    Who cares that this guy comes across as more nuts than a trunkful of angry squirrels, and wears a KFC bag on his head? Check out his ripping version of Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" (oh, and watch his other vids if you're ever in a down mood, trust me, his vid's will have you rolling about in 5 seconds!)



    Check out his version of Motley Crüe's "Dr Feelgood"!

    Oh yeah, he likes to rave on about other stuff...

    I won't make an exhaustive list. My current favorite is Mike Portnoy.

    He's not "the" most technical out there, but he's the inspiration for getting me into drumming again 3 years ago. I didn't grow up listening to Dream Theater when I had my Tama kit, so over the years and countless hours of steering wheel thumb drumming, I decided to buy a Roland kit and try out these crazy beats that I had figured out for the most part inside my head.

    He's still a challenge for me, and I like that. Going to be practicing his parts for years to come.

    Still Derek Roddy for me, Kollias is a close second.
    Ukri Suvilheto is a huge inspiration, playing the music he does at such a young age.

    Thomas Lang and Benny Greb have been huge sources of interest for me laately also.
    Oh and Horacio Hernandez.
    On a different note... There are so many of these favourite drummer threads, i think it's about time we got one stickied.

    Has to, for me, be Neil Peart. I've been to 13 Rush concerts over the years and every one of them he has been spot on every time. Note for note. And his arrangements are not easy. He's not called the Professor for nothing.

    Definitely going to go with Dave Grohl. From his simple, yet bold and powerful playing in Nirvana, to his somewhat complex playing in Them Crooked Vultures and Queens Of The Stone Age, to his perfect for the song parts in Tenacious D.

    Some of my other favorites:

    Dom Howard
    Joey Castillo
    Taylor Hawkins
    Vinnie Paul
    John Bonham
    Mike Portnoy
    Ringo Starr
    Lars Ulrich

    I have a lot of favorite drummers. Too many to mention. But if I had to pick a few I would start with Neil (no last name needed...lol) then Matt Sorum and Taylor Hawkins. The first based on sheer greatness. The latter mainly on their passion and attitudes. A lot of great one's out there.
