I'm glad he emphasized that it was the 10 'most important' drummers, with that said....that list seems pretty right on IMO. There's only 2 I'm not familiar with, Reinhart and Barker although I know I've heard some old Death with Reinhart...just wasn't into the genre at that time. Been threatening to check out some of those albums after they changed up their style a little. Nice to see someone put Zonder ahead of Portnoy for once, the #5 position is rightly deserved. I'd like to see Ulrich out of there, but he was right about his influence in the early '80s...he and Lombardo were definitely big in my book back then. I may have even switched Peart and Bohnam, of course John came on the scene first and was awesome no doubt...that's actually a very close call on who was more important and influential. Nice call on Dailor, I only have "Leviathan" from them...but that dude is incredible. He may not have a ton of versatility, but only one album is too little to tell...either way, he smokes and probably will influence many a young drummer. Hey, where's Richard Christy?... #drummer# He's like a combo of Peart and Zonder...just not enough exposure and of course giving up his sticks for the Stern show doesn't help. He's been showing off his stuff on the show lately though which is fun to listen to. Thanks for the link Colleen, a good read...  Seth |

One other one that's missing more than any other is Martin Lopez from Opeth. As far as someone that's been around for awhile and is absolutely going to influence a ton of drummers, this guy has it all. His jazz style is excellent for a metal drummer, and IMO to perfect jazz is to be a perfect drummer.
Just watched "Lamentations" again last night and was again blown away by this guys versatility, live and in the studio. His cymbal work, like Zonder's is mindblowing.

I dunno. Anders Nordin was more of a Jazz musician (drummer and piano player of the first 2 albums) always slightly off the beat, whereas, Lopez is a timekeeper to the max

Have never seen Anders play, so who knows? But watching Lopez on parts like the little extra they throw in on "Closure" makes me think he needs more recognition. Looks like I may be getting the kid a small set sometime soon, he wants to learn...watch out, if I start playing again...I may have to push some guys off that list...NOT!... Seth |

How Lars is ahead Of Zonder and Lombardo is beyond me. I hear that, at least he explained himself though as far as where Lars ranked at Metallica's peak...which for me was "Master of Puppets" and "And Justice...". Lombardo was easily better than him even then, but far less known...so the importance/influence thing comes in. Ultimately, Zonder's better than both IMO...especially from a technical standpoint.

My roomie (who's totally not a metal guy) was watching the Seattle video from metallica's live boxed set recently. Seattle was recorded during the Justice tour. I sat in with him during 'Master of Puppets.' And I may have actually shed some tears. That band was SO good back then.

I'm shocked that Nick Barker made that list...I mean sure, this editorial is over a year ago and I'm WAY behind, but I think Nicko McBrain should have definitely made it up there...I'm sure he was more important than Nick Barker. Because really, Iron Maiden>>>>Dimmu Borgir (Barker's band after CoF)>>>>Cradle of Filth (the band Barker started in)

The link is not working for me but is BILL WARD #1?  Should be. |

The link is not working for me but is BILL WARD #1? Should be. Here's number one: 1) John Bonham The first metal drummer. Black Sabbath’s Bill Ward was very much a player of his generation—loose with the sticks, grooving on his ride, incorporating rudiments; not unlike like The Who’s Keith Moon. Bonham simplified drumming, made it more powerful, more precise, more focused on the hi-hat and snare. This laid the foundation for every metal drummer that succeeded him. In his best moments Bonham also brought a technical element to the instrument that was unique. Tighter grooves, arguably, than any rock/metal player in history and a legend that continues to inspire this generation’s youth. |

Good call there...
