Excellent! I have been waiting for this steve white is a friend of mine and I have taken drum lessons with him He’s a great drummer and a drum history buff
It's only out of fairness to all the (other)great drummers, whose music isn't played 50,000 times a day on radio stations across the world. Everyone knows Bonzo is more legendary and influential than RIngo or Ginger. Can't believe they completely left out Gadd, Devito, Mitchell, AVH and only mentioned Bruford, Phil Collins, Steve Smith and Copeland briefly. Whatevs....it would take 6 hours to give the top 100 their proper credit.
I'm 65, and heard all this music AS it hit the airwaves, when it was new. Herb Alpert was the bomb....and the drumming was key. Little did I know, that drummer was on almost every other hit I was listening to back then. Thank you for post this video, and thank you to the great Hal Blaine. Genius.
@@MoreMusicShows Thank you once again! I have watched and is awesome! Incredible work you put together and all the great Drummers you had as guests. It was a pleasure to watch it. Thank you!
Joe Morello, Simon Phillips, Carl Palmer, etc. The list could go on of influential drummers. Really enjoyed this video as it really showed a wide range of drumming greats. Opened my eyes to very good drummer musicians that I was not aware of. Many thanks.
So we talk about drums and no one mentions people like Art Blakey, Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, Earl Palmer, Clyde Stubblefield, James Gadson, Benny Benjamin, Roy Haynes, Jimmy Cobb, Chick Webb etc.?Each of the drummers in this documentary wouldn't have been able to play a single note without the artistic contributions of the drummers mentioned above!! Give credits to the ones who really deserve it!!
I quite enjoyed the video. If I was making this video I would have probably mentioned Rick Allen from Def Leppard. It would’ve been great to touch on his half electronic and half traditional kits with the extra triggers and things that he uses with his feet after losing his arm. Otherwise great video. Keep up the great work. Hello from Lindsay Ontario Canada.
Great documentary. I’d love this to be a whole series and really dive into the details. Then you wouldn’t just flash Bonham and Rich in the final few seconds and not mention them at all.
I was one of the punk drummers Dave Lombardo met in the 80s. I got to hang out with him a few times in 84/85. Super nice guy. If you listen to our album (Final Conflict "Ashes to Ashes") you will hear me stealing Dave's licks and vice versa.
Beautiful stories from which you learn a lot. I humbly comment that there are numerous drummers in other parts of the world worth knowing. In Argentina I recommend Pomo Lorenzo, Jota Morelli, Daniel Wirtz, Daniel Colombres, Jorge Araujo, Federico Gil Solá, Martín Carrizo, among many others. From Brazil Kiko Freitas, Airto Moreira, João Barone, Carlos Bala, Téo Lima, among others.
No history of Drumming would be complete without mentioning contributions of Drummers like Benny Benjamin, Ureal Jones and Pistol Allen from Motown's Funk Brothers! James Brown's awesome drummers Cylde Stubblefield and John Jabo Starks! . Al Jackson Jr. , Narada Michael Walden, James "Diamond" Williams from The Ohio Players! So many others are great drummers but it would take all day! Thanks for " giving the Drummers Some"!
Is it me or when Steve Smith mentions himself playing a double bass kit and they show the picture that picture looks like it's Aynsley Dunbar and not Steve. 🤔
@@MoreMusicShows - Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense. Explains why you didn't include Mitch Mitchell. You don't want Janie Hendrix coming after you.
Wow , just saw the Docu and Not One mention of the master … Neil Peart ;( although , every drummer unique to their taste and style , Neil would put a dozen drummers in his pocket .. my lessons from Neil Peart over so Many Rush shows was being glued to Neil showing rush fans “The Art of playing the drums” with such passion and finesse every single night ;) Neil Peart always in my heart ❤️
Thank you! I watched 10 minutes of this garbage on Netflix then turned off. Please who is actually putting together YOUR fucking content? Wise up Netflix, do not throw out content about ART unless you know what that is……
20 best drummers is a bummer. Because thers at least 50 best 5 drummers in the world!! Mitch Mitchell, Dave Weckl, Elvin Jones, Stewart Copeland, Steve Gadd, Phil Rudd, Nicko Mcbrain, Terry Williams, Charlie Watts... Man...it goes on and on. The list is long.
Cindy Blackman is such a fantastic drummer, I wonder how sick she is of being mentioned as a great woman drummer alongside clips of her playing 'Are You Gonna Go My Way', which had Lenny Kravitz playing drums on the record. They think because she is in the video and was touring with him that she's on the track? Why not play something on which she is actually playing? Even the great Rob Hirst did this on the ABC, talking about drummers, mentioned her and then played that track. I like Kravitz's playing on that record, but they can't tell the difference? She played with Mike Stern, Santana, Gary Bartz, Vernon Reid...
There are so many great drummers including me and its impossible to include them all in one documentary. Therefore, its ridiculous to complain about any drummers who aren't mentioned in this video. Instead, if anyone loves drums they should give praise to this video which is very interesting and informative and is one of the best drum documentaries that has ever been made. Life is short so appreciate it for what its worth. Btw, I can't believe how Ginger Baker has aged.
Acouple of corrections... Photo @26:56 is of Ansley Dunbar (not Steve Smith!) Billy Cobham should of been credited with his triple bass, triple snare drum setup.
I Grew Up With All These Singers- Now I Have A 24 Yr Old Grandson - Started. Drums - At 12 Yrs Old - Now Guitar - In His Blood. - Every Spare Minute.

Does Not Know I Am Writing This- He Needs Direction - Anyone 🇺🇸. ? Thank You
Dave grohl??? Cmon man. He's a great rock drummer but certainly not a top 20 drummer of all time! I think he himself would even say he's doesn't belong on that list.
lets take a moment of silence in remembrance of: John “Stumpy” Pepys /died in a bizarre gardening accident, that the authorities said was “best left unsolved.”/
It does not really matter. It is a list with fine drummers. I wondered how Bill Bruford or Vinnie Colaiuta were not included. Or Stewart Copeland. Or Bernard Purdie: However. It is fun to make lists and they will be made forever, but it is not fun to be bitter about them IMO. But you are right, especially when it seems the list was compiled by drummers: they usually allways mention Gadd and Colaiuta as the drummers that drummers like themselves.
Great presentation but you missed so many great drummers.Tony W, Max R, Elvin J,Vinnie C,, Alex A, , Chester, T, Jabo S, Bernard P, Steve G, Sly D, Jim K, and the list goes on.......
incredible They forgot the best and most innovative 50's r'n'r drummer, Cricket Jerry Allison. He literally paved the way as far as r'n'r drumming is concerned. Nearly every UK drummer owe Jerry a lot, they didn't know how to play r'n'r drums until he arrived there with the great Buddy Holly in '58..paradiddles, triplets, heavy toms use, cardbox drums, knees slapping..
a bit more emphasis on ian paice wouldn't have hurt, since he too was responsible for the transition from rock to metal in the earliest stages of that. and also one drummer on two important rock records is missing in this documentary: brainbox - dark rose (1969) focus - hocus pocus (1971)
32 minutes in, they say that drum machines aren't replacing drummers-listen to pop radio, not a real drummer in sight, just programmed trap beat after programmed trap beat.
I liked the video don't get me wrong and checked out the full version as well, but in the whole 4 hours there were like 5-6 black guys and the drums ARE a black instrument, which pretty much came out of jazz. So, everything which is shown here couldn't be possible without a lineage of black drummers such as Babby Dodds, Papa Jo Jones, Philly Joe, Max, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones, Tony Williams and so many others which somehow get overlooked in...this kind of who-is-the-GOAT videos but in my opinion they represent much better The Art of Drumming than most (if not all) of the drummers mentioned in the video. They are great craftsman I agree and some of them are artists as well, but the Art of Drumming is rooted in jazz. Again, this is just my opinion.
This was a decent documentary. HOWEVER...to leave out a couple of Drummers, (mind you)...not even mention their names is just absolutely criminal. And...they are Gary Chester and Vinnie Colaiuta and lest we forget the one and only Tony Williams. This is NOT a complete documentary IF you don’t include these legends as well. Nuff said...
@@MoreMusicShows I appreciate Lang and his legacy . Was not trying to imply featured artists were sub par. I would compare him to a machine. Def deserves a place of high recognition in my mind.
As a drummer myself I appreciate the effort here with this documentary. But it is somewhat weak. Some of the greatest drummers of all time get little mention or no mention at all and others not even in the top 100 get mentioned and interviewed. Like I said a little weak.. I did enjoy it though. Thanks for the effort.
Watched the film last night all great drummer's for sure especially ginger, buddy,moon, Ian Bonham but not to mention Neil was a joke it's like talking about hockey not mentioning the Montreal Canadiens it shouldn't happen.!!!!!!
I enjoyed the doc, but one could've replaced any of the drummers featured in this with atleast 500 other drummers and it would've been just as interesting if not more, probably more in fact.
I always loved Russ Kunkel’s playing and demeanor.
Excellent! I have been waiting for this steve white is a friend of mine and I have taken drum lessons with him
