+1 on Matt Cameron, very syncopated and amazing live.

Mike Lowry from Lake Trout is pretty damned good, and nobody has ever heard of either him, or the band. I cant even find them on youtube.

Cliff Davies- Worked with Ted Nugent through most of the seventies and eighties as his drummer and co-producer.
All my favorite "drum fills" are included in this one song.

It is so sad. Karen had so much going for her. Never underrated in my book!!

Darren King of MuteMath.

If you listen to their music, you know that the sound of his drums is so bad that it doesn't matter if he does that to his equipment. They're so raw and freestyle. Not to mention really nice, clean guys. I yelled out Darren's name at the last show I saw them at, and Darren turned around and was like "What?" Everybody else was just screaming, you know? That got a laugh out of him.

In my opinion its Chad Szeliga. He's extremely well known either. But he's got chops out the wazoooo....here's some vids

John Otto from Limp Bizket...

[rsheele]

Being a Clutch fan I am biased and think the whole band is underrated. But anyway I've always loved JP's style.

Terry Williams. Solid as anything!

Gotta say though. Ringo, not only not given enough appreciation, but much of the time actively derided. Words fail me!

Oh, and for minimalist drummers:-

Gets more out of less than just about anyone on the planet.

[UnderFire]

Brad Wilk is one of my favorite drummers!!! I would post Vietnow, but the language is a little harsh. But Brad's drumming is mint!

I love playing Vietnow! but yes it is very harsh.

Here we have Meg White.

All of you can just bow down to her now.

[Mr. Tama]

Mike Marsh from Dashboard Confessional. Obviously Chris gets almost all the attention since he started off mainly acoustic, but Mike's drum parts blow me away. He is actually a VERY technical drum cover. Watch more than just this one. You'll see what I mean.

Billy martin-
He has one of the most relaxed techniques and amazing taste. The dude can rip a million notes a minute, but 99.9999999% time never shows. You'd never expect him to have an amazing technique from listening to the albums, but watching him live is really cool. He can play an amazingly subtle swing feel as well. Plus, I have yet to hear a cat groove like Illy B

Paul McCartney was pretty good too in my opinion. Don't know of any video's out there though - I can't access youtube at work. Anyone seen any footage?

[Drumbledore]

Yeah Stevie Wonder is the man!

Another drummer who is insanely good but doesn't get mentioned NEARLY enough is Weird Al's drummer Bermuda Schwartz. He can play pretty much any genre out there.

.....and I thought I was the only one that dug Bermuda.


ok...for you old school punks....here's an absolute absolute underrated one. Anyone outside of Australia familiar with the Hard Ons?

Keish Da Silva....singer and drummer. And I'm not making this up.....he's my mate's cousin!



But yeah Pastor Bob....good call, Nick Mason....hugely underrated. All the glory went to Gilmour, Syd, Waters etc....but....where would Pink Floyd be without Nick holding down the fort? Never underestimate him, like I did when I was stupid and dumb. PB, are you also familiar with this guy?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the inimitable Tristan Fry....one time member of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, no less

[NoiseInMotion]

I don't think he's been mentioned, but Ilan Rubin is definitely one of the more underrated/unheard of drummers, at least from what I've seen. He had a few bands going in the past, but he hit more mainstream popularity after joining Lostprophets, a Welsh alternative rock band. During their down time, he also started a side project called The New Regime. He writes and records everything himself for TNR. Really great stuff. He's probably best known for being the touring drummer for Nine Inch Nails during their last tour. He left LPS for NIN in...2008, I think. From what I hear, he's focusing on TNR these days. Here's his latest song, called "Remission of Guilt".

/edit:
Something I forgot to mention. He's only 21 years old. He's been playing and touring since he was 9 years old. He also holds the world record for youngest artist on a woodstock stage.

[FknDrummer]

Yep..... I'm beginning to think that no one has ever heard morgan rose at all... lol

[signpost]

Well, this guy. Imagine this but with a Mike Portnoy-mix... he´s also from my hometown!
