4. Neil Peart of Rush - One of Peart’s perks is to use the bottom end of his drumsticks, apparently relating to when, many years back, his sticks broke and he couldn’t afford new ones. Epic solos and his 360degree kit have marked Rush’s lyricist out as one of the most respected percussionists in rock history. Peart has made use of a plethora of instruments to create as eclectic a sound as possible, including tubular bells, temple blocks triangles, timpani and drum machines.

- Ginger should have been a HELL of a lot higher up on this list. But yay for Keith :)
- 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
remi, brendan canty should be on there
- 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!
