Great drummers

[volfanbill]

You should be dead. And so should Rick Allen. At least he continued to play the drums. Whether you like Def Leppard or not. Have to admire the man for having the guts to come back to his passion.

lighten up Francis. Just because I think Def Leppard’s sound is awful, doesn’t mean I don’t respect a one armed successful drummer

The greatest have already been named. I'd include Butch Trucks and Jaimoe. What a fantastic idea to have two drummers/percussionists in one band.

Widespread Panic and Grateful Dead/Dead & Co. agree.
