Reminds me of the old joke :

A correction, cocker:
I'd see Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce every weekend when they were in the Graham Bond ORGANization. That was seriously good band. And Baker was brill - but don't let that get in the way of that ole chestnut.
I realise the joke is rubbish. If it was any good, I'd be passing it off as my own as I usually do.A correction, cocker:

It's the usual gag about drummers being untalented and a bit thick.
Always good to have the praise of your peers and many of the drummers mentioned here acknowledge Rich's technical ability as the best ever though there are just as many judged to be more innovative than him.
It's always the same names who pop up and they are some great drummers, but my favourites are Boris Williams, Topper Headon and Stephen Morris. Three superb drummers who hardly get a mention in these sort of threads.
Probably not the best by ability but the drumming by the Deftones is my favourite by a mile
My Grandad was the best drummer who ever lived, despite only having biscuit tins for a drum kit and two rolling pins for sticks. Although he had a poor sense of timing and rhythm, he compensated with a heavy handed playing style and practised enthusiastically for 18 hours a day. My Nan didn't appreciate his skills, however, and after 50 years of pounding, she stabbed him in the throat in 1985.
Eric 'Stumpy Joe' Childs
I wanna add (prolly controversially) that drum solos are the worst part of gigs, imo. Just time to get the drinks in again....
I don't believe he drummed for fifty years......
Of modern bands Dom Howard for Muse is pretty good
I know nothing about the technical side of drumming but Terry Williams (ex-Man and ex-Dire Straits) was always impressive.
Thought you was gonna mention the drummer wiv the Sunsets ....
The drumming should fit the song, but quite often it doesn't.
See? There's also a bit of swing in there, very punk!
Boris in action
I used to know Terry quite well, often going back to his house for late night jam sessions with touring musicians from his blues club, as well as a number of local musicians.
For those that don't know, Terry used to be in Dire Straits and was the drummer on money for nothing. He was a well respected touring and session drummer.
We were talking about influences and who he thought were great drummers.
He stated Levon Helm (from The Band) and Mitch Mitchell (from The Jimi Hendrix Experience).
Great shout from bobh, for Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich.
Rule of thumb when forming a band: crap drummer = crap band, great drummer = great band. It's the first piece of the jigsaw.
You obviously don’t know Lars.
Youse lot don have a clue.
Earl Palmer was The DADDY!
Not the best but Bun E Carlos gets a mention. Can play left or right handed.
A nod should also go to Elvin Jones, Tony Williams and Seb Rochford
Abe Cunningham , superb drummer great band amazing live
Lol
Denny abam, Ronnie pudding
Personal favourites are Carl Palmer , Stuart Cable ( who must certainly be the best drummer who
supported Cardiff City ) and Mitch Mitchell who could keep up with Hendrix.
