One of the greatest drummers, period? Of all time?

91. The best drummer is a guy you never heard of (no, it's not Nicko McBrain)

His name is Josh Freese, and he's a session cat.

Here's him playing:

Here's his discography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Freese_discography

This guy could be playing post-punk in Los Angeles on Monday night, get a phone call "yeah, this is Toby Keith...we're in a bind, man; we're recording at Abbey Road; we decided to jam a little at a pub and our drummer exploded on stage; could you be here in 24 hours to help us finish the record?"...he'd fly over there, record his part in two takes and be back in LA playing better-quality music by Friday.

It's very hard to be an expert drummer in one genre of music; it's damn near impossible to be an expert drummer in all genres of music, but Josh Freese is up to the challenge.
