Re: Best Drummer Ever
The name Buddy Rich sticks in the memory because my late father was a drummer in his spare time and enthused about him. I can't remember ever seeing Buddy Rich play (on TV) but, as a wee thing, I was outraged when Dad poo pooed Sandy Nelson and declared him useless lol !In my youth I though Ginger Baker was pretty good but
wow 
that Buddy Rich video is truly amazing Thank you Wishbone
Ooo I was also impressed by Eric Delaney who played timpani (kettle drums) .... hmmmm not sure what Dad thought about that
and I lament that Dad's not around to give me an educated opinion on the drumming in Whiplash.

Naaaah!! Sandy Wilson was a good drummer in the same way that Duane Eddy was a good guitarist.............ie not at all!The best drummer I have ever seen or heard by a country mile is the great Ginger Baker - totally awesome. Mind you it helped him that in Cream, he was playing with arguably the best bass player and best (blues/rock) guitarist in the world.

Re: Best Drummer Ever
What is a drummer?-Ginger Baker could play some very strange timings,Bonham was part of the sound that was Zeppelin. Keith Moon was a head banger. Back in the early-mid 60s the drummer was not given the notice they deserved so who knows what some from the past were capable of?19-07-2015, 01:22 PM

Bonham was limited but Moon could have been as good as Baker or Watts if he hadn't overindulged quite so much. In most rock bands, the sign of a good rhythm section is that you don't notice them - the relationship between drummer and bass player is key and the best rhythm sections are partnerships - Baker and Bruce, Moon and Entwhistle, Watts and Wyman, Fleetwood and McVie etc.
