To me, Pierre Moerlen outdoes every drummer I've heard.

Someo Therguy: Props on Minnemann, he sure is scary. Still, check out Mark Mondesir - Minnemann may be scary, but Mondesir is downright terrifying http://www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Mark_Mondesir.html DualXP: Welcome to the forum |

How could I forget mentioning Pierre Moerlen?? Also, Tomas Haake from Meshuggah is one of the most perfect and technical drummers in music history! Edited by Bj-1 |

Next time I will post the same poll without Peart and Brufford it would be much more interesting. As for me the most skilled drummer ever heard is Mark Zonder but I don't think that anyone would vote for him so he isn't on the list. |

You should watch this one video no drummerworld. It's a three-way solo battle between Colaiuta, Weckly and Gadd. |

Oversimplifying a bit, Gadd lays down a killer groove and Weckl/Colaiuta add the ornamentation. You'll find it on this page: |

Bruford, peart, bozzio and cobham, they have extremely different styles!!! it's hard to say which one is better skilled, I think they all had the greatest skills possible, just like the degree in which thet elaborated their skills!
honorable mention: Gavin Harrisson from PorcupineTree !!! (real revelation, at first I didn't like it that much, because he sounded too technical, but he's great and on stage he does hits these little toms and symbals in funny places to get the attention of the band, besides this all ,I think he comes over like a strong personality which gives the band a more coherent look) |

Have to give it to Brufford. I am not a big fan of Rush, mainly because
of Lee's vocals. I am sorry, but I just cannot listen to him for very
long.Sorry all of you fans who think Rush is the second coming, but
what I have heard of Rush appears to be mainly in 4/4 time. Correct me
if I am wrong. However I have heard Brufford play in all kinds of
strange time signatures. It is nearly impossible to keep up. Any
drummer will tell you it gives them a sense of great accomplishment to
be able to play Close To The Edge note for note. It is not about
speed, but his playing is fast, clean, and incredibly complex.
Get your hands on the first U.K. album, some King Crimson albums and
some of his solo work with Moraz and you will see what I mean.

I'd go with Colaiuta. He somehow can make a straight-ahead 4/4 beat sound stylish and talented. Even the way he sits behind his kit looks very professional. He has a helluva look of complete control.
As for not on the list: I personally am in awe of Weathers from Gentle Giant. You need to be highly skilled to follow the insane and complex changes in their compositions. He managed to do it admirably. If those songs were left in a less-skilled drummer's hands, their wonderful tunes could have easily turned into train wrecks instead of the indisputable classics they all are, IMHO. Merry Christmas to all of you,
Dan Stevens |

players on it- Peter Furrer of FLAME DREAM and Coco Rousell of HAPPY THE MAN?!? Merry Christmas! Dale Hauskins Edited by Guitsy |

Somebody back there mentioned Mike Mangini and I remembered something I saw him do at a Steve Vai concert. In the middle of a drum solo he started playing a tight snare drum roll. As he held the roll, with his right hand he picked up a marsh mellow and began to nibble it with a big grin. The roll never changed.

Most skilled drummer?
Topic Options
. Please check out the other drummers mentioned in this thread. Carey, while excellent, is not the be-all, end-all of drums.
