Larry Mullen Jnr of U2 - U2 were initially called %u2018The Larry Mullen Band%u2019, showing Mullen%u2019s fantastic gift for modesty. During the band%u2019s %u2018Pop%u2019 era, Mullen%u2019s renowned hard-hitting drum work retained the band%u2019s rock roots. However an untimely back problem and tendonitis led Mullen to allow The Edge his hip-hop and dance-inspired LP with a dominance of drum machines. Surely no lasting back damage was worth losing that fight, Larry.

- 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!
