Purdie was an amazing talent, but was also the most arrogant pos of ALL time.
He might have the best shuffle of all time though.:Doh, and cmon. unsolicited as it may be, best drummer ever = Buddy Rich.

No.
Not starting any fights here, but as a drummer for 30+ years, I can't name you the greatest of all time, (he/she hasn't been born yet) but for almost every "favorite" that's listed, I can think of at least one other that smokes him in one way or another. -

That's a fact Jack!!!and then there's Bonham!!!! -

His superlative "every day" rhythms and beats simply haven't been reproduced by any other.
P.S.: And yes, I know that wasn't the OP's intent to turn this into a vote, but I'm so passionate about Zeppelin I just can't contain myself. How do you create one of those poll threads ???
Very true . . . He could not only play the rhythm and beat, he at the same time could play the melody of the song while doing the rest. He could even duel with Page & Plant playing the melody.
He definitely was one of a kind. . . too bad the junk got to him. -
I will have to confess my ignorance of Buddy Rich. I don't know if he was just a bit before my time or just not my genre.

Yes, and he is 2nd best drummer of all time.
I just got pumped up after watching it; he is actually amazingly rock solid given all those moves.For Sale 2019:

I've heard he always played out of sync, a little ahead of the beat, with Page quite often. Great drummer, don't get me wrong.For Sale 2019:

He actually drank himself to death Joe. I am not aware of him ever having a dope problem.

It's true. Part of Zep's famous "driving sound" was due to the inherent sloppiness of the band. I love them, don't get me wrong people, but Page was (is) a sloppy ****. Bonham followed him around. John Paul Jones was the glue that held it all together.-Kevin

Galactic's drummer is Stanton Moore (A student of Vidacovich btw) and he is bad ****. Saw him with a band called Freqinox at an all night club during JazzFest this year. Absolutely smoking set at 3:00 am!

Sorry, just rushing and I love Stanton (to o much food at lunch). I was in New Orleans for a while, roaming, around 1999. Saw one of my faves, Allen Toussaint, at Jazz Fest with other notables. I'd love to come back someday...is the music scene still strong?For Sale 2019:

I used to know Allen pretty well. Had a steady gig as a house engineer at Tippitina's in the Quarter in the mid 90's and he played every Thursday night. Nice guy.
The music scene is coming back and has evolved slightly from what it used to be like for so long (See: Trombone Shorty). But I have a deep love affair with N.O and it's music. Maybe we could meet up at Jazzfest next year!
