Yes, this is the sequel thread to "Favorite singers who also plays guitar."
Whether it's drum set, congas, vibes, xylophone, marimba, tympani, etc., any percussioniist. Please specify instrument(s) played, other than a set of drums. Roger Taylor of Queen (tympani) Ringo Starr Johnathan Moffatt; studio drummer who played for Michael Jackson & Richard Marx Russ Kunkel; another studio drummer who played for many bands & artists (including Jamie Walters) Stefon Harris (vibes/marimba) Damon Grant (vibes/congas); former Blast member! Julius Wechter (vibes/marimba) played for Herb Alpert as well as his own combo, Baja Marimba Band Jacob Armen; jazz drummer Zac Hanson HONOREES Mario Lopez Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees) Nick Carter John Stamos (Yes, the Full House star plays drums for The Beach Boys) Frankie Muniz (Kingsfoil) Robbie Amell (True Jackson VP) FIRE & ICE! |
Neil Peart of Rush
The dude handles time signature changes as smooth as a Benz on the Autobahn. |
There is no better than Danny Carey of TooL along side the god of time signatures Tomas Haake of Meshuggah. There those are THE top two... can't beat em!
|
Dango from Amber Pacific is killer...plus he graduated from Belmont University (where I go)
Uh...it's hard to decide a favorite percussionist. I mean most of the celebrities in the percussion/marimba community are pretty much jerks. If I had to land on one, it would have to be Emil Richards. Recorded thousands of film soundtracks (was in Ratatouille, vibe dude in Sex and the City, xylophone dude in The Simpsons, pretty much everything). It'll take me a while to compile to great marimbists but I do love the works of Michael Burritt and Eric Sammut. |

Pecu Cinnari: fastest set of legs I've ever heard, machine gun bass drums lol

I'm gonna have to go with John Bonham, Steve Gadd and Steve Jordan. The drummer from Third Eye Blind is also amazing, but I can't think of his name.
|
Dan Peters, probably. He's Mudhoney's drummer, wich probably makes him my favorite just for that, but also he's played in Nirvana, Feast, Bundle Of Hiss, Love Battery... to name a few.
|
you gotta give props to Rick Allen of Def Leppard.. the man learned to play with his damn feet for cryin out loud...And he hits those drums HARD!!!! bad ass drummer!!
|
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...aseJackson.jpg Chase Jackson (of The Thirstbusters) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...ps5a46f76b.jpg Before he was Young & Restless, Michael Damian played vibes in his family band, the Wierz. |
Vinnie Paul - Pantera
David Silveria - Korn |
Daren king - mute math
Jose Pasillas - Incubus Adrian young - no doubt Joey Marchiano - pax217 Dominic Howard - muse Tony Royster Jr. - this dude was amazing at age 12. Look him up on you tube. |
Phil Collins. Ringo Starr might have been from the Beatles, but Collins knows how to make drumming sound cool. You should hear songs like "In the Air Tonight." It's awesome.:tcool:

Personal fave of mine
http://http://steveshootsshows.com/w...sthefall-2.jpg Matt Traynor-Blessthefall This dude has got so much energy and seems like such a nice guy :D Damn pics won't work.....AGAIN! :( |
In no particular order...
Tre Cool- Green Day Andrew Dost- Fun. Mark Pontius- Foster The People Benjamin Thompson- Two Door Cinema Club I wish that TDCC would make Thompson an "official" member of the band already, instead of him just being a touring member. |
Well...
Moon, Bohnam, Mitch Mitchell, Bill Ward, Lee Kerslake, Tommy Aldridge, Ian Paice, Cozy Powell, Woody Woodmansey, Aynsley Dunbar, Terry Bozzio, Peter Criss and Eric Carr, Adler from the original GNR, Herb and Brain from Primus... |
Keith Moon.
I'm not even a big fan of The Who. I just think Moon really knew how to live. Hard & Fast. He lived in the moment. Something I think a lot of us wish we could do. |

Christopf Doom Schneider - Rammstein |

Neil Peart of Rush:D

Mike Portnoy > Thread
|
Dave Lombardo.
|
Incubus of Inquisition.

I'll be a cliche and say Lars Ulrich. He always kills it live.
I also enjoy Josh Freese and Matt Sorum. |
Gene Hoglan
John Bonham Steve Smith |
Keith Moon, for sure. The Who is one of my all time favorites, each member is/was so incredibly talented. Moon the Loon! :P
|
James "The Rev" Sullivan.
He was just amazing, and his contributions in Avenged Sevenfold, Pinkly Smooth, Brian Haner, and Suburban Legends |
