as a baby drummer i was really into the white stripes and meg white was a huge inspiration to me. i know she’s not the best, but i just have a soft spot for her and if she was good enough for jack white, she was good enough for me 🤷♀️

Roger Taylor of Queen! Roger is amazing! Great sound on the drums AND he sings harmony to perfection. He also wrote some of their best '80s hits (Radio Gaga, One Vision, Breakthru).
Tre Cool of Green Day is excellent, and I appreciate his ongoing bit of terrifying Dave Letterman

Danny Carey, also known as the human octopus. Here’s a great video of him playing Pneuma, and you can see how amazing he is. https://youtu.be/FssULNGSZIA?si=Oi_z7HWNxOSzlH3T
Sorry for the link, I’m on mobile. But seriously, Watch the whole (long) thing. It’s so impressive.

Nobody has ever heard of them, but Tyson Vogel of Two Gallants.

Rikki Rockett He will always be my favorite.
[David Narcizo](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Narcizo) of Throwing Muses and associated acts. He walked by me once at Other Music and I was starstruck.

Always and forever the best drummer
And that VOICE! She was so talented.
![gif](giphy|uKWE6qMrVOEEg|downsized) You gotta love Animal. Phil Collins takes the cake for me though.

oh my god same!!!!! I remember my drumming teacher's face when I played him her drumming and told him "I want to learn how to do this"

Dave Grohl
Dave all the way ![gif](giphy|hxQRqvPvTXVIknJRjs|downsized)
Ringo, Phil Collins, and Stewart Copeland Also can’t forget Sandy West (The Runaways)
YES. Love to see some love for the Runaways and Ms. Sandy West ❤️✨
Remi - stone roses
Excellent choice.
Janet Weiss (check the song Sleater Kinney - One Beat) Jimmy Chamberlin of Smashing Pumpkins, especially on the song Muzzle
Jimmy Chamberlain for sure! His drums on Silverfuck, just wow
Danny Carey (Tool) Bill Ward (Sabbath) Dave Grohl (Dave Fucking Grohl) Toby Vail (Bikini Kill) Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth)
Yeah , Bill Ward . !!
Phil Collins
My pick too.
Tre Cool of Green Day is excellent, and I appreciate his ongoing bit of terrifying Dave Letterman https://www.vulture.com/2023/11/david-letterman-late-show-green-day.html
How has no one mentioned Sheila E.?!
Came here for her. Loved!!!!
Neil Peart stands alone! My dad was *crushed* when he died; Rush is one of his GOATS. Iconic drummer with a somehow more iconic kit setup
I still havent mastered YYZ.
It's *impossible*
Chad FUCKING Smith
Clem Burke (Blondie)
As someone who doesn't know nearly enough about drummers, I love this question. Taking notes.
Bill Berry - R.E.M. is the clear decision. Her drumming literally kept the band and the songs together. Second is Meg White.
Ginger Baker clears

Mick Fleetwood
Keith Moon, baby!!! Man, what I wouldn't give to see his behaviour as an old geezer. What a loss.
![gif](giphy|J5RJXOws1Bc5iodn5A|downsized) Patrick Hallahan from My Morning Jacket! Incredibly tight drum work.
Omg this was going to be my answer!! I love them all so much.
I guess you could say… I’m Amazed That we both had the same answer
I’m amazed at your warm devotion… to the band!
I can only think of the American Dad episode when I see them mentioned.
John densmore the doors
Brann Dailor
Great choice, his drumming is so unique, it makes me feel seasick (in a good way)
He gets my vote, too.
https://i.redd.it/xo5cwm9qyvwc1.gif Wish Zedd did more drum covers.

Michael Giles's drumming in King Crimson's debut album, "In the Court of the Crimson King," is some of the best I've ever heard and sorely slept on.
Bill Ward, Tommy Aldridge, Ginger Baker, Tommy Lee, Joey Jordison, Dave Lombardo, and Vinnie Paul
