If you want a vote for the greatest drummer that WAS? Gene Crupper, Lots of sound with so few percussion and cymbals

Well he may not be the best . but the one I have the most respect for is Def Leppard's Rick Allen to be able to come back from the lost of one arm. And to rejoin the band and come back with a number 1 album , he got to be up there.
And last year they had him on American Thunder and he was on the back of a bike ,it seamed he into bikes now. Think of the talent he had , and the determination it took to over come his handicap ,shows what he is made of!

Not only is Peart a great drummer, he is a wonderful author and avid adventure motorcyclist!! The guy is phenomenal---read "Ghost Rider". He is a real intellectual and musical treasure!!!!

Rick Allen (( Def Leopard ))

On December 31 1984, drummer Rick Allen lost his left arm in a car crash on the A57 in the hills outside Sheffield when his speeding Corvette left the road on a sharp bend and went through a drystone wall. Despite the severity of the accident, Rick was committed to continuing his role as Def Leppard's drummer. He practiced drumming with pillows, and realised that he could use his legs to do some of the drumming work previously done with his arms. He then worked with Simmons to design a custom drum kit.

He's got the biggest balls of them all

Asking a question like this is like asking what is the best ice cream of all time. Ask 100 people and get 100 different answers. But I must say Mike Portnoy of Dream Theatre. http://youtube.com/watch?v=RwySEGSzwcg

The video's not there anymore. I think I know the Rush video you're talking about though, and it rocks.

Peart is fantastic. I'll be seeing Rush in AC in July. But I have to also mention Michael Shrieve from early Santana days. Here he is at Woodstock at the tender age of 19: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnamP4-M9ko
