2. Hey Hugh! I have to agree with you, The Professor still rocks the house!

I've watched this solo several times since it was first posted here. I think Buddy would be proud.

[Burma Jones]

4. And there's no Drool

[leftofthedial]

5. I once did a project with "Chip Roland"

as the "drummer"

[leftofthedial]

6. Ringo, Charlie Watts and Jim Keltner are all still alive I believe

Everyone else can just sit still, shut up and wait their turns

[mcscajun]

8. So is Ginger Baker.

:)

12. polo playing dilletante

dead to rock . . .


;-)

[mcscajun]

15. Hey, he's retired. But he still rocked out at Madison Square Garden

when Cream reformed for a brief tour in 2005. :)

:bounce: I was lucky enough to be there. :bounce:

[leftofthedial]

17. he's really quite a monster drummer

in his own unique style

Every time I hear Cream I think no way three men made that sound.

I was always a huge Blind Faith fan too.

[Alexander]

7. Neil Peart

And for the last frigging time, his name is pronounced "Peert", not "Purt".

[av8rdave]

11. I'll second that...and he's fantastic live

[Syrinx]

14. absolutely, Peart.

But I thought his name was pronounced like "pear" with a "t" at the end. No matter. I can't wait to hear Rush's new album, due May 1, called "Snakes and Arrows." The buzz says the sound is a throwback to albums like "A Farewell To Kings." I hope that's true. I love the records from that period.

[av8rdave]

22. I thought Farewell to Kings, 2012 and Show of Hands were some of their best work

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

9. Blue Man Group

All of 'em.

10. Robert Wyatt or Jaki Leibezeit

[LynneSin]

18. Jason Bonham

Well you said alive and the guy plays probably better than what his old man did

[mac56]

19. Ric Menck, one of the best drummers hardly anyone knows.

[RandomKoolzip]

20. My vote goes to Peter Moffet of Burning Airlines, ex- of Government Issue, etc.

Plus, as long as George Hurley (ex- of the Minutemen) is breathing, the title of "Best Drummer" alive will always be up for grabs.

[MAGICBULLET]

21. THE BEST IS Bernard "Pretty" Purdie

yes, better than all the rest, and the most recorded drummer ever.

[ruiner4u]

23. I can tell you who ISNT the best drummer alive..

[grace0418]

26. A lot of really amazing drummers must've died in the last 24 hours and I didn't

hear about it. :evilgrin:

[Phillycat]

27. Stewart Copeland, of course.

Who I will be seeing live in July. :D

[mcscajun]
