I know I'm from the more senior generation on here but I was surprised that it took two pages to get to the best, Colin Flooks (Cozy Powell if you are not from Cirencester) it is for me. I am a huge fan of Cream and have no issue with Ginger being up there as well. Look at the groups that Colin played with and get a feel for his versatility and range. The fact that the wife went to school with him and Iworked for many years with his next door neighbour has nothing to do with it. I suppose there is a time and place for everyone and unfortunately Colins time was cut short.

Best regards and who cares just enjoy the music.

It's his own fault he's got one arm. I could never understand all the sympathy at the time, was he drunk or just driving like an idiot?



AFAIK... he lost his arm when the tour bus crashed, wasn't aware that he was driving, sure he was drunk though

I stand corrected Gazza, don't know where i got that from!

His determination as a drummer is beyond reproach, but not in the same league as some mentioned above.

I have listened to both Ginger baker and Cozy powell, no contest
Cozy was musical with rythm, Ginger a weird smashing sound on some tins

Sandy Nelson for me, I wish i had a record player as ive just found my "let there be drums" album , it must be knocking on 25-30 years old

Mettalica's original bassist (Cliff Burton?) got killed when their bus crashed if thats what you were thinking of. Didnt the guy from def leopard also kill his girlfriend in that crash.

Joey from slipknot gets my vote. Watch hsi drum solo on disasterpiece DVD when the drum kits turned up on edge and turns round and round.

I quite like Lar's from Metallica he's not that amazing but has some weird style that few people seem to do. Rember seeing a video of Machine Head trying to learn battery and the drummer complaining about how hard it was, when he thought it looked easy. lol

Now if you want a proper drummer, listen to Dave Weckl or Steve Gadd!

Keith Moon! also knew how and where to drive Rollers!

Nicko Mcain got me sacked as roadie for the Pat Travers Band to get his mate a job. It was a bit of a shame i taped his loons to his stick bag so when he stood up the whole kit went over

I've just watched the video and all I can say is who is the sound man? All the toms are gated so hard that they all sound like kick drums, which are all so, as we say, "tits and arse" i.e all treble and bass, as to be just clicking noises instead of sounding like actual drums. He might be a great drummer but I can't tell 'cause the sound is so s***e.

Mmmmm while looking for the vid clip of Cozy powell I came across (oh err) a group called Blackmores Night. They seem a bit far out (Blackmore reckons he's a wizard now I think) but the singer is megfa tasty and the sound is a cross between Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) and Eva Cassidy with a bit of medievil (sp) music thrown in. What do you reckon to this as I quite like it.

Sorry for the typing/spelling as I've had a few (was 45 on thursday but only look like 28)





If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

You really shouldn't drink so much, even 28 is fare too much.

For overall technique Buddy Rich is probably the Jess Owens or Muhammed Ali of drumming. I like Billy Cobham in the more modern technical drumming era. Not so good technicaly but favourites of mine. Carl Palmer Simon Kirk and of course the mighty thudding rock sound of John Bonham. Not forgetting Micky Dolenz of the Monkees....

I just read this thread from page one, as it's an old thread I wondered if i had posted, but hadn't. I was going to mention george ^_^ Also Gavin Harrison of porcupine tree pwns.





The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

Everyone knows Queen are the best band in the world, and by transitive properties that means Roger Taylor is the best drummer!
