And the best drummer in the world right now, and arguably of all time is... (drum, jazz)

I like Strapping Young Lad. I didn't know he played with them.

Just read that he's also going to be doing drums for the Dethklok album DethAlbum.

As it goes, the drumming aspect of Opeth never struck me as being particularly remarkable. I'm surprised anybody would shortlist Martin.

There are Jazz drummers out there who blow the arse off most drummers if it was purely technique, but sometimes technique alone can be clinical and cold.

Here are some of my faves and in no order:

John Bonham-his sound is generally recognised as THE definitive rock drum sound-check out DAZED AND CONFUSED for some awesome drum rolls.

BILL WARD-technique? not too much, but his application was spot on, his drumming is so integeral to SABBATH'S sound. Simplicity is sometimes a beauty to behold.

DAVE LOMBARDO-again, never over-elaborate. pure clean aggression and one of the Thrash originals.

NEIL PEART-technique par excellence. He uses EVERY aspect of his kit as well as anyone out there.

SASHA POP0VIC-who? MOTHER TONGUE debut album 1994-check out the track BABY BURN (the rest of the album is **** hot too) but this is an incredible piece of drumming.

Sorry I'm not a drummer so cant describe peoples techniques too well!

The drummer from the French band GOJIRA is ****ing excellent too!

Brann Dailor is a beast, but Danny Carey is still better.

The best drummer ever is simply Vinnie Colaiuta. After seeing him with Herbie Han**** live, he changed how I think of drummers. That guy is simply the most amazing person to ever touch drums. The feel, the fills, the skill, the improvisation... everything, it's all there.

I'm quite a fan of Martin Lopez as well. He has a very nice style and some monster fills.

Probably one of the most overrated drummers ever. If he was so good then why do all the drum parts in his band blow ass?

I dunno if I posted here already but zach hill > any living drummer besides Neil.

Has anyone given any love to Terry Bozzio? The guy may be an ass-hole but his playing more than makes up for it.

Chris Adler is a beast. And he has a very original style IMO.
