26 thoughts on “Roger Taylor Names His Three Favourite Drummers

  • How can no one have mentioned Bev Bevan. The Move's Shazam album should be on every drummer's turntable. B. J. Wilson. And Mark Unspellable [Bryznicki or something?) of Big Country. When he toured with Procol Harum he took my breath away as old Terry Bozzio had.

  • I think it may have been Roger who once said 'drummers are frustrated guitarists who need more volume!'
    Rock on Roger.

  • Taylor is a true great, riding a wave created by his idols but rather like Queen as a whole, he goes underrated when in truth his legacy in bringing many approaches into a beautiful whole actually surpasses all three individually. He was one of the first major branches from the Bonzo/Moon/Baker/Mitchell tree trunk from where many wonderful players sprouted. Rather like Neil Peart and Steve Smith were to the Buddy Rich / Gene Krupa / Art Blakey tree trunk. Brian May occupies a similar underrated position amongst the Guitar greats pantheon. Freddie on the other hand is perhaps more the Hendrix of rock vocals – an original phenomenon.

  • Neil Peart, your favourite drummer's favorite drummer!
    Well, maybe not all the time, Unfortunately

    He was the most dedicated and hardest worker 100%
    Relentless!!!!

  • Roger was so incredibly good! Unique and cutting edge, had his own style and and orchestrated his drum parts with such grace and taste. My favourites from that era are; Roger Taylor of Queen, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, Mitch Mitchell of Jimi Hendrix Expericence, Aynsley Dunbar (studio), Ian Paice of Deep Purple, Mick Tucker of Sweet (underrated), Paul Thompson of Roxy Music (underrated) and Brian Downey of Thin Lizzy. There were obviously many more brilliant UK drummers in that era but the ones I've listed are the UK drummers that meant the most to me…

  • ????….great list of iconic Rock drummers. The discussions (arguments) will never end….
    1) add in Ginger Baker (who
    influenced Bonham greatly); and
    2) although an earlier era, Ringo Star is far better than most people realize; and finally….
    3) almost an “unknown” now, but absolutely incredible technically and perfect for the unique position in pop/rock in which the great band “CHICAGO” existed – Danny Seraphine.

    Honorable mention:
    Karen Carpenter ????
    ????….yeah, I said it!
    Not so sure? ….do your own research of her career.
    She even beat out John Bonham in rankings by a major publication back around 1974 (give or take a year or so) – a misguided ranking, I think we’d all agree, but it says a lot Karen Carpenter’s abilities. Even Buddy Rich complimented her technical skills.

  • Hell of a way to milk out 60 seconds of Roger Taylor talking by repeating stuff over and over and over and over.
