Damn, I couldn't think of his name. the first thing I thought about when I saw this thread was the drums from "I Wanna Be Free". Kick ass!

John Bonham of course. That man had everything! So much swing and groove. I was just playing Zeps In Through The Out Door CD and people regard it as their weakest but the drumming on there is still phenomenal. I also really like Jimmy Chamberlain of Swan and former Smashing Pumpkins. He's got a lot of power and rhythm. Probably my fave drummer of recent times.

John Bonham
Steve Gadd
John "Jabo" Starks
Clyde Stubblefield
Bernard "Pretty" Purdie
John Blackwell
Tony Williams
Billy Cobham
Max Roach
Elvin Jones
Mitch Mitchell

Jonathan Moffett
Michael Bland
John Bonham-Led Zepplin
Joey Kramer-Aerosmith
Prince
Jellybean Johnson

Don't forget Omar Hakim. Of course there is the guy from the roots Mr. ?uestlove. Has anyone heard the drummer from a band called Soulive? I saw these guys live and they all kick ass!!

His name is James "Diamond" Williams.
& that´s who I immediatly thought of myself when I started
thinking about great drummers.He´s outta sight!!
He´s totally original & groundbreaking.
I love everything about the Ohio Players.
/peace manki

Other great drummers:
Andy Newmark:
He played with "Sly & the family Stone" on the 1973
masterpiece Fresh.
Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste:The funky New Orleans drummer of "The Meters".
Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey:Pounding on the 2 & 4 with
"Parliament/Funkadelic".
/peace manki

You're forgetting "Chad Smith"

I forgot Adrian Young from No Doubt-that boy can lay down a great groove

Honorable Mention:Bobby Z. The Revolution was FUNKY, the Parade tour's "Blast from the Past" speaks for it self.

How come no one has mentioned LARS ULRICH... ah... "Funky Drummers".

In which case, how comes LEON NDUGU CHANCLER and HARVEY MASON haven't been ment.. wait... I just did!

finally, U sure U doin the right thing by putting the 1 in this equation? Steve Arrington yes, the 1 is questionable!!!

Lars Ulrich is a mediocre drummer. He is not very versatile. On the subject of Metallica though, well kinda, i cannot believe who they have as their new bass player. Holy shit Robert Trujillo! That man is awesome and is as funky as any bass player Prince has had in his band. He was once in Suicidal Tendencies who are not the same band without him. I will actually be looking forward to the next Metallica album as he's a great catch. Better than anything they deserve to be honest.

TheDolphinDancer said:

Because you didn't read my post.

Hey,Ya all forgot,Sheila E.

nobody mentioned Dave Grohl yet? Just listen to the last Queens Of The Stone Age album, he's the best one out there!

Stevie Wonder who arguably Might be a Better Drummer than a Keyboard Player&Harmonica Player in some circles.

good lookin out caue i almost 4got he was also a drummer as well as a keyboard/piano/harmonica player lol i love when he breaks out the lips on isnt she lovley thats what friends r 4 fingertips and i was made 2 love her...everybody say yeaaah... lol 'member in cooley high when fingertips was playin as cochise preach and the fellas skipped school and went 2 the zoo? lol classic moment... uh oh i just got an idea 4 a new post... old school classic; cooley high how ya like that ???

Peart is the rote response for any list (yes - I'm a drummer and fan, too!) but how about DENNIS FREAQYNG CHAMBERS?!? O Hakim on Gabriel's live jernt is sublime. Love the first fill in 'Red Rain' after Gabriel's opening line. Simple but just so speedy around the kit. Perfect. Oh, and Tony Levin's bass line ain't bad.

Blackwell blew my ass OUT at the Warner last year. Sooo much power - and he did a snare/floor tom thing I'm still not sure I really saw.

kudos to SUPERNOVA.

yo picks are DOWN.
