Favorite Drummer?

Im not an expert in this field by any means but im going to go with the drummer from the Foo Fighters. He always looks so passionate about it and he never misses a beat.

As we're on about drums. I cant play them. Ive hit a drum about twice in my whole life. However i feel like buying a drum kit. I think just to hit hard and to have a good time. Apparently you can pick up a full kit from about 150 euro. It might be a bit cack but it'd do the job.

Or should i get another guitar? Hmm.
 
Man, there are so many greats... One guy that comes to mind is Danny Carey from Tool...

Then there was Buddy Rich..
 
For Rock, it's hard to pick one, but Ed Cassidy from Spirit is on my mind right now. Beat always dead on - drives the song but never gets in the way.

For any genre - Buddy Rich is hard to beat. no pun meant.

Steve Jordan is one of my favorite drummers. For rock and stuff, I'm heavily influenced by Steve, Josh Freese, Abe Laboriel Jr., Matt Chamberlin and John Bonham (of course). What I love about these guys is that they can lay down a solid groove in any context and it always feels good. They can bash just like the rest of 'em but with all the finesse and groove in the world. And Steve Jordan's concept of timefeel and drumming in general has really changed my approach. I recommend his video "The Groove Is Here" to non-drummers all the time because it isn't an instructional DVD; it's just him playing with people and talking about his concept -- check out the interviews with Levon Helm!
