The Most Influential Drummers of All Time

Phil Collins

Bet yall saw this one coming, it is only fair to include who many people consider the “actual best drummer of all time,” Phil Freaking Collins. A multi-instrumentalist, social icon, unstoppable artist, creator of the Tarzan soundtrack, half of Genesis, and genuinely an outstandingly creative percussionist. There's not much else we can say here outside of singing the praise of this genius. All hail Phil Collins.
