Who are some of your favorite drummers all-time, in any music genre?

[Cancel 2020.2]

My all-time favorite drummer is John Bonham, of Led Zeppelin fame, to this day he's THE most powerful drummer I've heard. Followed by Keith Moon, of The Who, Neil Peart, of Rush, Bill Bruford, of Yes, King Crimson, and various other groups and ensembles, Ginger Baker, of Cream, and Buddy Rich, THE best jazz drummer I've heard. And Honorable Mention to Jim Keltner, session drummer extraordinaire, his great drumming has featured in literally hundreds and hundreds of recording sessions.

And Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, of The Rolling Stones, and Carl Palmer, of Emerson, Lake and Palmer (ELP) round out my favorite ten.

Stuart Copland is excellent. Carter Beauford in DMB. I liked David Robinson of Cars and carmine Apace. Of course those already mentioned. Bonzo was epic.

The little girl is not my favorite of all time, but she is good and she would do, Ron Bushey of Iron Butterfly proud too!

Chester Thompson is not only good but very versatile.
