Top Five Fave Drummers

Note:  Seeing there are some new members(fresh meat) afloat, it's heigh time for Señor Dµpek to trot out his tasteless bag of tricks, a la "dog & pony show"-style.  So here it is:

 Extra credit: Why are they your favorites? (Justify your love)

Dave Grohl.  Why?  His drumming electrified Queens of the Stone Age, and he was in Nirvana.
 
 Janet Weiss.  See Sleater-Kinney live, and you'll know why.
 
 Brian Rosenworcel.  It's not like Guster's my favorite band, but the guy plays with his hands!  He makes the band, in my opinion.
 
 John Bonham.  You don't really need a reason, do you.
 
 Four's all I can come up with.

The guy from the Bigger Lovers who played with the Pernice Brothers is quite good. Probably better than their normal drummer, who also drums for the Sadies.
 
 I think we noticed some band whose drummer was better than the rest of the band, but can't remember who.
 
 A lot of the best shows I've been to were by bands who didn't have drummers.

[MindCage]

Danny Carey - (Tool) Just amazing especially when they do odd time.
 
 Jean Paul Ganster - (Clutch) Just go see them live. It's all about the drummer! Reminds me a lot like John Bonham only tighter
 
 John Bonham - (Led Zep) One of my main influences as a drummer when I was younger.
 
 Neil Peart - (Rush) The Professor. Have you ever seen what his drum heads look like? Anyone that can play like him and have markings the size of quarters where his stick hits constantly deserves to be on anyone's list  
 
 Greg Bisonette (Studio drummer/Joe Satriani) - Anyone that can keep up with Satch on guitar and has put up playing with Dave Lee Roth has got to be a good guy right?    
 
 I could list more but those are probably the top five followed with Keith Moon of The Who right in there too.

Neil Peart
 
 John Bonham
 
 Lars Ulrich (just shut up, he's good)
 
 David Leach
 
 Mickey Hart
 
 
   not that i like all of these guys' bands, but they are amazing drummers nonetheless.

Keith Moon - The Who
 
 Do we really need to justify this?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

How about Jason Bohnam?

Best drummer I've seen recently is a guy named Earl Harvin, who played with Richard Thompson at the club this summer.

Faves:
 
 Stewart Copeland
 Bill Bruford
 John Bonham
 Dave Grohl
 Neil Peart

[Sir HC]

The drummer for Lake Trout.  See them live as this guy is amazing.  He can do a convoluted techno rhythm live.  Great dynamics, just wow.
 
 The drummer for the Dust Devils album "Struggling electric and chemical".  I think it is either someone named Reed or Gerald Crosley.  On this album, the drums are powerful, complex, and fit the songs perfectly.  They propel the songs forward.
 
 Keith Moon.  Insane drumming.  He had speed and a great sloppy precision.  Also famous for many non-drumming things such as hotel trashing, kit trashing, and just being trashed.  
 
 Bill Ward, Black Sabbath.  Heavy drumming.  Great beats, classic.
 
 Martin Atkins.  He has pounded the skins for many great bands including Ministry, PiL, Killing Joke, and Pigface.  Just listen to PiL's Flowers of Romance, the drums carry the whole thing.
 
 I would say John Bonham but I have heard his drumming more through the Beastie Boys than from Led Zepplin.  I know they are concidered a great band, but I never got too into them.

 Agreed about Lars, just cause he's a baby when it comes to Napster doesnt mean he isnt a great drummer.
