Favourite Drummers

[Gritter]

Okay we had bassists and guitarists but how about drummers?

I purposely titled this thread "favourite" instead of "best" as I'm sure we all have different tastes.

Here's my top 10 11:

Ringo Starr - Beatles


John Wright - nomeansno


Topper Headon - The Clash


Glenn Kotche - Wilco


Max Roach - Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, etc.


Levon Helm - The Band


Justin Peroff - Broken Social Scene


Stewart Copeland - The Police


Charlie Watts - Rolling Stones


Mike Diamond - Beastie Boys


David Lovering - Pixies

Ron Bushy deserves an honourable mention for the most well-known drum solo...

I love the tone of his drums.
