It always depends on what fans nominate for those lists... some have one opinion..others.. diffrent...
Yoshiki is an awesome drummer.. and my personal favorite drummers? Roger Taylor, Lars Ulrich, Yoshiki, and Phil Collen (Def Leppard)
ahh some clarifications: drummer of Def Leppard is Rick Allen. Due to an automobile accident when he was only 21,
he plays drums with his right arm only, that's from 1985 till today, they have concert tours
and I heard Japan is included for October 3 night shows.
Phil Collins was the former drummer of Genesis which recently held a reunion concert.
It's so nice to see Yoshiki in that category. He really is one of the bests. Although some of the best drummers
(in my opinion) were not listed there. The likes of Keith Moon, Simon Phillips, Peter Criss, Dave Grohl before he
founded Foo Fighters, Jack Irons, Tommy Lee and more... but my favorite is... Ginger Baker of Cream. At 66, he
still played his solo Toad at the Cream's reunion concert although on a much slower phase. So I guess he didn't
have to nail his two bass drums to the floor like he used to do when doing lives back then .
Oh how I wish and hope to watch Yoshiki still play drums at 66, it won't matter if it's in a slower phase. *sadist*
edit: I don't think younger generation would appreciate these oldies *winks*
