He is my #2 all time best drummer behind Appice.

Carmine or Vinnie? Both outstanding.

Funny you should mention that: there is a youtube “drum battle” between them!

I saw Vinnie in Dayton, OH at a drum clinic. No, I don’t think he’s close to Carmine. Not nearly as inventive. But very good.

On my top five also are Prairie Prince of the Tubes, the late Cozy Powell, and Bonham #5. However . . .

Ringo is in a class by himself. Not in the same universe of technique as any in the top 20, but his inventiveness and ability to play every kind of beat or rhythm in 1962-4 is unmatched. I learned to drum listening to Ringo. He could play waltzes, cha cha, backbeats, but never really liked to solo.
