Classic Rock is what I listen to most (70&80s), so these drummers are from that era.

No in any particular order:

Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick: This guy is like a drum machine without missing a beat. The song Dream Police is good example of his drum work.


Myron Grombacher of Pat Benatar: He is kind of short, but when drumming he is bigger than life. The song Don’t Use Sex as a Weapon is good example of his work.


Mel Gaynor of Simple Minds: Big sound and hard beat, and rhythm to back it up The song Speed Your Love to Me will get your speakers cooking with drum beats.
