World's best drummer!

[Ultimate_Worrier]

I've said Neil Peart 3 times... Luke From Vertiis, Jester and now I'll say it again

NEIL PEART, CANADIAN AND ONE OF THE FINEST DRUMMERS TO GRACE A STOOL.

Saying John Dolmayan is "the best" is good for an opinion but as fact? No.

i shouldnt have said "the best" there, because honestly i do think neil peart is probably the greatest drummer, i just never see johns name in any of these forums and i think he deserves to be looked at a bit more, god hes good

[Ultimate_Worrier]

He is good and to be honest, his name is bandied around a lot but usually by kids who have only heard SOAD so they believe they're "da best band EVA" (sic).

I believe he is a good, GOOD drummer but compared to Neil Peart or David Lombardo or Nick Menza, he's got a hell of a way to go yet.

You're absolutely right!! I've been a fan of Rush and Neil Peart from the very beginning. On Rush's first album they had a drummer named John Rutsey. Go to the second album (Fly By Night), Rush's 1st album with Neil and you will be astounded by the difference. I've seen this band 12 times and am always amazed by the talent of this drummer. Easily #1.

PS: Check out "Burning for Buddy" and "Anatomy of a Drum Solo". Both by Neil Peart. "Burning for Buddy" is a tribute to Buddy Rich authorized by Buddy"s daughter. Neil thinks Buddy was the best drummer ever!!

Travis Barker is the Man!

How about Aaron Gillespie from Underoath?

Amazing in vocals and keeping up beats at the same time.
