Seems we have a lot of drummers here, a lot of really good ones come to mind for me (Danny Carey from Tool, Steve Perkins from Jane's Addiction, Vinny Paul from Pantera, Nick Mason of Pink Floyd) but I get the sense that a 'drummer's drummer' would probably be in a modern jazz band, and it might be for no other reason that they have more room to show off and grind for a minute or two straight in ways which other genres generally don't allow.Pattern-chaser wrote: ↑July 19th, 2021, 11:49 am An informal survey.

Mine is Michael Giles (early King Crimson).

I know we have discussed similar things in the past. If it's not obvious: I'm looking for recommendations, perhaps to discover new music.Pattern-chaser wrote: ↑July 19th, 2021, 11:49 am An informal survey.

Your favourite bassist, also the one you admire the most, would be good too.

I wasn't necessarily thinking of a "drummer's drummer", but why not?

And that guy from Def Leppard has to be admired for drumming with one arm.
