I'm sure this isn't what ya had in mind.. but.. My favorite drummer is the one I'm playin with now. It took me 11 years to find this guy. Gettin into a groove and medling just came naturally when I started jammin with him. We can work off of each other like we've been playing together for decades.

I have three and they are in order from most favorite to least favorite. But they are my top 3 favorites.

Keith Moon from The Who
Lars Ulrich from Metallica
Chad Sexton from 311

yup yup yup, Sexton is a god behind the kit.

tre cool- greenday
yurri ruley- mxpx
dave grohl- nirvana

Neal Peart-RUSH
Stuart Copeland-Police
Carter Beauford-Dave Matthews
Peter Erskine-Weather Report
Gary Novak-Chick Corea
Vinnie Colaiuta-Sting
Elvin Jones-John Coltrane
Paul Brochu-Le Band


There are just too many good drummers out there that I can't list all of the ones I like. I just love the sound of great drumming. When the bass and drums are locked in intense rhythms it's just incredible.

keith moon, mitch mitchell, and ginger baker are all great,

BUT WHAT ABOUT BILLY COBHAM?????!!!!!! NO ONE MENTIONED HIM YET!!HE IS THE GREATEST> HE PLAYED WITH MAHAVISHNU, DEODATO, AND AN EXCELLENT SOLO CAREER DUHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It has to be Ringo Starr.

Ringo Starr?!!! My buttocks can play better drums then he can! :) You Beatles fans are loyal to the end! :)

Your right there...A quote I've heard is Ringo Starr "wasn't even the best drummer in the beatles"
