  • Any love for Buddy Rich? I don't care who's the best. They all have their own styles. I don't know of any drummers besides Grohl who started a hugely popular band and played guitar instead of drums. So talented.

  • The Bests: Neil Peart, Gavin Harrison, Danny Carey (in Rock).

    Gene Hoglan,Thomas Haake, George Kollias, dave Lombardo, Paul Bostaph, Charlie benante

  • I think Dave knows he's not the greatest drummer ever. But I would have to say he has most definitely made a lasting mark on drumming and he easily has the best presence of any drummer I've seen.

  • Funny calling David Grohl the best drummer in the world, yet the first thing he plays is Moby Dick by John Bonham ... ironic?

  • sorry, but i have mention how fucking beautiful josh's custom signature royal blue mastersound is. holy shit.

  • Anyone who says that Dave is better than Bonham.... is a fucking idiot.

  • Not the best drummer...he's really only got that one fill going for him. But great musician and seems like a real nice guy.

  • The only difference with Bonham is that John is dead (R.I.P)

    Dave is a good drummer, MAYBE the best. If Dave were dead (luckily not) all of you would be saying that Dave was the best drummer

    (just my opinion)

    P.S.: Fuck Portnoy

  • Bon Ham?? It's pronounced bon-am

  • John Bohnam and neil peart 2 greatest drummer of all time IMO

  • He's actually not a good drummer, nor an epic guitar player, but Dave is such a great performer and an all-around good guy. He's a fucking viking-bear beast of pure fur awesomeness.

  • @Freezaen he is a great drummer just not the best

  • Dave is a good musician, one of my favorite thanks to alot of good work, but I dont really think he is the greatest drummer.

    I can think of a few guys who are better (in my opinion) like Buddy Rich or Jean-Paul Gaster.

  • Chad Smith \Ö/ 

  • yeah but john bohnam made his own style and inspired many drummers of today, so dont say david grohl can blow him away.

  • can you do mangini magic? stop foooooooooling around dude im not impress by your lousy tricks!

  • So im guessing kurt was either lying here or he was high when he said to krist that he thought dave was a shitty drummer, and dave overheard it and almost quit the band but butch & krist convinced him to stay. Im going on what I read from the rolling stone post from and interview with Butch.

  • Grohl is great. Watch his live performances with Nirvana. However, I don't understand how you can play the drums wearing gloves. If you hold your sticks right, you can play as hard and long as you like with bare hands (John Bonham)

  • @ericatdrummerdotorg Of course this is juts what I think by seeing him play for a long time... Probably he doesn´t hold'em sticks right, like a lot of drummers, but I think he started using gloves because he´s always pounding the drums... Idk, even holding the sticks right those powerful strokes might hurt anyone after some tracks...

  • Youtube search Mike Mangini Steve Vai tour 1999 drum solo. Watch this:

    Watch this Mike Mangini solo that has lots of broken threes in the time signature changes. No drummer I have ever seen (next to Terry Bozzio) can break things down that well with 4 limbs. No one touches those two guys, in my opinion. And, Dave Grohl might as well stick to guitar and singing now, cause he'll NEVER get close to this level.

  • @ALxtreme

    There is no point of comparing Mangini to Grohl. They're two totally different style of drummers.

  • @ALxtreme So because he can't get close to those guys dave grohl shouldn't play drums? That's like saying because of hendrix all the people who brand themselves as guitarists shouldn't try and play guitar, or because of freddy mercury no-one should attempt to be a frontman

  • Okay Matt Greiner is a fantastic METALCORE drummer..David Grohl Is a fantastic grunge and rock drummer.

  • MATT GREINER!

  • he was until he switched to DW, no hes 1/2 of what he could have been. j/k

  • dave grohl is ok

  • Youtube cracks me up when people post "The best" of this or that. People should realize that , for the most part, "the best" is an opinion of the posting person. Which, in this case, I find pretty funny. Dave Grohl........good drummer? Yeah, Great drummer? Maybe. The best in the world? Hardly. I can name 5 drummers off the top of my head who all have way more technical skill in 2 limbs than Dave has in four. Mike Mangini, Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart, Terry Bozzio, and Rod Morgenstein. Grohl? ha

  • @ALxtreme grohl is a decent rock drummer at best- rock is like k thru 4th grade in drum terms. the next group of drummers you listed are great progressive rock drummers, but this is like grades 5 thru 8th. top progressive rock are like thomas lang or dylan elise -grades 9 thru 12. their is a "best" category for drumming but you need to listen to jazz fusion - anything like dave weckl is so advanced beyond what most people listen to or can do - he's like the phd in drumming- 'crossing paths' vid

  • @davparksoh Oh yeah, I agree, I have met Dave Weckl and watched his show here in Dayton Ohio when he was here. He's a very skilled Fusion / Progressive Jazz drummer. I have a lot of respect for Jazz / Fusion drummers, but, to me the pinnacle of drumming techniques go even beyond how good those guys are. Weckl is a great drummer, But, guys like Bozzio, Mangini, and Donati can do what I call "pieces of sixteens".......break down the fours in there at all different tempos with 4 limbs. And go odds

  • @ALxtreme I'll take it a step further. Retarded rock fans have such a narrow understanding or appreciation of music all they can talk about is someone who is well known in rock.. Fact is the best drummers tend to be jazz players, they always were and always will be. But they aren't commercial for the most part. So fan boys expand your fucking horizons and listen to something besides this shit.

  • portnoy still better :)

  • he is a great drummer.. definitely. but he's not the greatest... and i bet he wouldn't even call himself that, even if you took all modesty away from him.... but the fact, that he's also a great guitar player and singer and just a cool person takes him very far up on the list of awesome musicians

  • this is a joke

  • He is a MTV boy!!, Mike Portnoy, Bon Ham, porcaro, Lombardo,Igor Cavalera,Simon Phillips, they are a great drummers and musicians!!! Grohl only are a famous MTV drummers

  • He's also funny.

  • Could someone tell me the sticking/ foots for those great fills at 1:00 ?

  • Grohl is from my hometown! I want to fucking meet that guy.

  • try to search flo mounier or hellhammer :3

  • What's a Bon Ham ?

  • He is a fucking BEAST!!!

  • Dave isn't a great drummer at all. A great musician? Hell yes. But his technical skill isn't matching anyone in the high leagues.

  • That bit with the D.. where they playing Life's a Bitch? xD

  • DYLAN ELISE

    

  • Great man! That's from Roskilde. I was there. I think Dave is one of the most rock and roll guys in the world. He's not the best drummer in the world but he is fucking cool.

    Yeah, I've got a little man crush on Dave. You da bomb!

  • There is not such thing as BEST DRUMMER IN THE WORLD. Get used to it.

    They all have a style. There is no BEST STYLE.

    Know what I mean?

    Of course some are better then others. For instance... I can't compare Neil PEART with Lars ULRICH... 2 good drummers, but LIVE u can defintely see the diference.

  • Dave is Nice, but the "Best Drummer" No way

  • i'm sorry but dave grohl certainly is not the best drummer in the world haha.

  • MIKE PORTNOY

  • Gene Hoglan...

    

  • WHAT?!! The greatest Drummer in the world??!

    Did you ever hear about Roger Taylor - the queen's clockwork?

    Or Vinnie Paul, the most tight drummer I know?

    Cindy Blackman, Travis Barker, Dirk Verbeuren, Nicko MyBrain, John Longstreth, Thomas Haake, Chris Adler, Reidar Horghagen, Tony Royster Jr., Dave Lombardo,..?

    And don't forget the machine Gene Hoglan!

    He's good, but never the best!!!

    Fool..!

  • not the greatest drummer... but definitely the greatest modern rock writer and performer.

  • A drummer whom will NEVER be over rated!!!!!!! And no sorry to the dude that made this clip.... The BEST song he has drummed to is No1 knows...... That's drum fill is AMAZING

  • He is great no doubt, but not the best

  • KEITH MOON

  • BLAKE RICHARDSON....BLAKE FUCKING RICHARDSON

  • he's not even (seriously not even) close to the greatest drummer in the world...especially if you count the dead (Buddy Rich)

  • how many drummers you know can shred on a guitar also????

  • Neil Pert is the master

  • Fucking spare me.  What a fucking joke.

  • whos this dumbass speaking its not john bonHAM

  • MIKE PORTNOY

  • @MrFritzinger yes

  • @MrFritzinger AMEN!!!

  • @MrFritzinger Fuck Portnoy...Danny Carey, now that man can play drums.

  • Dave Grohl, yes great musician... best drummer in the world... no! I would take Neil Peart over him anyday of the week

  • I just kick a trash, and 10 better drummer than him get out of it.

  • /watch?v=ruNHRxs0qRI

    is all that needs to be said about being the (technically) best drummer in the world, him being but one example among others.

  • John BonHAM?

  • What Dave Grohl is, is a great musician. He plays several instruments and can make good music. Greatest drummer, no.

  • @JDawgCommentary Last time I checked drums were instruments.

  • @JDawgCommentary I was about to say the same thing. He's a great all round musician. He's not that special on drums if some people have actually done their research.

  • @ddrumdude I've listened to thousands of drummers, but Grohl still sticks out to me. It might be because he was my original inspiration to play, but there's just something about the way he plays and the way he also approaches the song. I highly doubt Nirvana would have been the same band without him.

  • Many greater drummers. Matt Cameron, Jimmy C., Danny, Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Keith Moon, I could go on.

    But Dave does look cool when he drums, probably from all the caffeine he consumes.

  • Dave plays very uncomplicated yet rock solid grooves with some very nice fills thrown in.

    so no wonder lots of his tracks went on becoming Instant classic.... perfect for every song.

  • Great video! Dave is a living Legend.

  • Why do people have to try to declare the "greatest drummer" of all time. There are soooo many great drummers, all great at different things, i.e. innovation, chops, stamina, speed, coordination, etc. I would match Buddy Rich against any of the so named 'greatest drummers' for all of those attributes wrapped into one man. I'm sure, down the road, someone might equal Buddy's caliber in those fields, but it would be hard to surpass him. However the world's not over yet - not until 12-21-12 anyway..

  • Dave better than Bonzo?!?!?!?!??

  • 2:12 rocky balboa on drums

  • fuck, even chronos from venom praises this guy for their work on probot.

  • In his later years:

    "I'M THE DEVIL, I LOVE METAL!!!!!"

  • Coolest drummer in the world? Possibly

  • Comment removed

  • Best drummer in the world? Not even close.

  • HAHAHA What a joke, Dave Grohl is nothing against Dave Lombardo and Chris Adler

  • As I'm sure plenty of people before me said, he's a good drummer, but far from the best. I like Grohl very much, he's very entertaining and he looks spectacular doing it - hell, I even think that maybe he's the reason I picked up drumming myself, but I think there's a lot of drummers who should be closer to "the best", whatever that is.

  • TOMAS HAAKE. nuff' said

  • @666gugi666 xD Jay Postones, Matt Halpern, Navene Koperweis... Metal ftw

  • @NoaOno Zach Hill, Asgier Mickelson, etc.....

  • Dave Grohl:Im the best drummer in the world!

    Neil Peart: My god you have to be kidding...

    Buddy Rich:You Rang?

  • for his genre..that is the genre of...lets make some fucking money and still keep some integrity...yes sir. He's one of the greats.

  • Obviously a few of you didn't listen to the whole thing. His off hand beats are untouchable.

  • Id like to hear dave Grohl play a DAVE WECKL track,,,hhhmm.

  • Nice compilation. "Best" drummer may be an opinion...but it is one that I share. I was always a fan of Bonham and I haven't seen anyone else who brings that much energy and enthusiasm to the kit. Def a big influence on me as a musician.

  • TOMAS HAAKE

  • @NoaOno that's what i was about to write dude :D i'm gonna nevertheles ^^

  • 8:13 dave grohl percution solo with acustic guitar xdd

  • 6:57

  • Comment removed

  • You know, Kurt says this about Dave, Billy Corgan makes the Bonham comparison with Jimmy Chamberlin, they're both AMAZING, but i'd have to say overall, Jimmy is the second or third best drummer living, but Dave is not far from Jimmy at all, and they should definitely play together with Taylor.

  • is better with one pedal!

  • Mmm I like his drumming style, quite a few better than him, although it is impossible to say there is a best, just different styles

  • George Kollias. I win.

  • only drummer!! in nirvana!! bad singer... not GRUNGE!! IS LIKE BUSH... SELL SELL SELL

  • Dave Grohl fucking amazing

  • Matt Sorum?? Pffffft!! You cannot be serious. I can't believe you just said that. Ha!

  • you have to listen more music dude !!

  • KURT COBAIN'S voice?

  • you heard nothing thats the point. matt sorum is 10 times cooler for rock drumming. if you had a problem with this check out dave weckl, elvin jones, dennis chambers.

    for rock drumming acdc gnr iron maiden fuck off

  • no controversy, no complaining- this was a cool compiliation and NOT a waste of anything. Great example of how this meduim can be used. THANKS

  • Tony Royster Jr, Mike Portnoy, Mike Mangini, Neil Pearth, The Rev, George Kollias, Travis Barker, Dennis Chambers, Thomas Lang, Tomas Haake, Chris Adler, Tim Yeung and Buddy Rich outclass him by miles, yes this is true, but care, Dave Grohl is still an amazing musician overall! ;'] I mean Nirvana's Drummer and guitarist and lead vocals of Foo Fighters, try to beat that? :'D

  • NEIL PEART

  • @Xormac2 Hell yeah bro

  • @Xormac2 neil peart is a good drummer, not the best though, im kind of tired of people saying neil is the best, i agree that he is insane, but i dont think he is the best.

  • @Xormac2 or jojo mayer, or romain goulon

  • @Xormac2 Over-rated.. Gavin Harrison

  • @Xormac2 DAVE GROHL

  • @Xormac2 ....is a fucking faggot....

  • dave grohl is the most chillax guy, he's so awesome, and a great drummer. but whoever said he blows John Bonham away can suck a big, fat, veiny cock!!

  • Comment removed

  • I like Dave Grohl, but I would not consider him anywhere near the best drummer. Am I the only one that noticed that his solos and major fills are always the same thing?

  • its his opnion and dave grohl has a different style to anyone. no1 hits drums harder than dave. no1 has energy like dave. hes my fav drummer also, hes insane! great guy too

  • He is good. He isn't the best.

    Check out MY CHANNEL for some V-drumming. Rock On!!

  • As great as Dave Grohl is, the title is completely untrue.

  • Dave Grohl is far from the best drummer in the USA, let alone the best drummer in the world.

  • so sick of this guy...shiiiiiiiiiit!!!

  • errmm... COBUS would disagree with you... :P

  • Comment removed

  • A good Drummer but not the Best, I think there is no best drummer. good and genius drummers yes but not the best.

  • @1997slayerfan: yes bro.... you r absolutely right......

  • As a drummer, i love his aggression in his playing, The one thing he brings to drumming that most others don't in my opinion. There are still loads who are better though.

  • Sorry but Dave Grohl is not near the best...maybe in your opinion he is but it's a fact that he is not the best lol

  • is that black jack in 2:38?

  • @cjleongson yes.

  • great player, hits em hard and in the pocket

  • anyone ever thought of Buddy Rich? he might be dead but the guy was amazing and still is in my eyes

  • mike portnoy?the rev?travis barker?joey jordison?GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!

  • Max Weinberg is WAY better than this guy. :)

  • great drummer, but not even close to the best

  • Check out Buddy Rich. You welcome.

  • I don't give a crap what anyone says against Dave Grohl. They are wrong. He's an amazing all-round musician and incredibly creative song writer.

  • can never get enough bonham triplets.

  • danny carey from tool is better tha him

  • Comment removed

  • Did you ever heard death metal?

  • @ThrashHard95 Did you ever heard grammar?

  • he really is an amazing drummer, Drumming isn't about speed or how much you payed for your shit, its about how you use what you have, and your beat, drums lead the entire band and dave Grohl has amazing beat and never loses it. Buddy rich does the same thing but extrememly fast.

  • Best drummer? Maybe not, favourite drummer? YES! Dave is my inspiration.

  • Virgil Donati, Thomas Lang, Gene Hoglan, Sean Drover...Look into it.

  • who the suffering fuck is john bonn ham? your mother pulls each side of vagina lips over her head and dresses as a sugar puff.

  • BON HAM? You faggot!

  • Overrated 

  • I think hes the best for the style he plays, i mean if mike portnoy played this yeah it would still sound great but hes got a good feel for this music

  • I would put bonham above this, and peart above bonham.

  • is definitely one of the bests musicians of our time, but not the best drummer. i admire dave grohl, as a drummer, singer, guitar player,piano... he is just awesome..

  • Comment removed

  •  it's all just opinion. it's all just opinion.

  • Objectively, he has very impressive power, skill, and confidence. Subjectively, say whatever you want about who's the greatest ... it's all just opinion.

  • bon ham?

  • More like your favorite drummer which I can't argue it's your opinion. But what makes him best in the world? Just because he was in Nirvana and played all these gigs does'nt cut it! Mangini has several WFD (Worlds Fastest Drummer) records. Dave play's guitar and sings now I don't even really consider him when thinking of great drummers.

  • DANNY CAREY

  • @TheManonacid he may not be the best drummer of all time but he kicks Dave Grohls ass

  • @TheManonacid hes great as well! :)

  • While Dave certainly is a great drummer, he is NOT the best drummer in the world. When drummers are asked what drummer insprired them, they don't mention Dave Grohl. To be a great drummer, one needs to play their drums in a way that their sound is recognized no matter what. I can't see Dave drum beats and fills being memorable or having a style that other want to copy. John Bonham will always be regarded as the world's best drummer ever so let's all get used to that being said forever as well.

  • Dave is the best because of his energy, power and charisma. And also because he played for Nirvana. Not with an obscure death metal band only known by freaks and blood drinkers.

  • lol why is dave groul getting all the credit, so many drummers are better than him?

  • when I grow up I WANT TO BE AS GOOD AS DAVE GROHL!!!

    HE´S THE ONE WHO INSPIRED ME TO PLAY DRUMS

    LONG LIVE DAVE, THE FOO´S AND NIRVANA LEGACY!!!

  • hes the best cause he does triplets all the time? LOL

  • A great musician? True!

    Best drummer in the world? Bitch please!

  • Fuck dave is gay, Danny carey is where its at. 

  • @NBFRabbitKaboo You are clearly uneducated.

  • john bon..ham

  • I got 39 bullets,,,, i know where they are going
