My picks are from the same band, Chicago. Terry Kath on guitar and Danny Seraphine on drums. True craftsmen.
I do not know her name, but the drummer from Lez Zeppelin (all girl Zep tribute band) is a BEAST with forearms larger than some people's thighs. And boy can she beat drums. Her rhythm is good, too.
But why the obsession with strength? Another of my favorite drummers was Ron Bushy from Iron Butterfly. Iconic since he had the Inna Gadda Vida drum solo that everyone (including me) was tapping out on their school desks in 1969 and 70. But after playing it live he was so drained he had to be carried off the stage. He was so emaciated he looked anorexic. But he was a GREAT drummer.
That's a shame. Slayer was one of the great thrash metal bands of the 80s. There's also Yngwie Malmsteen. Michael Schenker was also up there, now that I think about it--Scorpions and UFO are some of the best hard rock out of the late seventies and early eighties. lol Now that I think about it, metal seems to have peaked in 1984.
And who hasn't heard of Neil Peart? (Had to go back and edit out stupid autocorrect vagaries) Rush is so iconic, especially Subdivisions. Yeah, that's right. I just made you start hearing those synth stacks playing out the intro. lol
Yeah - the only metal I listened to then was of the Christian genre: Barren Cross, Stryper, Bloodgood, etc.
I knew I picked the same drummer as another poster. I think he's still around Jethro.
Now that really hurts. Doing an ominous song without the ominous part is not a great idea, Lol.
Gives you an appreciation for how Pink Floyd could ever pull songs like that off... cuz this ain't it.
I dont know much about drummers but for guitarists i dont who my favourites are and i think are greatest. Eric Clapton. Stevie Ray Vaughn, Lindsay Buckingham, BB King, Steve Vai. John Mayer.
I dont know there is too many. Everyone to there own i guess. Drummers i like Dave Grohl, Phil Collins, Chad Smith i think they good.

Every great player has someone who has inspired them, does not mean they a better players, but many humble themselves and will say that about someone they look up to as being better than them because there music has inspired them so that makes them greater, so i guess for Hendrix it was Terry Kath who inspired him with his style or in some way.
Im not sure who it is but i will have a look.

There is many great musicians out there way better than many stars, they just havent sold out and are just not famous.
There is probably someone whos been living in there mothers basement for like 60 years just ripping out the meanest songs and guitar solos and no one even knows them. Lol. Then you get some rich and famous star whos like just a good standard player.

What? No Phil Keaggy? Or Jimi Hendrix?
IMO the most influential guitarist is Andre Segovia. He took a folk instrument (despised by the Classical music listeners) and developed a classical technique, transcribed lute and other classical works and made the guitar accepted by the classical audience.
Everyone says Jimi Hendrix, even he was amazing in every way hes been overrated and placed on a pedistal bevause Hendrix is always mentioned as the grestest or one of the greatest so i didnt add him. He can be humbled for once. Lol.
