[sctrapshootr]

Ringo Starr

 

[Bill Stern]

Max Roach!

 

[blade819]

Neal Pert! No doubt about this whatsoever. He uses old school grips when he can and is a technical maniac. Forty years ago, Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich and Sandy Nelson.

I'm with Blade

 

[Remdog1187]

Charlie Watts.

 

[shannon391]

Ginger Baker, from Cream-Traffic. He was fully accomplished musically,(quote from Eric Clapton} he could write, compose, ect... He always said he was more of a jazz drummer than rock.

Moon and Bohnam agreed, they were not in his class.

Problem being, he was a very cranky addict!

From a technical perspective I'd have to say Neil Peart from Rush.

 

[gailmk67]

Here are 2 that most have never heard of but have played with a lot of top names; From a technical perspective and unbelievable versatility not many better.
Simon Phillips and Marco Minneman. Give them a listen and see for yourselves.
