Favorite Rock & Roll Drummer
 

Neil Peart is my all time favorite rock n roll drummer.

Matt Cameron is a close second. Like all lists, hard to be considered completely inclusive. Google search has Cameron's wealth estimated at $70M. Dude plays 3+ hour shows night after night with Pearl Jam.

Neil Peart, Rush

How can questlove make double what mick fleetwood has? Maybe mick snorted all his...

Neil Peart
Carter Beauford

Neil Peart --- An inspiration for myself. Intelligent lyricist and author. Versatile and adaptive style of performance. Willingness to learn and trained with Freddie Gruber in the 1990s. Most important is his resilience as he has managed to move forward in life following the death of his daughter and first wife in 1997 - 1998.

Reminds me of one of my favorite music jokes:

Why is a drum solo like a sneeze? You can tell it's coming but you can't do anything to stop it.
