Who are the best/your favorite drummers in the business today?
 

So I'm gonna invest in buying a drum kit.

But in the time being, answer question (in title)

:y:

Lars from Metallica, although he's an asshole.

Danny Carey - TOOL
Brian Vigilione (sp?) - Dresden Dolls

Danny Carey - Tool
Brad Wilk (Audioslave and ex-RATM) is a stud too, but he's no Danny

The drummer from Godsmack also rules. Sully isn't a bad drummer himself either.

Thomas Lee

I knew you;d say that

So did I. He is the best drummer.

Tommy Lee and Lars 'Anyone who downloads metallica illegally will be killed by me' Ulrich



TRY IT LARS, TRY IT :mad: :mad: :mad:

LOL

Chris Pennie - Dillinger Escape Plan
Mike Portnoy - Dream Theater

Danny Carey

Keith Moon.

Keith Moon is greatness too, but he asked for today (as in alive I assume).

I know, but he's too good to leave off :D

MIKE PORTNOY!!! (Dream Theater)

Mike Portnoy rules.

Also Martin Lopez (Former Amon Amarth and Opeth).

Igor Cavalera (Ex:'()Sepultura.

Also, Jason Rullo from Symphony X rules.

Shawn Drover - Megadeth

I was going to give her a mention, too. She's not the absolute greatest on the kit, but the way she moves her head is eerie as fuck.

Yeah, he was solid in Meliah Rage.

Nobody mention Lars again. He might as well be a floutist for all the talent he has at drums.

Yeah, he's dynamite as well. However, I would recommend not starting out with Dream Theater or Tool as your first songs on the drums. You'll probably end up not getting them and then give up on drumming altogether, which is no good.

What he said.

And Travis Barker, too.

Scott Travis - Judas Priest (arguably the best double bass drummer)
Robb Reiner - Anvil (anyone know Anvil? Canadian Legends)
Dan Beehler - Exciter (can sing almost as well as Rob Halford in addition to drumming)
Bobby Jarzombek - Halford / Sebastian Bach

Vinnie Paul
?uestlove

I dunno. That setup looks simple enough to me. :shifty:

Well we aren't all prodigies like you are, KK.

My 8 extra arms help...

Joey Jordison

That line cracked me up :lol:

Stanton Moore of Galactic. He played on the last COC album (In the Arms of God). The intro to the title track and fills are fucking INSANE. He's also the best drummer I've ever seen live, and I say that after having seen Vinnie Paul, Dave Lombardo, Danny Carey, Dale Crover, Paul Bostaph, and a horde of other killer percussionists.

Stanton Moore is pretty awesome.

No mention of Travis Barker yet :(
