I've been playing drums and percussion since I was 6 years old.
Here's my list of

Best Drummers:

Buddy Rich - any drummer who knows his stuff knows he's #1
Neil Peart - Innovative, Incredible (and he's Canadian, eh!)
John Bonham - Did things no one knew could be done.
Keith Moon - My personal fave
Carter Beauford - from Dave Matthews Band - even if you hate
the band's music, he is an incredible drummer.

Always liked Ginger Baker

 

[Paws]

Nick Mason from Pink Floyd

 

[WhOiSyOdAdDy?]

How about Peter Criss?

 

[Lil'Miss]

Carter Beauford is my personal favorite.
Danny Carey from Tool is awesome too.

Also a percussionist since I was young, I completely agree with DenWa's list.

My Fav:


Neil Peart
Harvey Mason
Cozy Powell (RIP)
John Bonham (RIP)

And, Phil Collins...................just kidding here. I am more into his writing than his drumming, not that he is any bad drummer, mind you.

 

[Keyser Soze]

... in no particular order ...

Charlie Watts (Stones)
combo: Butch Trucks // Jamoie (Allman Brothers Band)
Ginger Baker (Derek and the Dominos ... Derek is Eric)
Ray Cooper (backs up Elton John, Eric Clapton, others)

 

[Cardinal Fang]

Alex VanHalen

Ringo Starr

 

[DenWa]

Alex Van Halen is definitely underrated, although I wouldn't put him in the top 5.

 

[WhOiSyOdAdDy?]

If we are talking about percussionists, you cannot forget about Stompin' Tom

 

[DenWa]

and Tito Puente

 

[DenWa]

I love Kiss, but Peter Criss kind of sucks...doesn't even hold his sticks right.

 

[eyeofthedragon]

Phil Collins

 

[eyeofthedragon]

and who was the drummer from Def Lepard - the guy with one arm?

 

[eyeofthedragon]

yea that was him

 

[Don]

and who was the drummer from Def Lepard - the guy with one arm?

Rick Allen. Was a soild drummer before but after his accident he got by using recorded drum fills he'd activate by pushing a foot pedal.
