I thought I knew who the best drummer was but I've just discovered he's dead.

Don't know about second best but Gavin Harrison could be the slickest drummer in the world with the possible exceptions of Steve Gadd & maybe Stewart Copeland.

Jim Kilpatrick could be another but he's a snare-drum specialist.

Well, my drummer mate swears that it's Neil Peart (Rush)... never liked 'em meself!
I have to agree on Neil Peart. Even if you don't like Rush, the drumming is phenomenal.

rbmorris: I'm not too familiar with Rush, is there any specific album you'd recommend?

ColonelCustard: I'll check out Gavin Harrison's album Sanity and Gravity. Thanks.

Badmoon: Jack DeJohnette has quite an extensive discography. I wouldn't know where to begin, help please!

Pocketkings: not good enough.

NicklasPersson: Iron Maiden? I'm looking for great drummers not founding forefathers.

Noodles: That's something new to me. A deaf percussionist with an OBE.

Well, I'm not a big Rush fan, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend buying one of their albums, but if it's strictly drumming you're interested in and don't necessarily care about the other stuff, "Moving Pictures" would probably be a good example.
