ProAc-
I agree with you 100%. On the 4th we had this discussion out on the lake. But let us not forget - Buddy Rich Everybody agreed, at least those who know music, heavy metal drummers were a dime-a-dozen. They only there to pound with there sticks, not very technical g

Hey Gee if you use Kazaa type in Rush for your search criteria and theres an 8 minute drum solo from Neil Peart that is simply amazing. I went to the same high school that Neil did. Teachers told me he just sat there drumming on his desk all day. I guess he had the last laugh!!

Tho I was never a huge Fan of Zep Music I have to give respect to JOHN BONHAM and of course Mr. Keith Moon. Both were fantastic drummers that knew how to put on some awesome shows. Of course another that is due enormous respect in my book is Mitch Mitchell. He may not have been the best but I think he did a hell of a job keeping up with the best !

Clive Bunker - Tull '68 to '72
Barriemore Barlow - Tull '72-79 So many great drummers. Keith Moon, John Bonham.......list goes on. And I agree with Neil Peart.

Tommy Lee, I saw motley fuckin crue back during the tour when he had the drum set that spun upside down while he did his drum solo and it was amazing.
Tho not much of a Rush fan all my friends into music and my one friend who is a drummer all say that Neil Pert guy is the best, so he's gotta be pretty good for so many people to pick him first.

The first name that popped into my head was Buddy Rich. He was a great drummer, but his personality left a LOT to be desired. I saw him back in my "high" school band days. He put on a show at a competition we were in. He would use "codes" with his sticks and brushes to tell the rest of his band what song was next. He got a little clusmsy and dropped his sticks several times. Kids being kids we laughed. He cussed us out, then we booed him back. Great drummer, nice big band sound, sorry personality.
 I guess Gene Krupa would be next on my list. Brad

pic of Mr. Peart
Heres a current photo of Neil with his Drum Workshop kit which while large is nothing compared to his kits from the 70's and 80's.
