Jazz drummers and rock and roll drummers are, for the most part, like apples and oranges. I could list my favorite heirloom apple varieties, and I would not include any oranges on that list. Including the likes of Buddy Rich on a list with Charlie Watts and Keith Moon, to me, just doesn't make much sense. That said, there are just too many great drummers out there, in both categories, to determine who is the best. Most of the drummers mentioned above are all terrific. But sometimes a player's touch just strikes the right chord, and you think-- Yeah, that guy plays those drums like they should be played. For me, Gabe Jarrett, son of Jazz pianist Keith Jarrett, absolutely left me amazed after a live performance. But I'm not going to try to convince you he's better than your favorite. Rather than scrolling through lists, I am more interested in what makes a drummer great for you all. For me, GJ just played those drums like the musical instrument they are, exquisite buzz rolls carefully tossed in at appropriate transitions (he even did them on his cowbell!), and intricate polyrhythms played with such finesse not for the sake of complexity, but for the sake of the song. That's what makes a drummer great to me. The drummer has to do his part to make the whole song/ band sound great. (That's why I love Charlie, incidentally).. Drums are not to keep time, as I see it, but to drive a groove and accent moments in that groove.

I would second that. And I want to mention Mr Brian Blade from the US. Top notch jazz drummer ( also with Bob Dylan or Marianne Faithfull a.o.).
I`m still impressed by his playing as he joined the Tim Ries Stones Project for one gig only in Quasimodo, Berlin, 20.07.2006 incl. Bernard Fowler, Michael Davis and Darryl Jones. A very special gig, the drums were cooking! Tim told me after the concert that they were so excited that Brian Blade flew in to Berlin for that gig, and Darryl decided to join them too. it was recorded, but never found someone who taped that gig..The night before the Stones played Olympiastadion.

Besides Charlie.....Larry Mullen Jr, Max Weinburg and Nico from Maiden.

perhaps the topic should be changed to "OT - Drummers"

Michael Lee (19 November 1969 – 24 November 2008) was an English drummer who toured and recorded with former Led Zeppelin musicians Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.

Lee was born Michael Gary Pearson, and, similar to Led Zeppelin's John Bonham, used large drum sizes, something he attributed to his height. His bass drum was 26" in diameter, and his snare drum was a brass 14" x 14" shell.

He started his professional career as drummer with Little Angels, a band from Scarborough who became one of the primary British rock acts of the early 90s, however, Lee was sacked from Little Angels during their Young Gods tour, after it was discovered he had auditioned for The Cult behind their backs. He went on to play the full Ceremony world tour with The Cult (and was replaced in Little Angels by Mark Richardson.)

After playing with The Cult, he would go on to work with Echo & The Bunnymen and the reformed version of Thin Lizzy. Lee also worked with many other bands including Holosade, Alaska, and Sweet Janes.

Ultimately, it would be his work with Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant that garnered him the highest profile. As a result of his work on Plant's solo material, he was invited to continue this collaboration when Plant re-joined forces with Jimmy Page for their Page & Plant project. Lee became the drummer for their touring and recording band, also earning writing credits.

Lee also toured with Jeff Martin and played drums on Martin's solo album, Exile and the Kingdom. He also performed with The Cult founders Billy Duffy and Ian Astbury on their Ceremony tour.[2] He also co-operated on the 2006 Ian Gillan album, Gillan's Inn.

Lee died on 24 November 2008 from an epileptic seizure. He was found dead in his flat and his funeral took place in his hometown of Darlington the following week. Former bandmates Toby Jepson and Jimmy Page were amongst the mourners in attendance.

...From Wiki...How's that for a freakin resume?

I love Alex's "brown" Ludwig snare sound...instantly recognizable and massive beyond belief.

As in an earlier post. ..
