The Greatest Drummers Of All Time!

See who makes number one in our countdown...

May 29, 2008

Dominic Howard of Muse - Any of the Muse trio could make it on to a list of top musicians, such is the sheer complexity and referenced beauty of each track. Particularly of note must be Howard's work on debut album ''Showbiz''- highlighting his strengths with both the hard-hitting drum work which characterised rock tunes like ''Muscle Museum'' and ''Uno'', and the subtly jazz-influenced contemplation in ''Sunburn'' and ''Unintended''.

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!
