Carter Beauford
nick barker
martin lopez
and vinnie paul

Chris Slade and lars ulrich...dont know to much anbout drummers. but chris slade is agreat drummer! played in uriah heep and ac/dc..he knows how to play different

em Matt Sorum from VR and Guns and Roses can play a great drum solo

Laura from the Eyeliners. <3

Matt Sorum, are you kidding?
Portnoy from the dream theater is the best drummer in the world. You don't have any idea how hard it is to play in progressive metal band.

OK, two main ones for me:
Jon Theodore - The Mars Volta (The quickest, and most furious drumming I have seen)

and

DH Peligro - The Dead Kennedys.

My favorite is Levon Helm, from The Band. I like his singing.

Dave Grohl! HAhahahahaha.

I second Kool Ranch's choice.

And i'll throw in the fellow in the Steve Miller Band.

Bill Stevenson.

Honestly, I love him more for how funny he was in The Decline of Western Civilization then for his drumming skills, but every band he's been in has been awesome.

Also, something random!

My favorite bass guitarist is Robert Sledge, because I like to say "Robert Sledge on the bass guitaaaaaaar!".

Abraham Cunningham

I also really like the guy from incubus... He's really good

Ringo Starr. :)

Joey Jordison is my fav. Hes so good.

Mine is Brandon Steinekert.

Ahmir Thompson (also known as ?uestlove) from The Roots. A lot of people think they use samples.. they don't.. ?uestlove is just that good.

John Tempesta is one of the best drummers ever. He's been in so many great bands, most known for White Zombie/Rob Zombie (solo).

no one has named any black metal or death metal drummers. i mean, lars ulrich, and matt sorum are average, but come on ppl, get to the real deals here:

Hellhammer
Adrian (from COF)
Nicholas Barker

and no one has named the #1 drummer, John Bonham, or Neil Peart.

real deals??? you say black metal drummers are better?....NOOB:P

Mine is Brandon Steinekert.
Kool, hes so good.

My faves are:

Tommy Sickles - Nothingface
He has a nice jazzy type style that I really like to listen too.

John Dolmayan - System of a Down
This band wouldn't be as big as they are without him. Really unique style.

Jason Roeder - Neurosis
He has this weird Tribal style that he mixes with jazz beats. Really crazy sounding at times.

Daney Carey - Tool
Another crazily unique style. Friggin' love it.

Igor Cavalera - Sepultura
Major Tribal beats. Of course, they're from Brazil so it makes sense.

Brian Viglione - The Dresden Dolls
Okay, to explain this, you just have to see him live. He's un-fucking-believable.

sepultura's drummer is very good...love that african thing he does

Tommy Lee, This guy played his drums upside down in the air while the cage was spinning-Motely Crue.

So did Slipknot's Joey Jordisson....and a few other guys, but their names aren't popping into my head.

I'll look it up later.

Richard John Cyril Allen

The one-armed drummer for Def Leppard.

I mean, cos handicapped and still plays better than a hell of a lot of drummers in other bands that have two arms.

Lars Ulrich.

I agree. The skill that Mike Portnoy possesses is... unbelievable. Oh yes, and also my drummer idol Virgil Donati is totally awesome!

@ Bruce so thats why you hate The Rapture. Becuase your music taste is so narrow that you only like mostly Heavy Metal bands.

*sigh* OK.

Yoshiki from X-japan, Dave Grohl, Keith Moon from the Who, John Bonzo from Led Zeppelin, and many others.

Mike Portnoy from dream theater, he is the best.

Danny Carey from Tool is without question one of the best =)
We also have Nic France, plays it and make it look like it's nothing. Very interesting drum playing. And then we have Ged Lynch, he have played with David Sylvian and Peter Gabriel.
Very stylish basic drumplay with some nice touches that makes it very good.
Think i have something to stay on this thing since i've played drums for about 6 years/4 times a week ;)
