"Rock" is a pretty loose term. 

Enjoying Styx over 21 pilots is certainly a choice. As is thinking hating on 21 pilots is cool. 

 

 

Gil Bang is cooking here. 

I don’t think it’s cool to hate on them. They just make bad music.

Also - whoever said it it should have been "favorite drummers". My bad. 

I don't care about the drummer from fucking Tool. I like Tool but thats not what I was going for. 

Then what were you going for? You asked about the best rock drummer, many people think that’s the “drummer from fucking tool”.

I’m not even a huge tool fan but he certainly fits your thread topic.

I haven't listened to Styx since 1980, but I can attest that they kick Twenty One Pilots' asses even today.  Does BTS have a great drummer, too?

Here’s an interesting question, maybe not rock exactly. Where does someone like Jamie XX fit? Is he a “drummer”? When XX plays live he does all kinds of percussion including traditional drums and a drum pad. Always think he’s cool to watch.

I meant like physical drumming. But I adore Jamie XX. Granted he isnt half as talented as a group like Styx.

It's never too late to learn something.  This is the guy you've been scoffing at, learning a very tricky Foos song in real time.  Sure, he's not as good as your boy toy, but hey, we can't all be Bonham.

Does he nail it completely?  Nope.  That would be virtually impossible after one listening pass, there are too many difficut timing patterns in the arrangement.  He does an admirable job, though, and I think it's pretty obvious that the guy has skill for days.  Others are free to disagree.

Drummers are insane.

In my rookie year with Cavaliers I had to travel to the first few shows on the drum bus, as a drum line wasn't big enough to fill a bus but the horn line was too big.  Gah, it was a nightmare.  Sticks wailing on seats all over the place,  "oh yeah, try THIS" exclamations for hours, no sleep for me.  Eventually I landed on the horn bus which was Nirvana by comparison.
