 GREATEST DRUMMERS

It’s hard to imagine any song with a driving beat without a drum kit powering the overall sound. This list pays tribute to the drummers whose work has had the greatest impact and influence on rock and pop music.

TONY THOMPSON

As drummer for the group Chic, Tony Thompson helped create the sound of disco and hip hop. His drumming is a key feature of the countless samples of that group’s catalogue that have been recycled on new tracks (including Sugarhill Gang’s “Rappers Delight”). As part of the Chic organization, Thompson played on numerous projects helmed by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, including the #1s: “Le Freak” and “Good Times” (Chic), “Like A Virgin” (Madonna), “Let’s Dance” (David Bowie) and “Upside Down” (Diana Ross). He also later joined as drummer for The Power Station which featured Robert Palmer and some members of Duran Duran, scoring the smash “Some Like It Hot”. For some time, Thompson was seriously considered as a replacement for the deceased John Bonham in Led Zeppelin.

PHIL COLLINS

He may not be the most influential nor the best drummer, but Phil Collins is arguably one of the best known. It’s important to note that he resided in the shadows, behind his drum kit while Peter Gabriel was the frontman for the English group Genesis. When the latter quit, a fruitless search for a replacement ended with the group decision that Collins was the best option. Of course, he continued as drummer but was thrust into the spotlight as the voice of Genesis. Collins’ profile extended even further when he launched his solo career in the early 1980s. He became an in-demand session drummer (eg. on Frida’s ‘I Know There’s Something Going On”). Among his most revered example of drumming prowess is Collins’ own hit “In The Air Tonight”.

IF I CAN’T HAVE YOU

Yvonne Elliman

1978

U.K. - #4; U.S.A. - #1

If I Can't Have You — Yvonne Elliman | Last.fm

Trivia:

The Gibb brothers initially planned to give Yvonne Elliman the ballad "How Deep Is Your Love" to record for the 'Saturday Night Fever' film soundtrack. Their manager Robert Stigwood persuaded The Bee Gees to cut the song instead. Elliman was then given "If I Can't Have You" to record for the same soundtrack LP. Her hit became the fourth consecutive US #1 single co-written by Barry Gibb; following "Stayin' Alive" (4 weeks- Bee Gees), "(Love Is) Thicker Than Water" (2 weeks- Andy Gibb) and "Night Fever" (8 weeks- Bee Gees).
