I think it's fairly easy to argue that any answer other than Niel Peart is incorrect.

And if you think Neal Peart is incorrect, and you say anyone other than John Bonham, you will have a difficult case to make.

Have you even heard metal made in the last decade? Dozens of metal drummer blow both those guys out of the water.

It'd be like saying Jesse Owens is the greatest sprinter of all-time. He was great in his time, but today's sprinters can get his times easily.

Same with Bonham and Peart.

I've got a friend who majored in percussion and he told me that the drummer from Fear Factory uses a timer (I forget the exact jargon) so that for each pedal he presses, two sounds are created. Basically, he's creating a double bass drum sound while only having to use one pedal.

Sorry, I guess it was not obvious what I believe makes a drummer "great"; it's not all technical skill.

I used to love it when Buddy Rich would do the Tonight Show. Awesome.
