I don't really find punk drummers to be quite that great, sure they can play fast, but really fast kick-snare+symble is kinda repetitive for me, ( repetitive refering to hearing the same drumming in many punk bands)  I personally like Lars Ulrich of Metallica, on top of being a good drummer, I believe he writes quite a bit of Metallica's music if I remember correctly...

Mmmm, Allman Bros..............but then im kinda biased cuz there one of my all time favorite groups.

But then I must give a plug for the all time great "Buddy Rich" 8)

I totally agree with you, his name is Travis Barker. I hate the band hate the "music" love the drumming... But the best drummer around is Neil Pert

I can't  see how anyone can say Neal Peart isn't the best. No offense to those who think so, but in my opinion, especially when trying to play their music on the drums, it is, by far the most difficult I have ever tried. I heard that Rush is doing a tour this year. . . I want to see them sooooooooooooooo bad, just because of Neal Peart.

Well people have said that!! I think he is great also!
Yes they are going on a 30 yr anniversary tour this year.
That is if Alex can keep his ass out of jail after beating on the  cops!!

And Hagar Gene Krupa is awesome! A little before my time but KISS being "my" band since '73 I always admired Peter Criss and I also like learning about what influanced bands/members and Gene Krupa was Peter's "idol" so I had to check him out, and needless to say even though the music wasn't my cup of tea the drumming ability blew me away!!!! If you listen to Peter you can hear a little Krupa in his playing style! Peter Criss was also the one who first got me to check out Frank Sinatra, his singing "idol".

ALL DRUMMERS ARE FROM ANOTHER PLANET!

You Strange?????? You should see me at school.... talk about strange  especially Jazz Band class where I get to play on an awesome Peal Master Custom drumset.... man it sounds sooo goood *drools*, i have that class first thing this morning in an hour.... WOooHOO

This is awesome! I've been playing drums for 25 years. My last gig was a year ago. After 5 years with a 80s Rock/Dance band, I finally had enough of the clubs, bars, private parties, and called it quits. After reading some of these post, I can tell some of you are young. It very refreshing to hear some of the old drummers names being talked about by you. Has anyone ever heard of Buddy Rich? LOL! Amazing! One of my favorites. It's very hard to pick a favorite of all time. The drummer that had the most influence on me has to be Neil Peart of RUSH. (thats pronounced PEART as in ear not PERT). These days there are so many great drummers out there making amazing noise. Most of them with great style and speed. Everyone who is learning about drumming should listen to all types of drummers from Speed Metal to Pokas. Every drummer has something to offer you can learn from! Just because you dont LIKE country music, don't assume the drummer sucks. They are working pros and making a living. I really didn't like playing Prince songs but I can tell you,  If my band was trying to play our favorite RUSH song, we wouldn't be working. And there is nothing like playing for 4000 people who want to see you! What a RUSH!...............Rock ON!   Don 8)
