Ultimate Classic Rock Drummer: Round One Part Two

[FireandWater]

Alright, we have already done ultimate song (Comfortably Numb) and album (Led Zeppelin). It now looks like Led Zeppelin is going to run away with ultimate band. So let's try something new. I have 32 drummers going at it on a random bracket. I'll also list the band they were most known for being the drummer. This is the second part.

RULE: PICK ONLY ONE DRUMMER PER GROUP

 

[Nololob]

1. Ian Paice (Sorry, Cozy, Ian takes this one)
2. Phil Ehart
3. Carl Palmer
4. Carmine Appice
5. Michael Shrieve
6. Ginger Baker
7. Alex Van Halen
8. Albert Bouchard (Because I know Bonzo will win anyway )

Roger Talyor
Ginger Baker
Mick Fleetwood
John Bonham

Albert Bouchard is a good drummer and an accomplished song writer, many of my favorite BOC tunes are one's he's written. But Bonzo is the far better drummer.

I am pulling for Ginger Baker to win this one..although it would be cool to see Carmine Appice get some forum love.

^^^ Carmine is praised highly among music buffs but VF probably isn't mainstream enough for him to pull out a win, but what do I know.

I have a vinyl copy of one of Carmine's solo records I bought ages ago. It has somehow survived all these years and is in mint condition. Anyway I wish I could sit you all down in the big room and play it for you, it has to be the most powerful sounding drum kit I have ever listened to. Unlike so many other recordings the drums get the priority. The songs are average, the vocals not the greatest, but just from enjoying a great drummer in the spotlight it's an amazing experience.

Of course I like to have a couple pops First and then crank it up.
