Greatest Drummer of All Time
created by AKPickin
A hard category, due to the number of drumming styles, but selected are the most complete and versatile drummers. These drummers should be able to play more than one style. In addition, their impact and influence in music should be felt on a global scale. Not just suburban America. Don't agree with the list?

“This guy RAWKS!
Craig you deserve recognition for all the wonderful work you do.”
“Craig can really get the blood to going! Love to watch him play. Drummers fascinate me. I can multi-task online but drumming takes something else my brain just can’t compute. Thanks Craig for giving out tips to those that occasionally sit in a song! ;)”
“Craig is a fantastic drummer and fun to watch. Drummers have always fascinated me. Talk about multi-tasking... amazing! Before joining Josh Groban’s band, Craig performed with Jackopierce, Toni Lynn Washington, Jess Klein, Johnny A, and the Swinging Steaks, among others. Thanks for sharing your drumkit with you know who Craig. ;)”

Neil Peart
“Neil Peart is undoubtedly the Best of all thats all that needs to be said. But wether your just a listener or a drummer yourself Know this. There are good drummers and there are great drummers some of wich have been overlooked on this list. Ian Paice(DeepPurple), Alan White(Yes), Carmine Appice has played in several Bands, a very solid Rock Drummer. Billy Cobham Jazz Drummer arguably as good as Peart. I think you young punks need to do some more listening.”
“Neil Peart is the best drummer ever and ever and will remain there for eternity. Nobody could beat the old drummers. I don`t listen to much to THE WHO but what I heart about him fascinates me. My favourite band is Led Zeppelin and that`s why Plant is my favourite vocal, Page is my favourite guitarist and "Bonzo" my favourite drummer. But I must be realist and say that they are in top 3 on what are they doing but not on the 1st place. Greetings from Romania. See my top 10 guitarist.”
“Just listen to YYZ, La Villa Strangiato and his R-30 tour solo on YouTube and you’ll undertsnand why this guy is better than anyone else on drums.”

“Lars forever! He is awesome and beats any drummer”
“How is Lars not #2? He should be there right after Buddy Rich! Who is Craig MacIntyre? And Yoshiki Hayashi? What the heck people. Without Lars and Dave Lombrado, modern metal drummers would have no idea what to do. Lars and Dave paved the way for every one else. They should have RESPECT!”
“that japanese guy up in the top sucks unlike lars

“As Talented as they come = ) He ruled the drums”
“people just don’t take to chance to hear this guy a lot of people who hear a7x’s music and don’t like it only pay attention the the music itself if they just listen to him they’d see how great he is a friend I know who thinks a7x is "gay said they’re only famous because of JIMMY of course I LOVE a7x before I listened to them I downed the drums and couldn’t care less for them thought they were a waste [i wasnt very smart then XD] but when my friend showed me this guy he won me over now I love every instrument but favor drums most :]”
“This drummer will blow you away. The first time I heard him I was like ’this is too awesome to be true’ him and the rest of the band are seriously talented”
