Watchmojo fucked up again. Danny Carey from Tool is better than all these guys. Mike Portnot is wayyy better than Dave Lambardo too. Bunch of 4/4 plebs playing double bass pedals at 200bpm. Lmao. Should've got a real drummer to make this list. Hell, even Zach Hill is a much better drummer than all these guys playing math rock. He plays a single pedal at insane speed and lays down the most complex and fast polyrythmic beats. His left and right handwork is unmatched. Not to mention Lars made it. Even the rock list is much better.
Dave "AK-47" Lombardo
VINNIE PAUL #1 ON MY LIST
phil rudd from ac dc is the best drummer
Why isn't Dale Doback on this list, fucken Prestige Worldwide all the way!
"Let's not include Led Zeppelin or Rush cause the fall under classic hard rock". Yet Van Halen and Black Sabbath are on the list……….. WTF!!!!!!
Is this a popularity list and not skill? If that is the case i could see it… maybe
Nicko and Lars are legends but they really aren't good players. they fit their bands but technically there are way better drummers
Putting Lars in front of Nicko is an insult.
Not mentioning to show Clive Burr while talking about Nicko is a huge … mistake… !!
Scott Travis – Judas Priest
Joey only gets #9?
In what world is joey at number 9, mike portnoy at number 5, and Lars at number fucking 3???
"You don't even have to be a drummer to appreciate his skills" ( or something like that). Yeah I'm pretty sure that goes without saying with like anything.
Why tf is joey at 9
am I the only one who ask where Thomas Lang is?
Ummm…… Nick Menza???
R.I.P. The REV
I would remove asshole extraordinaire Lars and include master Cozy Powell
You missed the best drummer I've ever seen………….. Shannon Larkin of Godsmack and Ugly Kid Joe. How dare you!!!!!!!
I'd love to see anyone mentioned here play the intro to "Straight Out Of Line" by Godsmack.
first of, why is lars evenonthelist, second, how is he so fucking high on the list!?
rob bourdon?
