I know Alex is one of the greatest rock drummers of all time even though he's highly underrated just like Ringo Starr. The greatest rock drummers of all time whether that be number one or number two are the late, great Keith Moon & John Bohnam.

There really is no end to your public displays of stupidity, is there Wayne? Unless...every post you make is coming from a place of deep and twisted irony...? (Come clean dude, it's all been a facade, right? No-one could really be that stupid. Oh, except rockvanhalen66, of course.)
Oh, and for the hell of it, my 5 drummer votes are (in no particular order):
Nick Mason (For the Floyd's earlier days)
Chad Smith (As a pretty straight-up rock drummer, his playing has given me far more pleasure than AVH could ever manage)
Tim "Herb" Alexander (Almost any track he's done with Primus shits all over AVH's playing from a great fucking height.)
Rob Hirst (For powerful and creative work with Midnight Oil.)
and just to have one "classic" in there:
John Bonham (For all the usual reasons.)
That's all just my personal opinion, of course. Your mileage may vary.
I think I'm one of the smartest & one of the coolest guys around at the DLR Army who knows what he's talking about most of time unlike yourself Foozwah.

Well you just keep telling yourself that, and maybe one day, if you really believe enough, it'll actually come true.
Of course, you might have to, you know, not write quite so many posts that make yourself seem like such an ill-informed, gushing, 11-year old fanboy first.
The only reason alex's drums worked so key within VH is because EVH is a riffer. you never heard much rhythm guitar. it worked in VH context. him and Michael Anthony created a backdrop for EVH's showcase. but as a drummer..... he's aggressive. but not overly skilled.
and I wouldn't want a neil peart playing on it. drums are secondary in VH. neil peart and EVH would become fusion. I like rock.
U2 used the same concept believe it or not. The edge is not a strummer. A simplistic low end, accented by percussion. creates a rhthmic backdrop to the guitar.
Manu Katche' (peter gabriel) that's a drummer. Steve Gadd is a monster. (check out "50 ways to leave your lover" ignore everything else-listen to the drums and polyrhythmics) AVH doesn't have the finesse, imagination, or attention span of these guys.
Shemp isn't even in THE SAME GAME as guys like John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Keith Moon,....hell, not even Dave Grohl,Charlie Watts, and the GREAT PHIL RUDD!!!
I gotta go with TheTruthBaby I've playing drums since i was 8 years (cardboard boxes pots and pans) until i got my first drum it was a little blue flake snare my father brought home from work for my 11 birthday
i played that sob every day along with a box or two. i played to Frankie Ifield records, Buddy Rich ( Master Drummer) and one of my top 5 when i turned 16 my dad brought me to a local night club and told the owner (his friend) to let me sit in and play a song or two with his band so sure enough my first stage fright sat in. i played red river valley then i asked if i could play wipe out, they all looked at each other and nodded and said do it kid after the song was done his bar went wild even his drummer said kid stick with playing the skins man you'll go far.And even set me up with a place that when i told the store owner that Jimmy Tutt sent me to by a drum set i got my first set of ludwigs 5 peice Champaine Sparkle for 160 dollars new (man i wish i still had those) i wound up being a part of and a fill in for those guys(The Bobsmen) for 15 years untill i got involved with my own bands.
anyway my 5 are
