Neil Pert - Rush, simply brilliant.
Simon Phillips, session drummer and main skins hitter for Toto for years. Also worked a lot with the Who.

Carl Palmer, Jeff Porcaro, Steve Gadd, Ginger Baker, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Hal Blaine, Billy Cobham, Ringo Starr, Phil Collins, Don Henley, Mickey Hart, Spencer Dryden, John Densmore...can there really be just one "best"?

Up to a short time ago I would have had your back on this one. A buddy challenged me to give an honest comparison between Bonham and Peart.
I gotta say, Neil Peart gives Bonzo a run for his money.

The Krupa - Rich drum duels were great, but I think you all are over looking Chick Webb....and by the way Lionel Hampton could do a pretty good job. Of course we are talking about days when real music was produced and not just today's noise.

Very true, Buddy Rich even copied Krupa's stage setup/appearance etc. although I think he (Rich) eventually outclassed Krupa technically.

I always liked the original Chicago drummer Danny Seraphine.
Also like his replacement Tris Imboden.

The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
