Don’t like any showy drummers, prefer someone who lays down a good groove rather than a 10 minute solo !
Al Jackson Jr (Stax, Al Green)
Tony Allen

Couldn’t pick a top three but one that is missing from this list so far is Sheila E (Prince’s drummer for a few years).
The assumption most are making is that to be a best drummer you need to be in a Rock band and be a white male.
Saying that also not sure I saw Brian Downey Thin Lizzy) on the lists? |

"Levon Helm
Ringo
Glenn Kotche "
Until I learned Ringo was left handed and played right handed I though he was way down with Meg White. Now I have an appreciation on how he had to adopt his way of playing against his lead hand.
I salute you Ringo...for the drums and also Thomas the Tank Engine |

"Jon Bonham
Ginger Baker
Keith Moon
Exactly as I was going to put it Keith Moon is my favourite drummer of all time "
It’s a tie between Moon and Baker for me.
As a teenager I can remember holidaying at my cousins and my uncle letting me listen to all his original LPs... I blame him for my taste in music to this day!  |

I remember seeing a news clip interview with the Beatles and the guy asked Paul or John "is Ringo the best drummer in the world?" Paul/ John answered "he's not even the best drummer in the band". |

And wasn't Sheila E just an extra percussionist for Prince? Don't recall her being the drummer in his band |

"Animal

Read up on him. He was left handed and played right handed kits. That’s impressive |

Some excellent nominations. Although my favourite 3 are definitely already mentioned, I have to put a special shout out for....
Todd Sucherman (Styx)
Michael Schack (EDM Drummer)
Harry Miree (look him up just to see his kit!) |

I fell for that one for years, then had a conversation with an amazing professional drummer, who idolised Ringo.
He sat me down and took me through a load of Ringo’s drum patterns. Changed my outlook. Who was I to argue.
There’s a YouTube of people praising Ringo’s drumming fulsomely - those people include Dave Grohl, Jim Keltner, Questlove and Stewart Copeland.
They know a thing or two - Ringo is incredible. |

Always wanted to learn the drums as a kid. For me though, as an avowed Maiden fan, Nicko McBrain is the man.
A friend explained to me how he is unique in using his drumsticks the other way round and also the fact that his foot pedal work is a sight to behold.
I've seen Dave Grohl come up, I'm sure he's a great drummer but I tend to think of him simply as rock and roll royalty.
I'm afraid I don't know enough about drumming to really contribute any other names. Just Nicko for me.
Keith Moon though probably warrants an honorary mention just for being an absolute maniac |

Geek time but...
Sheila E was not in The Revolution that was Bobby Z.
Sheila E played drums for Prince in his touring band for Sign of the Times (87) and Lovesexy (88).
A truly excellent drummer and percussionist. |

Lots have mentioned Jon Bonham justifiably but what about his son Jason, exceptional drummer, check out Black Country communion.
Jon Bonham said that even as a child Jason was a better drummer than him. |

Seems like a list of most popular drummers, the one name that stands out is buddy rich though.
If you want to look up drummers that actually push forward and change people’s view of what’s actually possible to achieve behind a drum kit you need to watch people such as Tomas haake, evgeny novikov or Aaron kitcher |
