Hmmm...good question.

I can't avoid the obvious. Rush's Neil Peart is a legend, there's no doubt about it. Unfortunately, I don't know enough Rush material to make a valid judgement, but the stuff I have heard DOES demonstrate Peart's incredible talents.

Dream Theater's Mike Portnoy is a very technically proficient drummer. The stuff he can pull off is simply mind-blowing, and he is an animal with that double-base pedal

In terms of mainstream stuff, Danny Carey is absolutely wicked. Swallowing some of Tool's stuff hurts my head with him pounding on the drums

Yeah, I'm not a drummer, so I can't answer for sure. The three I mentioned are at the top of the list though.

i like phil collins some years ago.. i like him when he was in genesis.
currently i like Mike Portnoy, The drummer of Dream Theater. i like Dream Theater more than others. Fantastic rock band group i ever hear. how do u?

I mentioned Portnoy in my post. Indeed, he is a magnificent drummer, and indeed, Dream Theater is a fantastic band.

If I could recommend a single album that defines the band's unique sound, it would be Scenes From a Memory. No CD collection can be complete without it. I urge you all to run out to your local record store and snag a copy today!

Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes. Not the ultimate drummer but he is up there with the best. I don't know much about percussions and how they should sound right but Fab's sound is pretty goodl

Give him 5 years and by then The Strokes will be the new The Ramones and his talent of hitting things will exalt him.

I read the title of this thread and immediatly thought of Roger Taylor from Queen.

[saladferk]

Probably the guy from Def Leppard. He was good with one arm, imagine how he'd be with two!

THE DRUMMER FROM DEF LEPPARD ALL THE WAY!!! omg the beats he played to those songs and with one arm... i envy him
