Favourite Drummer

[Crusader]

Nick Menza ex-megadeth
Mr Glockler, Mr McBrain and Mr Travis (as everyone previously mentioned)
"Inferno" of Behemoth, incredible drummer, the most intense drumming i've heard, leaves no "blanks" in his playing. Check them out.

Years ago I took the drum solo at gigs as an opportunity to get another beer but since I've actually paid attention I was blown away by Neil Peart! Tommy Aldridge (bare-handed solo) and Ian Paice were also pretty amazing.

I like Nigel a lot, and Pete Gill as well... There are lots of good drummers, but I would have to say my favourite would have to be either Les Binks from 77-79 Judas Priest or maybe Dave Holland from 80-88 Judas Priest.

Les Binks was class, very technical especially considering his era with Priest...Dave Holland...what a horrible evil bastard he turned out to be. Terrible to think he played on so many classic Priest cds/tours .. Still im sure that 8 year stretch will sort him right right the fuck out, lets hope someone owns his ass (in a very violent, non sexual way i mean)

Mike Portney (Dream Theater) made me realise that there are other mortals on this planet that can play as well as Peart!
Scott Rockenfield from 'Queensryche' is very versatile.
Brain from 'Primus' is like Stewart copeland on Acid!
Roger Taylor from 'Queen' could turn it on sometimes but was so inconsistant that I reckon Queen had about four different drummers!!

So are you back then Nightwar ????

I found his email in one of my old pm's so i emailed him, hopefully he will return to the flock as i have

Les Binks-never recognized for the great drummer he was, I am surprised the PRIEST never mention his name.

Cozy Powell-The king, met him when touring with Brian May.Great Guy.

Jason Bonham- After watching him on UFO's live dvd. I was blown away.

Yeah.. It's a pity that he turned out to be... that sort of person. But what an excellent drummer he was.

For me it's hard to say which drummer is good and which is not, because I'm not a drummer myself. That's why I just have to say which drummer I don't like and which drummer I do like. Those drummers who concentrate on how fast they can play are not my favourites. Same goes to guitarists as well though.

Fair point mate, and its pretty sad really when you think about it.

Watched Frozen Rainbow (from Chronicles and Rock Legends DVD) and I have to say that Nigel is a bloody good drummer! I like his style.
