I'm going to stick with drummers I have listened to extensively and enjoy. So my names won't necessarily be "popular" ones and a few of them are normally left off these lists. Quite honestly, I never listened to John Bonham, Neil Peart or some of the other "heavyweights" in-depth :)

In no order.....


-Frankie Banali (Quiet Riot, WASP, etc.)

-Tommy Lee (Motley Crue, favorite example is the s/t Crue album from '94)

-Scott Travis (Judas Priest, favorite example is either 'Painkiller' or 'Jugulator')

-Cozy Powell (mainly his work with Black Sabbath)

-Bobby Borg (did very good work on a couple of lesser known mid-1990's albums by Warrant)

-Matt Sorum (mainly his work with GNR)

-Phil Rudd (AC/DC, his drumming is occasionally derided as autopilot stuff but I like the way he keeps a beat)

-Randy Castillo (Ozzy & Motley Crue)

-Steve Adler (GNR)

-Keni Richards (from the band Autograph, more of a pop rock drummer but exceptionally good with keeping the beat & timing of a song)

Not the Three Dog Night that many think of (the three singers) but as a unit, this drummer was a part of the original 4 piece band throughout the 70's. Yes, Three Dog Night were 7 guys/stars in this band.

One of the best underrated drummers goin'!

Going to put Igor Cavalera in my top ten favorite and also skilled.

The guy has some insane groove, the best power of any drummer I have ever heard, and is fast as hell too.

As far as metal drummers go I would say he is one of the greatest.
