if greatness is equivalent to 'recorded output' then surely roland.
that is at least if we accept that 'drummer' doesn't mean 'apptitude for the manual operation of a drumkit', or imply a singular entity.
Sean Baxter (bucketrider) is pretty good for a human.
WHO is the greatest drummer ever?
42Yeah, I should've said John French. Also, George Hurley and Ringo Starr.

46i'll back up the elvin jones vote.
as far as rock music in the last twenty years goes, my vote is for damon che. john theodore in his "golden" days gets a close second.

47elvin is awesome and should get a mention but is by no means the best
buddy rich is definitely the best drummer. anyone who has actually watched some of the old footage of him will agree with this. he was pretty much untouchable in some of his stuff.
dave weckyl and dennis chambers would probably round out my top 3. steve gadd should be mentioned as well.

As in Louisville's Tony Bailey?
He's great, but I think Jon Smith (Aasee Lake, Guilt) had him beat. How about ol' Will Chatham from Crain? Fantastic drummer. Probably not the best ever though.

Salut!
Indeed. Both guys in Hella = super wonderful, humble, amazing people.
I just watched the new "Concentration Face" DVD over a couple days and was in awe, like seeing them for the first time.
