    It's a toss up between Neil Peart, Mike Portnoy, and Danny Carey. They're all better than each other in certain ways.

    But the best drum solo I ever saw was Neil Peart's fifteen minute slamfest.

    that actual relies upon on the form of drummer you think approximately great. finding at speed and persistence for loss of life metallic and comparable, identity sat Derek Roddy, in no way considered anybody play so quickly and so properly. Joey is easily up there with the greats tho, no basically for his drumming yet for being a all around incredible musician

    Carter Beauford, from Dave Mathews Band. Just an opinion, but the guy shows tremendous range and talent for a band that is a fusion of rock/jazz/blues - with notable other genres being used.

    Dino Dinelli. He taught Keith Moon how to spin his drum sticks. A real showman.
