I will agree that Bill Ward is an extremely underrated drummer. His work on songs like Rat Salad or War Pigs is phenomenal when you consider the time that they were recorded. That’s about the only thing they got right on this. Neil Peart is the master of rock drumming, period. As a guitarist for more than 40 years, I have worked with so many great drummers, both live and in studios. Every great drummer I ever worked with always claimed Peart as the most difficult to play and all of them admired his innovation. No drummer wrote percussion as melodic as did Peart. He is one drummer whose work is so unique, that you can recognize any Rush song just by hearing the drums. His drumming was music. Geddy and Neil were so good, they were nearly a band by themselves, which is the reason they sound so full for a three piece band. That is why there was never a loss when Lifeson dripped out of rhythm for lead. Rush concerts are the only concerts I have ever been to where more than half the audience were air-drumming to every song! I have never seen that for any other drummer. That’s because his fills are legendary and everyone knows them by heart. John Bonham only tops these list because of popularity more than anything else. He was a great drummer no doubt, but the best? Not according to any drummers I’ve worked with. It’s the same reason Page is always claimed to be the best guitarist, Jones the best bassist and Plant the best singer, although Plant often takes second fiddle to Mercury, once again, because of popularity. Led Zeppelin is probably one of the most popular and iconic hard rock bands ever, but that doesn’t make all of the musicians best at their instrument. The Beatles were also very popular, does that make George the best guitarist, Ringo the greatest drummer? It does to Watch Mojo, which is always a popularity contest rather than about skill. Taking any list by Watch Mojo seriously is equal to reading Rolling Stone Magazine to find a list of the best musicians. If you want to know the best drummer, maybe Modern Drummer Magazine might be a more accurate list of rock drummers. Neil Peart won their poll so many years they had to retire him to their hall of a fame, just to give someone else a chance.

But Ventures were the band that popularized the Surf sound for 50 years around the world. Still hugely popular in Japan. And just listen to Mel Taylor! His solos are extraordinary and copied on KZbin over and over. He played his solos on his band members guitars!

God they don't know the difference between a drum solo and a drum break! And why in the world would you pick YYZ, (one of my 67 favorite Rush songs) when you have actual solos such as "Der Trommler" on R30, or the "Rhythm Method" on Different Stages or THE ACTUAL GOD DAMNED SOLO IN "YYZ" FROM EXIT STAGE LEFT WHICH THEY EVEN MENTIONED IN THE DAMN CLIP! And Tom Sawyer is NOT YYZ!

John Bonham will always be the man topping my G.O.A.T drummer list due to his insanely lightning-fast crossover triplets that I’m working on right now. Really sad that he’s passed a long time ago, but still so thrilled to celebrate his rock talents as a Led Zeppelin drummer. 👏👏👏

Gene Krupa’s drum solo on Sing Sing Sing is like none I have ever heard, before or since. His omission suggests that most options in the ratings don’t include the earliest of drum masters, a major oversight!

In general this list is for drummers playing pop music. Except for a few exceptions this leaves out Elvin Jones, Joe Morello, Ray Bauduc, Roy Haynes, Louis Bellson, Gene Krupa, Han Bennink, Papa Jo Jones, Max Roach, Philly Joe Jones, Tony Williams, Art Blakey, and so on.

The top two that come to my mind are In A Gadda-Da-Vida which you included, and the live version of YYZ by Rush, which you also included. Also , I don't know if I can think of any solos, but I love the drummer for Opeth. When I see them live, I often find myself watching the drummer. And of course Mike Portnoy.

I agree totally! I believe you’re talking about the solo Neil Peart does during the live version of YYZ on the Rush - Exit Stage Left album in ‘81. This solo includes the insane Kentucky Derby (yes the horse race) trumpet solo on the high toms! Can you get any cooler than that!? Everybody loves his more recent solo in Frankfurt, and I do too, but this is my favorite drum solo of all time!

It was a fun list, but it missed many of the drum greats. Vinnie Colaiuta, Dennis Chambers, Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl, not to mention all of the pioneers like Art Blakey, Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette, and Elvin Jones. Those are the cats that aspiring drummers look up to.

Scrolled way too far to see Steve Gadd’s name especially when I thought he might make the video. 😮
