Favorite drummers

This forum needs a thread, and i couldn't think of anything else.

Who's your favorite? post vids and stuff


Mike Portnoy:


I'd post more of him but i don't wanna spam the entire OP with him...


Landryx from UneXpect:


And a shit load of other prog and jazz drummers

- Keith Moon (The Who)
- Neil Peart (Rush), even though I was never a huge Rush fan.
- Rick Allen (Def Leppard)
- Dave Grohl (Nirvana), even though I haven't listened to Nirvana in years. He definitely is a talented dude though.
- Bobby Blotzer (RATT)
- Matt Sorum/Steven Adler (The Cult (only Matt), Guns N Roses)
- Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience)
- Tommy Lee (Motley Crue)
- Buddy Rich

Dude, I could be here all day.

Jimmy Chamberlin from the Smashing Pumpkins

Jeremiah Green from Modest Mouse

Dave Grohl's a pretty coo' drummer.

That's all I can think of.

+1 to Jimmy Chamberlin

Some of my favorites:

Matt Cameron from Soundgarden (not familiar with his Pearl Jam work)

Danney Carey from Tool

William Goldsmith from Sunny Day Real Estate

Steve Lamos from American Football
Zach Hill from Hella/Death Grips

I'll post videos later.

Slim Jim Phantom - The Stray Cats
Mike Terrena - Axel Rudi Pell/Tarja Turunen
Brent Smedley - Iced Earth
Jon Larsen - Volbeat
John Tempesta - The Cult/various metal bands
Thomas Lang
Flo - Cryptopsy
Jukka Nevalainen - Nightwish
Janne Parviainen - Ensiferum
Jaska Raatikainen - Children of Bodom
Travis Smith - Ex Trivium
Shannon Larkin - Godsmack
Nicko McBrain - Iron Maiden


There are more, but I'm wasting my lunch here lol.

I feel bad because I didn't even know most of these names prior to this. These are just people that constantly impress me.

Steve Clifford - Circa Survive
Chris Collis - This Town Needs Guns
Erin Tate - Minus The Bear
Ben Koller - Converge
Matt Cameron - Soundgarden
Kashikura Takashi - Toe

I also really love the guy from Maps and Atlases but I'm not really big on the band.

I second Chris Collis.

Let's not forget Abe Cunningham from the Deftones

I was considering adding him. He definitely has his own style and some kickass performances.
