It's that time again, music lovers of the Palace. While previous tournaments have dubbed Jimi Hendrix the greatest rock guitarist and Chris Squire the greatest rock bassist, it's time to move on to the guys banging on the drums.

Nominations for the tournament will work exactly as they have previously: each TGP member may nominate up to 25 drummers, and you may designate a top 5. The top 5 makes seeding a little more precise: a nomination is worth 1 point, but a top 5 designation is worth 2 points. Note that you do not have to nominate 25 drummers, and your top tier does not have to contain five drummers. As always, feel free to edit your post after you've made it as more names come to you. This thread will stay open for awhile.

My ballott:

John Bonham
Neil Peart
Danny Carey
Mike Portnoy
----------------------
Ginger Baker
Nick Mason
Keith Moon
Mitch Mitchell
Ringo Starr
Bill Ward
Ian Paice
Nicko McBrain

Will update later.

You're not the only one. Hendrix beat out Eric Clapton 13-9 in the final poll. If you scan through this forum (General Entertainment), you can see all the polls. Here's the general discussion/nomination thread, though: http://www.thegridir...y/page__st__40.

80's hair band days

Eric Carr (my personal favorite)
Alex Van Halen
Tommy Lee
Rick Allen (man had one arm and still found a way to play drums)
Charlie Watts (not really 80's drummer but he was the Rolling Stones drummer)

Most of the others I would mention have already been mentioned.

One name I feel obligated to throw out there is Jason Bittner of Shadows Fall. He's a very subtle giant on the kit. Only when you listen closely and here the complexity of his fills, cymbal work, and double-bass work will you hear his genius. I really appreciate that. You have to really listen to him to understand just how complicated the things he's doing are.

I would like to express a sincere thank you to BoneKrusher for the badass sig and userbar.

Neil Peart and John Bonham.

Peart gets a slight edge because he is so technical proficient.

just so it is clear--I didn't read a single post on this thread, just read the title...

I bet he is mentioned..if he isn't, then shame on you...

neil peart..absolutely the most musical drummer on the planet,,you may be excellent at double bass parts doing 32nd notes at 160 BPM, but could you construct drum parts like peart does?? can you make your drumset fit a song like him?..

no, you cannot..

If this tourney comes down to anything but a Bonham vs. Peart final, it'll be a shame, honestly.

I don't know man Taylor Hawkins is also an amazing drummer. Dave Grohl as well. But yes I do think the final should be Peart vs Bonham

yeah, to be honest i am more of an older fan, than some of the new stuff that some memebrs are doing like redemption and osi..saw a matheos/arch video the other day, and i actually liked it..somehow it fit to hear arch singing like he does over something matheos wrote..ivory gate of dreams has been on e of my favs for a long time...paraells is a great album too, zonder shines on it, such depth..but I can't do without my no exit cd...LOL!...

and if it comes down to bonham/peart--sorry zep fans, this isn't a popularity contest, or it shouldn't be..peart can do anything bonham did, and a million things more he can't...maybe a million squared...

peart, in a landslide...I mean-huge landslide..no contest, unless you want popularity to count.but that's my take...

some excellent technicians also--of course mike portnoy, and his replacement mangini in dream theather...

notice some mentioned gene hoglan, dave lombardi...are we crossing into thrash/metal;/death/black metal as well?...

enter hellhammer then and also enter the original drummer from fear factory can't remember his name right off...his feet sound liek popcorn popping...

many of the european black/satanic norweigian bands have excellent drummers as far as double bass mastery..dimmu borgir and bands like those.

but like the above poster mentions, the prog drummers by nature of what they are asked to do, cover more ground and have to master just about every technique used from multiple genres often in the same song, from a 16th note quads double bass parts to a jazz sound instantly...play loud as hell, then quiet...

bands such as the melodic metal/prof types, shadows fall/sonotica artica/symphony x/dragonforce styles have them too...

we are blessed with such great musicians to be honest, as those mentioned in this thread...I leave out the old heros from my true generation, because they ahve already been mentioned in here...

but I am happy to see such a sports fanbase know their stuff when it comes to music..often all you see is sports fans mention popular bands drummers, because they don't know any better--if they are on the radio, they must be good kinda thinking...

nope.doesn't work that way, and that is sad..the best--are usually unpopular, because simple stuff sells, to simple people..nobody wants to hear technical music while smoking a joint and chasing a bimbo, it would make them nervous..LOL!...ok-done rambling.

Attila, frequently referred to as Attila the Hun, was the ruler of the Huns from 434 until his death in 453. He was leader of the Hunnic Empire, which stretched from the Ural River to the Rhine River and from the Danube River to the Baltic Sea. During his reign he was one of the most feared enemies of the Western and Eastern Roman Empires. He crossed the Danube twice and plundered the Balkans, but was unable to take Constantinople. He also attempted to conquer Roman Gaul (modern France), crossing the Rhine in 451 and marching as far as Aurelianum (Orléans) before being defeated at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains. Subsequently he invaded Italy, devastating the northern provinces, but was unable to take Rome. He planned for further campaigns against the Romans but died in 453.
