The real great drummers give an extra dimension to the music overall, which complements the other players. In such cases, for the full effect of music the drums are just as important as the guitars.

Honestly, I think Mikkey Dee's greatest strength is his ability to integrate himself into the different bands he's been in. He sounded great in King Diamond, then adapted himself to really fit in with Motorhead while sacrificing none of his talents, then did the same thing with the Scorpions. He was always a great player, but he brought something to every band he played with, and that's not, IMO, all that common. Glad to see him there. Also, Neil Peart is not someone whom I'd consider a metal drummer per se, but he's so freaking good that he places third on a metal list all the same! RIP Mr. Peart, you are missed.

It's great to see absolutely brilliant drummers from bands we love and that I guess shaped our lives in some sort of way...My soft spot is for Bill Ward, a guy that without me knowing, created my Black Sabbath love through drums of Jazz, swing ( like Philty Phil in Motorhead Ace of spades), gallop beats etc.& with his fills of being a comp drummer...made it difficult for others to copy him as Vinnie Appice said to him. I saw a collection of drumsticks from many rock & metal drummers...and Bill Wards seemed to be rim & Symbol chipped around the handle area...which I guess he was a reverse holder....pretty sure in this clip so was Nick Menza from Megadeth. Love Cozy Powell's drums on "TYR" album Black Sabbath...so dominant but apt for the music and themed album...long may they live in our memories!❤

Gene Hoglan is already included ,but Sean Reinert`s work (RIP) on Death`s album "Human (1991) was/is totally mind-blowing, even today by the standards of technical death-metal drumming. (incredible that no one handed him the Noble prize for that work afterwards) 🔥🔥🔥

Quite hard to pick only 10. As a very, very humble drummer myself I love so many of them. But Mario Duplantier, Vinnie Paul and Aquiles Priester would definitely be in my top 10. Charlie Benante, Bobby Jarzombek, Igo Cavalera and Vinnie Appice easily in the 20.

Rush's only drummer gor like 40 years was the late Neil Peart. He also said he wasn't a drummer BUT a percussionist. Not egotistical, extremely bright and talented. Simply a down to earth guy from eastern Canada who has been described as 1 of the FEW, BEST rock drummers in the world...

I'm surprised that Ventor from Kreator didn't get mentioned, probably because a lot of people don't know his real name, Jürgen Reil, and he was way ahead of a lot of other drummers back in '83. Also surprised that C.O.C.'s Reed Mullin didn't make the top 30, another killer influential drummer.
@Wanderer_1877 Жыл бұрын
Ventor is there in the top 30. Though it's true that on English speaking territories they often don't recognize German artists as much as they should be.

Bill Ward's drumming on the first six Black Sabbath albums is essential listening. Special mention goes to Jimmy Economou for his work with Buffalo, in particular the album Volcanic Rock from 1973. Phil Taylor and Mickey Dee were not friendly like Lemmy, but I got Phil's signature 3 times and Mickey's once.
