Greatest Drummer Tournament

[joannajewsom]

Fuck yeah. Give me your top 20. To keep things from getting too cluttered, a drummer needs to receive 3 nominations to be included in the tournament, so don't leave off a fave if someone's mentioned them.

Go

btw sorry for failing the guitarist tournament, anyone else can start it up if they would like; kind of forgot about it and got busy.

Unfortunately I don't know anything about drummers :/

[telefunker]

i know they're invariably the biggest fucking nuisances in the studio..

having said that a significantly disproportionate amount of my mates are drummers.. the best of the lot has a lot of respect for a guy named adam deitch..
