MOON THE LOON
Aside from the usual suspects, some of whom youve mentioned above, I always liked Clem Burke of Blondie

Moon without question. Charlie rates very high as well. Also you did not list Carl Palmer from ELP. While I was neve a huge fan of ELP Carl could flat out beat the shit otta the skins.

As far as guys who can fit in with any band and keep it going, Charlie is great, as is Stuart Copeland. But as far as talent goes and just sheer ability to drum, it's Moon, without a doubt. |

I like more the drumming of Bonzo than Moonie the Loonie
One drummer I saw live long time ago at the Savoy in NYC with Al di Meola was Simon Phillips, I've never heard about him but I was looking more at him rather than Al.
Chester Thompson was great
What about Sly Dunbar...
The duet Pat Mastelotto and Bill Bruford
But the best and by far is STU!!

Just more of the same- Charlie Watts, Moon (he could be inconsistant, especially in his later years, but when he was on may have the greatest drummer ever to see live) and definately Bonzo until his last year (saw him pass out on stage in 1980 - they had to cancel the show after only three songs) |

Mitch Mitchell, the drummer for Blondie (can't think of his name), Charlie can't miss a beat, time keeper he was, and, of course, loud and obnoxious Keith Moon. voodoo, I am jealous that you were in the same room with Carl Palmer. ELP are very talented but I never really got into them... they went far and beyond my head. They're one of my husband's favorites and he says they put on the BEST of concerts. |

Moon = even without the wild reputation, would be the best.
Dale Crover = 2nd best ever

Charlie keeps perfect time, but his heart is in jazz. Moon was pure rock and roll, with all the pluses and minuses. |

Ian Paice from Deep Purple should be on every fuckin' list above......
I love Charlie, but there are another names to add:
(not in any specific order)
Ginger Baker (Cream)
Ian Paice (Deep Purple)
Keith Moon (Who)
John Boham (Zep) (I just think he's good, but actually overrated)
Bill Ward (Black Sabbath)
Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix)
Neil Peart (Rush)
Of coure I missed someone....

Thanks for the responses. Seems like Moonie and Charlie (not surprisingly) are the two favs.
My 2 cents: as much as I love The Who and love Moonie, he was very sloppy and non-technical. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing, since too many drummers are like programmed drum machines. But as someone earlier pointed out, Moonie wouldn't have been able to fit in with any other band but The Who. Oh, and by the time of 'Who Are You' and the Shepperton gigs, Moon could no longer play the drums.
Charlie is the ultimate time-keeper and is great, but certainly very limited. Still, something must be said for keeping beat for the greatest rock band in the world for over 40 years.
Bonzo Bonham is "Mr. Triplet" and was both powerful and technical, but ultimately a little too fancy at times. Guys like Neil Peart are tremendous but a little too robotical, if that's a word. Stewart Copeland had tremendous syncopation and is a great one. Carter Beauford is unbelievably powerful and technical and rhythmical. Mitch Mitchell is very Moon-like. I never thought much of Ginger Baker, but I may be in the minority on that one.
And Ringo, believe it or not, is very underrated. Just listen to 'Abbey Road' (and not just the "drum solo," either).

I like Charlie, no one could be better to the Rolling Stones sound.
John Bonham use to be a real locomotive, love his style.
Other great drummer is Ralph Molina.

John Bonham hands down. He had a gift. Check him out playing a solo on the Led Zeppelin DVD. I understand Bonzo would come in and lay down his drumming tracks once Pagey and crew had the song in motion. I think he is the best ROCK drummer, in the true sense of the word rock, that ever lived.
So far.
I was lucky to have gotten to see him once....he road those "golden drums" like a warrior. It was unlike anything I've ever seen before or since. I was 18 and mesmerized. It's emblazoned in my memory. |
