For my money, Dino Danelli is still among the most expressive and stylish drummers in rock. Listen to any song by The Rascals and you'll hear what a great percussionist sounds like.

When I was a kid, I used to try to figure out who was "better" than who. As an adult now, I know that conversations about who is the "best" or better than whoever, is really futile. It's like trying to argue who is/was the best poet, or painter, etc. It's all very subjective. Enjoy what each of these great players has to offer as individuals and you'll get a lot more out of it. Also, solos are cool, but should be kept in the proper context..they're just one small part of what matters.

Hey dude, we´re talking ´bout drummers!

Simon is one of the greatest.. And he was the best replacement for Jeff Porcaro. But there are so many fantastic drummers around!J.B. of course, Ian Paice, the so called Buddy Rich in r´n´r, Neil Peart, Keith Moon, only to name a few. They all have their own style! And they´re so fantastic !!

Simon is great. As long as there are people there are gonna be those who say this guy is the best or that guy is the best. Bruford can play what ever he thinks of, so can Peart, so can Abts, so can Bozzio, so could Buddy and Bonham, so can Phillips and so can all the rest. If the drummer sounds like he "should" be playin' the music that he is playin' then he's the best drummer in the world. When they ask me who's the best I tell 'em that "I" am. (I'm not but then there aint no such thing).

simon, is in the freak class. i could watch him all day! bonham was a great drummer too! who's drum lines to the band's songs are amazing! sure, ringo is tech boring, but what he did on those songs are great and i can't imagine anyone else giving those beatle songs any better or greater feel.

This is some stylish shit! But PEOPLE who have been arguing about "best" drummers, you gotta realize that someone can sit down at a kit, do some basic stuff and make it sound amazing. some can go and play 3000 notes a second, with their hands tied behind their backs, somehow incorporating 10 polyrhythms in each limb(you get the message) and sound shit. Its all about style ain't it. love to all
