- The order is determined alphabetically. There are absolutely missing items in the list. Jazz music is a long-standing music genre. Therefore, you can write the names of drummer who you think should be in this list in the comment section.
I promise to everyone who comments on this video that I will prepare a video before I die, including all the names written in the comments. 🤞
don't forget me, kojok
Don’t forget Mitch Mitchell
go for it
Chick Webb, Jo Jones, Cozy Cole, Sid Catlett, Baby Dodds, Zutty Singleton, Alvin Burroughs, Jimmy Crawford, Lionel Hampton, Sonny Payne, Louie Bellson, Max Roach, Sam Woodyard, Grady Tate, Buddy Rich....
Yeah, I love all those especially the early players!
I fully expected to see Joe Morello in there.
I totally agree..................................................................
Joe Morello and Lenny White?
Joe Morello not the best but among the bests, love him.
Art blakey
Joe Morello was responsible for the first jazz album to sell over a million copies because of his drum solo. Papa Jo Jones could make his drums talk. Fastest is not always the best. It's all about the music.
No puedo creer que no hayas incluido a Gene Krupa y Joe Morello ... es imperdonable
Sid Catlett. Kenny Clarke. Roy Haynes. Bellson. Philly Joe. Papa Jo. Tony Allen. Sunny Murray. Ed Blackwell, of course. So many.
I think here is the best List!!!
Roy Haynes! I heard one solo from him on an album and it changed by understanding of drums forever. Yes!
Max Roach ,buddy Rich , Tony Williams , Billy Cobham , Toni Allen ,Clyde stubblefield , Mike Clarke, Lenny White , Ginger Baker ❤
and Phil Seamen !
@@JurSic1 yes an outstanding drummer in Britain set standards
Making lists is fun. Reading other people's lists is less fun.
That's why I watch them instead.
that's funny
For what it's worth in regard to my personal #1 drummer, Joe Morello, he was John Bonham's favorite drummer which is why he had so many jazz licks with polyrhythms in his rock playing. How could Joe be left out of this list?
So glad to see Tony Williams in there. Seven Steps to Heaven is amazing.b
Where's Joe Morello?
Was going to ask the same. And some place for old Gene Kruppa
Hey, they can't be all on there. Besides, he said HIS favorite drummers.
Max Roach on "St. Thomas."
I just suggest four additions (in alphabetical order): Curt Cress, Jon Hiseman, Gene Krupa and Alphonse Mouzon. In 1978 I watched and listened to a monster show of top drummers in the Stadthalle in Wuppertal, Germany. It started with Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia featuring her Husband Jon Hiseman on drums. In one of his solos he kept the tempo on his bassdrums, slowed down with his left hand and speeded up with his right. He seemed to be absolutely free. I don't have to describe the features of the 2nd and the 3rd bands, 'cause they exposed the talents of Tony Williams and Billy Cobham.
And... over the past 40 plus years - Jeff Hamilton
Thanks for mentioning him
He is so tasteful, a real musician.
alphabetical or not, it's fitting to start w/ art blakey--he's the king.
And on a very basic kit!!,not a lot of doodads.
All are extraordinary drummers! Some very notables are missing. Max Roach is inventive, Steve Smith has the chops, but Buddy Rich still stands out in this list.
I blew a stereo speaker listening to Art Blakey . He was a force of nature . Salsa /Afro-Cuban drummers Ray Barretto and Mongo Santamaria should be on this list . I think Jaki Liebezeit is also an insane drummer of Jazz tradition but played in the band Can .
my brother went to high school with Steve Gadd, when I was about 8 or 9 I went to my brother high schools music festival and Steve Gadd was playing out in front of the school orchestra, from that day on I knew I had to be a drummer
Dave Weckl, the summary of one hundred years of drums.
Art Blakey, Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Roy Haynes, Kenny Clarke, Jack DeJohnette, Tony Williams, Billy Higgins, Billy Cobham, Al Foster
Hearing all these drummers alongside each other it really struck me how Erskine stood out, to my ears anyway, as a uniquely subtle player, whose solo playing never verges on tiring listening, which even the greatest drummers are guilty of (that's why people hate drum solos).
isnt he playing buddy rich?
Certainly one of the most musical ones of the lot.
I was reading this comment and couldn't see the video, but I listening to the video, and I immediately knew when Buddy Rich came in.
THAT'S how much he stands out!
One of my favourite is surely Buddy Rich, his left hand probably the faster ever, but for the color and complexity of drumming I like a lot Omar Hakim, which maybe can be in the best 20.... ?
You cant' include Weckl and Gadd without Vinnie Colaiuta.
Yep! Quite true!! 🥁
Good point! I'd take Vinnie over Gadd, now that you mention it.
Roy Haynes?? 😉
Mr. Tony Williams.
Nice compilation, thanks very lot! But I personally miss Alan Dawson.
No list that fails to include Kenny Clarke is a list worth considering
Klook lives!
@@lastknowngood0 I had the great pleasure of a lesson with him
I heard that!!! One of the 1st guy to say: “ Do I really need to have the kick drum counting 1,2,3,4, all the time? Can’t the bass player do that? Changed the entire game!! Max Roach as well! 🥁🥁
Really enjoyable solos...All of them!
I wasn't even looking at the screen, and I already knew it was Buddy Rich at #3 from the pure speed and accuracy.
I love a lot of new-school guys: Antonio Sanchez, Brian Blade, Greg Hutchinson, Nasheet Watts, and basically anyone that's played drums for Dave Holland :)
Bill Stewart is far out. I could listen to Al Foster and Aaron Scott non stop. I saw both of them live Foster with Rollins and Henderson; Scott with Tyner.
Nice picks but many missed but truly there's so many fantastic drummers out there past and present drum set playing has evolved so much over the years such as music itself but that tribal thing as never left it reflects society and growth of the human spirit and creative great job I enjoyed your vidio keep playing have fun
I love Art Taylor's playing.
This list feels like it was made by a rock drummer who just discovered jazz. Jojo mayer and steve gadd jazz drummers ?🤔🤔. You're missing Philly Joe Jones, Kenny Clarke, Roy haynes, Jimmy Cobb, Billy higgins, Art taylor, etc.
i think gadd deserves to be in there, even just based on his work with chick corea
@@scottdouglas935 Yeah I guess he is technically a jazz/rock drummer but he is not one of the first that comes to mind when I think of jazz
@@aidanschram9652 As you say, you can't point out the shortcomings of a list to someone who is not familiar with jazz history.
Amen. Half this list had me saying wtf?
I couldn't make a greatest list with just 12 ,there are so many great jazz drummer's out there that deserve to be on (the list) and some of these are not really jazz drummer's sorry , but nice clips anyways🥁🥁🥁
Absolutely Legendary
Hard to believe Smith wasted that extraordinary talent on Journey.
Not wasted,making great music, album,sell millions of tickets, brilliant songs, a superb guitarist and sublime singer with a fantastic keyboardist, play 50,years,please to billions on air,
Couldn’t agree more
Hullo from Scotland, white guy raised by a Navy family... My Grandad loved jazz and swing even before the movies brought some to Scotland, Pops was a real-time-wartime survivor.. y'know? was a teenager listening to US and French Resistance radio in the engine room of a frigate.. raised all his grandkids with old 78' rpm vinyl classics like Bille H, NC COle, Jaques Brel.. Nina Simone .. excellent list of drummers !! these are the peeps who REALLY invented things like funk, techno, hip hop and house. .. even METAL owes it's legacy to the Jazz drummers' innovation through ''sir'' Gadd of the infinite fractal riff
Great choices, however you forgot Gene Krupa, Louis Bellson, Sonny Emory, Vinnie Coluata
Sonny Emory is amazing.
Great list! All drummers I admire and each are different!
Lenny White
Marvin Smitty Smith would be on my list.
Joe Morello....the goat, period.
Drummers know.
Da fastest left hand EVER....
Nope.
Buddy Rich had THE fastest left hand EVER!!!
Buddy Rich is THE 🐐
i started playing drums when i was 8. i’m 54 now. Dave Weckl is… in my opinion… the bedt drummer i’ve ever heard.
Thank you!
Okay. Thanks for this. Some writer once said, the purpose of lists like this is to disagree with them. I would only not include Gadd. He's one of the 3 greatest studio drummers of all time (w/ Hal Blaine and Jim Keltner), but he's not a jazz drummer. I'd add Billy Higgins or Joe Jones or Papa Jo Jones. The rest, yes. Delighted to see Dave Weckl there, who is my current fave. Thank you!
Aloha great list mahalo for sharing 🌈
Weckl, Gadd and Smith are great drummers, no question, but they're drummers who play jazz occasionally( today's jazz greats are more the likes of Jeff Watts, Bill Stewart, Brian Blade etc). And if the likes of Papa Jo and Kenny Clarke aren't making the all-time list, then the list isn't worth taking seriously imo.
In fact, you could narrow the all-time greats down to just two or three ; players who had such a profound influence on the instrument, played in such a way, that changed whole concepts of playing : Kenny Clarke, who is credited as being the first to have put the time on the ride cymbal, and Elvin, who broke away from crunching 2&4 on the hihat with a pretty static ride cymbal pattern to playing in a freer, more broken way, accenting the ands on the ride, with the other three limbs supporting the ride as he saw fit. Both Kenny and Elvin really were pioneers of the instrument.
I'm partial to Krupa, who to me was way ahead of his time. He Hadn't the degree of technical abilities of a Riche, but his thump was guttural & had a Rock feel before there was Rock. Bonham & Baker follow in what ever order. I say this if the criteria were for both solos & creatively blending during collaboration. I always lean toward the collaborative, because that's the basis for any composition. If the criteria was for solos alone there are tons of great soloists you could argue are the best.
I've heard or seen many of these drummers but in opinion and not as widely known of many of these is Chicago drummer of the 50's through 90's and maybe still today is this name Curtis Prince he played with Odell Brown and the Organizers in the 60's.
the world has so many good(sorry great) drummers each with a unique style...
I wish the recording of Billy Cobham was better. That guy I listened to on his solo album and he sounded like thunder.
Rudiiments, rudiments everywhere in this and the expansion, interpretation and improvising of them and beyond! I think it was in Elvin Jones obit where I read he practiced 8 hours a day!!
Eight hours a day for 10 years from the age of 14 to 24. I believe I heard him say this.
Any list like this should include Louie Bellson. I mean the guy invented the double bass drum technique! What about Gene Krupa...... Not a thought out list.
Each one of these drummers signed my my 16" calf hide drumhead, started in 1966 with Gene Krupa. Here are the others:

Shit dude that's amazing. Do you have a picture of it something you could upload??
Of course many are not drummers but what an impressive list of sigs!
Oh my God it's just wanderful thank you for this 🔥🔥🔥
Gerry Hemingway, Andrew Cyrille, Makaya Ntshoko, Louis Moholo-Moholo, Hamid Drake, Al Foster...
What is the song name played by Peter Erskine? It's superb.
Excellence.
Senri kawaguchi needs adding.
And she's gorgeous...
Gene Krupa
Wow thanks im 66 and did not know what a thoughtvi did on drummers, a new expieriance for sure.my favorite 3 rock drumners are ginger baker,john bonham. Anf neil peart
Nice stuff A lot of innovators at the time I have my favorites but when it comes down to it no one here is in the league of Buddy Rich Things evolved but never will u see Buddies special gift
Tony Williams
rodney holmes,joe morello,gene kruppa,roy haynes...
You left the most tasty drummer of all off your listPhiladelphia's pride and joy. The late....
Lex Humphries
Lex Humphries is one of the best among the underrated drummers.
@@零一堂-j4n Yes he was and he played with so many masters. Coltrane, Yusef Lateef,, Dizzy, Wes Montgomery.,etc..adding flavor and tasty licks to them all.
I'm disappointed that Ginger Baker didn't make the list.
Ainsley Dunbar while with Zappa on Waka Jawaka & The Grand Wazoo! My only question (which I'm not going to eat!) is whether his playing on those LPs were from charts by Zappa or if he was totally responsible for creating those drum parts???
nice choices. I wouldn't eliminate anyone but I would say you could very easily have brought a better example of Elvin's genius than that snippet from 3 Card Monty. I would also say Ed Blackwell belongs in the mix.
Jojo Mayer! Amazing drummer but always looked like "Screech" from Saved by the Bell. 😂
Jabali...Billy Hart
Well, you got SOME of them right.
Good List! Would've loved some snippets of them grooving....
Where is Vinnie, Alan Dawson, Terry Bozzio and a host of others?
What a fantastic video ! Thanks you just made my day better!
My first thought about this list was that he sure is missing some of the all-time greats from his best drummers list... But the list is his "Favorite 12 Best Jazz Drummers", so for that, its a great list of drummers. I'm not familiar with a few of these guys, like Gadd and Mayer. In their place I would add Roy Haynes and Gene Krupa. There are a few others I would add from the 50s and 60s if I were doing a list of my own.
My best is Tony Williams for the sound .
12 ? Among many others. 👍👍👍
Billy Cobham & Max Roach have always been top favorites of mine.... but that's not saying that they are the best... just favorites of mine personally.... Buddy Rich also...
You can’t have a list without Chick Webb probably the best of his generation and a few others
Smith, journey
Dave Weckl...excellent
Reachin for it with that head nod get it get it Billie..:)
thanks for posting but the right title is: 12 best drummer of all time for me.
What are the 12 best drummers you?
To me Jo Jones sort of invented Swing drumming when he was with Basie. Krupa popularized the drum solo. For the double bass, it's Bellson. For timing, Joe Morello. For obscurity, Purnell Rice, Danny Barcelona. But, at the end of the day, #1 is always Buddy Rich.
also sonny payne,sam woodyard,rufus'speedy'jones
Tony Williams > Buddy Rich
Buddy Rich is the fastest but the least musical imo. Very little groove, very little subtely, a lot of very fast notes.
All off the chain !🤘
and 13 PERCIO SAPIA
Groove master
No Joe Morello?!
Some here do not belong. Where is Joe Jones, Roy Haynes, Joe Morello, Antonio Sanchez, Philly Joe Jones and Eddie Gladden?
Update : Billy Kilson Nate Smith Dafnis Prieto Eric Harland Dennis Chambers.....and....and....
Are those broadcasters? Art Blakey used they were very sought after then as well
I like that most of the parts of this video doesn't show any jazz jam or execution.
All great drummers no argument, but with the possible exception of Steve Gadd, they are solo specialists IMO. I think that one of the best drummers for his musicality, improvisation, and ability to listen and react to his band is Bill Stuart.
Charly Antolini.
Good list. Please let me nominate to the vast and wonderful recommendations among the comments - JEFF PORCARO. Listen to him playing on Pink Floyd's Mother, apart from his amazing work with TOTO.
What about Rufus Speedy Jones? he was a great drummer and you didn't mention him.
love it!!
Damn Steve Smith is amazing!!!!
How about my cousin Joe le Barbera? Ace.x
Where is Vinnie?
👏👏👏👏👏👏
