Your favorite drummers favorite drummer

This is a bit awkward for me
But my favorite drummer is this guy.
He did for about 45 years around New York.
He had some stories
He’s my Dad .
Sorry for the huge photo.
His favorite drummer is definitely myself and my unbelievable talented percussionist. My sister.
But after that it’s for sure this man buddy rich

 

I agree that it would have to be Bonzo
But this lad is pretty good with paint tubs

 

Peart, end of.

 

I do like Will Calhoun from Living Colour too, specially on live footage. I love his unpredictable technical drumming, but sometimes equally enjoy the solid basics of the likes of Mr Rudd!

 

Topper..... now there’s a choice from left field!

 

I will take your Topper and raise you a Rat!

 

Tony Royster Jnr

 

Another one - Jacob Armen. No idea what he’s doing nowadays, but I saw loads of vids on YouTube years ago of him as a 5 year old kid completely embarrassing grown ups behind a kit. Quite good for odd time signatures and technical ability, but not a great deal of ‘feel’ to what he was playing. Very good drummer nonetheless!

 

Some folk are just in denial

 

Not bad - for beginners.

Let's have some proper Bernard "Pretty" Purdie. The famous Purdie shuffle at 3:45 (as stolen by John Bonham and numerous others).

It's Bern's "plasma" to be with you. Ow!

 

Was going to include the drummer from Spinal Tap, but unfortunately he's no longer with us

 

Or we could have some Senri Kawaguchi, who frankly could knock any rock drummer into a cocked hat, despite only being 5 foot tall and barely able to reach the pedals...

 

You do know who Dave Grohl' favourite drummer is don't you

 

Obviously not watched the 1st post Snotts

 

If you think that, you clearly know nowt about drumming,
