What about the Master of the Big Beat, the Mighty Mighty Max Weinberg

He's horrible anarl. Sounds like a five year old kid who just got a kit last Christmas.

The best are funk drummers - there's a session bloke called John Blackwell who has played with Cameo and I last saw with Prince - absolutely mind-blowing.

Can't be arsed with heavy metal drummers. Used to love the inventiveness of Sharrock in the Icicle Works.

We'll agree to disagree about Max, but what about Richard Bailey - heard Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow album?
 
The Steve Harper of rock, tapping out his 4/4 beats track after track after track. I often wonder what the Stones might have been like if they'd had a Keith Moon type drummer instead of that lazy git.


You are a tinker you like Tex;)

The Julie Burchill of the SMB
 
Keith Moon and Cozy Powell were canny - not so good now. Neil Peart from Rush and Roger Taylor from Queen can play a bit.

Agreed.Played some fantastic stuff on their last album as a three piece,and then may as well have been hitting cardboard boxes when he joined The La`s.Nowt against The La`s like there just wasn`t room for a drummer of his talent within the framwork of their songs.

Favourite drummers for me are...Bill Bruford,Keith Moon,Dave Grohl,Stewart Copeland,Mark Brzezicki,Martin Gilks,Matthew Priest,Barriemore Barlow,Budgie,Terry Chambers.
