Answer 1

Whenever I see best drummer around, it amazes me that its always Neil peart thats a consensus pick.

palmer is good, but I say the greatest is Buddy Rich...or Dave Weckl

edit:..of course Buddy rich isn't alive, so i guess technically he isn't "around"

Answer 2

The best is Phil Ehart and most will never have heard of him.

Answer 3

Darrin Pfeiffer. Best drummer ever.

Listen to superman by goldfinger.

Answer 4

no, I still don't think so. here are a few reasons why (mostly but not quite all jazz):

Answer 5

quin alman is the greatest drummer, ever.

homie.

Answer 6

Carl Palmer is one of the best drummers around, along with Neil Peart.  Don't forget Keith Moon and John Bonham (RIP).

Answer 7

Dude -- John Bonham was and will always be the best rock drummer ever.  He played lead and rhythm at the same time.

Answer 8

I think He is pretty much, except for Neal Peart, and possibly Carmine Appice.

Quin whotheheck? Fail.

Answer 9

Of course I do. I have done since I first heard his solo in a live version of "Fanfare for the Common Man"

I also really like Stephen Morris' (Joy Division/New Order) mechanical drumming.

Answer 10

Tron thank god you agree with me. It seemed like I was the only one who recognized Buddy Rich as the best there for awhile.  

My personal favorite is Jason Bittner from Shadows Fall though.
