+1 on Portnoy.

I saw DT for the first time last May in Washington D.C. and he is not just a drummer. He is an entire rhythm section!

Best drummers write songs through rythm while keeping the beat. Good drummers keep the beat. Bad drummers don't do either.

 

[MrMarkIII]

Roland and Alesis are pretty good. :lol:

 

[Riff Blister]

Neil Peart
Alex Van Halen
Terry Bozzio (Zappa)
Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree)

 

[Carpdawg]

Neil Peart - no need to elaborate.

Alex Van Halen - best rock drummer ever....under appreciated due to the guitar wizardry of his bro.

Charlie Watts - just because he's made a lot of $ without changing a beat ever in 50 yrs.

Lars Ulrich - even though I think he's a douche, and a know it all, and an attention *****, I think he's pretty good (at least recorded)...I'm not sure how many tracks are spliced together....Heard him live 3 times...sounded legit, but who knows...

Ginger Baker - saw him at a drum clinic about 20 yrs ago...spaced out, but could keep a good beat...especially in a 3 piece like Cream...

Nicko McBrain - good chops

Mick Fleetwood - any drummer who can sell umpteen millions of records with your name in the band name is pretty worthy...

Dave Grohl - from Nirvana drummer to guitar/singer w/ the Foo Fighters...pretty multidimensional.
