He's not the greatest, but someone should mention Chris Farmer from Breadwinner. That guy's a badass.

I have smashed down the musical essense of Max Roach, Clive Stubblefield, Robert Wyatt, Michael Giles, Keith Moon, Buddy Rich, John Bonham, Ringo, Drumbo, Bill Bruford, Steve Gadd, Bill Stevenson, Dave Lombardo, George Hurley, Phil Collins, Dale Crover, Roland, Rey Washam, Terry Bozzio, Damon Che, Britt Walford, Claude Coleman, Mac McNeilly, Johnny Machine, Peter Prescott, Todd Trainer, Bob Rising, Brendan Canty, Bill Rieflin, Tim Dow, John McEntire, the guys from Hella and Lightning Bolt, all Melt Banana drummers, two others (names are sacred), the "good" bits (Coppola family genetics) out of Jason Schwartzman, and Dale Crover (again).
This essense amalgam has been forced into the cyborb shell that I've been developing over the past 2.5 years.
It has seven arms.
It, indeed is "THE GREATEST DRUMMER EVER."

I don't know, but it's not Keith Moon.
He was really good, for certain, but it's not him.

Zach Hill!
Such a nice guy! So young! So cute! The spitting image of the young Tim Buckley!
Can Zach Hill play a quiet piece of music with any subtlety? I do not know!
Even so, I am pretty much ready to give Zach Hill the title!
Zach Hill, nice young demon of Sacramento, Italia!
It's a frightening thought, how many years of rock Zach Hill still has ahead of him!
Salut!

Pierre Moerlen(?) who died earlier this year.
Maybe not the best, but his solo on Gong: Live Au Bataclan 1973 is one of the best I've heard.

Bonham, I guess.
Should have been on someone's list:
Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste (The Meters)

I am currently enjoying the drumming of the incredible Jim White, and since so many names have been posted his name deserves to be here too.
