Who is the best drummer ever?

[discokermit]

ringo was not only the best drummer in the beatles, he was also the best songwriter, singer and probably person as well.

Steve Gadd's one of the very, very best.

This roll is incredible:

Got to be Jaki ...

Halleluwah, 1971 music video ...



Paperhouse - Live (takes a minute or two to get their groove on)



Mushroom - Video



Irmin is wearing some very suspicious Teutonic leisurewear.



Some very late stuff, with Rosko Gee on bass and Holger on ... things.



... plus I found this ... an actual Jaki drum solo (apparently the house power went out and he had to keep the audience amused while they fixed it)

Keith Moon - plenty of drummers had more technique, but his wild, expressive, poetry on the drums was what made the who such a great band. A true original.
