Guess I'm in the minority...

For my money, Buddy Rich.

Nah. Discussion is of rock drummers.

And, even then it weighs heavily to classic rock/prog rock.

hence no mention of madison's own funky drummer.

[Sparkey]

Was a very good drummer.

Best rock drummer ever IMHO.

Can't really disagree (argument could be made for peart), though stephen morris is my fav.

Great drummer, human metronome....and then stepped out from behind the drums and created the famous programmed drum beat in history.

Would RUSH be RUSH without the Professor on percussion ?

Would mint chocolate chip be mint chocolate chip without mint?

Since Peart was NOT the original drummer for RUSH, your sarcastic comparative is inaccurate.

[Freak Out]

All great drummers....loved the Bruford/Belew/Levin/Fripp King Krimson.

It isn't some metal band....CRIMSON.

Oh....pardon me

do you think fripp woulda tolerated such a mistake? I think not...DISCIPLINE!!

Fripp was a perfectionist.

Rich is an amazing drummer for sure.

Sure, but Rush without Peart and Rush with Peart are two completely different animals!

For example, compare "In the Mood" off the first album (More Cowbell!!!) to "Cygnus X-1 Book Ii" off Hemispheres and tell me they are in any way alike.

Sorry, but, is this somehow related to football?

Yes.

Yes.

Oh, good.

Yes.

Oh, good.

There was a great gnashing of teeth going on after the Bungels loss and I wanted to lighten the mood in here.......the admin can move it anytime he likes.

Hey...there's no porn.........yet.

[Tarlam!]

Give Skin time.

[Fritz]

Here:

A good safety is like a prog rock drummer. He sets the beat, he keeps the team in a rhythm, and if he's really good he can stand out by being particularly deft (Peart/Collins) or by being a thumper (Bonham/Lott).

See? It's a football thread now!

[KYPack]

I'm sure Skin is a big fan of these masters of the skins.

How about the drummer's drummer, Hal Blaine?

Too ancient a reference for you boys?

[Fritz]

Of course I do! Hal's trademark lick was a quarter-note triplet played on two toms simultaneously, typically played during the out chorus of a song.

Just kidding. That was from Wikipedia.

[Freak Out]

He was a beach boy right?

[Guiness]

Well, I think he liked to kite surf
