A GUY NAMED JON

So put some names down! We need drummers that are great but get little to no credit for being great.
 
I guess i'll do it now - Ringo gets a lot of undeserved flack. There, said it, let's move on.
 
Britt Walford on Slint's "Spiderland".

I'm always going on about that album on this forum, that's because it's SO DAMN GOOD!!!
 
Phil Rudd-AC/DC (master of simplicity)
Tim "Herb" Alexander-Primus (he's a pretty creative drummer and has great feel even in odd times)

I learnt a lot from Mr. Alexander, mostly because i was at an impessionable age when i was listening to Primus.

Ummm.. under rated drummers......

Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth
 
Charles Hayward from This Heat and Camberwell Now. Not really Under-rated, just under-heard. Amazing drummer.
 
how bout abe cunningham from the deftones, he tought me at an early-ish stage that heavy music dousnt just require you to crash the ride,

that guy from limp bizkit im not sure why but i just love his drummin
 
i could name millions but before i do can i ask underrated drummers by who? ringo is no way underrated community but to everyone else he is. so are we talkin underrated to the world or drumming community?
 
I guess if you've heard someone calling a particular drummer under-rated, that counts. Although that line of thinking probably makes every drummer in the world the best, worst, tightest and sloppiest player ever. We can argue it once it's posted.

It seems like Drumming is underrated to the world. So in the drumming/music community.
 
The youngsters in here are probably gonna pummel me for this, but Danny Seraphine was a highly underrated, and seriously overlooked, rock and jazz drummer before Chicago turned into a bunch of sell out weenees.
 
I'd like to throw in Matt Cameron.
Underrated by everyone else, not community. :cool:
 
I think the drummer of "Billy Talent" is pretty good, he's not real technical
but thats what makes him good, I hate "showy" drummer's.
 
budgie from siouxsie and the banshees/creatures

not necessarily underrated, but charlie watts doesnt seem to get the accolades that the bonham/starr/moon trinity receives. he is just as important to his band's sound and success.
 
Bill Bruford of Yes and King Crimson, great rock jazz player not heard of to much

Bill Bruford is one of my favourite drummers, the stuff he does on "Starless and Bible Black" is amazing, i particularly like the track "Fracture", has perhaps my favourite fill of all time. Does anyone else have a favourite drum-fill? Tell me i'm not that sad and lonely.
 
Phil Rudd, and Matt Cameron are great picks. I'll add Frank Beard (listen to ZZ Top's Tejas, hopefully a version before all that dreaded reverb was added to it....)

I almost forgot Frank Beard (even though I have ZZ Top-Greatest Hits in my CD player right now)
