Bill Ward is (to my) the fucking best drummer of all history. Is the first heavy metal drummer of the history:

dude Rat Salad is sooo sick! Bill Ward's one of the best, and probably my favorite, drummers ever. Hands down. and he's actually unappreciated. You always hear about John Bonham as being one of the best but not usually bill

[hoppinonabronzeleg]

Bill is a legend!!! You should be on the new BS album, you are a hero & an inspiration. So many people love your drumming

[SabbathFuckingSucks]

Bill was better than John Bonham back in the day. 

[leeking007]

Yes I agree, he is an extraordinarily amazing drummer no argument. 

[JaydeeOldBoy]

Bill Ward, the only drummer who has ever managed to rival John Bonhan.

[bayern4316]

It is amazing that he's still alive with all the booze and coke and heart attacks he's had. He can actually do a push up?

Sounds like Darth Vader's the new PNN camera man.

Bonzo, Bonzo, Bonzo, Bonzo... brainwashed sheep. Same kind who say "Peart, Peart, Peart, Peart". First of all, Bonham himself said that Ian Paice was a much better drummer. Which is true, if you ignore taste and look only at technical abilities, control and consistency. Ward was also much more versatile than Bonham, and didn't make half as many errors during shows as Bonham did. You can claim to enjoy a style more, but you can't say 'my god can beat up your god' when quite clearly, he cannot.

@fuitall ABSOLUTELY far under rated!!! I've dissected his style ..... He is heavily influenced through old jazz progressions --- he is phenomenal. I THINK the trouble he encountered early on with getting recognition was in the recording studio. They just set up mics in those days and recorded a gig. The intricacies of his progress are HARD TO HEAR!!! They are difficult to pull out of the mix. Even with remastering the old stuff, it is difficult to get ALL of what Bill played.

[jofujenkins]

as i've gotten older i've really started to understand how truly awesome Ward was with Sabbath. the guy had an absolutely EPIC left hand and right foot, and doesn't get the credit he deserves for being a true pioneer. everyone will bring up Bonham in conversations - and rightfully so - but it's not fair to also NOT bring up Ward in the same talks.

as an aside, one must also remember that about 90% of those classic Sabbath songs he recorded, Ward was drunk as SHIT and still sounded amazing.
