well for me, like you guys, alot have influenced me, mike portnoy, stewart copeland, travis barker, clive burr (!!).

but for me, the ones that really HAVE influenced me is Mr Nicko McBrain!
Iron Maiden babyyy.

Well reason being, i really admire his incredibly superb single-pedal speed. in alot of maiden's songs, particularly from thier latest album, a matter of life and death, he shows his speed and attitude. really cool dude. and he's a very friendly dude. ooohhh i love him!.

i not gay ah. just admire him alot. =)

I was watching Foo Fighters Live At Wembley Stadium and I am reminded how great a drummer Dave Ghrol still is and what great voice Stephen Hawkins have when they did "Rock n Roll" with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones. Dave Ghrol was the one that made me want to rawk!

[AbeCunninghamWannabe]

Dave Grohl from Nirvana
Abe Cunningham from Deftones
Morgan Rose from Sevendust
Joey Jordison from Slipknot

[arkofmiracles]

i've listened to many bands but the drummers i like best are...

dream theater - mike portnoy
metallica - lars ulrich
joe satriani's band - jeff campitelli (first heard him in G3: Live In Denver)
avenged sevenfold - James "Jimmy" Owen Sullivan....The Rev...
Santana(1997) - Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez. I own a pair of his signature (Zildjian) sticks, one of the fastest and most precise sticks I've ever felt. Lightest too.

[Ryu_Lee]

1. Yoshiki (X Japan) -- Give me 5, zack11.
2. Joey Jordison (Slipknot)

The rest: Buddy Rich, Marco Minnemann, Jason Bittner (Shadows Fall), Yukihiro (L`Arc~en~Ciel) -- Give me 5 mel80, Shinya (Dir en Grey), Andy Rathbone (Mansun). Mike Portnoy is kinda more to technical side -- Odd time signature. >.<"

Mine's got to be:

Larry Mullen Jr. - U2
Keith Moon - The Who (Maybe Zak Starkey now)
Dom Howard - Muse
Chad Butler - Switchfoot
Chris Cester - Jet

It's the first time I heard someone like Dominic Howard. @.@" He seldom show off his techniques (although he's good at that). His speciality: Left-handed drummer! Just like the Deep Purple drummer. ^ ^"
