Zach is a fuckin wild man, no doubt. But shouldn't even be mentioned in the best drummers ever thread.

EDIT: just noticed your orbital handle....nice:D

EDIT2: just realized this thread is 3 years old.

One of the BIGGEST attributes that makes a good drummer (or any musician really) is feel. If you don't have a good feel, you don't have shit.

 

[walkietalkie]

For rock music, Zach Hill is a beast. Brian Chippendale as well.
For jazz, hands down the most profound drumming I've ever heard has been from Okay Temiz, specifically appearing live with Don Cherry and Johnny Dyani on both the albums Blue Lake and Orient. And when you pause during any of the several 30min.+ songs they play and realize that they are improvised on the go, you see what I mean. How those people could come together like that live and put out such diverse, bizarre music while still retaining total control and an (for the most part) accessible flow is beyond me. It was probably even beyond them.

Sorry to mention him again, but Danny Carey is the best I've ever heard.

i was listening to some dead shows from when mickey hart was out of the band and thinking that bill kreutzman was a way more interesting drummer during that time.

Dunno about the "Best" but i like the legend that is
Keith Moon
David Grohl , not only for his excellent drumming , i like just about all the things he gets involved with.
Travis Barker is also good but i ain't as keen on some of the people he has worked with.
How could i forget Topper Headon of The Clash !

Stewart Copeland of the Police comes to mind. I also LOVE the guy in the dress from Phish(Fishman) I think. Jazz/Rock FTW.

 

[ageingpartyfiend]

If we're talking psychadelia / jazz, has got to be the late, great, Pierre Moerlen

 

[ageingpartyfiend]

rock?....Phil 'filthy animal' Taylor in his prime...

 

[theotherside]

Yeah for Jazz I would put Jimmy Cobb at the top spot....played with Wes and Miles! His live sets(like Smokin' at the Halfnote) were top of the class.
