Besides Buddy Rich of course. I left him out because I didn't want the votes to be 100 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0 / 0.
Keith Moon - Very energetic (and destructive) style. He wasn't a fan of drum solos, he just went along with the other music very well. Most notable songs were [i]Won't Get Fooled Again[/i] and [i]Bargain.[/i]
Bill Ward - The first drummer to play heavy metal. Notable songs are [i]Iron Man[/i] and [i]War Pigs.[/i]
Ginger Baker - Known as the first superstar of the drums in rock music. The OG. He had a very unique sound. Notable songs are [i]Toad[/i] and [i]White Room.[/i]
John Bonham - He had it all; speed, power, and the right "feel." Notable songs are [i]Good Times Bad Times[/i] ( yes thats only one bass pedal), [i]How Many More Times[/i], and [i]Moby Dick[/i]
Mitch Mitchell - Often underlooked because most people were focused on Hendrix himself. He had somewhat of a jazz fusion style to him. Notable songs are [i]Voodoo Chile[/i] and [i]Hear My Train A Comin[/i]. Here's some links because theyre kind of hard to find:
https://vimeo.com/137435759
https://vimeo.com/47657590 (fast forward to 14:09, or listen to the whole thing its a great album)
Neil Peart - Everybody knows about this guy. I don't need to explain him. Notable songs are [i]Xanadu[/i] and [i]2112[/i] (or pretty much any Rush song for the matter).
Mickey Hart - He was one of two drummers in Grateful Dead. Him and Bill Kreutzman. They had a really unique thing going on, think of a lead and rhythm guitar but for drums, Mickey being the lead. They've played so many live shows and theyre so different every time its hard to list some notable songs. I guess [i]Terrapin Station[/i] is a good example.
My vote goes to Mitchell.
Edit: Mitch only 2%? Sigh...

Edited by Undying Serpent: 1/22/2016 10:36:28 AMI'm giving my vote to either Mike Portnoy or Mike Mangini. Chris Adler, Shannon Lucas, and Dave Lombardo are definitely up there too.

You Zeppelin fanbois need to give yourself a lesson in Cream.

Fastest way to piss a drummer off when they ask you this question, say Rick Allen of Def Leopard.

Keith Moon all the way for me. He could make even the simplest beats sound awesome (see "Eyesight to the Blind" from [i]Tommy[/i]).
