in your opinion, who is the best rock drummer of all time?
Mine is a tossup between Keith Moon and Neil Peart

Buddy Rich?(perhaps more jazz than rnr)
John Bonham?
or
Mike Portnoy?

for future reference...
Buddy Rich ( www.buddyrich.com ) is called by many "the best drummer of all time"
and Mike Portnoy ( www.mikeportnoy.com )has been the drummer for progressive metal band "Dream Theater" (my favorite band, btw) for 11+ years, amongst many other side projects and guest appearances.

Posted: 4/19/07 at 5:05pmWhile there is no doubt that Buddy Rich is one of the greatest drummers of all time, I have never known him to be associated with Rock and Roll.

Neal Peart? Rock and Roll? That's fricking prog-jazz fusion noodling.
You wanna hear the heart of rock and roll beating? Calling Meg White.

Posted: 4/19/07 at 9:54pmhey pab, i don't suppose you took notice to the fact that in parentheses is "perhaps more jazz than RNR" hmm, seems a little redundant.

Ah the Throwing Muses. YOU'RE the real Ramona, n69n.
I actually have a tie, two absolute favorites. Mr. Peter Prescott of the incredibly fantastic Mission of Burma. And, of course, Mr. Brian Viglione of the Dresden Dolls (pictured left).
