Famous Rock Drummers
Session drummer Jeff Anthony returns to shine a light on some of his drumming heroes. Here, we look at the patterns and hitting styles used by some of rock music's most distinctive percussion players, including Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters (and Nirvana and Probot and occasionally from Queens of the Stone Age), John Bonham from Led Zeppelin, Stewart Copeland from the Police, Vinnie Colaiuta of Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage and countless other albums, and Neil Peart from Rush.Recorded and edited by Tyler Brown at Bellboy Recording in Richmond CA. (20 mins.)

Hi guys,
Drummer here, love the podcast.
I hate to be one of those nerdy guys, but you guys are among the many who continue to mispronounce Neil Peart's name. "Purt" is the common assumption, but his name is actually pronounced "Peer-t."
Kudos on the selections but are you planning a whole separate podcast on Keith Moon, or was he simply too challenging to define in traditional drumming terms? :-)

And there you go! Like most of the other Pandora Presents sessions, this one is totally NOT lame. This was quite informative!

Great episode! What an awesome resource! Amazing job replicating the styles of the various drummers, and presenting them in such a clear and easy to understand way. Thanks for this.

I don't know if he was a Rock Drummer, but I've always thot of Buddy Rich, as the greatest drummer ever. Then of course, Gene Krupa. Any of Buddy Rich's work?? Thanks

I would include Carter Beauford from Dave Matthews Band. He's done some amazing drumming.

No discussion about drummers is complete without mentioning Alan White and Bill Brufford. Actually they should be mentioned first!!!!

Excellent information and good sound. I must say Pandora has the streaming experience dialed in for QOS with no dropouts.
