And Elvin.

I'd take Bruford and Ginger Baker over half the entries on that list. At least they got Max Roach. But where the hell is Mongo Santamaria on that list? Are congas no longer drums?

And Billy Cobham, Michael Shrieve, and so many more.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

Stewart Copeland?

"Invisible Touch" alone should preclude Phil Collins from any best of anything list.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

Ha ha ha. I was at a dinner at mumblemumble good downtown NYC restaurant, and they pummeled us with Phil C., Billy Joel, and our own Levi D.'s favorite, Journey.

Yes. Phil Collins is the source of much emotional distress.

But then look what happened to Peter Gabriel, too. Many trains, many wrecks.

Horrid list.

Bernard Purdie explains the shuffle.
Shuffle.
His intro on Memphis Soul Stew with the great King Curtis band is one of my favorite drum solos of all time, all wrapped up within a few measures.

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

Ringo, and Omar Hakim, are missing from the list.

 

[BJ]

Jack DeJohnette?

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

Yes.

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

Anybody with four way independence.

Trying to name the twenty "best" drummers seems destined to fail. So many great ones.

It might be easier to name your current favorites still playing.

Personally Stanton Moore with Galactic is mine I think.

That's a truly cruel thing to do to innocent diners. You have my sympathy.
