The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Travis Barker

Travis Barker is famous for his presence in the legendary pop-punk band, Blink-182. Travis plays fast, loud, and clean. Travis has a background in hip-hop drumming, which has aided him in his conquest to be one of the best pop-punk drummers of all time. Those sounds merge quite easily with the reflective tones that these genres share.

Butch Trucks and Jaimoe (the Allman Brothers Band)

A two-for-one deal! Some might say this is cheating because there are two drummers in this band, but it would make more sense to do this than splitting them. Butch Trucks and Johanny “Jamioe” Johanson were inseparable since they met at the conception of the Allman Brothers Band. Few tandem drummers have been able to trust one another at such a high level, for that they deserve this ranking.
