Who's Your Favorite Drummer? Why?

What makes a drummer great? Timing? Fills? Solos? Or just being lucky enough to be in a band that makes it big and getting noticed? I personally admire the drummer who knows his place and when to enhance a song and when to back off! I have played in enough bands as a drummer myself to know that too much self indulgence or being overly aggressive equals alot of noise and not a cohesive group performance. And not enough punch or lack of aggressiveness equals a boring result.

So who are the best drummers? Who are your favorite drummers? Why?

Take a moment to complete the poll on the right side of this blog. Then make sure you add your comments here! We would love to hear your 2-cents.

  1. Gene Krupa was a great drummer from the 40's! The big band era master drummer!

  2. What about Charlie Watts. Another quiet guy like Ringo that was technically great. Not alot of flash, but one of the best.
