I'm not saying this dude is the best at it currently - but I've been digging back into this Twenty One Pilots album this weekend and God damn he's impressive. Josh Dun is his name. Doesn't do anything that blows you away but he has a knack for rhythm and basically just always killing the track. 

Couple of highlights but I'd encourage y'all to check out the full album:

 

Who else do you guys like that is younger or making their best stuff right now?

He reminds me of Travis Barker in a good way. Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is one of the greatest drum albums of all time and there's some vibes from that here.

Mike Mangino? Portnoy? Matt Cameron?

What is best? It can’t be measured - bonham and Peart were not interchangeable.

The dude from Styx (lives in Austin) is about as proficient as it gets. Dude is a monster.

Yeah, I mean it's the same as asking best guitarist or whatever, can't answer it.

The answer is Chad Smith.  He's getting a little long in the tooth, but the mofo has been laying it down for decades and still plays his ass off.

That's definitely not the answer.

You should be talking g about him. Hes not the original drummer and he’s a fucking monster.

Okay bro.

Okay bro. 

You asked for the next rock drummers right now. I would argue he is one of the best right now. Styx is still active. He’s been on tour and doing studio work. He’s a legit candidate.

Jimmyjazz - chamberlin is legit AF.

so, a guy that's, in certain people's opinion, the best drummer working, and he's playing with fucking Styx?   Like...this spectacular drummer couldn't replace Taylor with the Foos?  Styx is the best gig he can find?  He's back there slamming away on "Babe", "Grand Illusion", "Lady", and "Mr. Roboto"?  Are you assholes kidding me?

Maybe he knew that Dave couldn’t keep his dick in his pants. And that Styx only caught a bad rap because most critics are cynical assholes.

He named three other guys before he got to Sucherman.  Try the fucking decaf.

By the way, Steve Smith played for Journey and he was also a beast.
