  • my dick is a better drummer than that fucking twat lars ulrich

  • What kind of drugs are you on? If you think Keith Moon is the greatest drummer you must have some serious mental issues. and Ringo Starr should be as far away from this list as possible.

  • i can't imagine any top drummers' list w/o John Bonham ..

  • Where in the hell is Joey Jordison?

  • how the hell is ringo starr on this list? he probably doesnt even know what a fill is!

  • I only see two or three drummers on here that I would really call great. Not to say that they aren't all perfectly fine drummers, but they certainly aren't innovators, like Keith Moon, Ringo Starr or even Neil Peart.

  • u aren't a drummer, are you? If you say that Lars is a drummer, and is better than Nicko than i shall say "Fuck You"

  • No John Bonham? Are you fucking kidding me!?

  • thumbs up if u think ringo starr looks like FRED a little, just go on images, and u can c what i mean

  • No Al Jackson Jr.?

  • moby dick.....the one and only listen to some zep. dude

  • Ringo star really

  • @cgiguere42 Are u joking best drummer ever to live

  • @cgiguere42 Ringo is great, i used to think that bt i star listen and he is realy great, inovator :)

  • in "Run to the hills" the drummer is Clive Burr -.-"

  • @orlfuries Real fans know their shit. Up the Irons !!! \m/

  • Did you forget about drummers such as Tito Puente, Ray Barreto, Gene Krupa, Topper Headon, Sheila E., Karen Carpenter, and Def Leppard's awe - inspiring, one - armed drummer, The "Thunder God" himself Rick Allen, just to name a few?

  • Buddy Rich?

  • This is really, really, really bad. Are you a drummer or a musician? If so you should be ashamed of yourself. The top 10 great drummers of all time and not a mention of John Bonham? I could go on and on. Lars Ulrich in the top 10? Not even in the top 20.

  • John Bonham......?

  • What? Carl Palmer (ELP, Asia), Bill Bruford (Yes, King Crimson), or John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) didn't even make your list? I love the Beatles, but Ringo doesn't belong in the top 10. By the way....it's spelled, "course" and it's "Portnoy" People may take you more seriously if you knew how to spell.

  • @doug16823 no need to be nasty on the spelling....Einstein couldn't write properly until he was twelve-but you would listen to him.

  • Favorite drummers (across all musical genres) - not in any particular order: Keith Moon, Billy Cobham, Bill Bruford, Bob Steeler, Terry Bozzio, Pete Erskine, Dennis Chambers, Jack DeJohnette, Ginger Baker, Omar Hakim

  • it was more of a popularity contest than talent, and like someone already pointed out no top list is complete without a nod to John Bonham

  • No Bonzo? Seriously?

  • mike portnoy lars ulrich didnt need to be in there cause they are shit!

  • only 4 ppl on this list deserve to be called greatest of all time, any musician knows who those 4 are.

  • buddy rich, carl palmer, bonzo, moon, ian pace,steve gad,ringo.I dont like all these best drummer list,mostly posted by a bunch of young drummers who only like drummers who show nothing but chops and dont say much when they solo, bozio, lambardo, away from voivod,bill ward.I may be weird but neil peart is to clinical and perfect for my tast,great drummer ,one of the best.

  • Ummmm, Danny Carey didnt even make the list?!?!? Thumbs Down!

  • john tempesta? dave lombardo? joey jordison?!! -.-

  • dude you're unbelievable it's PortnOy!!!!

  • You don't know nothing about Rock'n roll and his GREATEST DRUMMERS.

  • no John Bonham no bill ward :((((

  • I'd say the #1 spot is between Buddy Rich or Keith Moon. Moon gets the nod from me because he played with such maniacal abandonment yet still in control. He re-difined the way drums are played today.  He was a hurricane on a drum.

  • The guy who has the photo at 1.19, is Steve Judd from Karnivool you fucking fool.. Top list champ. No Bonham, Gavin Harrison or Danny Carey? You're fucking dreaming mate...

  • No Peter Criss, or Mitch Mitchell? If your talking best drummers they have to be in the top 10...Keith Moon your number one really? Pearts drum solos kill, I put Jordison #3, Lars #2, and of course THE Best drummer of all time Neil Peart #1

  • Baker still has to be among the best there ever was. Nobody listens to them, so how can they know. Ginger Baker Was the Best drummer Ever Out there. He didn't have the equiptpment at that time. Cream was the besy there ever was, or will be.

  • a)Clive Burr drummed Run To The Hills, not Nicko McBrain.

    b)If you're gonna use Nicko, use the intro to Where Eagles Dare.

    c)Nicko for #1.

  • why is peart really number 1? every fricking list on youtube about drummers always puts peart in the top 3. the number 1 spot is all over the place - but 80% of the lists that don't have peart as number 1 put him number 2. LOL. I've seen moon as 7th, and 6th, and not even on some lists.

  • No Virgil Donati, Terry Bozzio, or Steve Smith?

  • Dave Grohl plays the drums on Everlong, not Taylor Hawkins.

  • Where is John Bonham??? Cazzooo!!!

  • :DDDDDDDDDDDDD Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy when I saw Keith as #1 :') Moonie will always be number one.

  • in an interview, John Lennon was asked "Ringo: he's not the best drummer in the world is he?"  John replied "he's not even the best drummer in the band". I still love him!

  • I'd put Phil Collins up there AND Phil Rudd of AC/DC.

  • @simonthmy Phil Rudd? Are you high? He can't write a different beat for his damn life!

  • Aaand, Keith Moon coming in at first! wewt wewt!

  • Ringo Starr dafuq? 

  • THE WHO....REALLY?!? Y CANT IT BE THE REV???

  • I don't accept them all, except No.1.

  • Any top 10 list without John fucking Bonham does not count.

  • Lars and Ringo suck ass. Your top 10 list is total garbage.

  • 100%

    

  • carl palmer?

  • dude what about Danny Carrey from TOOL or Joey Jordison from Slipknot !! And you forgot all about John Bonham from led zepplin !! John and Danny and Joey are a thousand times better than half the drummers you listed !! Really ringo star ??? your a tard learn you drummers and your music !!!!

  • Where the fuck is jimmy sulivan

  • lars ulrich is not one of the best.

  • @TheInsideMan96 Are you fucking high?

  • @FIOREHUGHES All he does is keep time pretty much, it's boring as fuck to listen to.

  • @TheInsideMan96 Are you fucking dumb kid? he was one of the greatest drummers of all time

  • JOHN FUCKING BONHAM!!!!!!

  • Portney?! Seriously?! I am pretty darn sure it is Mike Portnoy !!

  • Are you Fuckin serious John Bonzo Bonham didnt even make you list,you suck,Hes the best drummer

  • Mitch Mitchell

    

  • fuckin i hate MOON...i love peart and mike portnoy..

  • Comment removed

  • My 7 year old drummer son likes your No. 1 choice...I agree with your chice of Keith. Ringo no... would have found room for Jon Bonham from Led Zepp.

  • ringo star?

    

  • Well, I don't agree. However, I do agree that the musicians that you chose in your Top 10 are all very good. Keith Moon at the top. That's where you fucked up!

  • Ringo Starr?! WHAT?! HE CANT PLAY FOR CRAP!

  • @Aidos8158 true but he was a drummer for over 200 songs thats why some people consider him a great drummer

  • @Aidos8158 Ringo is good considering he was forced to play a backwards kit

  • @mikee2150 no Ringo was rubbish, I'm sorry. 

  • @mikee2150 I know my drummers, I've played and studied for years

  • Dave Grohl, Steve Gadd, Wecle,BUDDY RICH ????? Iv'e seen him do circles around most of the drummers you put up here. Buddy Rich is the king. Also where was John Bonham ? You pick groups like incubas, and 2 other of todays rock bands. They are great drummers, but no where near the best. Then you picked Lars. Brhahahhahaaaaaaaaaa....So wheres Travis Barker..Brahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa.

  • Lars??? /spit He's a horrible drummer and person. But this is your opinion.

  • @blaklodge agreed. I wouldn't say "suck", but probably my least favorite track from Number Of The Beast. I personally prefer Clive to Nicko, though Nicko's first effort in Peace Of Mind was tremendous.

  • JOUN BONHAM AND JOHN DOLMANYON

  • I would have Happy Jack for Keith even he couldn't duplicate the studio 0riginal!

  • more of a high profile drummers list.all well good,but it's all what styles you like etc.i'd hazard a guess the compiler of this list isn't actually a drummer.my top ten ish,would be kinda-likely change if i did a different one next week.john bonham-carl palmer-phil collins,john hiseman-neil peart-ian paice-thomas lang-alan white-josh freese,and defo my number 1,brann dailor of mastodon.he's got jazz licks thrown in all over the place at speed,not robotic and not drum schooled.a force of nature.

  • Metallica is one of my favourite band but I have to say Lars should NOT be on this list. Lars sucks ass at drums.

  • If you're going to put Nicko McBrain on this list, at least put a song he did. Clive Burr was Iron Maiden's drummer for Run To The Hills. Nicko took over for Clive after Number Of The Beast; his first album with them was Peace Of Mind.

  • @blangfrd not to mention RTTH is a suck song to begin with

  • You absolutely failed !!!

  • Lars?!?!?

  • YOUR ON CRACK DUDE...JOHN BONHAM RULES ALL

  • Are you kidding me pal, these turds cannot even read music and do not even grip the sticks in the correct way, for tympanny that grip is ok but for anything else it is a no-no, the match grip my friend is the one, used by such luminaries as Chick Webb, Gene Krupa, Sonny Page, Louis Belson, Davie Tough, Buddy Rich, and on to Max Roach ad infinitum, don't post on subjects you obviously know nothing about 'cos there are always party poopers like me about.

  • I refuse to watch this video because John Bonham isn't number one, and not even in this. You call yourself a fan of music?

  • @PongThePong 100% agree

  • Steve Gadd? Simon Phillips? Vinnie Coluita? Terry Bozzio? Most of these drummers, with a few exceptions (Neil, Mike and Ringo), are just basic rock drummers, and the clip you posted of Nicko is not exactly representatiuve of his talent.

  • @dharmaseed Your assessment is essentially valid but I would expand it. What kind of drummers are we dealing with? Is the cartload of excellent jazz drummers over the last 80 years to be ignored?

  • @somewhere6 Who, for example besides Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa and Dave Weckl? I could do with some more drummers to check out.

  • and Bill Ward? if u love rock as much as i do, it's really difficult to narrow things like this down to a mere few. but i do appreciate your effort to do so, lol

  • where is John Bonham?

  • what about joey jordision omg

  • what kind of drummers? rock drummers, jazz drummers, pop drummers? you should specify

  • neil peart will never be number 2. keith moon will never be as good as neil peart so fuck u man

  • don't forget Terry Bozzio

  • Hahahaha Taylor Hawkins didn't even play on Everlong XD

  • looooooooooolooooooooooooooooo­looooooooooooooolooooooooooooo­oooooolooooooooooooooooooooooo­oloooooooooooooolollolloll oh my god lolololololololololol loloololollololollol

  • Buddy Rich is the best drummer of all time. Anyone who says other wise is an idiot. If you dont know who he is, look him up, try to copy what he plays, and tell me im wrong.

  • no grohl or dailor?.......

    

  • @jarlathone it says of all time. Grohl is good but no way in hell near being one of the best

  • top 10 wrong top list of all time

  • Keith Moon was really great!!!

    

  • ringo star not even the best drummer in the beatles

  • @ballybobo I don't know if you'll comprehend this but ringo starr may not be the best drummer but rock was just emerging its not all about skill its about influence just as neil peart he said and i'll quote if you told somebody to play the part on a day in the life they wouldn't know what to do, anyway he is influential and changed drumming forever.

  • @socsocben No Bonham? But Ringo, yes? mouhahahahahaha. Do yourself a favor, delete this noob list asap, close your youtube account, uninstall Window, sell your comp, and then never come back.

  • do you know john bonham!!!!!!!!!you know this guy from led zeppelin! but that's your choice

  • Lars? WTF

  • For number 5. I would "vetäisin vitun perseeseen".

  • Comment removed

  • Yo-everyone put the keyboard down and take a breathe. The man said these were his favorites. That is what music is all about, how it touches you. Anyone who gives that much of a shit and has that wild of a hair up there ass to comment negatively... just post your list below or at least your top 5 choices.

  • What the fuck are u people talking about the main question is where is buddy rich, the greatest drummer who ever lived and who basically was an inspiration to all of these drummers.

  • no dave grohl in the list? I agree with moon.

  • @javifaden Actually, Dave Grohl did the drumming on the studio version of Everlong, not Tayler Hawkins.

  • gets the job *done* sorry grammar police

  • Funny I loved that you put Ringo Starr in - five piece kit and still gets the job time but Van Halen...never saw that one coming.

  • Dude U R soooo wrong!!! What Roger Taylor of Queen? I think U left out a GREAT DRUMMER of all Time!!!

  • @iniquitouss - Queen are King. Roger Taylor along with Roger Deacon's bass playing was like crazy glue. (Another nod for Bonham/Jones actually, Zeppelin's music would sound much diminished without these two.)

    You don't really have a rhythm section without good bass!

  • Ringo only had a 5 piece kit!

    I think that he still does.

  • I feel like this is more of a "bands I like best" like more than a top 10 greatest drummers list. But hey! to each his own.

  • Wheres Nick Menza?

    

  • Lars.... no seriously, you are taking the piss arent you ?

  • Dude........... Put your guitar down and step away from the 8-track player. No one is better then Portnoy. It's simple fact. And where is Herb??? No top ten drummer list is complete without Tim Herb Alexander.

  • lars ulrich?????? what the fuck???????

  • Just the guy's opinion you geeks. Sure he could have really liked John Bonham, or Robb Reiner or Bill Ward and Mitch Mitchell for that matter. He posted HIS favorites.

    I think a lot of favorites are associated to the music we like. Even then I find Peart and McBrain not all that exciting, for all their technical skill, but I will go see them play live because the bands are great!

    Jsmes Brown's drummers were killer insane.

  • Carmine Appice, Ian Paice, and Carl Palmer

  • AND JOHN BOHNAM???????

  • WHERE IS BUDDY RICH???????

  • Keith Moon, gave the music of the Who such power, No 1 in my book.

  • ringo starr and keith moon are just overrated!

  • Ringo Starr wtf???? and Keith Moon was a piece of shit drummer by the way, where are the jazz drummers like buddy rich, or that guy that is called the doctor of drums.....mmmm.... let me see if I can remember....... oh yeah FUCKIN STEVE SMITH, Bonzo, Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, Horacio Hernandez, Steve Gadd, Antonio Sanchez, Slipknot's drummer who is a mother fucker in drums, and.... Oh what the hell Im not in the mood to give you a class right now, bye kid.

  • @MrPerezCosta ringo Starr is so underated.. He's awesome. And you can't argue about Kieth Moon, He is a god. You don't have to play quick to be a good drummer.

  • @TheOasisNerd yeah, very wrong, it's not about playing fast, it's about how you can do it without doing that much,I mentioned the guy from Slipknot (Joey Jordison) because hes a master in that even with the pedals, like Neil Peart just to mentioned another good drummer. No wonder he is not underrated. Ringo Starr is underrated beacuse he wasnt that good man, that's it, and Keith Moon it's even out of the question, there are videos of him here that he's completely out of time man.

  • As all of the other commenters pointed out, you're a fucking idiot. You know people played the drums before alternative music was invented. Ringo fucking star?? How about Max Roach, Buddy Rich, John Bonham, etc... The people you have on this list are shit pop rock musicians. Take a trip to juliard, for every rock drummer you can name there are a dozen juliard freshman that can eat them for breakfast.

  • This is a list of fashion with just due respect for Peart and Moon receiving top billing. For sheer talent I would put Peart ahead of Moon with a faint asterisk noting Moon's early demise. Without question the lower tier needs amending unless of course we are listing personal favorites.

  • Mitch Mitchell/John Bonham/Ian Paice?

  • I like how at the ending he says please subscribe to see more videos like this yet he only has 4. Haha.

  • Just for your information. Dave Grohl played the drums on Everlong. Dave redid the entire album because he hated the sound quality, then Taylor joined the band.

  • Based on your list, anyone who abuses double bass and/or can do rolls is one of the top 10 drummers of all time. That means my brother is in that list, which he isn't. With the exception of Neil Peart, this list is crap. You should have put drummers like Steve Gad, Buddy Rich, and Terry Bozzio on this list.

  • where's gene krupa, what a suck list

  • nobody's going to agree completely with any top ten list this is this guys opinion. and i for one think its a damn good top ten. i go 100% with Kieth being no 1 and many top drummers say they were influenced by him so i guess they agree. Tommy lee not here? good. good guy overrated drummer. no John Bonham? that"s the biggest omission on the list. damn good list though.

  • @redraven3211 Kieth Moon had shit timing and uncomplicated fills. All flash, no substance.

  • Tony Royster Jr, Steve Gadd, Buddy Rich, Dennis Chambers, Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta, Gene Krupa, Ginger Baker, Baby Dodds, Cozy Cole, Jojo Mayer, John Bonham... not even ONE?

  • keith moon is def worthy of number one fuk neil peart his stuff is all same sound fast congo tongo drum stuffcrap1!

  • you forgot tommey lee! and 2 and 1 should be flipped

  • how can you put ringo star as one of the best drummers and not put john bonham or tommy lee

  • Title mis-leading. Should say "My Favorite Drummers of All Time(fact)". No Bonham!! you gotta be kiddin'. He should be on any list.

  • May we all be influenced BY all of THEM!

  • i say switch peart with moon and theres a great list

  • Lars better than Nicko?

    Not a fucking chance in hell!

    Take one of lars bass drums out, and see if he can do what Nicko does.

    Nicko started out pumping out bass like a rabbit of crack! There usedto be an arguement if he used a double bass.

    We all found out that he wasn't using a double.

    That's Nicko.

    Lars? LOL

    Please now, You're killing me.

  • Seriously, foo fighters? lmao He IS a good drummer, but one of the best? uh, no....

  • where's ron bushy( iron butterfly)

  • you all should really chill. music is subjective, not objective, and it's really sad to see how many people don't get that. more goes into how good a drummer is than being able to play complex difficult stuff. dom and jose are prob my favorite drummers of all time because i think that they are really skilled in playing just the right part to add to the music without over or under doing it. and that's my OPINION.

  • Keith Moon also had a dynamic stage presence that put a exclamation mark to his spectacular drumming skills..a drum LEGEND!

  • Keith Moon, Neil Peart is right on!!

  • Why not John Bonham?!!!!

  • All good solid stick men and a fine list,missed a few big guns though,the biggest being Buddy Rich. You cannot possibly have a list of the greatest drummers and not have him as number one. He is so far and away the best ever.

  • i love ringo starr ^.^

  • You forgot Phil Collins. >:(

  • Every good jazzdrummer is better than them.michael

  • Wheres the great man that is Topper Headon (The Clash)???

  • you forgot The Rev from Avenged Sevenfold. he was one of the greatest drummers of our time

  • Lars Ulrich.....????  lol

    Forgot Carl Palmer...Bill Bruford...Barrymore Barlow...Buddy Rich...

    Even Big John Bonham....

    First of all...in my opinion... Neil Peart

  • Where's Carl Palmer? Buddy Rich, Virgil Donati...Ian Paice...Bill Bruford??

  • you forgot trey cool from green day

  • if you think john bonham is overrated you know nothing about music or druming he never used a double kick on his bass drum and gets the same sound with one petal he is the godfather of druming know your shit before you comment

  • Minus Rings, Lars, and Jose Pasillas theyre all great drummers
