Is Phil Collins The Best Drummer "Alive" Today.

[Capital Amatuer]

Chester Thompson was recruited by Phil Collins as the tour drummer. I'd say that accomplishment qualifies him as a good drummer.
Cesar Zuiderwijk of Golden Earing fame, Ian Paice from Deep Purple and I have always appreciated Stewart Copeland's style. Too many to list to even choose a favourite let alone choose who's the best.

What? No votes for Meg White?

I love The North Mississippi All-Stars and Luther Dickinson,

His brother Cody is on drums.

Rick Allen
Larry Mullen Jr:
Jason Bonham
Alex Van Halen

Of the former Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Russell Simins.

Some JSBX

 

[Twister]

Billy Cobham one of the greatest, those who love jazz know who he is.

 

[Insidious Von]

Chester Thompson played on several Frank Zappa albums, that makes him a GREAT drummer.

 

[Insidious Von]

Probably the one song that influenced Rush the most. Bill Bruford is a beast!

 

[Insidious Von]

Although radically different yet somewhat familiar, Neil Peart influenced Dave Lombardo.

 

[Insidious Von]

Instead of listing them all, the Neil Peart Fan Club.

 

[Robert Mugabe]

Instead of listing them all, the Neil Peart Fan Club.

I saw Rush with John Rutsey at the Gasworks AND at Larry's Hideaway. Say no more....

 

[bazokajoe]

Danny Carey from Tool is pretty darn good.

Although not well known I've always liked Billy Kilson. Have seen him live probably 4 times.

What? No votes for Meg White?

Meg White is only great as a White Stripes drummer, with her flawed technical skills she couldn't play with any other band, that what most critics says.

 

[Butler1000]

Alive or dead Neil Peart.

He was no slouch, just not into progressive rock. RIP.

What year was that? I saw Rush at the Gasworks many, many years ago. They were really loud and I had no idea who the band members were.

Ian Paice you say? Here's little ditty featuring Paice that will get your toe tapping. Enjoy.

74 probably. The year the first album came out.

I would say that Phil is up there. But I have these drummers rated higher than him
Danny Carey (Tool)
Stewart Copeland (The Police)
Bernard Purdie
Danny Seraphine (Chicago)
