Name two underrated drummers (Not necessarily the best):

[JonMc]

My drumming mate says Ben Bevan and Cozy Powell never gets mentioned in the same circles as otherths even though he's 'a name'.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

Topper Headon from The Clash

Vinny Appice, late Sabbath, Dio among others

 

[Vinyl Score]

John Bonham
Ginger Baker
he he

 

[PTID]

Kevin Wilkinson RIP

Waterboys, China Crisis. amongst others

 

[Hawkeye]

Judas Priest with "You Got Another Thing Coming" live in 1986 iirc... think Dave Holland is the drummer on a set of Tama's.. when you crank it up the sound he has is just so solid....

 

[Swindon On Tour]

Cozy Powell was a class drummer and a Swindon fan.
Used to have a kick around with us in the park. Decent bloke.

I was going to say Powell isn`t exactly under rated

John Bonham
Ginger Baker

Actually Speaking of Bonhams Johns boy Jason is a cracking drummer.

 

[Redhouser]

Number 1 is Gary Powell, number 2 is Gary Powell. number 3 is Gary Powell........... We all live in a Gary Powell world.

 

[BROOMFIELD]

Bev Bevan.

Fuel for Life tour? Released as Priest....Live iirc

 

[Redhouser]

Craig Gill RIP. Inspiral carpets drummer and founder of Manchester music tours (Oasis, Smiths etc). Very under rated drummer - see live version of "She comes in the Fall" from 1990. Great bloke. Took his own life. Very sad story.

 

[TicoTorres]

[chriswallace85]

Brian Downey - Thin Lizzy @Kingdom Bhoy - Excellent. (Superb Timing)
Bill Ward - Black Sabbath (Versatile)

End of thread.

 

[Secret Visage]

I was just about to mention The Hitman. Very underated, overshadowed by BJ and Sambora.

Also this fella.

Steve Upton

 

[EcosseMackem]

I've been very impressed by Jim McCauley, who has taken over Jet Black's duties in the Stranglers
Budgie was superb in the halcyon days of Siouxsie and the Banshees

 

[Hawkeye]

Fuel for Life tour? Released as Priest....Live iirc

That was the closest I could find on YouTube in my inebriated state last night! Yes, from Priest... Live I think. I have a Japanese 12" single from 1983 - Green Manalishi (live) on A-side, B is Breaking the Law and You've Got Another Thing Coming - both live. The sound of the drums on that is immense...

Have seen Budgie a few times recently with John Grant and I reckon it's the only time I've watched the drummer closely, I was mesmerised

Cozy Powell is a legendary drummer, not underrated at all. Being dead for 23 years will often mean you slip from peoples minds though.
