exactly. which is why its even harder to judge. technically speaking, Satch is better than Hendrix by MILES. however, Hendrix created and explored TONS of techniques and styles of phrasing that ended up influencing satch.
in the same way, Hendrix had an advantage over older guitarists who influenced him.
and Buddy Guy had an advantage over even OLDER guitarists
and so forth.
everyone is just building up over what's already been done, and thus it becomes harder to say who is actually better and becomes a competetition in personal preference of style.
Steve Vai is an AMAZING guitarist in terms of technical abilities and even creativity. i still dont like him as a guitarist at all.
and tying that back to drumming,
it really depends a LOT on style preference. I prefer Mitch Mitchel to Neil Peart, even tho typical lines of thought say that Neil Peart is the greatest drummer of all time. who's the best depends entirely on who does what YOU like best.
but yea. i think Mitch Mitchel should be up there
