Damon Che! Best live drummer alive and still playing today. If you close your eyes it sounds like an octopus is playing, open em and you'd swear he hand more limbs than he actually has.

Yeah, seen this already but damn, that is some impressive drumming. Put so much into it he puts other drummers to shame.

I know a few amateur drummers (they just kind of mess around) and needless to say, the name Damon Che has crossed their lips a few times. Darn impressive!

Keith Moon of The Who. He reinvented rock drumming.

Not to mention originating the rock ethos of the car in the swimming pool and TV out of the hotel window.

Dead, of course.

John Henry Bonham .... RIP.

This guy is a clown ... pretty basic drumming but great showmanship nevertheless.

Neil Peart of Rush no question.

I've seen quite a few concerts in my day, and I literally love the drum solos, as far as multiple drummers IMO no group beat the Grateful Dead, but for a single drummers performance no one has yet today touched John Bonham in a live performance, if you track down the movie, "The Song Remains the Same", you get to see John Bonham unleashed.

I truly respect the members of Led Zeppelin for respecting John enough not to even attempt to replace him and go on, because without him there was no Led Zeppelin, a truly remarkable group that even today their music still relates, and each individual member of the group made Led Zeppelin what it was.

It was truly a privilege and honor to of seen Led Zeppelin perform live before John died, a concert I will never forget, but thankfully get to relive every time I watch, "The Song Remains the Same".

I also neglected to mention Stewart Copeland ... probably a technically superior drummer than Bonham ... but perhaps not as imaginative.

In my mind anyway.

A hard call to make when our family are all musos and my drummer son will undoutably go on about some double kicker idiot who can't hold rythym past 3 minutes anyway.

I saw Led Zepplin in the early 70's. Begged my mother to take me to see The Beach Boy's in 1965. I was in 5th grade. She finally sent away for tickets. The money order was returned with 'Sold Out' scribbled on a note. Some of my friends saw Hendrix, Black Sabbath and The Moody Blues. I was invited to BS and MB, but chose to stay in the attic and paint. Through all this I learned...

my favourite story was when keith moon tripled the amount of TNT he was supposed to put in his bass drum, and nearly left the whole band deaf.

So thats why Hendrix pulled out the lighter fluid on stage in Monterey and set his strat on fire. There was a competive destruction mode happening. Attending a rock concert was not only groovy and psychodelic...it was down right dangerous! Wild Thing. Come on and sock it to me one time.

Commercially... i like Lars Ulrich of Metallica a lot. Also Keith Moon was also good.

In the modern day... I like Rob Bourdon of Linkin Park and Matt Helders of the Arctic Monkeys.

But they dont make Rock like they used to.

Must say Damon Che is one of the best one of all time.
