Agreed! His band, Ginger Baker's Energy, played in the club that was my 2nd home as a teen. I was slightly deaf for days after. 😀🙄

Neil Peart of RUSH is undoubtedly the greatest rock drummer of all time. Bill Bruford, ex KingCrimson and YES is a close second - as he mixes in blues rhythm too. Interestingly, Melody Maker in the early eighties voted Phil Collins in the top ten greatest. Phil is actually a very highly accomplished drummer! 😉

Oh yes indeed-y! John's got to be up there. Ginger Baker might be excellent as well, but after hearing how fantastic these guys were, I found Cream to be so overrated I never really gave him a chance.

Ginger Baker was without doubt the top drummer of his era.

That one in Rush [also mentioned above] was good too.

Keith Moon was the best showman.

[IMO]
