Good video of a knowledgeable guy explaining why. No wonder after his death, there was no more Led Zeppelin.. Just Page / Plant. Kinda lengthy (9 minutes) but worth the time if you like Zep.

Ginger Baker might have something to say about that...**

Here's an even better take.

Here's a good run down on a top 10 opinion.

Interesting list. I'm not a huge fan of MatchMojo's videos, tbh....particularly their movie ranking vids....
That being said, we can quibble on the order of some of these guys, but they at least had several deserving drummers in their list. Good to see Stewart Copeland in there. He's insanely underrated.
I hate to say it, but Dave Grohl doesn't belong on this list, and I'd bet money he'd say the same thing (he worships Bonzo, btw). I absolutely love Grohl; one of my favorite people, and one of the great rock front men. Some would say the same about Phil Collins, who like Grohl, is a far better front man and singer/songwriter than he is a "rock drummer", but Collins, unlike Grohl, is an extremely musical drummer, and a more of a well rounded 'percussionist' (in his compositions, phrasings, and style).
Moon is overrated, as usual.
Bully 13 are you Rosebowl?
It's all subjective. Bonham was great but I don't consider him "the" greatest and not even top 10 though I think he deserves a ton of praise. There's just so many drummers out there.
to not have Mick Fleetwood on that top 10 list is insane. One my favorite "drum songs" is Go Your Own Way. I met him once at the Nashville airport back in the early 90's. dude's tall as shit.
I told him the first album as a kid that I bought with my own money was Rumours and that I was from Greenwood in the Miss Delta. He asked if I liked Robert Johnson and I said yea I lived about 15 miles or so where he sold his soul to the devil. He said "wow, that is so cool!". nice guy.
Peart's a bad ass.
Danny Carrey needs a mention.
1) Peart

2) Bonham
3) Everyone else
Eloy Casagrande and the guy from Slipknot are among the best drummers to have ever played in metal, rock, or anything else. Dave Lombardo's legendary status is comparable to Bonham's.
