8. Carl Palmer – Upon Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s demise in 1978, Carl promptly turned out for prog giants Asia, where Palmer was yet again famed for his lightning fast solos, at times upstaging his more than illustrious band mates. According to an interview with People magazine in 1982, Palmer claimed that, aged 14 and having only played drums for three years, he was ‘halfway there.’ Hindsight’s a wonderful thing.

Although I’m a huge Beatles, Stones, Cream, etc. fan, I agree with alot of the picks but I think Charlie Watts should be in the top ten!! He’s not only one of the greatest ”Rock ’n’ roll” drummers (even though he is quoted as saying ”I hate Rock ’n’ roll”, but he is also one of the top Jazz drummers from his era. If you can tell me of another drummer who has sat through 30 hr. Rock sessions (In the Seventies) and is as steady as a drum

Jim Keltner, Jim Gordon, Hal Blaine, Trey Cool, Pat Wilson would all be in my personal top 10. Meg White and the one-armed guy? Ridiculous!
