[spartacus1989]

Buddy Rich - He was Intelligent, Funny and fascinating to watch! BEST DRUMMER THAT EVER LIVED!

Mike Portnoy - The stick tricks really compliment what he is playing!

Thomas Lang - Stick Tricks, The faces he pulls and the fact he compliments any show, from Metal to Mainstream Pop

[Timekeep69]

Tommy Clufetos - Rob Zombie's drummer
Stet Howland - Former WASP drummer, now in Temple of Brutality

[That Guy]

Tommy Lee - I don't think I have seen a more entertaining drummer.

I go with that! Not necessarily the most technical entertainer.. but definately without a doubt the best showman. His solos are something else man. Every show I go to I think to myself.. "hows he gonna top that?" Yet he does, EVERYTIME.
