N&G Favourite DRUMMER of All Time

[avecigrec]

I've been toying with this for a while, so let's give it a go! We'll do this MEGALIST style...

• Everyone has 100 points to distribute to their favorite drummers of all time.
  a) The most points you can give to a single drummer is 20 points.
  b) You must use all 100 points.
  c) Please organize the distribution in a list-like fashion.

That's pretty much it!

Tag me and I'll give your post a react once I've added it to the tally. If you make any changes between your initial post and the deadline, just tag me in a post letting me know, and I'll re-tally your list.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: Friday, March 15th @ Midnight Eastern / 9 PM Pacific
(I will be posting the next instrument that day)

I'm looking forward to seeing your choices, and curious what our final results will be! Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Ooh, nice. This won't be easy though....especially if I mix jazz and rock, which I'll no doubt have to.

Sean Moore (Manics)

Although if I can use my whole 100 to wipe all traces of Phil Collins from human history I’ll do that instead…

I can't believe you guys churned out lists so fast.

 

[TrainFan73]

I can't believe you guys churned out lists so fast.

I would imagine this will take you longer than most.

 

[imtheocean]

I can't believe you guys churned out lists so fast.

I fully expect mine to get edited and evolve, especially when I see others and wonder why I didn't think of them.

 

[avecigrec]

I can't believe you guys churned out lists so fast.

I'm astounded, but also stoked.

 

[TrainFan73]

There is also the fact that this forum is full of folks constantly thinking about their lists. I personally need some time to think about it but I’m pretty sure Neil is at the top and that Keith Moon is on it.

Half the time my lists are just the last 10 things I listened to
