Top 25 Favorite Drummers countdown thread! (Number 1 & 2 Up!)

[ReaperKK]

Alright so with Kev's blessing I'm going to run the favorite drummer countdown. I'm going to start at 25 and see how we do with getting lists.

Please PM your list from 25 to 1 by EOD on May 20th. I'll take them and come up with a cumulative list, the rules will be the same as Kev's previous threads:

The rules:
- Drummers must be listed from 25 to 1 in order (in reverse order), with no ties.  No having three drummers at number 12 or anything like that.  DO NOT list your drummers with the points total. List them in your order (I will figure out the points on my end).
-Any list submitted with the drummers not numbered will be ignored.
-Anyone wanting to submit a list must do so by the end of day, Saturday, May 20th.  I will then begin the countdown shortly thereafter.
-The list will be tallied numerically in a simple way. On each list, whatever drummer is at number 1 gets 25 points, number 2 gets 24 points, number 3 gets 23 points, etc.
-List each drummer by their stage name
-PROOFREAD YOUR LISTS BEFORE SENDING THEM.  Any list with the same drummer mentioned twice will be not be counted.

Feel free to post in this thread as well that you have PM'd me, if for no other reason than to bump this back up for others who may want to participate who may not have seen the thread yet.

This ranking engine link below works great if you have too much difficulty making one on your own. You can input all of the drummers you want, and then you pick your favorite of every 1-on-1 matchup and then it spits out your list.

[lonestar]

Let's goooooooo


Got a preliminary list ready.... Gonna give it a bit to see how it matures. Also may end up adding Paulina Villarreal after seeing The Warning tomorrow night 

[Mladen]

This should be fun, I'll dive into it this week hopefully. 

[HOF]

Nice! Will send in the near future.

[romdrums]

In.

[twosuitsluke]

I've shortlisted to 29, let's do this.

[TAC]

I'm up to 19.

[lonestar]

I'm up to 19.

I can loan you a few if need be...

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

I've been going through my music library alphabetically just to make sure I don't miss anyone. I got through C and already have a preliminary list of 20....

[Metro]

List sent!

[Stadler]

In.

Dude, no foreshadowing!!!!  HAHAHA

(I can tell you he will be VERY high on my list).

[lonestar]

Forgot about him...

[TAC]

Who is it?

[lonestar]

Really?

[TAC]

Nah.

[Lonk]

Who is it?

You can hear that gif 

[TAC]

I need three more to get to 25..

[pg1067]

Cool.  I'll give this a go.

[Adami]

I need three more to get to 25..

I’m a drummer. Just sayin.

[TAC]

Ok, well I have Romdrums, Puppies, and now you to close it out.

[devieira73]

I'm in! I already listed 30 in 10 minutes, from the top of my head and in no particular order (about 17 of them I'm sure will make MY final list).

[lonestar]

With the exception of my #3, pretty sure most of my top 10 will show.

[Stadler]

I've actually heard Romdrums; he might get a mention (I think he got a 10/10 in the roulette I ran).

[Adami]

DON'T YOU DARE UNTIL YOU HEAR ME!

[LithoJazzoSphere]

I made a tentative list a few days ago and have 32 really strong candidates based on past lists I've made.  I'll have to dig deeper and think about who I might be overlooking to expand it, and then narrow it back down.  Those names will probably be on my honorable mentions list anyway. 

[Elite]

Sitting this one out, but I will follow it probably.

[twosuitsluke]

So I've got my list up to 36, and I'm pretty sure my top 25 is solidified. Just been going through some 'top 10/25/100 drummers of all time/today' lists, just to make sure I've not missed anyone glaringly obvious.

What I find fucking CRAZY is that I can't find my #2 on a single list. As a fairly new and up and coming drummer in a prog band, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. But also, no drummer has ever blown me away and had me completely ENTHRALLED me the way this guy has. I really think he has it all, and my mind generally can't comprehend what he is doing most of the time.

If he doesn't make the final list here I will be surprised. I won't mention his name obviously but if anyone wants to PM me and discuss who they think it might be, go right ahead.

[jingle.boy]

I shall endeavour to actually submit a list this time.

[HOF]

Have my list, may still tweak the order a bit but think the 25 are set.

[jingle.boy]

I'm at 24 without even really thinking too hard.

40 after scanning a couple of lists for reminders of names that slipped my mind.  Haven't even gone thru my library to review some of my unheralded faves.

Show off.

[Fonzie]

The ranking engine gives a list 1 to 25+
Is there an easy way to reverse the numbers so that 25 is listed first
( I’m a relic)

[Mladen]

List sent. That was tough, but fun.

Copy the list on a blank excel spreadsheet. Highlight the list including the numbers and resort it highest to lowest.

And feel the shame of getting tech advice from...me.

[Lonk]

I wasn't sure if I could get a list together, but have 19 listed so far. I can find 6 more, I hope
