Wait. What? You know Grohl was the drummer for QOTSA before him, right?

Yeah i know. But Castillo has been touring with them forever. I was just curious if he knew Castillo. Grohl has way too many side projects for my liking. Grohl is linked to a million people that he is not necessarily a member of. Hell wiki doesn;t even list him as a former member. I had no idea Grohl played with Prodigy and Juliette Lewis for example.

Oh, was this thread always in "Rock and Metal"? I swear it was in General Music earlier. Now I feel like a dick for my jazz drummer comment.

I'll repeat my picks from the other thread on this topic—most of my top
picks were in the OP's original list (Neil Peart, John Bonham, Bill Bruford
and Terry Bozzio).

One other name I would add is Tommy Aldridge (Black Oak Arkansas,
Pat Travers Band, Whitesnake, Ozzy, Gary Moore, etc.)--I don't believe
he was mentioned before.

A few more rock drummers who might not have been mentioned yet:

Ringo! - Very underrated - Mr. Fill. It's not always about flash.
Charlie Watts - The Backbone of the Stones stalwart boogie woogie. Keith watches Charlie when they play live to keep time.
Steve Shelley - Again, underrated - keeps even the craziest flights of SY fancy firmly grounded. Not an easy thing to do.
Steve Jansen - has done some incredible work with both Japan and his brother David.
William Rieflin - Great power drummer. Ministry, Revco, Crimson. Mr. Go-to Industrial.
Martin Atkins - For Flowers of Romance alone, not to mention Pigface!
Dave Barbarosa - Bow Wow Wow's Burundi drummer. Where are they now?
Joey Baron - Naked City, Masada, Tzadik house drummer. This guy's level of diversity is off the scale.
Terry Chambers - Terry's contributions to XTC cannot be overestimated. Just listen to something like 'Travels in Nihilon' - incredible combination of power and finesse.
FM Einheit - Pure fearless power. Anything can be a drum kit. Neubauten! Kollapse! Respect must be paid!
Jim Sclavunos/Thomas Wylder - Lumping them together because of all the amazing work they have done in the Bad Seeds and now Grinderman, but they each deserve individual praise.
George Hurley - One of the best and most diverse punk drummers in my opinion. Crucial to the Minutemen's sound.

Just to name a few....

Yes! I love Joey Baron's work, John Zorn has some mighty fine house musicians. But Joey Baron and John French (Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band) are my two favourite drummers.
