old list is old but Rolling Stone's top 100 Drummers of all time

Stratophony

"Annihilator aren't getting on any lists soon man..."

he was Steve Vai's drummer for the longest time.... the dude isnt only a fierce drummer; but he fucking reeks of talent. Last i heard; he was still teaching at berkley.

If anyone deserves to be on this list; its him.... not fucking Lars Ulrich or Joey Jordison

Stratophony

+ Cozy Powell being there is sweet; he was crucial to the whole galloping thing Power metal lives on.

"Jesus christ, this is Rolling Stone, don't expect them to have some obscure metal drummers on there."

Behemoth is just as popular as Dimmu Borgir and their drummer made it on there.

no Eric Carr, Nick Menza, Gar Samuelson and Charlie Benate make this list a fail

laurjohn2

also, no Tommy Lee. he had some of the best kick ass drum solo's in the 80's

Alec29

No Buddy Rich. No Gene Krupa. No Peter Criss. No Randy Castillo.

laurjohn2

Peter Criss wasnt that great. Eric Carr and Eric Singer are a lot more talented

Alec29

I'd go along with that if there weren't less talented drummers on that list than Peter. (i.e. Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts)

laurjohn2

yeah, Winger's drummer made the list...lol

Oh jesus, I forgot he was Steve Vai's drummer...I feel really stupid right now...

No Buddy Rich though is an enormous omission, larger than any of the ones previously mentioned if you ask me.

I don't care if jordison is on the list
he's actually a pretty good drummer. Jus take Lars off. The only reason Lars is on there is because he's in metallica

MetalCoresades

at least the Rev wasnt on there.

^I would have sent them a very angry letter.

Rex_Capone420

vinny should be higher IMO

Brian

Is it a Rolling Stone rule to have a member of Soundgarden on every list?

Don't get me wrong, I love them, but they are nowhere near the best. Except Cornell.

^uh.....

at least the Rev wasnt on there.

if this list was dated a year later, he'd be on there (the list is dated jan 2009

drinkwine732

He died in late Dec right?

Its_Meh_Chew

something like that. my point is that if this list were current, they would find a way to put him on the list
