Lang has amazing independence, but can't compose a comprehensive solo the way Buddy did. Donati can, and he is truly amazing. He might be Buddy's equal, but they have different strengths (and Donati was a damn beast in his day). These lists are almost always a joke. I mean, Tommy Lee? Eric Carr?!

All these drummers were good with Neil Pert was great, but none could match Buddy’s hand speed and accuracy. You never hear him hit a rim unless he meant to. He didn’t have all the fancy equipment, like Neil, but did it all with standard drums. And he used to use those skinny cymbal stands that telescoped up. Buddy also claimed he never practiced, though I know he had to rehearse with the bands. Buddy never had formal training, but did start in Vaudeville at 4 years old.

Buddy Rich is a solid #1 pick. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a concert in the early 80-s. He was as good as he ever was even when he was older. I would put Neil Peart at #2. He's the best rock drummer ever, a true technician of the art.
I was with you on Buddy Rich (Since the uploader didn't specify "Rock" drummers, but...While I hold the deepest respect for Neil, even to the point of learning the entire YYZ drum solo from "Exit Stage Left" (It took months) I was pretty bummed when he played at least 80% of that exact same solo on the "Power Windows" tour. For any drummers anywhere near my age there's essentially 2 "schools of drumming" for rock. Neil-Technical excellence and Bonham-Heavy hitting with subtle technical prowess. I've always liked Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, John Bonham, Ainsley Dunbarr, Ian Paice and much later was impressed by Ken Mary ( th-cam.com/video/qWf4J9kkVmI/w-d-xo.html )
After playing for ten years I still can't play a lot of Led Zeppelin beats right. Oh, I thought I had them but after some real close listening I was off. That man was on a different level.
This is a Gem... Thanks for the upload...🤟🤟🤟 My first Rock band that took me to another level back in the 70's... Led Zeppelin forever... R.I.P John Bonham best power drummer ever...
Wow! Buddy Rich plays stuff with one hand faster than I could with 10 hands! I bet if you slowed it down like 10x it would be spot on rhythm, too. Crazy!
A few of those drum sets were insane! Too many cymbals & to many drums. Buddy riches drum set was All A drummer needs. Buddy was great. And I don't know much about bands or drummers.
Its about playing MUSICALLY.... sound effects are def a PART of that, but thats what its about. Theres 2 types of player. "Drummers" who can play "drums"..... & MUSICIANS who PLAY DRUMS. There is a subtle, yet HUGE difference there.
Had the pleasure of seeing Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson in concert at Berkley in Boston in the early 80's. They did a drum battle at the end and it was SPECTACULAR!
i think danny carrey shouldve def made the list somewhere imo. he and neil peart both had such technical drum parts, cool time signatures, and original styles. danny was voted the most rudimental drummer like. more than one year i believe.
i saw the first drummer, paused the clip and was like: really? Phil Collins? he is really not a bad drummer, but i was getting doubts about the clip. Then read your comment and thought: Danny Carey is not in it? stopped watcing.
On a more serious note, there's Buddy Rich, then there's everybody else. Buddy was the best snare and hi-hat man in the business, hands down. (I always liked his left-handed upstrokes on the underside of the hi-hat. Very creative and original). Also, whether it be Slingerlands or Ludwigs, he only ever played with a single kick drum set. 😄👍🇺🇸
Keith Moon played some horrible drum solo's, they were all over the place! Ian Paice of course, but Keith Moon please he played his drum solos like a train wreck...
Cant believe Carl Palmer was not mentioned, he has same style or technique as Buddy Rich. Carl uses the art and science of stick mobility beyond wrist motion. I have seen him have the drum stick move on its own rhythm, quite amazing.
John Bonham, Neil Peart, buddy rich are the best drummer’s that have ever lived because of their diversity and the different things they could play... nobody was better at creating different riffs on the drums than John bonham!
You might be forgetting one who should be in the top 5 Barriemore Barlow from Jethro Tull, John Bonham say´d he was the best drummer England had produced
I fully agree with you regarding John Bonham but Buddy Rich ? Learn a bit about drumming and you'll see Buddy was a show off, and useless. What he had was a superb orchestra/band that made Buddy better than he really was. MAN, BUDDY WAS BORING !!!!
@@stacymatthews57789🎼 Wow amazing, he was a very opinionated musician and was hard for him to compliment many. I once saw him on a old TV show and he said he thought Chet Atkins & Glen Campbell were both terrible musicians!! You gotta have a lot of nerve to say that about the two of them who were great talents....many said he was not a happy guy and extremely hard and critical to work with.
Agree, #1 is without a doubt #1, no bells and whistles or need for flipping upside down. Wondering where a couple more are though,bc Dave Grohl is amazing.
You don't have to be an acrobatic drummer to play good music. I've seen small drum sets, a bass, a snare, three toms, a high hat, a crash n ride cymbal that behind a good drummer sound phenomenal. It's not the gun, or how many guns you have, it's the gunner!! 😳
all great drummers everywhere...but Buddy Rich was an Icon ..I took lessons from a Buddy Rich drum book ..my drum teacher was a fan of Buddy Rich so I learned everything Buddy Rich ...it was an still is incredible...I live to play the drums...
buddy rich is ok but he's seriously overrated in comparison to his contemporaries like Elvin Jones and Tony Williams. tbh it's mostly due to the fact that he's more popular cause he's white
Imo Buddy was the best. I was lucky enough to see him live close up when I was about 20. Carl Palmer is also missing here and was fantastic in his early 20's
@@Dakhaos-ou812 depending on what your preference is my good friend Buddy Miles who played with the Electric Flag,Wilson Pickett,a bunch of studio fill in then Jimi Hendrix to Carlos Santana the voice of the California Raisins Stevie Rays band Double Trouble and on and on Player of machine gun on Band of Gypsy's Power drummer when we go to a club the heads on the drums have to be replaced when he's done of every superstar band and person he had ever seen Ginger Baker he said hands down was the best land any list that doesn t have Buddy in the top few is a farce New years eve 1969 the Fillmore East Hindrix says were gonna play you a little blues now and he Buddy Miles and Billy Cox break into 9 minutes of what may very well be the greatest live rock/blues recording ever made
When I saw Eric Carr, it brought back the memories of seeing KISS in concert at the Joe Louis Arena during The Creatures of The Night Tour. He was a great drummer! I thought Peter Criss was on this list as well, but I guess quite a few people felt that Eric was the better of the KISS drummers. But Buddy Rich played....BEAT THE HELL of those drums!!! I really enjoyed that sound!!!
@@billdrummer1197 HAPPY NEW YEARS, Bill! The only way I can answer your question is like this. People like who and what they like! What the rest of the people on this planet does, doesn't matter all that much to the personal experiences that each of us goes through on our respective journey of life! What I liked during my 20s, back in the 1980s, is far different than some of what I like at 61 years of age now! I'm sure that you have evolved a little bit as well. It would be a waste of time and energy to get uptight about your comment simply because we don't see things the same way! If the world is coming to an end, believe me when I say this, for every living thing, the end will come soon enough! It happened to me in August of 2010 during Brain Surgery and again in 2011 February from Congestive Heart Failure the Friday before the Super Bowl! I was in ICU for almost 3 months! By The Grace of God, I am still alive! So, we just disagree, Dude! ✌️
Definitely with his feet he reminds me of Dave Lombardo of Slayer. I saw him with Black Oak Arkansas in the early seventies and I still remember him doing a drum solo with his feet😮😊
Primeiro Bud Rich segundo John Bonham, existe bateria antes de Bonham e depois de Bonham, ele era um gênio com os três toques, ele revolucionou a bateria
Buddy Rich was one of Neil Peart's heroes. To quote an interview with him, "He said Buddy Rich was, ‘the greatest drummer ever to have drawn breath.’ ... It's not ‘fan talk,’ because I never really was a Buddy Rich ‘fan.’" It's the second part of the quote that is interesting. :D
@@jamiejostaten4371 you see what happened was god gave him a big shlong but took away from other places like his talent to play drums !! sometimes you can't have everything in life there are things in life you just can't buy with money no matter how much you have !!
This is all about speed. There are much better drummers who should be in this list. You cannot mix and compare metal drummers with jazz or blues or prog rock drummers. 😎 I dont think tommy lee and eric carr in the top 10. But, It would be great if the drummers Porcaro and Williams of Toto, Ian P, of DP, Steve C of The Police, and the other Mike of DT are also in the list.
Best thrash metal drummers for me were Dave Lombardo and Pete Sandoval, both monsters of speed and power and thousands of beats per minute. But yeah, although snare-focused, Buddy Rich had a sheer velocity which was off the scale. That last clip renders everything before it pretty much irrelevant.
Amazing thing about Phil is that he wasn't just one of the most talented drummers, he was a great singer and was an instrumental genius. Glad he and Neil made the list. I respect every drummer, I don't believe one is better than the other.
"World's Best" will always be subjective. I don't care how fast you can play in a demonstration. What I care is how your drumming goes with the rest of the song.
Right. This is everyone's opinion thats it. Theirs no absolute on who is the world's best drummers. We could never be certain. But if your going technique and skill, a list without Mike Mangini would be wrong. My opinion
I’m a 71 year old Vietnam Veteran and the 60s & 70s produced the best bands ever. I will go to my grave believing John Bonham was the most talented drummer .... period ☮️
You all can have your list of greats and theres no such thing as the best or top ten best sorry people take your favorite and go in the corner and rub one off cuz it's how that particular drummer or musician makes one feel.
True then my super hippy boss . Wow 3 diff jazz drummers . Me useless .but i was gonna see zepplin. Lead ballon had the cash had the time fargo . And booze . Phil c. And chester t.

@@paul.etedder2439 Rich and Peart (1 and 2) obviously they set the bar, and also very nice to see Mike and John up next where they belong, IMO. More in line with my taste than the "typical best drummer" list. The earlier choices missed me a little, but I am older guy and 4 out of 4 isn't bad at all in my book. Thanks.
They're missing Ginger Baker, who, as a Jazz rhythm/blues drummer pioneered the double base drum and his unique style . ...Bonham emulated this style, and Peart was really a different drummer altogether.
Missed one. Louie Bellson was a phenomenal drummer and pioneer of double bass drums. I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1983 at Whitewater, Wisconsin D & B International and he gave me his sticks.
Loved Buddy Rich and Gene Krupa but let's not forget about people like Joe Morrello who was drummer for Dave Brubeck playing the really odd time signatures too!
Neil Peart,Buddy Rich, John Bonham! Best drummers EVER! I’ve seen Rush over 100 times. 100 drum solos. Neil will forever be my #1. I Love Rush. Rip Neil thanks for a lifetime of memories 🙏
To each is own, Neil Peart is my #1. Buddy Rich was Neil’s #1. That’s why Buddy Rich is my #2. I’ve seen Rush over 100 times, I’m a little bias. And a little obsessed with Rush!
Ok your right Buddy Rich is the greatest drummer in the world and nobody can disagree! Do you feel better now? Neil Peart is the greatest drummer and Buddy Rich is not even close, honestly!
I agree that Buddy was a master. I disagee that all rock drummers would be put to shame. Some mark(ed) the instrument (drums) in their own way. I won't mention names : each one's got his own list.
Yep, how did he do it with a set that didn't hide him & without 3 ft of hair flying around ? Oh ! It was his TALENT, something lacking in today's world. In his day, it took talent, not theatrics.
@@eric6832 The turtle neck was much more fashionable than what is called fashion today. Caps on sideways or backwards, ink that makes people look like they were in a paint fight, britches down to the knees.......need I continue ? BR had class also.......not much of that around anymore either.
James Boudreaux : Listen, you could list the “World’s top 300 Drummers or 3.000 Drummers” and someone will STILL write in and say “Oh you left out so and so” or “you forgot to Include so and so”! There’s just no end to it!
yes agree 100% the guy who put this up doesn't know anything about drummers he's a man in a kids mind impreesed by a big kit that makes a lot of boom boom & they get all excited..
Phil is good but I would rank Billy Cobham better than him. I saw them play side by side when Cobham was drumming with Genesis when Phil started singing lead.
Joey Jordison is a good pick his drumming on songs like diluted, no life, tattered and torn, eyeless, and wait and bleed are some of my favorite off the self titled album.
You got 3 of the 10. Rich, Peart & Bohnam. What about Vinni Colaiuta, Tommy Aldridge, Stewert Copland, Peter Erskine, Kieth Moon, Ginger Baker, Bill Brufford, Billy Cobham, Steve Smith, Carter Beauford, Carmine Apice, Mitch Mitchell, Gene Krupa & not to forget Hal Blaine the most recorded drummer in history. "Tommy Lee" are you F#%king serious. He doesn't belong on a list of top 1,000.
Oh, not true. Once upon a time Collins was one of the best rock drummers alive. He’s certainly one of the greatest rock drummers who ever lived. Of course, any so-called ‘Greatest Drummers’ list with Tommy Lee, Peter Criss and guys like Dave Grohl and some of these others is a joke. Obviously, put together by someone who doesn’t really know drumming. Not that Bonham could have done everything Donati or Minnemann or Lang or Mangini…or a hundred others can do, but he and Buddy Rich are still kings. And, all respect to Neil Peart.
Simon Phillips is God. Then Bonzo, Kruper, Ringo Starr is a super niche rock n' roll drummer..much harder than it looks, Phil Collins, Mick Fleetwood, Roger Taylor, Nick Mason..bashing lots of drums hard in 4/4 doesn't take a lot of skill lol.
The guy who made this he's a jackass and an ignorant not naming mitch mitchel and ginger backer or bonham in the number one spot he s the biggest ass-hole i never seen may be the so-called best drumers included here are his"buddies"
Buddy Rich at one is well deserved, that shit is insane. But Tommy Lee, not so sure about that one. I know best drummer is subjective, but I think the masses would agree when I say, wtf is he doing there? 😆
@@delimac59 Tommy Lee's solos are really nothing more than playing with backing tracks. I've seen him a couple times and I think the only time he actually attempted a "solo" was during the Theater of Pain tour. He's better in a song format and peaked with the Mötley Crüe album with John Corabi. He certainly doesn't deserve to be on this list. and Phil Collins should be much further up on the list, certainly ahead of Tommy Lee.
tommy lee couldn't play if his life depended on it i would like to ask him if he has ever heard of rudiments & does he know that books do exist on them
Glad to see Phil Collins on this list because when he was just the drummer in Genesis while Peter Gabriel was the lead singer, he had some bad ass drum solos.... Besides, everyone plays the "air drums" to 'In The Air Tonight'... just like Mike Tyson did in The Hangover. Keith Moon, Ginger Baker and Jeff Porcoro should all be on this list somewhere.
Me too. But I did make the effort to see and hear most and I am very proud did. When I'm asked "what was my favourite big".... I say two. Both at Knebworth Led Zeppelin and Genesis. There were many more equally as great but those were perfect........ Also, I swear I went partially deaf for a while after seeing ACDC.....Earth Wind & Fire were the most visual, even better than Jethro Till or Frank Zappa or Prince. Pink Floyd are in another league completely. I could go on but that's just a few.
Because the random guy who made this list based on his opinion put him there. Pretty simple. TH-cam has room for more if you care to contribute a list of your own. Just a word of warning, yours will get shit on too because people are ridiculous sensitive creatures who hate differences of opinion. (As you just illustrated).
Buddy Rich, the best the world has seen!! This man invented his moves, I'm a drummer and I still don't know how he did it!! I guess when you've been playing drums for over 50 years, that would explain it....right?? I saw him live and holy crap, nobody and I mean nobody can beat this man!!!
@@80srocker33 Listen to his full video of "the solo." No other drummer has drummed with 4 different time signatures in each hand and both feet at the same time. He did.

I guess people have forgotten about Gene Krupa he was a madman on the drums one of the very best ever
I agree Gene Krupa and buddy rich were phenomenal drummer and they didn't have all this high tech stuff we have now the list goes on and on
Didn't he get a heart attack while druming on stage ?
ADD Joe Morello, as well....
@@petersack5074 Yeah absolutely where is Joe Morello
Louie Bellson-"Skin Deep:@@Bau_der_Bobmeister
All I can say is GOD DAMN just watching Buddy Rich was just amazingly mesmerizing!!! That was awesome man you got number 1 right for sure!!!
Buddy Rich is a solid #1 pick. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a concert in the early 80-s. He was as good as he ever was even when he was older. I would put Neil Peart at #2. He's the best rock drummer ever, a true technician of the art.
I was with you on Buddy Rich (Since the uploader didn't specify "Rock" drummers, but...While I hold the deepest respect for Neil, even to the point of learning the entire YYZ drum solo from "Exit Stage Left" (It took months) I was pretty bummed when he played at least 80% of that exact same solo on the "Power Windows" tour. For any drummers anywhere near my age there's essentially 2 "schools of drumming" for rock. Neil-Technical excellence and Bonham-Heavy hitting with subtle technical prowess. I've always liked Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa, John Bonham, Ainsley Dunbarr, Ian Paice and much later was impressed by Ken Mary ( th-cam.com/video/qWf4J9kkVmI/w-d-xo.html )
I would select JOHN BONHAM as number 1
@@prajashankarpatage6135 it's pretty hard to go wrong with that choice, there's a reason he's a legend.
@@shanemichaels124 that's TRUE 😊😁
I agree. I'm a Rush fan, but I'd put Rich at one. His stick control is out of this world. Unique, and insanely great.
After playing for ten years I still can't play a lot of Led Zeppelin beats right. Oh, I thought I had them but after some real close listening I was off. That man was on a different level.
Better not listen to a 11 yr old Yoyoka Soma, you'll throw your drums off a cliff.
They band change timing so no one can dance to it, get the mechanics then the feel
This is a Gem...
Thanks for the upload...🤟🤟🤟
My first Rock band that took me to another level back in the 70's...
Led Zeppelin forever...
R.I.P John Bonham best power drummer ever...
Wow! Buddy Rich plays stuff with one hand faster than I could with 10 hands! I bet if you slowed it down like 10x it would be spot on rhythm, too. Crazy!
Buddy Rich getting all he can out of a standard drum set was epic.
Gene Krupa. Not Buddy Rich but could leave a few of those names in the dust.
Oh Yes Now he was the Greatest Love Rich
And jazz style!
A few of those drum sets were insane! Too many cymbals & to many drums. Buddy riches drum set was All A drummer needs. Buddy was great. And I don't know much about bands or drummers.
The only one who come near Buddy Rich is Charlie Adams, and I will bet you never heard of him.
Playing the drums is not how fast one can play. It is the sounds and effects you can produce. Listen to Mike Mangini, he’s a great example.
Very true, my drum teacher told me, Playing fast is cool
But keeping time is cooler
Or Portnoy for that matter
Its about playing MUSICALLY....
sound effects are def a PART of that, but thats what its about. Theres 2 types of player. "Drummers" who can play "drums"..... & MUSICIANS who PLAY DRUMS. There is a subtle, yet HUGE difference there.
I am, & wud much rather be, the musician who plays drums lol
Cant deny it...that buddy rich solo was out of this world.😮
Had the pleasure of seeing Buddy Rich and Louie Bellson in concert at Berkley in Boston in the early 80's. They did a drum battle at the end and it was SPECTACULAR!
Lucky duck!
Most memorable Buddy Rich drum battles for me were against Jerry Lewis and also Animal of the Muppets.
BTW, Jerry was no slouch at drumming.
I bet that was spectacular!! I would've loved to have seen that myself!
Завидую)
Rode in an elevator with Buddy at a hotel. A real jerk, but the best drummer ever!
i think danny carrey shouldve def made the list somewhere imo. he and neil peart both had such technical drum parts, cool time signatures, and original styles. danny was voted the most rudimental drummer like. more than one year i believe.
No question!
i saw the first drummer, paused the clip and was like: really? Phil Collins? he is really not a bad drummer, but i was getting doubts about the clip.
Then read your comment and thought: Danny Carey is not in it?
stopped watcing.
U are correct
Amen!
As well as Morgan Rose!
Sir your so right
As much as I love John Bonham, Neil Peart, and Mike Portnoy, I am happy that Buddy Rich is right where he belongs, in the number one spot!
Buddy Rich moves his hands like a humming bird moves its wings.
Absolutely. Buddy Rich is to drumming what Jimmy Hendrix is to guitar playing. A game changer.
Me too, from this list (that missed lots of other good drummers) I'm happy to see buddy rich number 1, he always deserves to be number 1.
Anybody forget about Mike Mangini
@@robertcosta7250will always be in Portnoy's shadow I guess
Don Brewer played for Grand Funk Railroad. His solo on TNUC from the "On Time" album is one of the best ever!
On a more serious note, there's Buddy Rich, then there's everybody else. Buddy was the best snare and hi-hat man in the business, hands down. (I always liked his left-handed upstrokes on the underside of the hi-hat. Very creative and original). Also, whether it be Slingerlands or Ludwigs, he only ever played with a single kick drum set. 😄👍🇺🇸
That's my thoughts on both Rich and Bonham the rest is all double kick drummers doing their best to compare to Rich and Bonham.
@@LEDFOOT49 uhh, that's an ignorant thing to say
True dat
Where is Ginger Baker ,Kieth Moon and Ian Paice? Max Roach? Come on man.
Gary C. They only picked 10. Try 10 guitar players lol
I agree mate - Ginger, Keith & Ian - and what about Cozy Powell???
Keith Moon played some horrible drum solo's, they were all over the place! Ian Paice of course, but Keith Moon please he played his drum solos like a train wreck...
I'm so happy that Buddy Rich made the top threee
Exactly, that's what i was thinking..
Cant believe Carl Palmer was not mentioned, he has same style or technique as Buddy Rich. Carl uses the art and science of stick mobility beyond wrist motion. I have seen him have the drum stick move on its own rhythm, quite amazing.
Carl Palmer is the best! (from Bulgaria)
I agree .
From Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Asia.
Very dissapointed in some of these choices. Really just shows the kind of bands were his favorites. It is however all opinion.
@@wesleyhitchcock4414 Palmer was voted the best drummer in the world, years 1973/74, he deserved to be in the top 10, Keith Moon too.
@@tarkus07 agree 100%
Fantastic....! So, where is Keith Moon ??
John Bonham, Neil Peart, buddy rich are the best drummer’s that have ever lived because of their diversity and the different things they could play... nobody was better at creating different riffs on the drums than John bonham!
You might be forgetting one who should be in the top 5 Barriemore Barlow from Jethro Tull, John Bonham say´d he was the best drummer England had produced
Agreed
I fully agree with you regarding John Bonham but Buddy Rich ? Learn a bit about drumming and you'll see Buddy was a show off, and useless. What he had was a superb orchestra/band that made Buddy better than he really was. MAN, BUDDY WAS BORING !!!!
Lucky you got to see Rush live, it’s my dream
Jeff Porcaro...
🎼 🥁 Well you got the 1st one right 🥁!!
Buddy Rich totally killing it with half the drum set as all the others!!!!
Do you know who Buddy Rich thought was a great drummer??? Karen Carpenter. He said she was one of the best he had ever seen.
@@stacymatthews57789🎼 Wow amazing, he was a very opinionated musician and was hard for him to compliment many. I once saw him on a old TV show and he said he thought Chet Atkins & Glen Campbell were both terrible musicians!!
You gotta have a lot of nerve to say that about the two of them who were great talents....many said he was not a happy guy and extremely hard and critical to work with.
Agree, #1 is without a doubt #1, no bells and whistles or need for flipping upside down. Wondering where a couple more are though,bc Dave Grohl is amazing.
Seriously surprised that Ginger Baker (Cream) isn't in the top ten, but i do agree that Buddy Rich set the standard for all rock drummers
Maybe they were thinking about personality’s as well, Ginger Baker didn’t have a personality.
@@spilleradam Ya he did,he was mean
Except Buddy Rich was a jazz drummer and not a rock drummer.
@@michaelsmith2733 I think Buddy could be mean, too.
You don't have to be an acrobatic drummer to play good music. I've seen small drum sets, a bass, a snare, three toms, a high hat, a crash n ride cymbal that behind a good drummer sound phenomenal.
It's not the gun, or how many guns you have, it's the gunner!! 😳
all great drummers everywhere...but Buddy Rich was an Icon ..I took lessons from a Buddy Rich drum book ..my drum teacher was a fan of Buddy Rich so I learned everything Buddy Rich ...it was an still is incredible...I live to play the drums...
buddy rich is ok but he's seriously overrated in comparison to his contemporaries like Elvin Jones and Tony Williams. tbh it's mostly due to the fact that he's more popular cause he's white
Buddy and Neil Peart used to jam together!!! Two G.O.A.T.$!
It’s funny seeing Buddy Rich at the end with one rack tom and a turtle neck incinerating everyone else on the list
Yes it is and yes he does!
I'm with you brother!
Best there ever was - ever.
OK, I;m sold, Buddy IS pretty damn good
Watch LZ Moby Dick live version. Bonham kicks all their butts!
Imo Buddy was the best. I was lucky enough to see him live close up when I was about 20. Carl Palmer is also missing here and was fantastic in his early 20's
Buddy Rich made everyone else look like they were sleeping.A true gifted drummer
Ever heard of Keith Moon, Ginger Baker or Carmine Appice?
Stuart Comeaux ginger baker.
My all time favorite drummer. RIP.
also Ian Paice
skip moon and Ginger..they couldn't even tune a snaredrum
Ahh Keith Moon, the most overrated drummer this side of John Bonham.
@@Dakhaos-ou812 depending on what your preference is my good friend Buddy Miles who played with the Electric Flag,Wilson Pickett,a bunch of studio fill in then Jimi Hendrix to Carlos Santana the voice of the California Raisins Stevie Rays band Double Trouble and on and on Player of machine gun on Band of Gypsy's Power drummer when we go to a club the heads on the drums have to be replaced when he's done of every superstar band and person he had ever seen Ginger Baker he said hands down was the best land any list that doesn t have Buddy in the top few is a farce New years eve 1969 the Fillmore East Hindrix says were gonna play you a little blues now and he Buddy Miles and Billy Cox break into 9 minutes of what may very well be the greatest live rock/blues recording ever made
Thank you for putting Buddy at the top where he belongs!!!!
You need to watch Carl Palmer , for whom Buddy said had the best technique in the business. But it’s just someone’s opinion.
When I saw Eric Carr, it brought back the memories of seeing KISS in concert at the Joe Louis Arena during The Creatures of The Night Tour. He was a great drummer! I thought Peter Criss was on this list as well, but I guess quite a few people felt that Eric was the better of the KISS drummers. But Buddy Rich played....BEAT THE HELL of those drums!!! I really enjoyed that sound!!!
I think they both sucked!!!!! Come on dude?!.....Kiss?.....Really!?....What's happening to our world?
@@billdrummer1197 HAPPY NEW YEARS, Bill!
The only way I can answer your question is like this.
People like who and what they like! What the rest of the people on this planet does, doesn't matter all that much to the personal experiences that each of us goes through on our respective journey of life! What I liked during my 20s, back in the 1980s, is far different than some of what I like at 61 years of age now! I'm sure that you have evolved a little bit as well. It would be a waste of time and energy to get uptight about your comment simply because we don't see things the same way! If the world is coming to an end, believe me when I say this, for every living thing, the end will come soon enough! It happened to me in August of 2010 during Brain Surgery and again in 2011 February from Congestive Heart Failure the Friday before the Super Bowl! I was in ICU for almost 3 months! By The Grace of God, I am still alive! So, we just disagree, Dude! ✌️
Kiss sucks.. Peter Criss had to be replaced in the studio by Anton Figg because he couldn't keep time. Puhleeze.
I'd have found a way to get Tommy Aldridge(White Snake)on that list. He's a BEAST!
Definitely with his feet he reminds me of Dave Lombardo of Slayer. I saw him with Black Oak Arkansas in the early seventies and I still remember him doing a drum solo with his feet😮😊
Where are palmer (ELP), Cozy Powel (Rainbow), Ian Monsley, Ian Peace Purple in the list....
Rich and Bonham are solid 1 and 2.
Agreed
I'm ok with Bonham being in top 10, but not top 5.
Primeiro Bud Rich segundo John Bonham, existe bateria antes de Bonham e depois de Bonham, ele era um gênio com os três toques, ele revolucionou a bateria
Buddy Rich was a jazz drummer from the 50s and 60s, yet he could pound the ass off most famous rock drummers. The speed and timing is impeccable.
John Bonham. Copyed buddy he always said it. What he did was apply buddy to rock.thus Buddy and John sit at the top.
Buddy Rich was one of Neil Peart's heroes. To quote an interview with him, "He said Buddy Rich was, ‘the greatest drummer ever to have drawn breath.’ ... It's not ‘fan talk,’ because I never really was a Buddy Rich ‘fan.’" It's the second part of the quote that is interesting. :D
but he's not even in the same league he's a jazz drummer not a rock drummer ...dumb
@@MrTarkus007 SERIOUSLY??? He's been a drummer and the genre isnt a significant impact on the talent.
@@jamiejostaten4371 you see what happened was god gave him a big shlong but took away from other places like his talent to play drums !! sometimes you can't have everything in life there are things in life you just can't buy with money no matter how much you have !!
This is all totally subjective. Except for Buddy Rich
2 thru 9.....open for debate. #1 absolutely no debate. Buddy Rich makes everyone else (maybe no Neil Peart) look like try outs....
I'd have Tommy Aldridge over Tommy Lee any day.
Also where's Nicko McBrain
You got that right
Me too.
This is all about speed. There are much better drummers who should be in this list. You cannot mix and compare metal drummers with jazz or blues or prog rock drummers. 😎
I dont think tommy lee and eric carr in the top 10.
But, It would be great if the drummers Porcaro and Williams of Toto, Ian P, of DP, Steve C of The Police, and the other Mike of DT are also in the list.
I like the way phil collins plays drums and when he sings in genesis he sounds. cool steve
Buddy Rich is a monster, how does he do this so fast? Sometimes I think that Buddy Rich faster than metal drummers
Oh for sue..on his left hand he holds the stick the normal way..others grab with their hands
Если бы дело было в быстроте, музыка бы превратилась в спорт.хорошего мало...
I love my metal - but I might have to agree with you on that one.
Best thrash metal drummers for me were Dave Lombardo and Pete Sandoval, both monsters of speed and power and thousands of beats per minute. But yeah, although snare-focused, Buddy Rich had a sheer velocity which was off the scale. That last clip renders everything before it pretty much irrelevant.
Amazing thing about Phil is that he wasn't just one of the most talented drummers, he was a great singer and was an instrumental genius. Glad he and Neil made the list. I respect every drummer, I don't believe one is better than the other.
Where was Dave Grohl? In the womb, by the time?
Phil is probably top 100
"World's Best" will always be subjective. I don't care how fast you can play in a demonstration. What I care is how your drumming goes with the rest of the song.
QuickStix26 same thought! Solos are one thing in time drumming is another!
That is true but not when Tommy Lee is in the top 10. That's insane.
Neil Peart. The BEST. RIP
QuickStix26, abso-damn-lutely correct! 👍
Right. This is everyone's opinion thats it. Theirs no absolute on who is the world's best drummers. We could never be certain. But if your going technique and skill, a list without Mike Mangini would be wrong. My opinion
Buddy Rich PLAYS the drums. The rest beat the drums.
So true ! Lots a kids here for sure !
I’m a 71 year old Vietnam Veteran and the 60s & 70s produced the best bands ever. I will go to my grave believing John Bonham was the most talented drummer .... period ☮️
You all can have your list of greats and theres no such thing as the best or top ten best sorry people take your favorite and go in the corner and rub one off cuz it's how that particular drummer or musician makes one feel.
Just enjoy the music and don’t worry about it.

More in line with my taste than the "typical best drummer" list. The earlier choices missed me a little, but I am older guy and 4 out of 4 isn't bad at all in my book. Thanks.
They're missing Ginger Baker, who, as a Jazz rhythm/blues drummer pioneered the double base drum and his unique style . ...Bonham emulated this style, and Peart was really a different drummer altogether.
Awesome, yes, ...maybe not a pioneer. One of the greatest, yes.
Missed one. Louie Bellson was a phenomenal drummer and pioneer of double bass drums. I had the pleasure of meeting him in 1983 at Whitewater, Wisconsin D & B International and he gave me his sticks.
1? He missed about 20. His 5-10 are generic.

@Buddha Bell what's so funny? I guess all you know about Collins is one or two hit ballads right?
Phil is good but I would rank Billy Cobham better than him. I saw them play side by side when Cobham was drumming with Genesis when Phil started singing lead.

Danny Carey
Zackly. And Phil Collins can play anything that makes noise.
Max Roach:: Who's Tommy Lee?
God: Yeah, I know. Someone misread the memo, and now Tony Lee is playing weddings in Muncie.
Exactly. Dream theaters drummer sucks hugh. Just random garbage
Oh, not true. Once upon a time Collins was one of the best rock drummers alive. He’s certainly one of the greatest rock drummers who ever lived. Of course, any so-called ‘Greatest Drummers’ list with Tommy Lee, Peter Criss and guys like Dave Grohl and some of these others is a joke. Obviously, put together by someone who doesn’t really know drumming. Not that Bonham could have done everything Donati or Minnemann or Lang or Mangini…or a hundred others can do, but he and Buddy Rich are still kings. And, all respect to Neil Peart.
Tommy Lee? Lmbo!!!!!

Buddy Rich is fantastic playing with a minimal drum kit !

Check out Simon Philips. He is one of the best I've seen (heard).

Simon Phillips is God. Then Bonzo, Kruper, Ringo Starr is a super niche rock n' roll drummer..much harder than it looks, Phil Collins, Mick Fleetwood, Roger Taylor, Nick Mason..bashing lots of drums hard in 4/4 doesn't take a lot of skill lol.

Buddy Rich at one is well deserved, that shit is insane.
But Tommy Lee, not so sure about that one. I know best drummer is subjective, but I think the masses would agree when I say, wtf is he doing there? 😆
Exactly!
@@delimac59 Tommy Lee's solos are really nothing more than playing with backing tracks. I've seen him a couple times and I think the only time he actually attempted a "solo" was during the Theater of Pain tour. He's better in a song format and peaked with the Mötley Crüe album with John Corabi. He certainly doesn't deserve to be on this list. and Phil Collins should be much further up on the list, certainly ahead of Tommy Lee.
tommy lee couldn't play if his life depended on it i would like to ask him if he has ever heard of rudiments & does he know that books do exist on them
Heard prior to 5:30: "How could ANYONE out-do all these drummers?"
"Just wait a second..."
Oh my god Buddy Rich had some incredible hand speed didn’t he?
They all have a different style of playing, so this would be more like a personal favourite list.
Phil Collins was better than I remembered. Buddy Rich's stick work is just beyond words.
All absolutely awesome but then came Buddy Rich what an absolute legend…
last dude is like the Bruce lee of drummers haha very nicee man
Glad to see Phil Collins on this list because when he was just the drummer in Genesis while Peter Gabriel was the lead singer, he had some bad ass drum solos....
Besides, everyone plays the "air drums" to 'In The Air Tonight'... just like Mike Tyson did in The Hangover.
Keith Moon, Ginger Baker and Jeff Porcoro should all be on this list somewhere.
Phil Collins was phenomenal on the first few Genesis albums. Vastly underrated drummer before he took over lead vocals.

Me too. But I did make the effort to see and hear most and I am very proud did. When I'm asked "what was my favourite big".... I say two. Both at Knebworth Led Zeppelin and Genesis. There were many more equally as great but those were perfect........ Also, I swear I went partially deaf for a while after seeing ACDC.....Earth Wind & Fire were the most visual, even better than Jethro Till or Frank Zappa or Prince. Pink Floyd are in another league completely. I could go on but that's just a few.
How could you omit Cozy Powell???

For real. I love me some Motley Crue but I did NOT expect that.
Lol I was thinking that myself.
i mean, he IS the best drummer in Motley Crue 🤷🏻♂️
Because the random guy who made this list based on his opinion put him there. Pretty simple. TH-cam has room for more if you care to contribute a list of your own. Just a word of warning, yours will get shit on too because people are ridiculous sensitive creatures who hate differences of opinion. (As you just illustrated).
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! "AIN'T IT "???!
Buddy Rich, the best the world has seen!! This man invented his moves, I'm a drummer and I still don't know how he did it!! I guess when you've been playing drums for over 50 years, that would explain it....right?? I saw him live and holy crap, nobody and I mean nobody can beat this man!!!
Joe Morello. 51 yrs you should know better.
@@bryanrendleman2001 I don't think so!!
@@80srocker33 Listen to his full video of "the solo."
No other drummer has drummed with 4 different time signatures in each hand and both feet at the same time.
He did.
here's a band I'd like to see....all the players you can watch - but you don't know how they are getting that sound....
JEFF BECK - GUITAR....
JACO PASTORIUS - BASS....
MILES DAVIS - TRUMPET....
JOE ZAWINAL - KEYBOARDS....

BUDDY RICH -
PERCUSSIVE GYMNASTICS....
