JohnRogers Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) Rolling Stone's Top 100 Drumers. Peart makes the top ten at four. Behind Ginger Baker, Keith Moon and John Bonham. Fair???

The Analog Cub Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Fair. The first 3 are main influences on #4. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Beating out Buddy Rich at 15 and Hal Blaine at 5. Yes fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) :codger: Having given this thirty seconds more thought, death may be having an unfair advantage here. If Bonzo and Moonie were still alive, I wonder where they'd be on the list. Edited March 31, 2016 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The only drummers I'd possibly put above Peart are not Baker, Bonham and Moon (as great as they all were). Bill Bruford, Vinnie Colaiuta, Tony Williams...I'd entertain those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctbadger Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I'd flip-flip Neil and Ginger. No Gavin Harrison on the list, or Portnoy, which I find really odd. They didn't snub prog, however, there are several on the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But someone claiming to be LedRush was at the Tulsa show. I know this for a fact because I saw a picture that Tex posted claiming it was of him and Led. If we can get a hold of his DNA, we may be able to get to the bottom of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Another silly list to troll for attention. Sure call it fair. Whatev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOH Lights Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I actually think Neil should be #1. He's so much more technical than the first 3 and he has never passed out mid-show from animal tranquilizers! :D IDK if he made the list or not, but I also have a special place in my heart for Carter Beauford. What are the Rolling Stone ratings based on? Subscriber votes? Editors choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Christian Vander coming in at #100! :smoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan poll. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack jaw gaze Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 :codger: Having given this thirty seconds more thought, death may be having an unfair advantage here. If Bonzo and Moonie were still alive, I wonder where they'd be on the list. The only perk of dying young is to be historically over-rated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very good, but alot of his work appears, at least to the non technical fan, to be fairly straight forward drumming. Peart is like a symphony, and every single fill is different! .
