Wow- I am getting Old. I have heard of maybe six of those.

 

I'm probably at least a decade older than you and I recalled how ~23 went without youtubbing them and guess I'd recognize about double that many more if I'd heard them.

 

I'm a pretty big Tool fan but I'd never heard #1 before.

 

I recognized a few drummers that played in bands I wasn't familiar with.

The first solo I remember learning as a 5th grader on my brothers' drums was a Beatles' aong I can't think of.

EDIT:

 

And My personal favourite came in at #30

Strange how much that feller looks a little like my Ex-Mother-In-Law.

 

The song that frustrated me the most and that I later blamed for me giving up on playing again wasn't even listed in the top 300 (that I could see)..Zeppelin's "Nobody's fault but mine"

I thought for sure Bonham had to be wearing ear plugs to enable him to change time like that..3/4 to 4/4 to 5.5/4?

 

This guy is much better than me and after watching

I'm even more frustrated.

This is a better example of Brann Dailor, needs to be higher on the list...

 

 

His ability to just be playing these insane parts, but yet hold the song together, is nothing short of amazing.

 

I'm glad that they're are some legit guys on there.

 

But Steely Dan, c'mon....

I was a little suprised Keith Moon (Who), and Stewart Copeland (Police) got so many mentions...I liked the songs and the drum parts were fun to play along with..But nothing seemed all that extrordinary about the performances.

 

I grew up having my dad play Dave Brubeck, Max Roach, and Buddy Rich, and most of my life John Bonham and Neil Peart were my favs..Nice to see them represented..But my latest fav. (Joey Jordison/Slipknot) not even mentioned.

Have you ever heard Lethargy?

I recognize the name. Not too familiar with them.

 

Brann Dailor and Bill Keliher from Mastodon were in that band, and it is progressive, technical thrash metal at its finest.

 

Only one album and a compilation cd that is mind blowing...

What?!?! Great song off of one of the greatest Tool albums. Danny is the man! My personal favorite rock drummer with what I think is arguably the best band ever.

 

Blaze1up-

Tommy Lee? I remember seeing that show when he went to Nebraska. What a joke. The NU drum line could out play him any day. He's a showmanship more than a musician.
