11 Greatest Drummers Ever: Anthrax and Pantera's Charlie Benante Picks
Рет қаралды 339,931
Жыл бұрынCharlie Benante is one of metal's most respected drummers, from his 40-plus years in Anthrax to his recent gig behind the kit of the newly-reformed Pantera. The guy not only knows how to play, but he has a near-scientific understanding of what makes a rock and/or metal drummer exceptional. We asked him to pick who he considers the 11 greatest drummers of all time, and he traced a line from the Beatles to Metallica to Dimmu Borgir.
Watch his picks above and let us know some of your top drummers in the comments below!

I love Charlie but I don't think Vinnie would be very happy about it at all. He repeatedly dismissed the idea of a reunion without his brother and now with both of them gone, arguably the core of Pantera, it just feels wrong. If they were to market it as a tribute and go by a name which reflects that I think it would be far more respectful.

It makes perfect sense that Charlie likes drummers that add feeling to the music instead of just speed or intensity. I've always said that's where Charlie excels, he plays the perfect parts for the songs, not just speed or showing off. He understands what works as well as anyone ever has. I play guitar and Charlie is still one of my favorite metal heroes and there's only a handful of drummers on that list. Classy, professional, highly underrated, and one of the best music IQs ever.

He retrained himself to play almost immediately and I am so very proud to say Rick Allen is one of a kind.

Love your observations about Ringo, you are so right on. And Rain, forget about it. From 1963 (I was 15) to 66 his drumming was on the radio 24/7. It was the most wonderful 'brainwashing' of drums and harmonies. I dreamed it at night. The thing I loved about Bonham was how perfectly he separated his right foot from his right hand. No matter if he was doing quads with his foot or counter rhythms with his right hand, the separation was perfect. The only other Rock drummer I ever heard who could equal that was Gary Driscoll, Ronnie Dio's drummer before Sabbath. The fastest foot I ever heard and saw. Separated accented 32nd notes. Nobody had more of an influence on my drumming than Gary. He could do things with one foot I couldn't do with double bass. And Keith was so syncopated in the 60s when drummers were into that syncopation. Keith, Mitch Mitchell, Ian, Clive Bunker, etc. When Jean Luc Ponty left Zappa and went solo, on every album he had a different great drummer.

Thank you did your list, allow me to give you mine. This is in no particular order, and yes, you're on my list. These drummers are on this list not only for being my favorite but for being inspirational, making me wanna be a drummer in the first place 1) Robert Sweet-Stryper: his showmanship is 2nd to none. Before him, any double kick I heard were rare. During the song "You Know What You Do" it was the 1st timei ever heard anyone do a double kick fill in the chorus of a song. Blew my mind at the time, and it still does. 2) Mikkey Dee-King Diamond, Don Dokken, Motorhead Key songs: Black Horsemen, Invisible Guests 3) You-Anthrax; the 1st time I heard you on "Antisocial" my mind was blown, totally 4) Tommy Aldridge- Ozzy, Whitesnake, Yngwie Malmsteen, Iconic 5) Nick Menza- Megadeth 6) Cozy Powell-Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, 7) Nicole McBrain-Iron Maiden 8) Joey Scott-Lizzy Borden 9) Shawn Drover-Megadeth 10) Jimmy Dr Grasso-Megadeth, Ratt Thanks for listening P.S.

I’d like to add a drummer who is highly underrated. Gil Moore from Triumph. Not only was he a fantastic drummer, but he could sing and write also.

Charlie is a hella good drummer himself. I met him in Gatwick airport in London in 1989 & he was nice as hell. My brother was jazzed because he was very into Anthrax

Great video. I do miss Tommy Aldridge in the video. He must have been a source of inspiration too for Charlie. But I get it he can’t name everyone that would make more than 11😀 Charlie is a legend, can’t wait for the upcoming Anthrax album. Keep it going Charlie 👊🏻⚡️👊🏻

I was very pleasantly surprised with the kudos to Bill Ward, Terry Bozzio and Clive Burr. The first 2 are on my favorites list, and early Maiden with Burr and Di'Anno esp. Killers is the best Maiden imho.

Can’t wait to see him with Anthrax in January, got VIP too, and seeing him again with Pantera in 2024. Awesome to see Neil Peart here. Rush is one of my favorite bands.

Keith Moon was the lead/soloist instrument in The Who and Entwhistle and Townsend were the rhythm section which was made them so unique. Also Moon did wierd left lead double bass drum flams on songs hugely filling out what would otherwise be a basic 1 & 3 count with a single bass drum. It's unique and I've never really heard anyone else to that except maybe Alex Van Halen sometimes?

Charlie can’t you make yourself #1? You are one of the best drummers I have had the pleasure of listening to for over the past 30 years…. You put a lot to shame and especially now through the years on how consistent you are and perfect!!!!!!

Love it! Brann Dailor had Lars Ranked 2. Charlie has him 11. These guys know what they're talking about! They have the Lars haters on strings, dancing! 🕺🤣😂 And they aren't the only drummers that love Lars! These drummers love Lars, too: - Mike Portnoy - Joey Jordison - Mario Duplantier - Brann Dailor - Charlie Benante - Dave Grohl - Taylor Hawkins - Travis Barker - Neil Peart - Bill Ward - Chuck Biscuits - Phil Rudd - Mikkey Dee - Dave Lombardo The list goes on! Not to mention the millions of fans that love Lars. And KZfaqrs that upload videos of them learning and playing Lars' drum beats. And other musicians other than drummers that love Lars! Nice to see people with credibility that know what they're talking about say how great Lars is! Too many haters on their couch with cookie crumbs on their belly talking shit!

It’s that Lars is terrible or anything and yes he was inventive early on ,we all agree. He’s just not a very skilled player, nothing personal a lot are not. Drummer Jeff Campatelli was asked to come in by a producer to work him on his skills That’s OK. Definitely very popular household name & he’s still out there doing it.

Les Binks is one of the most underrated foundational metal players; great to hear him recieve some recognition. Awesome intro to “Exciter” on Unleashed in the East. Charlie Benante has always been in my top 5 metal musicians, as a drummer that is also a guitarist and lyricist; your input towards Anthrax’s music is inspirational. Shout outs, respect and thanks from Australia, cheers

Charley Man!!! You are also among the greats. Listen, you are accurate, fast but what I like the most about you are the surprises. You are groovy... You will play something fast but suddenly you bring in this fruit loopy shuffle that was not expected... You are truly under rated and amazing.
