Name three of yours the most favourite drummers

I tripped across this thread again and realized that no one has yet mentioned Winston Grennan. It can be fairly (though not conclusively) argued that Grennan invented reggae. He is pretty much universally credited with the "one drop" beat - bass drum on the third - that forms the basis of the genre. He played with everyone from Count Basie to Paul Simon - not mention my man, Kid Creole.

John Bonham
Kellii Scott
George Marsh

I haven't seen Budgie from Siouxsie and the Banshees mentioned. That guy can kick some serious ass with two sticks. Talk about underrated style, sophistication and dead on precision, let alone his ability to make his playing sound like a trio of drummers. Absolutely amazing percussionist. Check him out. If you've ever been to a Banshees show, you know what I'm talking about.

How about Janet Weiss?

Phil Collins - master already at 21 on "Nursery Cryme": see the Belgian TV Show March 1972 and that humble kit. Class, plays brilliantly also jazz in Brand X and later in his career (simpler) pop with ease.

Jon Hiseman - the ultimate driving force for all the bands he has played with. COLOSSEUM LIVE, 1971. He´s actually a jazz man but comes behind no-one as a rock drummer. The Leader.

Carl Palmer - positive attitude, like Keith Moon´s. Ultimate power like Hiseman w/ superb skill, very technical and very very fast, still with taste and a style of his own. Like Hiseman, has jazz soul and that makes him high above of rock drummers.

Bill Bruford - a true jazz man, never dull just pure style & class. The greatest fusion drummer really. King Crimson 1972 -75. Sublime and very creative stuff. Alongside Palmer, the only "technically perfect drummer" I can stand.

Jamie Muir is a genius but he´s a percussionist really. Creative and unique. He shines in King Crimson 1972-73, that line-up w/ David Cross created the best avantgarde/jazz/rock/fusion. The German Televison program late 1972 is telepathy.

John Weathers - prog rock´s Keith Moon - go figure :^ ))
Furio Chirico - jazz/fusion´s Carl Palmer - go figure : ^)

Enjoy the music
