I always forget about Dunbar, even though Ive had almost all the albums listed above and one time or another...

[HolyLiaison]

I really don't know any of those drummers because I'm not that old.

BUT... I do know Joey Jordanson from the band Slipknot and Dave Lombardo from Slayer can reak havoc on anything. In my eyes they're the best because I have yet to see any of the others in person.

*Waits to be bashed*

Edit:
I missed Dave Grohl. I must give him credit too.

I voted Animal. Maybe I should go back to bed.

I would have thought you would have gone for Grohl :)

I actually voted Grohl. He gets my respect because he has drummed for Nirvana which was the breakout group of the 90s, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers which was worthy of it's own thread here, Queens of the Stoneage which is made up of guys who end up on every best of list there is, Scream, and of course he heads the Foo Fighters (although he doesn't drum much for them).

Pretty nice stuff for only being 35.

I don't know enough about these people to make a valid judgment.

So that's why I voted Animal.

The only bashing you'll get from me is because you gave any sort of credit to Slipknot.

thumbsdown

Slipknot rocks your nuts.

My nuts eh? That is an excellent point. Then they must be talented.

Maybe I was wrong to doubt them.

a very good drummer indeed.....

another great rock drummer...simon king of hawkwind...

" Simon King excited people during his days with Hawkwind like no other drummer before or since. The combination of fast (up to 250bpm in places!), rhythmic and yet organically sensitive drumming with long fills and rolls that span the kit and finish back on the beat is something that set up Hawkwind up throughout the 1970s. "

Simon King

Early days

Born in Oxford around 1952, Simon quotes his earliest influences in drumming as "some of the jazz greats that I heard a lot of. I always really wanted to play jazz but never got around to it. Early rock influences were the same as everyone else's: Elvis, Chuck Berry, The Beatles, etc."

Simon started playing at 15 in various local bands, mainly in Berkshire, teaching himself as he went along. The earliest recordings I have of Simon are with Opal Butterfly in the late 1960s. This band, of course, also featured Lemmy for a while and it was his acquaintance with Simon that eventually got him the job with Hawkwind.

Four years later and Hawkwind are having problems with Terry Ollis being so stoned that he "kept falling off his drumstool". Lemmy happens to catch Simon King getting out of a taxi in London and offers to introduce him to the band, as a "proper drummer".

The next eight years are the stuff of legend, with some immensely powerful material from Simon King coming out of the Hawkwind stable.

Influences

Chosen by Simon King in 1973, here are a few of his main musical influences:

Beatles: "Strawberry Fields" - "a changing point all round."
"Velvet Underground and Nico" - "I just liked their basic simplicity.... It had an overall effect on me that I'd never experienced before."
Jimi Hendrix - "Hey Joe" - "This was the single that made me want to play rock and roll professionally... Somehow this record appeared out of nowhere and it got me into rock and roll in the form of three-piece bands... When I first heard this single it blew my head off. It was just rough and raw and gutsy."
Who - "Who's Next" - "I was impressed by this album because of what the Who left out - what they didn't do. It's somehow empty, despite Townsend's huge chords. Also, I think Keith Moon's drumming is brilliant."

____________________________________________________

"And down in the engine room, in place of booster rockets, lurked the most amphetamine-fuelled rhythm section ever heard along the interstellar spaceways. You have to race forward warp-speed almost 30 years to the launch-pad powersurge of 'Speed Guru' from Japan's Acid Mothers Temple before you hear anything that multiplies the G-force as effectively as the combined muscle of Simon King and Lemmy."

Yea verily, and the God of Rhythm heard the pleas of the people, and forsooth he bestowed upon them monster drummer Simon King and animal bass-masher Ian "Lemmy" Kilminster, and it was damn good and the people rejoiced"

"... a brilliant drummer - quite unique..."


"Me, I tell you my drum solos are a waste of time, unless excellent, nothing worse than a mediocre one, that's why I don't do one! now give me Baker for power, Keith Moon for tremendous energy, but all in all Buddy Rich, he's the guvenour."
