50. Brian Chase of Yeah Yeah Yeahs – With YYYs’ raw, lo-fi punk and only Nick Zinner’s thrash and Karen O’s caterwauling to accompany him musically, you’d expect Long Islander Brian to be pretty up on his game. Able to move swiftly from back to centre stage with his work- compare ‘Maps’ with ‘Pin’- Chase’s pounding, emotive drumming is one of the founding characteristics of one of the greatest indie triumvirates.

- Ginger should have been a HELL of a lot higher up on this list. But yay for Keith :)
- Although I’m a huge Beatles, Stones, Cream, etc. fan, I agree with alot of the picks but I think Charlie Watts should be in the top ten!! He’s not only one of the greatest ”Rock ’n’ roll” drummers (even though he is quoted as saying ”I hate Rock ’n’ roll”, but he is also one of the top Jazz drummers from his era. If you can tell me of another drummer who has sat through 30 hr. Rock sessions (In the Seventies) and is as steady as a drum
remi, brendan canty should be on there
- Jim Keltner, Jim Gordon, Hal Blaine, Trey Cool, Pat Wilson would all be in my personal top 10. Meg White and the one-armed guy? Ridiculous!
