Number 9. As Ian Gillan shouts at the end of The Mule on Made In Japan: "Ian Paice on the drums. YES". The only remaining original member of Deep Purple but still an outstanding drummer. One of the all time great rock drummers, who was influenced by jazz drummers like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa. You can still hear the 'swing' in his playing to this day. During Purple's down time, he played with Whitesnake, Gary Moore and Paice, Ashton & Lord. His "guest" appearances have been with bands/artists as diverse as Paul McCartney, The Velvet Underground and all points between. But it's obviously Purple who he's best known for. Made In Japan is of course, his high water mark - although that pounding intro to Fireball still sounds awesome, more than 50 years later. With Roger Glover, he is part of one of the most under rated rhythm sections going. They keep everything locked in tight, while the guitarist and keyboard player (whoever they happen to be at the time) can take their flights of fancy.
Mike Portnoy I was a teenager when Dream Theater was breaking through. I played drums, and while I loved playing along to Rush albums, there was something about DT songs that had an added layer of fun to them. In my band, we played Pull Me Under and Erotomania. Then I made it my mission to learn Metropolis Pt 1. It was a blast playing those songs, and Mike really knew how to create some compelling parts. In addition to those songs I love air drumming along to: 6:00 Caught in a Web The Mirror (the way he shifts the beats around Petrucci’s 3 note riff is amazing) Scarred And I just checked out Liquid Tension for the first time last year. So glad I did. Also, I got to see DT in the small Birch Hill club in NJ about 15 minutes away from where I grew up. That was pretty incredible.
9- Nicko McBrain Maiden's driving force since 1983. What an incredible drummer recording and playing live since I heard Iron Maiden on legendary tours. Any album from “Piece of Mind” to “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son” is my favorite. And the intro to “Run to the Hills” is legendary.

#9 for me is Buddy Rich. Jazz/Big Band drummer Buddy was known for his really fast playing, but he was also an early showman, incorporating flashing tricks with his drumsticks. He played with Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, and more. Buddy is truly one of the Drummers-drummer, as you will find him listed as an early influencer of many of the rock drummers of the 1960’s.
Pick #9: Cozy Powell - Rainbow/ Whitesnake Rainbow - "Rising" released on Polydor Records in '76. Rainbow - "Long Live Rock and Roll" on Polydor in '78 Whitesnake - "Slide it in'" released on Liberty/Emi originally in '84. The other drummer. I did Ian Paice yesterday. Mr. Powell has drummed on more than 66 LP Albums. An idol for many drummers, he is currently regarded as perhaps one of the most influential in the rock drumming genre.

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who sent me your best wishes yesterday, it meant a lot. The scan itself went well and I just now have to await the results. Thank you all again. My choice today is one that has been rightly picked by a number of you here and also by Pete, who said all that really needed to be said about BRIAN DOWNEY. He was the glue that held Thin Lizzy together especially when things were getting particularly volatile and difficult within the band. He was very much the unsung hero, most of the attention being on those twin guitars (and Eric Bell in their early days) and of course one of the truly great writers, singers, bass players and frontmen in Phil. Brian's drumming within Lizzy spanned different disaplines and styles. My favourite albums for his drumming are Johnny The Fox, Bad Reputation and Black Rose, but he was uniformly excellent throughout their career. Fave performances, I can't split the title tracks of Bad Reputation and Black Rose.
In no particular order: 9) Charlie Watts Albums: Let It Bleed Sticky Fingers Exile on Main St. Songs: Can't You Hear Me Talking Honky Tonk Women Get Off Of My Cloud Monkey Man Midnight Rambler Loving Cup Gimme Shelter 9) Charlie Watts 10) Andy Parker 11) Clive Burr 12) Levon Helm 13) Jason Bonham 14) Keith Moon 15) Nick Mason 16) Nicko McBrain 17) Tommy Aldridge 18) Max Weinberg 19) John Panozzo 20) Doug Clifford 21) Joey Kramer 22) Carmine Appice 23) Vinny Appice 24) Alex Van Halen 25) Ginger Baker 26) Roger Taylor 27) Kenny Aronoff 28) Steve Smith 29) Dylan Sevey 30) Jeff Porcaro
Today's pick is Buddy Rich I don't know what albums to pick but I've seen so many videos which he has played on and there is no one like him..A giant drummer in the history pages of music..
#9 is out of the ordinary for me. I am not much of a blues guy, nor a Southern rock fan. However, when I hear the early Allman Brothers Band, the drumming stands out. I realized there were two drummers. But one of the drummers had a crashing style that always gained my notice. I always envisioned this mate to be looking to demolish his kit. After doing some research, the particular drummer is (was) Butch Trucks. Best examples of the crashing and smashing: IN MEMORY OF ELIZABETH REED; JESSICA; Title track to WIN, LOSE, OR DRAW. #10 Stewart Copeland - The Police #11 Mel Gaynor - Simple Minds. Favorite Mel Albums with SM: SPARKLE IN THE RAIN (Probably their heaviest); BIG MUSIC; ONCE UPON A TIME. Favorite drum performance: DON’T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME). #12 Barriemore Barlow - Jethro Tull #13 Terrance Sullivan - Renaissance #14 Pierre van der Linden - Focus. Favorite Drum Albums: MOVING WAVES; FOCUS 3; FOCUS 12. Favorite performance: HOCUS POCUS. #15 Terry Bozzio - Missing Persons #16 Simon Phillips #17 Danny Gotlieb - Pat Metheny Group…I know he has worked with McLaughlin and others, but I am only familiar with his work with Pat. My favorite albums with Danny: AS FALLS WICHITA, SO FALLS WICHITA FALLS; WATERCOLORS; PAT METHENY GROUP. Favorite drum performance - JACO from PAT METHENY GROUP. #18 Carl Palmer - ELP #19 Keith Moon - The Who: This is tough. Moon, a degenerate in so many ways was also dynamic as a drummer. He was always noticeable! Best drumming albums: QUADROPHENIA; LIVE AT LEEDS, and WHO’S NEXT. Best drumming performance: again, very very difficult, but will go with DON’T GET FOOLED AGAIN. #20 Harold Brown - War: Best drumming albums is tough, they all incorporated Brown’s signature sound. I would say, in the classic era “WHY CAN’T WE BE FRIENDS stood out because of the reggae influences Harold was adding. That album includes a song that would be a top candidate for my War signature song - LOW RIDER. The Signature song for me - the title song from ALL DAY MUSIC. It is a piece where the little things he does really stand out, making their own kind of melody. #21 P.J Wilson - Procol Harum #22 Mick Woodmansey - Bowie and the Spiders from Mars #23 Alex Van Halen #24 Chester Thompson - Genesis #25 Joe Morello - Dave Brubeck Quartet #26 Tommy Taylor - Eric Johnson Band #27 Don Brewer - Grand Funk Railroad #28 Graeme Edge - The Moody Blues #29 Mike Joyce - The Smiths #30 Adam Smith - The 77s
Hi Pete & everyone. Dave here. My pick today is JOHN BONHAM, drummer (and hellraiser) in Led Zeppelin. Could be versatile and intricate, but best known for his powerhouse drumming, and there's been no equal. Albums: Led Zeppelin II and IV. Physical Graffiti. Showcase track: When The Levee Breaks.
Today's pick is Neil Peart. While my favorite albums are the very early Rush records, the 3 I'll choose are 2112, Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres. Best cut is "2112". Peart was a special talent and in the conversation for the best Rock drummer of all-time. Phenomenal lyricist and percussionist, Neil Peart is a legend.

Michael Shrieve Playing along with Jose "Chepito" Areas and Michael Carabello in Santana, he was for a time part of an amazing percussion unit. Santana's Caravanserai was co-produced by him and he wrote or co-wrote 4 of its 10 tracks, so no surprise it's a bit jazzier than preceding albums.
9. Kozo Suganuma - All-time king of Japanese drumming, known musically for being the drum chair in Fragile. He also was a lifelong instructor, turning out many future pros, including Senri Kawaguchi. Album picks are Fragile - Zann, and his solo album Convergence. Track pick is Xenon, from Fragile
Good morning (afternoon, evening or night), Pete. An outstanding SoT selection. Personal pick today? An English drummer with an interest in world music and jazz and who played with one of the better-known power trios of its day - the thunderous Peter Edward "Ginger" Baker. My oft-mentioned older brother was a tremendous fan of Eric Clapton during that time and brought home all the Cream albums for seemingly endless and repeated playings. So the first album I bought with Mr. Baker in the band was the eponymous 1969 debut and only studio album of Blind Faith. Not surprisingly, though, the favorite albums remain the Cream catalogue since they became part of my musical DNA. Fresh Cream, Wheels of Fire and Disraeli Gears and the albums for today. The song? Tough. But for sheer bombast, have to go with the Fresh Cream album closer of Toad demonstrating quite a bit of what Ginger brought to the front with his drumming. Thanks, Pete. Looking forward to your next selection.
My pick #9 is Vinnie Colaiuta ( Frank Zappa, Sting, Joni Mitchell, Megadeth ). I haven´t listened consciously to the drum work from Tony Williams, but he seems to be an amazing drummer.

Excellent pick with Tony right there he made my honorable mentions Pick number 9 Pick Withers Most know him as the drummer for dire straits He's also a very good drummer session musician now In demand still 1. Dire straits debut 2. Dire straits communique 3. Bob Dylan slow train coming Yes the reason I chose the Bob Dylan one is because Mark knopfler who Bob invited to play on also brought Pick when asking for a recommended drummer from Mark so called him also along to play some drums.. it was done the same place as Communique down at muscle shoals Alabama produced by Barry Beckett. So both of them were produced and muscle shoals right there what's Mark hanging with the great muscle shoals And it was hanging with Bob a bit realizing he's also a very good producer in his own right tapped him to produce his 1983 infidels album. The two favorite Pick songs are from dire straits His great playing on sultans of swing And also once upon a Time in the West

Hi folks, hope we're all well, and ready for the weekend. My choice of drummer on day #22 is the man who used to sit behind the kit in a band who were, once upon a time, for a period of about 5 or 6 years, my answer to the question, what is your favourite band at the moment? Their popularity then nose-dived, but, in recent years, they're back in favour again, certainly with myself and Pete at least!! SCOTT ROCKENFIELD: ex-QUEENSRYCHE Like many of us, I first heard Scott tearing into his kit on the near-mythical Queen Of The Reich ep, and if it hadn't been for Geoff Tate's ear-splitting, dog-bothering opening scream, the drums might have been the first thing I noticed given the precise, powerful pummelling that accompanied that amazing riff, but if not then, it certainly wasn't long before Scitt's skill was plain for all to see... So, 3 albums from Scott's time in the band coming up... • Rage For Order (1986) - almost the "odd one out" of the early albums • Operation : Mindcrime (1988) - a masterpiece from start to finish, musically and stylistically • Condition Human (2015) - his Swansong, and the 2nd album of the band's resurrection following the arrival of Todd La Torre As for a single track to highlight the drummer's qualities, I'm heading for a fourth album. Some of the 'Ryche's best songs start slowly then build to a crescendo, Rockenfield's drums increasing in potency as they do so - No Sanctuary and Another Rainy Night for instance, and I'm goingvti the Empire album and picking "Anybody Listening?"
My drummer pick for today will be Cozy Powell who has been a drummer in a lot of bands and projects over the years prior to his death and it is an extensive list of bands that he has played with so its the late great Colin Powell aka Cozy Thanks Pete have a wonderful weekend Y'all. 🎶🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁
9 - Mike Portnoy Favorites are Flying Colors - Second Nature, Transatlantic - Bridge Across forever, Jon Arch - A Twist of Fate, and Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence which contains my favorite Portnoy track - The Great Debate
9. The Cat Man, Peter Criss My immersion into the rock and roll world as a budding musician at 14. I must have played Rock Bottom on my drum kit a thousand times to learn how to keep time. But Peter did have a little swing in some of his songs from his jazzy influences. Honorable mention to Phil Rudd as a timekeeper. KiSS Alive and Alive 2 we're great tutoring records for me.

At day # 22, my pick goes to 9. ROGER TAYLOR, Queen Roger Taylor and Brian May have been started together in the band “Smile”, with Tim Staffell (bass and lead vocals). After Staffell left the band and Freddie Mercury and John Deacon had joined in, they changed the band name to “Queen”. Queen’s early work in the 70s was rough and fast hard rock, whilst also containing some prog elements. Roger’s drums were fast and thundering all over the place on songs like “Keep Yourself Alive”, “Great King Rat”, “Liar”, “Stone Cold Crazy”, “I’m In Love With My Car” and “Sheer Heart Attack”. Additional to his drum work, he provided high harmony vocals, and also sometimes sang lead on some of the several songs he had written on his own for the band. In the 80s, Roger wrote some of their most well-known hit songs like “Radio Ga Ga” and “A Kind Of Magic”, with the lead vocals left to Freddie . Roger has recorded several solo albums up from 1981 to the present, where he sang all the vocals and played several other instruments, besides the drums. He also has fronted his own band project while still having been with Queen from 1988-91, called “The Cross”, touring and releasing a few albums. After Freddie Mercury had died and John Deacon had retired, Roger and Brian decided to carry on touring as “Queen +” with other singers (Paul Rodgers from 2005-2009, and Adam Lambert, up from 2012). Their decision to carry on after Freddie’s death is debated controversial in the Queen fan community. 09. Roger Taylor 10. Bill Bruford 11. Bill Ward 12. Alan White 13. Mick Tucker 14.

Pick number 9, Zdravko Širola Cajo, played drums but also keyboards from 1981 until 1987 in Atomsko sklonište, hard rock band from city of Pula. Try song Treba imat’ dušu from album Mentalna higijena, released in 1982. Frankly, I always disliked this song, but it was a huge Yugoslav hit back in the day, keeping the position for three months.
#9 John Bonham Favorite albums: Led Zeppelin 2; Houses of the Holy; Physical Graffiti (all by LZ) Favorite performance: Achilles Last Stand (LZ) # 10 Mike Portnoy # 11 Phil Collins # 12 Tony Williams # 13 Ian Paice # 14 Jaki Liebezeit # 15 Ringo Starr # 16 Steve Gadd # 17 Jim Keltner # 18 Michael Shrieve # 19 Buddy Rich # 20 Ginger Baker # 21 Cozy Powell # 22 Guy Evans # 23 John Weathers # 24 Klaus Dinger # 25 Vinnie Colaiuta # 26 Jon Hiseman # 27 Mick Tucker # 28 Mitch Mitchell # 29 Dave Lombardo # 30 Manu Katché
Need to check out more of his stuff. My #9: Going with a killer drummer from one of the big 4 of Thrash. Talking about Dave Lombardo from Slayer!! Albums: Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits, Reign In Blood Song: Raining Blood
Frank Zappa/Joni Mitchell's ... Vinnie Colaiuta Frank Zappa ... Tinseltown Rebellion Steely Dan ... Two Against Nature Barry Manilow ... Swing Street Favorite Track: Frank Zappa ....

Day 9 My pick today is: Deep Purple 1 Machine Head 2 Deep Purple in Rock 3 Perfect Strangers Drummer Ian Paice Songs “Smoke on the Water”, ”Child in Time”, and “Perfect Strangers”.
My #9 pick is an American musician and songwriter who is the drummer for the progressive metal band Tool. He has also contributed to albums by artists such as Zaum, Green Jellö, Pigface, Skinny Puppy, Adrian Belew, Carole King, Collide, Meat Puppets, Lusk, and the Melvins. I'm talking about Danny Carey.He was ranked among the 100 greatest drummers of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, occupying the 26th position,[2] in addition to being frequently considered by other magazines.Carey's drumming influences include Neil Peart, Billy Cobham, Buddy Rich, Bill Bruford, Lenny White, Tony Williams, John Bonham, Barriemore Barlow and Tim Alexander.Danny Carey uses the wood tip version of his own signature model of drumstick made by Vic Firth.[14] He previously had endorsed a signature model with Trueline Drumsticks (now Trueline's Tribal Assault model).[15] Carey also uses Sonor drums, Paiste cymbals, Evans drumheads, Hammerax, and electronic devices such as Mandala, Korg and Roland. Paiste and Jeff Ocheltree (noted drumtech for Billy Cobham, John Bonham, Lenny White, etc) teamed up in the late 90s to develop an entire drumset made out of recycled cymbals. The final product was a melted down Paiste's Signature bronze custom cast cymbals.[16][17] Danny Carey used the kit during the Lateralus 2002 tour and during some drum clinics through the years. Only three versions of this kit were ever created. Carey and Carl Palmer each own one, while the third resides at Paiste's Switzerland headquarters. At the 2009 Winter NAMM Show Sonor released a Danny Carey signature snare drum, which is a 1 mm thick bronze 14x8" snare with laser etched talisman symbols and his signature engraved around the vent hole.[18] In 2016 Paiste released a Danny Carey signature ride cymbal called "Dry Heavy Ride - Monad" based on their discontinued model that Carey always used since becoming a Paiste artist. The cymbal has a purple color and sigils printed on. It is named "Monad" because the main print is an esoteric glyph from John Dee.[19] During 2019, builder Alan Van Kleef from VK Drums was contacted by Carey to create a drum kit and a snare drum. After much debate Alan developed the set called "Monad",[20] made by hand in Sheffield, England. Shortly after the completion of the Monad set, it was announced that a snare drum replica called "7empest" (after Tool's grammy award winning song) would be made available as part of a limited collection of 33 individual pieces. At the same time that the 7empest snare was launched, Alan was also developing the first complete 7empest drum set. Like the snare, the 7empest drums is a Monad replica in almost every way, except for the engravings.Carey's popularity among drummers and non-drummers alike stems from the diversity of his sound and dynamics through his years of learning jazz music, his technical ability, frequent use of odd time signatures, polyrhythms, and polymeters. He has stated in interviews that he effectively treats his feet as he does his hands: he practices rudiments (used for sticking techniques) and even snare drum solos with his feet to improve his double bass drumming, hi-hat control, and foot independence. In search of new techniques, Carey has studied tabla with Aloke Dutta, who can be heard playing on the live version of the song "Pushit" (from Salival). This is especially apparent on tracks such as "Disposition" (Lateralus) or "Right in Two" (10,000 Days), for which Carey has recorded the tabla parts himself in the studio. The tabla (and other percussive instruments) used in Tool's music are replicated live using the Mandala pads (in fact the pads are also used when recording in the studio, a notable example being the tabla solo of "Right in Two"). Albums- Undertow Lateralus and 10,000 Days Song- H.
Pick # 9 is Carl Palmer. Since I am using albums from ELP and Asia, I will choose 1 song from each group. The albums are Trilogy, The Best of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, and Alpha by Asia. The songs are Hoedown by ELP and Don't Cry by Asia.

@@christophercoles4401 Interesting choice Chris. Like the Toto guys, he could turn his hand to many styles. Some of the greatest music of the 60s in your list.
Number 9.
As Ian Gillan shouts at the end of The Mule on Made In Japan: "Ian Paice on the drums. YES".
The only remaining original member of Deep Purple but still an outstanding drummer. One of the all time great rock drummers, who was influenced by jazz drummers like Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa. You can still hear the 'swing' in his playing to this day. During Purple's down time, he played with Whitesnake, Gary Moore and Paice, Ashton & Lord. His "guest" appearances have been with bands/artists as diverse as Paul McCartney, The Velvet Underground and all points between. But it's obviously Purple who he's best known for. Made In Japan is of course, his high water mark - although that pounding intro to Fireball still sounds awesome, more than 50 years later. With Roger Glover, he is part of one of the most under rated rhythm sections going. They keep everything locked in tight, while the guitarist and keyboard player (whoever they happen to be at the time) can take their flights of fancy.
Great drummer great write-up HR
My favorite jazz influenced drummer in rock
Bill BRUFORD. Yes/ 7️⃣2️⃣ Close to the EDGE. King CRIMSON/8️⃣1️⃣ DISCIPLINE BRUFORD/7️⃣9️⃣. One of a KIND. Thank you Pete once again for your time 👍💯

#9 Alex Van Halen from Van Halen, fav albums are Debut, Fair Warning, and 1984.
Hi Damon. Awesome pick
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks Melanie. :)
My #9 Phil Collins - Genesis
Favorite Song - In the Air Tonight.
Mike Portnoy
I was a teenager when Dream Theater was breaking through. I played drums, and while I loved playing along to Rush albums, there was something about DT songs that had an added layer of fun to them. In my band, we played Pull Me Under and Erotomania. Then I made it my mission to learn Metropolis Pt 1. It was a blast playing those songs, and Mike really knew how to create some compelling parts. In addition to those songs I love air drumming along to:
6:00
Caught in a Web
The Mirror (the way he shifts the beats around Petrucci’s 3 note riff is amazing)
Scarred
And I just checked out Liquid Tension for the first time last year. So glad I did. Also, I got to see DT in the small Birch Hill club in NJ about 15 minutes away from where I grew up. That was pretty incredible.
LTExp is unbelievable
My 9 is Ian Paice-------track. Fireball, albums. 1. Machine Head 2. In Rock. 3 Burn.
9- Nicko McBrain
Maiden's driving force since 1983. What an incredible drummer recording and playing live since I heard Iron Maiden on legendary tours. Any album from “Piece of Mind” to “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son” is my favorite. And the intro to “Run to the Hills” is legendary.

22. Terry Bozzio - Zappa/UK/S. Vai - listed by Peter on day#18
#9 for me is Buddy Rich. Jazz/Big Band drummer Buddy was known for his really fast playing, but he was also an early showman, incorporating flashing tricks with his drumsticks. He played with Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, and more. Buddy is truly one of the Drummers-drummer, as you will find him listed as an early influencer of many of the rock drummers of the 1960’s.
Pick #9: Cozy Powell - Rainbow/ Whitesnake
Rainbow - "Rising" released on Polydor Records in '76.
Rainbow - "Long Live Rock and Roll" on Polydor in '78
Whitesnake - "Slide it in'" released on Liberty/Emi originally in '84.
The other drummer. I did Ian Paice yesterday. Mr. Powell has drummed on more than 66 LP Albums. An idol for many drummers, he is currently regarded as perhaps one of the most influential in the rock drumming genre.

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to all of you who sent me your best wishes yesterday, it meant a lot. The scan itself went well and I just now have to await the results. Thank you all again.
My choice today is one that has been rightly picked by a number of you here and also by Pete, who said all that really needed to be said about BRIAN DOWNEY. He was the glue that held Thin Lizzy together especially when things were getting particularly volatile and difficult within the band. He was very much the unsung hero, most of the attention being on those twin guitars (and Eric Bell in their early days) and of course one of the truly great writers, singers, bass players and frontmen in Phil. Brian's drumming within Lizzy spanned different disaplines and styles. My favourite albums for his drumming are Johnny The Fox, Bad Reputation and Black Rose, but he was uniformly excellent throughout their career. Fave performances, I can't split the title tracks of Bad Reputation and Black Rose.
Great pick and album choices, Jerry!
Great write-up Jerry. One of my favorites as well.
Hi Jerry. I'm glad things went ok yesterday for you. I've had plenty of them. there not a scary thing to have done. Fantastic pick and article.
Definitely a lot of shadows cast over him in this band.

Yeah man.
Unbelieveable stuff on Unleashed in the East.
Never gets the recognition he deserves.
The peak of priest for me too KB
Today's pick is Buddy Rich I don't know what albums to pick but I've seen so many videos which he has played on and there is no one like him..A giant drummer in the history pages of music..
#9 is out of the ordinary for me. I am not much of a blues guy, nor a Southern rock fan. However, when I hear the early Allman Brothers Band, the drumming stands out.
I realized there were two drummers. But one of the drummers had a crashing style that always gained my notice. I always envisioned this mate to be looking to demolish his kit. After doing some research, the particular drummer is (was) Butch Trucks.
Best examples of the crashing and smashing: IN MEMORY OF ELIZABETH REED; JESSICA; Title track to WIN, LOSE, OR DRAW.
#10 Stewart Copeland - The Police
#11 Mel Gaynor - Simple Minds. Favorite Mel Albums with SM: SPARKLE IN THE RAIN (Probably their heaviest); BIG MUSIC; ONCE UPON A TIME. Favorite drum performance: DON’T YOU (FORGET ABOUT ME).
#12 Barriemore Barlow - Jethro Tull
#13 Terrance Sullivan - Renaissance
#14 Pierre van der Linden - Focus. Favorite Drum Albums: MOVING WAVES; FOCUS 3; FOCUS 12. Favorite performance: HOCUS POCUS.
#15 Terry Bozzio - Missing Persons
#16 Simon Phillips
#17 Danny Gotlieb - Pat Metheny Group…I know he has worked with McLaughlin and others, but I am only familiar with his work with Pat. My favorite albums with Danny: AS FALLS WICHITA, SO FALLS WICHITA FALLS; WATERCOLORS; PAT METHENY GROUP. Favorite drum performance - JACO from PAT METHENY GROUP.
#18 Carl Palmer - ELP
#19 Keith Moon - The Who: This is tough. Moon, a degenerate in so many ways was also dynamic as a drummer. He was always noticeable!
Best drumming albums: QUADROPHENIA; LIVE AT LEEDS, and WHO’S NEXT. Best drumming performance: again, very very difficult, but will go with DON’T GET FOOLED AGAIN.
#20 Harold Brown - War: Best drumming albums is tough, they all incorporated Brown’s signature sound. I would say, in the classic era “WHY CAN’T WE BE FRIENDS stood out because of the reggae influences Harold was adding. That album includes a song that would be a top candidate for my War signature song - LOW RIDER. The Signature song for me - the title song from ALL DAY MUSIC. It is a piece where the little things he does really stand out, making their own kind of melody.
#21 P.J Wilson - Procol Harum
#22 Mick Woodmansey - Bowie and the Spiders from Mars
#23 Alex Van Halen
#24 Chester Thompson - Genesis
#25 Joe Morello - Dave Brubeck Quartet

#27 Don Brewer - Grand Funk Railroad
#28 Graeme Edge - The Moody Blues
#29 Mike Joyce - The Smiths

Hi Pete & everyone. Dave here. My pick today is JOHN BONHAM, drummer (and hellraiser) in Led Zeppelin. Could be versatile and intricate, but best known for his powerhouse drumming, and there's been no equal.

Today's pick is Neil Peart. While my favorite albums are the very early Rush records, the 3 I'll choose are 2112, Farewell To Kings and Hemispheres. Best cut is "2112". Peart was a special talent and in the conversation for the best Rock drummer of all-time. Phenomenal lyricist and percussionist, Neil Peart is a legend.

Michael Shrieve Playing along with Jose "Chepito" Areas and Michael Carabello in Santana, he was for a time part of an amazing percussion unit. Santana's Caravanserai was co-produced by him and he wrote or co-wrote 4 of its 10 tracks, so no surprise it's a bit jazzier than preceding albums.
9. Kozo Suganuma - All-time king of Japanese drumming, known musically for being the drum chair in Fragile. He also was a lifelong instructor, turning out many future pros, including Senri Kawaguchi. Album picks are Fragile - Zann, and his solo album Convergence. Track pick is Xenon, from Fragile
Great pick
Senri is incredible
Good morning (afternoon, evening or night), Pete. An outstanding SoT selection. Personal pick today? An English drummer with an interest in world music and jazz and who played with one of the better-known power trios of its day - the thunderous Peter Edward "Ginger" Baker. My oft-mentioned older brother was a tremendous fan of Eric Clapton during that time and brought home all the Cream albums for seemingly endless and repeated playings. So the first album I bought with Mr. Baker in the band was the eponymous 1969 debut and only studio album of Blind Faith. Not surprisingly, though, the favorite albums remain the Cream catalogue since they became part of my musical DNA. Fresh Cream, Wheels of Fire and Disraeli Gears and the albums for today. The song? Tough. But for sheer bombast, have to go with the Fresh Cream album closer of Toad demonstrating quite a bit of what Ginger brought to the front with his drumming. Thanks, Pete. Looking forward to your next selection.
@@johnmichaelwilliams6694 hi John. Superb pick and article. Baker is still on my list for later.

9 : Lenny White
Excellent pick with Tony right there he made my honorable mentions
Pick number 9 Pick Withers
Most know him as the drummer for dire straits
He's also a very good drummer session musician now
In demand still
1. Dire straits debut
2. Dire straits communique
3. Bob Dylan slow train coming
Yes the reason I chose the Bob Dylan one is because Mark knopfler who Bob invited to play on also brought Pick when asking for a recommended drummer from Mark so called him also along to play some drums.. it was done the same place as Communique down at muscle shoals Alabama produced by Barry Beckett. So both of them were produced and muscle shoals right there what's Mark hanging with the great muscle shoals
And it was hanging with Bob a bit realizing he's also a very good producer in his own right tapped him to produce his 1983 infidels album.
The two favorite Pick songs are from dire straits
His great playing on sultans of swing
And also once upon a Time in the West

Hi folks, hope we're all well, and ready for the weekend. My choice of drummer on day #22 is the man who used to sit behind the kit in a band who were, once upon a time, for a period of about 5 or 6 years, my answer to the question, what is your favourite band at the moment? Their popularity then nose-dived, but, in recent years, they're back in favour again, certainly with myself and Pete at least!!
SCOTT ROCKENFIELD: ex-QUEENSRYCHE
Like many of us, I first heard Scott tearing into his kit on the near-mythical Queen Of The Reich ep, and if it hadn't been for Geoff Tate's ear-splitting, dog-bothering opening scream, the drums might have been the first thing I noticed given the precise, powerful pummelling that accompanied that amazing riff, but if not then, it certainly wasn't long before Scitt's skill was plain for all to see...
So, 3 albums from Scott's time in the band coming up...
• Rage For Order (1986) - almost the "odd one out" of the early albums
• Operation : Mindcrime (1988) - a masterpiece from start to finish, musically and stylistically
• Condition Human (2015) - his Swansong, and the 2nd album of the band's resurrection following the arrival of Todd La Torre
As for a single track to highlight the drummer's qualities, I'm heading for a fourth album. Some of the 'Ryche's best songs start slowly then build to a crescendo, Rockenfield's drums increasing in potency as they do so - No Sanctuary and Another Rainy Night for instance, and I'm goingvti the Empire album and picking "Anybody Listening?"
Great pick, Iain!
Excellent choice and article, Iain. Fantastic album and song picks.
Rock on Sir Iain. Haven't heard much of them, just on the radio. Glad they made a comeback for you!

At day # 22, my pick goes to
9. ROGER TAYLOR, Queen
Roger Taylor and Brian May have been started together in the band “Smile”, with Tim Staffell (bass and lead vocals). After Staffell left the band and Freddie Mercury and John Deacon had joined in, they changed the band name to “Queen”.
Queen’s early work in the 70s was rough and fast hard rock, whilst also containing some prog elements. Roger’s drums were fast and thundering all over the place on songs like “Keep Yourself Alive”, “Great King Rat”, “Liar”, “Stone Cold Crazy”, “I’m In Love With My Car” and “Sheer Heart Attack”. Additional to his drum work, he provided high harmony vocals, and also sometimes sang lead on some of the several songs he had written on his own for the band. In the 80s, Roger wrote some of their most well-known hit songs like “Radio Ga Ga” and “A Kind Of Magic”, with the lead vocals left to Freddie
.
Roger has recorded several solo albums up from 1981 to the present, where he sang all the vocals and played several other instruments, besides the drums. He also has fronted his own band project while still having been with Queen from 1988-91, called “The Cross”, touring and releasing a few albums.
After Freddie Mercury had died and John Deacon had retired, Roger and Brian decided to carry on touring as “Queen +” with other singers (Paul Rodgers from 2005-2009, and Adam Lambert, up from 2012). Their decision to carry on after Freddie’s death is debated controversial in the Queen fan community.

Definitely one of our hard rock mainstays Melanie Happy Friday Here comes the weekend
@@melaniethurber5117 Terrific pick Melanie. One of rock music's most iconic drummers.
Hi Melanie, fantastic pick!
My #9 pick is an American musician and songwriter who is the drummer for the progressive metal band Tool. He has also contributed to albums by artists such as Zaum, Green Jellö, Pigface, Skinny Puppy, Adrian Belew, Carole King, Collide, Meat Puppets, Lusk, and the Melvins. I'm talking about Danny Carey.He was ranked among the 100 greatest drummers of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, occupying the 26th position,[2] in addition to being frequently considered by other magazines.Carey's drumming influences include Neil Peart, Billy Cobham, Buddy Rich, Bill Bruford, Lenny White, Tony Williams, John Bonham, Barriemore Barlow and Tim Alexander.Danny Carey uses the wood tip version of his own signature model of drumstick made by Vic Firth.[14] He previously had endorsed a signature model with Trueline Drumsticks (now Trueline's Tribal Assault model).[15] Carey also uses Sonor drums, Paiste cymbals, Evans drumheads, Hammerax, and electronic devices such as Mandala, Korg and Roland.
Paiste and Jeff Ocheltree (noted drumtech for Billy Cobham, John Bonham, Lenny White, etc) teamed up in the late 90s to develop an entire drumset made out of recycled cymbals. The final product was a melted down Paiste's Signature bronze custom cast cymbals.[16][17] Danny Carey used the kit during the Lateralus 2002 tour and during some drum clinics through the years.
Only three versions of this kit were ever created. Carey and Carl Palmer each own one, while the third resides at Paiste's Switzerland headquarters.
At the 2009 Winter NAMM Show Sonor released a Danny Carey signature snare drum, which is a 1 mm thick bronze 14x8" snare with laser etched talisman symbols and his signature engraved around the vent hole.[18]
In 2016 Paiste released a Danny Carey signature ride cymbal called "Dry Heavy Ride - Monad" based on their discontinued model that Carey always used since becoming a Paiste artist. The cymbal has a purple color and sigils printed on. It is named "Monad" because the main print is an esoteric glyph from John Dee.[19]
During 2019, builder Alan Van Kleef from VK Drums was contacted by Carey to create a drum kit and a snare drum. After much debate Alan developed the set called "Monad",[20] made by hand in Sheffield, England. Shortly after the completion of the Monad set, it was announced that a snare drum replica called "7empest" (after Tool's grammy award winning song) would be made available as part of a limited collection of 33 individual pieces. At the same time that the 7empest snare was launched, Alan was also developing the first complete 7empest drum set. Like the snare, the 7empest drums is a Monad replica in almost every way, except for the engravings.Carey's popularity among drummers and non-drummers alike stems from the diversity of his sound and dynamics through his years of learning jazz music, his technical ability, frequent use of odd time signatures, polyrhythms, and polymeters. He has stated in interviews that he effectively treats his feet as he does his hands: he practices rudiments (used for sticking techniques) and even snare drum solos with his feet to improve his double bass drumming, hi-hat control, and foot independence.
In search of new techniques, Carey has studied tabla with Aloke Dutta, who can be heard playing on the live version of the song "Pushit" (from Salival). This is especially apparent on tracks such as "Disposition" (Lateralus) or "Right in Two" (10,000 Days), for which Carey has recorded the tabla parts himself in the studio. The tabla (and other percussive instruments) used in Tool's music are replicated live using the Mandala pads (in fact the pads are also used when recording in the studio, a notable example being the tabla solo of "Right in Two").
Albums- Undertow Lateralus and 10,000 Days
