Ummm......I don't know what kind of conspiracy theories you believe, but Ringo is alive...In fact, he and Paul are the only Beatles that are still with us. Also, Ringo a talented drummer?? Hmmm....I must have missed that one...to each his own, I guess.

My vote goes for Jon Theodore, formerly of The Mars Volta. Listen to any song off their first three albums, and you will be blown away by his drumming technique. The man is a monster, he sounds like an octopus is playing those skins. The Volta's new drummer, Thomas Pridgen, is really good too, he's also like 18 years old or something insane. No one that young should be as good as he is.


Try to listen to the drums specifically, Jon is a Haitian beast!


Here's a new, unreleased song with Thomas on drums:
MARS VOLTA | WAX SIMULACRA

Jon Theodore was gonna be my pick

Way to beat me too it, but your completely right, his drumming is insane, and also full of energy.

You know, you and I seem to have a few musical tastes in common

Feorge Gorman

Living:

Aynsley Dunbar
Terry Bozzio
Ginger Baker (although he looks dead at times )
Dana Carvey (Yeah, he IS pretty good...and DID play the solo in Wayne's World!)

Dead:

John Bonham
Keith Moon (who SOME consider the best drummer who ever lived!)
Buddy Rich
Gene Krupa
Desi Arnaz (Do congas count? )

Here's a GREAT drum solo by Terry Bozzio when he was playing with Frank Zappa...he ROCKS!


And here's a cool vid of a time-lapse set-up & take-down of Terry's set.


He's got a fortune wrapped up in cymbals ALONE!

Moon and Bozio are great choices but I have to go with John Henry Bonham. I've never seen anyone play like he does. Probably never will.

Zaireeka

Bonham was extremely talented. I think it could be argued that we was one of the most influential drummers to have ever lived. His style completely changed drumming forever.

Then again, I suppose the same could be said about Keith Moon. Has anybody heard of the rumored Keith Moon movie, "See Me Feel Me"? Mike Myers is supposed to play Moon, it sounds like it will be interesting.

See Me Feel Me: Keith Moon Naked for Your Pleasure (2009)

Bill ward from sabbath is one of the early great drummers. Toto's drummer is pretty sweeet too. and I always have respect for Def Leppard's one armed drummer, he plays better than many two-armed drummers.
