| I'm with Yachay, there's no way a list like that can ever be correct (or even exist) outside the realms of subjectivity. They can be fun, but I always find it kind of pointless and occasionaly annoying.
So, I'll just throw a few names out there in no particular order:
Bill Bruford
Britt Walford
Danny Carey
Charles Hayward
John McEntire
John Herndon
Todd Trainer
Matt Cameron
Jack Irons
.....
I'm not just trying to be clever by including some drummers from obscure bands, I truly believe that those guys have all presented the world with some seriously amazing and unique drumming, each for their own reasons. I urge you to check them out.
It would be good to share some tips on relative unknowns as well as citing the obvious great drummers, between us we must know a whole bunch of awesome but low-profile drummers. Let's spread some word. |
