Neil Peart drummer for Rush, dead at 67 from brain cancer.

Best drummer ever.

 

[Fear The Spear]

Will Ferrell wasn't the best, but a great drummer in his own right.

 

[Boone]

Best drummer ever.

Mad Max Weinberg would like to see you in his office.

 

[Beetlejuice]

Best drummer ever.

I wouldn't say best ever, it's hard to rank them. But anyone who says he isn't top 3 is insane.

James Lipton passed away. He was one of those interviewers that could just ask one question that would get a celebrity to feel at ease and open up for a great time. I always enjoyed his shows.

Which 1 or 2 drummers would you consider to potentially be better than him, in your opinion ?

Which 1 or 2 drummers would you consider to potentially be better than him, in your opinion ?

John Bonham and Buddy Rich. And no matter how people arranged that top 3, I couldn't argue against it.

Also, while not top 3, the most vastly underrated drummer is Travis Barker. He literally plays every genre amazingly well, and does things that blow your mind. He's the most versatile imho, and by the time he's done any list where he's not top 10 won't be valid.

 

[Beetlejuice]

Kenny Rogers has passed at 81.

 

[Boone]

He has some of the most rabid fans worldwide of any performer ever. I know several folks who were absolutely obsessed fans of his. He was definitely a huge cultural icon and by all accounts a very nice human being with a generous heart. RIP.

 

[MikefromOH]

His resume for the songs he wrote as much as the ones he sang is insane. The man was just a real talent. He also just seemed like a guy you could have dinner with and he would treat your mother with the same respect you would.

I remember my mom taking us to see 6 Pack in the theater
