Ringo was the first to leave the Beatles and Keith Moon wanted the gig, but John and Paul immediately realized they needed Ringo back. Ringo is a song drummer. He says when he listens to other songs he doesn't hear the drum part he just hears the song.
@@brandon7233Whoa, Neil was putting out unrivaled drumwork with Rush straight through the 90s & 2000s. There's a lot of great power metal & thrash metal drummers too, blast beats and machine gun breakdowns are great but there's other ways to be great than be the fastest alive.
I was standing behind Lars at a Metallica concert in Frankfurt 1:46 Germany where they had the stage in the middle of the venue and you could walk all around the stage, and they were doing the build up for the solo in “One.” Lars was actually standing up using the double bass drum pedals. I was about 6 feet away from him. It was pretty impressive to see.
Ringo played precisely what the track required. There was little need for a "look at me" moment because the track was enhanced and strongly supported by his cohesiveness.
To drum with those killer bands you have to be a force of nature. All the ons mentioned are virtually superhuman. Moon still raises eyebrows being such a complete nut and translating it into his playing. Cool interview
Because the online community are morons. I saw Metallica in August and Lars was 6 feet away from me, he plays with more energy than most drummers I’ve seen
John Bonham. Buddy Rich. Art Blakey. Neal Peart. Danny Carrey. Carter Bauford. Matt Cameron. Stewart Copeland. Jeff Porcaro. In no particular order. Some of my faves🤘. "Greatest of all time" is a hard one to place.
@@kristopherryanwatson Yep. He is great too. I could probably add more if I sat and thought about it harder lol. Dennis Chambers another one. They just keep popping in there hehe.
People getting mad at the lack of Neil Peart mention but you have to understand in order to listen to his drumming you have to listen to Rush songs & most people don't want to do that 😅
Ringo was definetely the most inventive rock drummer that ever lived. If you want to see how good he was when he could still listen their own music before the screaming girls, watch him at the Washington Coliseum show in 64 and hear him at the star club in december of 62, in Hamburg
Roger Taylor from Queen and Rick Allen from Def Leppard are up there for me. Rick if only because he learned to adapt to his disability and gave Def Leppard a unique sound.
Absolutely respect that answer of Ringo. One of the most creative drummers of all time.
During a primitive era.
@@en2456a primitive era that produced far better music than the modern era
@@jeremykeelermusic3153 That's what makes it more impressive. The primitive equipment breeded higher creativity and innovation.

Still trending 60 years later.
Tré cool is epic. Epic respect for his answer and the shout out to Meg 🙏
Tré Cool: I have a table.
Dave Danger: I have a folding barstool.
James Hetfield: I am the table
@@gpguitar6076 I was hoping someone would say that. haha.
Ringo was the first to leave the Beatles and Keith Moon wanted the gig, but John and Paul immediately realized they needed Ringo back. Ringo is a song drummer. He says when he listens to other songs he doesn't hear the drum part he just hears the song.
Keith Moon couldn't do Ringo's job if his life depended on it.
@@redrick8900 That goes the same for Ringo doing Moon's job... They are simply different kind of drummers... that's all
"he just plays the song" is the exact same thing I'd say for Tré, he knows he's there for the song and the band, he's not there for himself.
tre is always perfect when playing. just an amazing machine.
No bs, he's on MY mt Rushmore of great drummers.
@@djjazzyjeff1232who else you got?
The meg white shoutout is based
She wasn't the most technical but she knew exactly how to bang those drums when playing with Jack. Their chemistry is wild
Played to fit the song. Jack White hasn’t made an album that touches the White Stripes material without her.
@@Walrus286 100%!
@Walrus286 As soon as Jack started shredding he lost the plot
@alexgrantham4747 name a song where Jack "shreds" and we'll tell you exactly how it isn't shredding 😊
How do you not mention Neil Peart?
Because he's not one of his favorites?
@@duaneshank6788Neil Peart was the best.
I have no idea ….
He’s too progressive.
Too good to be compared with the rest
Carter Beauford and Neil Peart are definitely in the conversation.
gavin harrison, danny carey,Simon Philips,tony Williams, john bonham
Matt greiner or Matt Garstka, drummers from 40 years ago can not even touch modern metalcore drummers, expand your horizons
Lmao@@brandon7233
I found the lack of Neil disturbing.

Tre is a brilliant drummer
Pfft he's a basic punk drummer
@@dcmastermindfirst9418you definitely don't know music / drums
Billy Cobham, Tony Williams, Neil, Phil Collins, Chester Thompson, Bill Bruford,

Fascinating how seldom Alex Van Halen is mentioned
Eddie was just so huge. He overshadowed everything. Alex is a monster drummer.
Exactly. He’s just Eddie’s brother.
Tre Cool mentioned Al in his Rock Hall of Fame speech as one of his inspirations. So he’s a fan.
@@johnwelsh2769 and if he didnt overshadow it adding david lee roth to the mix didnt help, but alex and michael anthony more than held their own
Alex wasn’t that good. He was just you run of the mill rock drummer. Far from exceptional
Ringo could play very specific stuff that "showier" drummers might struggle with
Finally some Lars love! Howard, BJA, and Tre all gave great insight.
Tré Cool is definitely one of the greatest drummers of all time
Haha, no tf he isnt
@@andrewsullivan3180 Haha, yes tf he is
@@Goatchild90Not a chance 😂
Not even close, not even top 50.
@@dani_i8942 TC is one of the greats. Seethe someone else
Tré's voice could do a perfect voice in the Simpson xD
Stewart Copeland is a fantastic drummer
Tré cool that he mentioned Meg.
Ringo played precisely what the track required. There was little need for a "look at me" moment because the track was enhanced and strongly supported by his cohesiveness.
I loved Ringo’s drumming in Come Together, it’s very innovative for th time
Jose Pasillas from Incubus is one of my all time favorite drummers. Huge inspiration from Jose.
Vastly underrated.
Stephen Morris - Joy DIvision / New Order
Jimmy Chamberlin - Smashing Pumpkins
That's a very good point. Listen to Mitch Mitchell on "Are You Experienced" and how his drumming serves those songs perfectly.
Love this! Talking about Lars and sticking up for him!
Lars is a musical genius ngl, and has almost come up with some of the best drum parts of all time
To drum with those killer bands you have to be a force of nature. All the ons mentioned are virtually superhuman. Moon still raises eyebrows being such a complete nut and translating it into his playing. Cool interview
Neil Peart
Its a joke leavin Neil Out by any.mean
Any top drummer list that does not include Neil Peart is just ignorance.
Love it. Some many laughs in this one. And Lars is awesome.
Lars is the Ringo of Metal. And I mean that as an absolute compliment.
Ringo is an amazing drummer. Lars actually isn't a good drummer mainly because he clearly doesn't practice.
@@billysuter nonsense. Lars is a very good drummer.
No, he absolutely isn't. Ringo was incredibly creative, Lars isn't.
@@pandadoublexlLars is very important as a producer and composer. Different way to contribute to the band...
@@faustomadebr Neither of those things would make him the Ringo of metal.
I love Ringo and Meg White too. Oh, and Lars
All of my favourite drummers serve the song. Lars does this. He also cowrites all of the songs, so there’s that.
Carter Beauford need to be on these lists
He's a stock conservatory drummer.
Why not add an older generation jazz drummer to this list instead? It is his list after all, so all good.
Pau from The Warning,listen to Dust to Dust,just brilliant.
It's Pau's world now, we are just listening to her in it! She IS the future. TWA.
Neil Peart, Danny Carey, Chris Adler, Joey Jordison, John Bonham
I knew he was gonna say Ringo!
Ringo played the part as it was meant. Beatles songs are only Beatles songs when he is playing on them.
Only real musicians compliment Lars, tells you a lot about the online criticism he gets 😂
Because the online community are morons. I saw Metallica in August and Lars was 6 feet away from me, he plays with more energy than most drummers I’ve seen
They also probably have to interact with him sometimes personally...
@@jd0879100% True.
@@jd0879 I don't think so!
No.
Neil Peart is forever the greatest drummer and lyricist to have graced the planet…rest easy, legend. 🙏🏻♥️
Stewart Copeland

@@Danny-id3fe Fantastic drummer, he deserves to be mentioned more.
@@Dave_Ger I know he does and I’m 19

Ringo was the drummer in the Beatles. That beats everything when it’s all said and done.
Would love to hear the story of when Tré first met Ringo!
It’s not a competition.
It’s just music.
Neil Peart! 🥁 Come on people!
Tre is my favorite drummer
Alex Pelletier, Carter Beauford and The Rev are my three favorites
Neil Peart. Had everything. Danny Carey second with his creativity
Agree
Embarrassing choice. Clyde Stubblefield and it’s not close!
@@HonestSoulGuyThey're both great! 😃
@@HonestSoulGuy huh?
My vote too.
Finally someone say something positive about lars.
George Hurley…playing jazz stylie in the Minutemen and fIREHOSE. Pure fast tight hihat sickness
Didn’t suspect anyone would mention Hurley in this post. Absolutely phenomenal and underrated.
100% agree. if you don't and you are a musician, please ask your most respected drummer friend the same question and see what he/she says.
Meg White, hell yes!
The Professor
There is OnLy one Professor on the Drum Kit
John Bonham. Buddy Rich. Art Blakey. Neal Peart. Danny Carrey. Carter Bauford. Matt Cameron. Stewart Copeland. Jeff Porcaro. In no particular order. Some of my faves🤘. "Greatest of all time" is a hard one to place.

@@kristopherryanwatson Yep. He is great too. I could probably add more if I sat and thought about it harder lol. Dennis Chambers another one. They just keep popping in there hehe.
Joey jordison, alex van halen, stewart copeland, jimmy chamberlain, shannon larkin,...
Ringo was actually a really, really good drummer. Listen carefully to all his beats and you'll know.
Wow i totally agree with Billie talking about Lars
No question it’s Neil Peart. And not even close
Danny Carey is the greatest drummer living today...
Outside of Jazz the Rev from avenged sevenfold is my GOAT. Unbelievably athletic, technically, and creative and he made it look easy.
Peart
Rush drummer for me.Biased Canadian here eh LOL.
NEIL = GOD
People getting mad at the lack of Neil Peart mention but you have to understand in order to listen to his drumming you have to listen to Rush songs & most people don't want to do that 😅
"Wild" Mick Brown!
I'm going to say Josh Freese, He's contributed to over 400 different albums.
Neil Peart RIP Professor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought he might give a mention to John Wright from NoMeansNo, as he has done in the past.
Keith Moon, Meg White, Mo Tucker
Neil Peart.
Absolutely. The best
Bonham.
@@winstonsyme5899Peart and Bonham 👍❤
The Professor Neil Peart
Bill Bruford

Neil Peart
You know... everyone has their favorites. Ringo is a great choice. And I don't know why everyone gets so upset by the Meg White shoutout either.

Then watch John Bonham aged 20 at the Royal Albert Hall.
Mike Dirnt nails it: "extremely musical"
Patrick Carney
The Beatles forever!
Lars being referred to as a muppet is very accurate
Meg White??!?!?? OH YES, TRÉ, GOOD ANSWER, REALLY GOOD ANSWER!! GREAT
Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy and Mike Mangini!!
Neil Peart, Keith Moon and John Bonham are the correct answers.
There are others of course that should be in the conversation.
How about Dennis Chambers? He's pretty excellent.
And i think guitarists definitely forget they are playing a song.
Does Billie ever age?
Clearly not! 😂
He caused the drought at the fountain of youth
Surprisingly no considering how badly he suffers from TDS.
no
@@dani_i8942lolz
Ringo is a fair answer. Solid drummer.
Keith Moon
The answer is Neil Peart tho.
Vinnie C, Terry Bozzio , Stanton Moore...they know the drums.
Robert Sweet of Stryper
Bonzo! John Bonham was a pioneer.
Ringo, Charlie Watts, Hal Blaine
Gavin Harrison.
Billie Joe looks and sounds 20 years younger than he actually is.
Roger Taylor from Queen and Rick Allen from Def Leppard are up there for me. Rick if only because he learned to adapt to his disability and gave Def Leppard a unique sound.
The reason why Tre loves Ringo is why I love Tre.
Ginger is for sure the G.O.A.T
Big ups for saying Meg White. Yes.
John and Neil are top 2
Danny Carey rules them all
Neil Peart. nuff said....
Jordy Samolesky from Propagandhi
Most drummers pick Ringo
dont forget Copeland and Neil Peart
I have to add Stewart Copeland in there!
Rings played drums backwards. He was gifted
Hi Mackenziewilber good morning thanks for your lovely words, where are you from?
Neil Peart and Danny Carey are my favorite drummers.
