Drum day

I shared some of my favorite Bassist and guitarist. Now it's time to reveal some of my favorite drummers.



Lets get started with who many consider the greatest drummer in the world, Neil Peart.





Neil Peart is the drummer and lyricist of the Canadian band, Rush. He plays the greatest drum solo I have ever heard in there concert "Rush in Rio"




This is Bill Ward. He is the drummer for Black Sabbth. Bill is EXTREMLY under-rated. He pounds on the drums so hard, you can hear it over the guitar and vocals. Listen to the song "Iron Man" off the album "Paranoid". He does a great job at the drums.



Say hello to a fantastic Drummer, John Bonham. He was the drummer for Led Zeppelin and is one of the greatest drummers that ever lived. All you have to do is look up the song "Moby Dick". It's an entire drum solo by bonham. Sadly he died in 1980 and Led Zeppelin broke up.


Meet the the most hardcore drummer in the history of rock, Keith Moon. Keith Moon is the drummer for The Who. He is on here for two reasons. One for being a great drummer and second for being so reckless. He is known for staying at hotels and putting dynamite in the toilets. This got him banned at hotels all orund the world, and caused over $500,000 in damages. He also liked to throw furniture out of high windows in his and others house's. One night at a show, he took some horse tranquillizers and washed it down with some Brandy. He passes out, but The Who luckily found a drummer in the audience.




This is Lars Ulrich. He is the drummer for Metallica. He is also one of the founding members of the band. Believe it or not, Lars wanted to be a Tennis Player and moved to LA at the age of 17 to persue his training. Instead he became a Heavy Metal drummer. Dont ask me how that works!



This Is Mitch Mitchell. He played with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The who played with him as a session drummer before they got Keith Moon to replace Doug Sandom. He died two years ago on November 12th 2008.
There are many others but like last time, I would be here for a long time if I listed all of them. Stay tuned for next time when I will wrap up my project here with some of my favorite singers.
Untill next time, Im Lord Semaj, and that will be all.

  1. very nice! i personally find myself intrigued by rick allen, the drummer for def leppard who lost his arm in a car accident. if you'd ever SEEN him work, he can keep up with his band mates and his reputation just fine.
