Best drummer on earth

[pstylez]

Danny Carey from Tool is my top pick. I seriously think he sold his soul to the devil for that skill. What do you think? Who is your favorite drummer or your opinion on the best drummer ever/alive.

I would have to vote myself on "Rock Band"jkjk

[Gusto]

i came in here to vote danny carey too. good pick. and i don't think you're far off when you say he sold his soul for it, haha.

"Carey has laid claim to various drumming techniques that use sacred geometrical figures such as the unicursal hexagram. The final product is very recognizable, fluent drumming, although to him it is much more: the official Tool website claims that Danny uses drumming as a ritual similar to occult rituals, with purposes varying from spiritual exploration to "a gateway [which] summoned a demon he has contained…that has been delivering short parables similar to passages within The Book of Lies."[1] Another geometrical reference from the website was the inclusion of Nothing in This Book is True… by Bob Frissell on the band's recommended reading list, a book that deals with sacred geometry and the evolution of human consciousness.[1]" Danny Carey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KJ Sawka is pretty damned good.

The dude from slipknot is pretty good, less technical, more fastey fastey drum beatey.

Also a fan of the drummer from Strapping Young Lad (who also doubles as Pickles from Dethklok).

I'm very disappointed that we're 15 posts into a thread with this title and I'm the only one who has mentioned Neil Peart thus far. Shame on all of you.

I'd say Danny Carey of Tool, Neil Peart of Rush and Dave Lombardo of Slayer probably.

Neil Peart's Kit


Dave Lombardo's Kit

Stevie Wonder! He's a pretty good drummer, blind or not

[Grapes]

The drummer from Radiohead is underrated
