YYZumbi Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 These are 3 legend drummers that people that enjoy good music seem to talk a lot about, and some even consider them god of drumming. I like all 3 of them, and their bands they are in, so to me this is a really hard question to answer. But I want to know which drummer is your favorite and why!

MalformedEarthborn Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Dale Crover is my favourite drummer but of the 3 I'll say Neil. He doesn't rock as hard as the other two, but his little frills and the language of his drumming, especially teamed with Ged, makes him special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condemned2bfree Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Bill Ward is certainly the most underrated on this list. Mr Wards drumming is great and often forgotten under the Iommi power riffage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Ward is (really was) a very inventive and "swingy" drummer for a guy in a metal band. But Peart is far and away the most talented rock drummer ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Roger Taylor is not the best drummer, he is in fact kinda boring as a drummer in my opinion (except for in the early 70s, then he was more fun as a drummer).

I’d argue a great drummer knows what’s best to play for what song, and SHA or ANATO alone are proof of Roger’s mastery of this concept.

I have seen Queen+ 3 times in my life, and seen Roger do 3 different drum solos, and no, I am not impressed with his drum skills. But he is still perfect for Queen! But in my opinion it is Brian and Freddie that is the strong part in Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Neil Peart. How many drummers have changed a band's musical and lyrical direction when they joined the way Neil did with Rush? He was such a special talent that he got Geddy and Al to up their game significantly. Ward and Bonham were fantastic as well. But I'm not so sure Sabbath and Zeppelin don't have the similar success with other drummers. Without Neil I think Rush is finished before 1980. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in my opinion it is Brian and Freddie that is the strong part in Queen. Oh well, I think he’s a master. And he has a very distinct backbeat that suits Queen’s pomp perfectly. The little clips of open high hat with the snare on 2 and 4 give me so much joy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that I think, when I am listening to Queen, the drums is not something I go "wow" for, at least not on the albums made in the 80s and forward. But I do go "wow" for Brian's guitar and Freddie's voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do go "wow" for Brian's guitar and Freddie's voice. I understand. I’m just pointing out that, while his drumming doesn’t speak to you as much as many other drummers, it does speak to me more than almost anyone. I know Hammer To Fall is a plain and simple rock beat, but it’s probably my favorite part of the song. Somehow the way Roger plays it feels so free and overwhelmingly fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
