Never heard of him, looked him up, will have to look and see if there is anything out there.... Saw a rolling stone rating of top 100, had Buddy Rich at 15, seems a little low to me, figured he would be top 5 for sure... I will leave my vote until later... I am not really into drummers, I am a guitar guy, hence why I really am into the blues... Rating the best etc... Is so subjective, that's why I always just say in top 5, my guy guitar'wise is EC...

He is one of the greatest, but absolute best? No, not really.
