Hello all,

My favorite drummer is Ringo Starr, followed by Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell, Elvin Jones, Ed Thigpen, Tommy Igoe, John Densmore, to name a few. I admire John Bonham's style. There are many excellent drummers to name. Interesting question: " Who is one's favorite drummer?".

Actually, you should be your own favorite drummer. From then on it's fair game.

I would say Joe Morello,....he good even though he is blind.
next to him would be Alex Van Halen.

I guess my favorite drummer would be Ringo Starr. He was on the cutting edge of a 'new style and beat of Rock. He was lucky to be a Beatle but his own influence made their music unique. Ringo never seemed to "miss" a beat and there was much more percussion extras in their songs. I think his play opened the opportunity for drummers to express sounds and rythums.

Also I like other drummers, Gene Krupa, a showman drummer and Buddy Rich as well. Jazz drummers that played "Topsy Part I & II. I guess I dated myself again. But I think most drummers like their comptempary style. Mostly we recall the drummers that played a song that we really liked. Maybe we should hear about the best song by a certain drummer.

If you love Benard Purdie,try to learn "the purdie shuffle" it's great, looks easy, but don't let it fool you it takes a while.If you get the chance listen to Babalon sisters from steely dan, Purdie
play's the purdie shuffle on that song.Also check out Hillary Jones she's cool.Oh my favorite
of all times is Steward Copeland of the best band in my mind of all times the police.
