Phil Collins

Doug "Cosmo" Clifford

Charlie Watts ...

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

Ringo Starr

Oh? Really? Ringo? You're a fan of Ringo? I never wouldn't guess.




As I posted in this sort of the same thread (http://www.classicrockforums.com/forum/f27/top-10-drummers-5223/) my favorite drummers are as follow:

1.) Brian Viglione (The Dresden Dolls)
2.) Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater)
3.) Keith Moon (The Who)
4.) Yoshiki (X Japan)
5.) Ian Paice (Deep Purple)
6.) Roger Taylor (Queen)


I'm sure most people think I'm POSITIVELY MAD for having the HIGHLY UNDERRATED Brian Viglione as my favorite drummer of all time, but the man is very talented and simply puts every ounce of himself into his drumming. Just an all around talented drummer and an incredibly expressive musician.

Ringo changed the history of music. He's hard to beat out.

 

[Fisha]

I have to be impressed with Ben Gordon from parkway drive. Travis barker isn't half bad either.

 

[Abraxas]

Neil Peart (Rush)
Jamie Muir (King Crimson)
Michael Giles (King Crimson)
Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson)
Carl Palmer (E.L.P.)
Carter Beauford (D.M.B.)
Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience)
Keith Moon ( The Who)

I'd include Billy Cobham but he's from the jazz genre.
