I always preach that drumming diversity is an extremely important aspect of any drummer’s growth creatively. The following list is my personal ten favorite drummers based on their skill, creativity, uniqueness, and how often I find myself using things I’ve heard them doing in my own practices. I have not rated them one to ten because they each provide their own unique style and value to my drumming repertoire.
- THOMAS PRIDGEN- The Mars Volta
- JAMES SULLIVANN (THE REV)- Avenged Sevenfold
- JOHN DOLMAYAN- System of a Down
- Danny Carey- Tool
- NATHAN FALLOWILL- Kings of Leon
- CHAD SMITH- Red Hot Chili Peppers
- DAVID SILVERIA- Korn
- CHAD SEXTON- 311
- JOSE PASILLAS- Incubus
