One for the Tub Thumping fans...

By *ddie1966 OP Man over a year ago

Paper Town Central, Essex.

So we've had our ultimate Bands in the thread "One Night Only" and best Lead Guitarists.

However, as a bass player, I take my queues from the guy that's usually hidden behind a shed load of gear. The un sung hero of any group.

The Drummer.

My daughter sent me a link on YouTube where Chad Smith plays blind to a track by 30 Seconds to Mars called The Kill. The guy is amazing.

Chad is the Tub Thumper from The Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

It's made me re assess who the best Drummers are.

So this one's simple.

Who do YOU rate as the GOAT of Tub Thumpers...

I'm gonna stick with my original thought of Ginger Baker, but god dammit, Chad is really good.

Watch the YouTube video.

Let battle commence...

An amazing drummer. Rush were one of the bands I admired as a youth. But then a was told about a guy called Eric Delaney.

The stage wasn't big enough for his drum kit so he took his drums to ballroom floors. Over 30 drums being played...

But soooo old school....

Charlie Watts was a terrific drummer, seldom flashy but incredible feel for it.

Max Weinberg of the E Street Band is a powerhouse

John Bonham was extraordinary too

Dave Lombardo, no question. The drumming on the South Of Heaven album is tighter than a nuns anus.

Now Nandie Bushell is amazing for her age.

It's not often you find a musical savant like her.

If she keeps it up, she will be one of the best ever. Male or female.

Amazing regardless of age as she knocks most straight out of the ball park as she is

Always liked Matt Sorum, never liked Lars Ulrich but, apart from St Anger, he does a great job.

But Tommy Lee, who i saw play with his band Methods of Mayhem, the drum solo blew me away!
