I forgot about this guy. He handled the drumming with one arm, just amazing.

Rating drummers is the kind of a thing that, uh, that's a stupid hobby

One word: Vinnie.



"Do you personally think that you're under-rated as a guitarist?

I think that I shouldn't be rated as a guitarist. I think that rating guitarists is the kind of a thing that, uh, that's a stupid hobby is rating guitar players.

You're a composer.

I'm a composer and my instrument is the guitar. If you like the composition, fine – I mean, my technique as a guitar player is ... fair. There are plenty of people who play faster than I do, never hit a wrong note, and have a lovely sound, okay? If you want to rate guitar players – go for them. But there isn't anybody else who will take the chances that I will take with a composition, live onstage in front of an audience – and just go out there and have the nerve, the ultimate audacity to say "Okay, I don't know what I'm gonna play, and you don't know what I'm gonna play, and that makes us equal so let's go, we'll have an adventure here." And, that's what I do. There's no way to rate that. You either like that kind of stuff or you don't." -- FZappa

I notice there are mostly Rock drummers posted, but there are some great drummers in other styles too.

 

[rightwinger]

I should have listed Ringo too.

Ringo was an acceptable drummer

The Beatles did not rely on monster drum solos. Ringo was not the best musician

He may not be a great soloist, but he WAS a musician with ears that made his drumming fit the music he was playing, There is more to musicianship than just soloing.

 

[edthecynic]

A perfect example of a drummer with ears. His drumming meshes perfectly with the bass solo.

It's safe to say that John , Paul and George would have made it with any good drummer.

Or Gil Moore ?
