Re: 100 Greatest Rock Drummers My top ten out of the 100;
1. Peart
2. Portnoy
3. Paice
4. Bozzio
5. Palmer
6. Moon
7. McBrain
8. Powell
9. Rullo
10. Jordinson
After that it gets hard. I may be sacrilege, but I was never super impressed by Bohnam or guys like Peter Criss. I think the band's name made them more famous then their drumming. I think Jason is a better drummer then his father ever was. But I do like their music. (Zep/Kiss) The guys above, especially Peart and others have real control and depth, well maybe not Moon, who was out of control, but made it look like "Controlled Insanity." Powell had a controlled power and guys like Jordinson and a very controlled speed. No one will ever agree on a exact top 100, but for what it's worth, these are my first 10. |
