Its something that goes against religeon. Its given poetic licence alot, like here. So imagine drumming as a religeon, and saying something like Dave is the best would be herasey.

Colm O'Ciosoig

It's almost impossible to pin point an actual best ever so I'm going with my favorite.

Off of the list, the Moon. But in general, jazz drummers are way better than rock drummers. Buddy Rich or Dave Weckl is probably the best of all time, but Elvin Jones might be my favorite.

I've always loved this video. His left handed roll is just out of this world.

Moon and Bonham without doubt 1 and 2 in whatever order, but what about other british and Irish drummers.

Reni - Stone Roses
Brian Downey - Thin Lizzy
