Another day, another list – this time it’s Gigwise.com’s 50 greatest drummers of all time. Apart from being ‘great’, it’s unclear what the criteria are. It’s no real surprise to see Bonham and Moon take the top spots but with Ringo Starr only just scraping in at number 43, you have to wonder…

Maybe they took John Lennon’s “he’s not even the best drummer in The Beatles” quip a bit too seriously. Anyway - horses, courses etc. Here’s the top ten…

10. Phil Collins – Genesis
9. Gene Krupa – Various jazz/big band
8. Carl Palmer – Emerson, Lake and Palmer/Asia
7. Rick Allen – Def Leppard
6. Buddy Rich – Various Jazz
5. Jimmy Chamberlin – The Smashing Pumpkins
4. Neil Peart – Rush
3. Danny Carey – Tool
2. Keith Moon – The Who
1. John Bonham – Led Zeppelin
