Shannon Leto is my Favorite Rock Drummer, Shannon Palys with passion and takes passion,but also Love, fun and every particle of his body. Love to watch him when he play, he is perfect drummer ever for me.
 
My favorite drummer is Rodney, This played in the band Steve Kimock. I love his music so much. It plays a role in Europe and the East Coast these days with a wide range of people.

Buddy Rich was The Man. I saw him live twice, and played in front of his daughter once (kinda intimidating!). Mike Portnoy, Dennis Chambers and Dave Weckl are all from other planets. If anyone followed Dream Theater's search for Portnoy's replacement, it was like watching American Idol for drummers. I'll find the link, but they could've picked any of them. The winner though was Mike Mangini, who holds the record for fastest single-stroke rolls (1203bpm?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe8XKgOuNtk

Loved him when he actually played *music*...but then he got so over-the-top technical only *he* could understand him. I saw him at Guitar Center. No question dude's got sick talent...and he certainly dispels the whole "dumb drummer" thing...but I wound up throwing his cd away.
Terry bozzio 10 years ago was about when he got so technical it took the pleasure out of listening to him,back in the days of the Missing Persons band he was ruthless,the entire band was top musicans & all had the pedigree of being ex zappa band members,too bad missing persons music sucked but he was a bad mofo.

Anybody know if he is still with Korn ?

John Bonham has to be my favorite drummer of all time and that statement is probably a little biased simply because Physical Graffiti was the only second cd I ever got and fell in love with Led Zeppelin on that day. There is nothing like tossing on the ole double disc Led Zeppelin dvd and getting lost in their performance, all four of them are fun to watch.

PG was awesome for sure. It's almost sacrilege to knock Bonham. Dude was good, and certainly an innovator. And he totally worked for Zep. But he didn't have 1/2 the skills of the other drummers mentioned. Surprised I didn't see Niel Peart mentioned...or Billy Cobham, Chad Smith, Ian Pace....

I don't know if he has been said yet or not, but Brennan Huff is definitely in my top 5. Take a listen to this little solo....

Are there any other drummers here? Curious as to what strain you prefer when playing. (I'll assume sativa) Current favorite is a friend's grow (from wheezerweedseeds) of AO x SSH. I wind up playing things I never even imagined previously.
