We have a thread for guitarists, bassists and singers...

But we were lacking one for the rhythmic base! Those who keep the rhythm and the tempo, the backbone of any Rock, Pop, Funk, Soul, Blues, Jazz, etc band you can think of.

 

We were missing on the drummers!
Not anymore!

 

It's time to give recognition to those who create magic with the rhythm behind the drum set (and sometimes other percussions)!

So I invite to post your favorite drummers here!  

 

I'll start with one from my own country and without a doubt one of the best drummers EVER:

 

Mr. Gabriel Parra from Los Jaivas

 

 

 

Same song, here live:

Let's go with perhaps the most obvious choice now:

 

Mr. John Bonham from Led Zeppelin

And obviously with Moby Dick

Gabriel Parra from Los Jaivas

I can't believe it took me so long to realize the genius of a drummer that Stewart Copeland is
