I wouldn't put krupa or rich in the top 10 for jazz.

in general I would never put a big band drummer in the top ten for jazz. The nature of a Big Band vs a Small Combo group helps hide a weaker drummer in a big band where he'd get exposed big time in a combo

So Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich were "weak"?

Stuart Copeland is pretty amazing.

I wouldn't say that, but I have a charlie parker recording w/rich on drums where he drops several beats behind bird and proceeds to lose the form. this is not exactly greatest drummer of all time material.

Maybe he had a raging case of the clap that day. I don't think the existence of a bad recording makes him weak.

Krupa and Rich were great drummers. Maybe not greatest, but great is great enough for my tastes. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I had never heard that story. Judge for yourself:

He does use "triggers" though. Instead of recording the actual bass drum sound, his bass drum tells an electronic drummer to make a bass drum sound. Wiki says he does that because a natural bass drum sound would be too muddy.

Watching this felt oddly like watching one of those Dance Dance Revolution videos.

For rock, Damon Che deserves your attention.

For jazz, can't believe nobody mentioned Max Roach. The man embodies the triumph of timing and creativity over technical wizardry.
