My Favorite Drummers

Before I start naming drummers, I would like to tell that if you think that someone should be added to the list, just post me a comment and I will look into it.

1. Neil Peart- Rush He is the greatest ever, WITHOUT A DOUBT!!
2. Mike Portnoy-Dream Theatre He is so accurate and percise, it seems unhuman.
3. The Rev-Avenged Sevenfold His double bass are like two cannons going off one after another.
4. Travis Barker-Blink 182, +44 He is the ultamite punk rock drummer.
5. John Bonham-Led Zeppelin Just and all around great drummer.
6. Keith Moon-The Who The greatest drummer from the 70's.
7. Buddy Rich-Jazz Great The greatest jazz drummer of our time.
8. Chad Smith-Red Hot Chili Peppers His groovy beats are some of my favorites.
9. Joey Jordison-Slipknot He is the fastest rock drummer ever.
10. Jojo Mayer-Nerve One of my favorite jazz drummers.
11. David Schoeberl-Independent Quite possibly the best drummer ever.

David I have to nominate Ralph Cooper from Air supply. When he rocked out on "I'm all out of Love" it was crazy. A real head banger. If you don't remember the song, ask your mom.
