Gimme Mitch Mitchell's solo on Voodoo Chile.  

Blooz's pick would be a definite #2.

And it may not be the "best" but Bill Ward's solo on "Rat Salad" was cool.

Bill Ward (Dace has good taste)

John Densmore

Nice links.  Started clicking around YouTube and even saw Karen Carpenter tearing it up. 

Can't find a link to post with the drum solo from the Rare Earth's Get Ready album.  Along with Ina Gadda Da Vida, those two songs make me think I'm wanting to hook up with Bobbie La Rue for old times sake.

HONK!

Is it wrong that I enjoy Ringo Starr's style of drumming?  :bolt:
I never see him mentioned but I love the way he plays, especially on Help!, Rubber Soul and Revolver... I guess he's not fancy enough :uhoh

His style is commonplace now but was unique when the Beatles came out.  Like much of the Beatles' music has become commonplace and contemporary...  All of the copycats that came after made it so...

I'm not huge into drums but what I'm talking about when I say Starr's drumming style (especially in like 64-66) is his gratuitous use of cymbals and snares in comparison to a lot of drummers that seem to use a lot more (or at least put more emphasis in) the toms (I think that's what you call the drums without snares in them? :lol) and bass drum.
ex. of what I'm talking about (Roll over Beethoven)... In my opinion at least, the initial thought at the guitar intro is that 'oh it's a British band covering Chuck Berry'... and then Ringo comes in and it's 'Oh the Beatles are covering Chuck Berry'. There are a lot of songs like this from that period but this is the first one I found from youtube that was of decent enough quality that you can hear it well....

I really like Mitch Mitchell as well, especially on the studio version of Fire... really sounds like he's beating the snot out of that set.

And of course Moon and Bonham and all of them :)

Ringo Starr was known for one thing.   He never played the same "fill" more than once on a song.   99.99% will often play the same "fill" more than once on the same tune.   Ringo was rare.    Plus, like most of the drummers of his time, he used a "Jazz Kit".

 I agree Bubi,Ringo being a lefty,has a unique style and admits himself that he's unable to do certain things on the drums.That said I do enjoy him and think he's highly underated.

 Bill Buford,Copeland and Carman Appice are among my favs.

I like that quote about Copeland BUT...  The very fact that they put  Larry Mullins above Neil Peart makes the whole thing null and void.

For drumming talent, how can you guys ignore Gene Krupa?   That guy was great.

Buddy Rich was a tremendous talent, I have a copy of the Buddy Rich/Animal challenge, it was hillarious, with some top drumming on top.
