best drummer of all time

[waxie]

This thread is accepting nominations for the best drummer of all time. There are no stylistic or genre requirements. Please include a decent argument about why your candidate should be considered. Also feel free to include your qualifications for judging such a title.

I used to play drums, but haven’t picked up a stick in like four years. I’m a casual music fan with tastes that range from punk to hip-hop.

I'll post my reasoning in a little while.

Dave Grohl, though he probably doesn't count.

[RunDownHouse]

Didn't we have this exact same thread, maybe even down to the title, a couple months ago?

EDIT: here and sort of here

yes, because to be the best drummer of all time you should at least be a better drummer than the guy who plays drums in your band

grohl is a good musician don't get me wrong, not remarkable as a drummer AT ALL

Whos the drummer from Queens of the Stone Age?
I read for one song he hit the drums so much and hard that he bent the symbols out of shape.

I dont know about all time, but pretty damn good is Carter Beauford.

Didn't Dave Grohl play drums for queens of the stone age, or was that only a guest appearance? Pretty darn sure he toured with them.

I know he toured with them and I am almost positive he played drums on one of their albums. He also had a guest appearance on Tenacious D's album, but I forget which song(s) now.
