Who do you think is the worlds best drummer among this ten.

1. Buddy Rich

Born - 19/1917 | Nationality - American | Genre - Jazz/Swing

Buddy Rich is thought by many to be the best jazz drummer ever, and many more consider him to be the best in any genre. Period. Starting at a very young age, Buddy performed with some of the best swing and jazz groups in the world including his own group The Buddy Rich Orchestra.

His technique was impeccable and his speed and one handed roll were simply out of this world. He could play some of the cleanest, crispest rolls i've ever heard, and he made it look easy.

Suprisingly, Buddy never practiced outside of live performances and never took any formal drum lessons. But, that didn't stop him from developing extraordinary creativity, flair, and becoming a master of improvised drum solos. In drum battles he would often overshadow even great players like Gene Krupa who went as far to say that Buddy was "The greatest drummer ever to have drawn breath."

His contribution to the drumming world and his influence on new generations of players is huge. He is definately one of the best drummers we've ever seen, and he's a worthy No.1 on our best drummers in the world ever list.
