. The guy was remarkable!

Dave Grohl - best of the modern hard hitters

I agree with your taste - especially Dave Grohl - innovative.

Dave Lombardo
Chris Kontos
Igor Cavelera

Terry Bozzio can drum, but is so boring, he is just showing of. Like Yngwie Malmsteen he playes good but doens't make music.

Dragonforce is a band full of talented musicians but boring as hell after 5 minutes.
