Best Drummer Singers would also include Don Brewer and Phil Collins.

I love Tool and was about to say Danny. Me and Trouty used to post Tool videos in the off topic threads way back when. Lol

Not sure, I think he was focusing on his son more? I didn’t hear anything bad, but not 100%.

Bolded the right one, IMO. How someone can be so expressive, creative, and quick, while absolutely crashing the skins is mind boggling.

I think he felt he had a better chance of being sober without this forum. He expressed something to that effect, IIRC.

I don't know his name, but the guy who plays for John Mellencamp always caught my ear.

Tommy Aldridge is top 5. Bernard Purdie, the top session Drummer. He was part of the wrecking crew if you will, back in the 50,60's and 70's, that could come in and play anything with perfection. He played on like 21 Beatles songs in the studio and its what you hear on the finished album cuts. Not to mention the hundreds of other musicians/bands he did drumming for in studio. He was known for being the fixer . Hes my fave. Tommy Aldridge. is known for honing that metal sound with his style. I do love Carmine and Vinny Appice, I must admit. Those guys are studs.

Rick Allen is the spirit of drumming. He is an innovative guy. Special in his own right. I wouldn't ever call him the best, but when you hear a Def Leppard song, you immediately can tell it apart from any other groove. Its the drumming. His desire alone and love for music and drumming shows up big. Thats what makes Def Leppard work. Hes the glue.

When Donnie isn't lip synching that is. But yeah, his drumming is fantastic from a spot on technical point of view.

I was waiting to see if Donny Brewer was mentioned.
One of my favorite groups if not my favorite. Grand Funk railroad.
A friend of mine was a drummer and eventually had a decent band that played around our home town area. But he practiced and practiced, until he got T.N.U.C. down pretty well.
I have all of their Vinyl records still. Stored away.
When "Caught in the Act" double live LP came out. I skipped school in the afternoon to go buy it. I did not have many classes that afternoon. 2 study halls, and a few other non important classes.

Vastly underrated. Easily top 5. First time I saw him was with Black Oak Arkansas in 1973 on their Raunch 'N' Roll Live tour. He ended his drum solo by throwing his sticks in the crowd and finishing his solo with his hands.
I just realized.....that was 50 years ago?
